      Bakke, Håkon Kvåle; Steinvik, Tine; Eidissen, Silje-Iren; Gilbert, Mads; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-19)
      Background: Bystander first aid and basic life support can likely improve victim survival in trauma. In contrast to bystander first aid and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, little is known about the role of bystanders in trauma response. Our aim was to determine how frequently first aid is given to trauma victims by bystanders, the quality of this aid, the professional background of first-aid ...
    • Can video mobile phones improve CPR quality when used for dispatcher assistance during simulated cardiac arrest? 

      Bolle, Stein Roald; Gilbert, Mads; Scholl, Jeremiah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009)
      Background: Because mobile telephones may support video calls, emergency medical dispatchers may now connect visually with bystanders during pre-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We studied the quality of simulated dispatcher-assisted CPR when guidance was delivered to rescuers by video calls or audio calls from mobile phones. Methods: One hundred and eighty high school students were ...

    • "Nobody is dead until warm and dead": Prolonged resuscitation is warranted in arrested hypothermic victims also in remote areas - A retrospective study from northern Norway 

      Hilmo, Jonas; Næsheim, Torvind; Gilbert, Mads (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-01)
      Hypothermic cardiac arrest has high mortality and few known prognostic factors. We studied retrospectively 34 victims of accidental hypothermia with cardiac arrest admitted to The University Hospital of North Norway during 1985–2013 who were resuscitated and rewarmed by extracorporeal circulation. No patient survived prior to 1999, while nine out of 24 (37.5%) survived hypothermic cardiac arrest ...

    • Traumatic amputations caused by drone attacks in the local population in Gaza: a retrospective cross-sectional study 

      Heszlein-Lossius, Hanne Edøy; Al-Borno, Yahya; Shaqqoura, Samar; Skaik, Nashwa; Melvær, Giil Lasse; Gilbert, Mads (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-14)

Gaza is a landstrip within the Palestinian territories and the home of 2 million people. The median age in Gaza is 17·2 years and almost half of the population is below the age of 14 years. We studied the prevalence and severity of extremity amputation ...
