This is free access to the online version of "Journal of Emergency Medical Services". There are some pretty interesting articles published within this journal that those of you in pre-hospital care or emergency departments may enjoy reading

Modified Valsalva – REVERT Study - This was a randomized clinical trial looking at utilizing a modified Valsalva technique to convert supra ventricular tachycardia (SVT) to sinus rhythm. The results of applying the modified Valsalva technique demonstrated a 43% conversion rate versus a 17% conversion rate with standard Valsalva technique.

The best way to describe this modified technique is for you to watch this short (2 minutes) You tube video presented by one of the investigators of the REVERT study. This is a great technique that all emergency personnel should be thinking about implementing next time faced with a patient in SVT.

Accidental Hypothermia: The Incredible Story of Survival - Remarkable survival cases highlight human resilience. One such story is that of Anna Bågenholm, a 29-year-old skier who was trapped under ice in a glacial stream for 80 minutes. Found in asystole with a core temperature of 13.7°C, Anna underwent 9 hours of advanced resuscitation—and survived with minimal neurological impairment.

Double Sequential External Defibrillation (DSED) in Action - This is an advanced technique used in refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) when standard defibrillation has failed. It involves delivering two rapid, sequential shocks using two defibrillators to increase the chances of restoring a normal rhythm. This technique is considered after 3 unsuccessful standard defibrillation attempts in adults with a shockable rhythm during cardiac arrest.

Intraosseous Access (IO) - Consider this technique if you have two failed attempts at IV access. Click to see IO needle insertion on a manikin and EZ IO insertion on a patient.
