Psychological wellbeing in survivors of cardiac arrest, and its relationship to neurocognitive function (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Objective To characterise psychological wellbeing in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and examine its relationship to cognitive function. Patients Forty-one highly functioning cardiac arrest survivors were drawn from the fol...

An exploration of the views of paramedics regarding airway management (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Brandling et al. Background: Paramedics are a skilled group of clinicians with expertise in airway management. Our research group has completed a trial comparing supraglottic airway devices with tracheal intubation during out of hospital cardi...

The development and evaluation of an educational intervention for primary care promoting person-centred responses to dementia (2015)
Journal Article

© 2013, © The Author(s) 2013. Background Early diagnosis of dementia within primary care is important to allow access to support. However, dementia remains under-detected in general practice. Aim This work aimed to develop and evaluate an educational...

Journal Article

The 'Necksafe' head articulation control system: A novel cervical immobilisation device (2014)
Journal Article

Introduction: The early application of a semirigid disposable cervical collar following trauma is considered a routine practice. The aim of these devices is to immobilise the cervical spine and minimise the risk of additional neurological damage. How...

Education about dementia in primary care: Is person-centredness the key? (2014)
Journal Article

Primary care is ideally placed to recognise and manage dementia and yet dementia can be overlooked or misattributed by primary care practitioners and is underdiagnosed. This might be explained by a lack of formal training in the diagnosis of dementia... Read More about Education about dementia in primary care: Is person-centredness the key?.

How do paramedics manage the airway during out of hospital cardiac arrest? (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors. Aim: The best method of initial airway management during resuscitation for out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is unknown. The airway management techniques used currently by UK paramedics during resuscitation for OHCA are not we...

The measurement of tissue interface pressures and changes in jugular venous parameters associated with cervical immobilisation devices: A systematic review (2013)
Journal Article

Cervical immobilisation is commonly applied following trauma, particularly blunt head injury, but current methods of immobilisation are associated with significant complications. Semi-rigid disposable cervical collars are known to cause pressure ulce...

Randomised comparison of the effectiveness of the laryngeal mask airway supreme, i-gel and current practice in the initial airway management of prehospital cardiac arrest (REVIVE-Airways): A feasibility study research protocol (2013)
Journal Article

Introduction: Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation with appropriate airway management improves outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Historically, tracheal intubation has been accepted as the optimal form of OHCA airway manage...

Methods for evaluating cervical range of motion in trauma settings (2012)
Journal Article

Immobilisation of the cervical spine is a common procedure following traumatic injury. This is often precautionary as the actual incidence of spinal injury is low. Nonetheless, stabilisation of the head and neck is an important part of pre-hospital c... Read More about Methods for evaluating cervical range of motion in trauma settings.
