The diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis is of vital importance, especially in emergency situations where there is a lack of time and the patient's condition is critical. Late diagnosis causes cost increase, long waiting time, and improper treatment. Today, with the rapidly developing technology, the cost of thermal cameras is gradually decreasing day by day. Studies have shown that many diseases are associated with heat. As a result, infrared images are thought to be a tool for diagnosing various diseases. In this study, it has been shown that infrared thermal imaging can be used as a pre-screening test in the diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis with the developed computer aided software. In addition, a sample combination is shown for applications that utilize emergency services to perform diagnosis and treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis as soon as possible.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a rapid cardiac ultrasound assessment performed by trained non-expert sonographers integrated into the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). Material and methods This study was prospectively performed in 179 patients (104 males and 75 females) who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an emergency department (ED) during two calendar years (2013 and 2014). Two senior doctors, who had received emergency cardiac ultrasonography training, performed cardiac ultrasound through the apical, subxiphoid, or parasternal windows. Ultrasound evaluation and pulse controls were performed simultaneously. SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 63.7% (114) of the cardiopulmonary arrest incidents occurred out of the hospital. Only 13 patients had a femoral pulse during the initial evaluation, while 166 showed no femoral pulse. Initial monitoring showed a regular rhythm in 53 patients, ventricular fibrillation in 18 patients, and no rhythms in 108 patients. The first evaluation with ultrasound detected an effective heart rate in 26 patients and ventricular fibrillation in 14 patients, while no effective heart rate was observed in 139 patients. In addition, ultrasound revealed pericardial tamponade in seven patients and right ventricular enlargement in four cases. Global hypokinesia was detected in four patients and hypovolemia was observed in another four patients. Conclusion The use of real-time ultrasonography during resuscitation with real-time femoral pulse check can help facilitate the distinguishing of pea-type arrest, ascertain the cause of the arrest, infer a suitable treatment, and optimize medical management decisions regarding CPR termination.

Aim: In this study, all interventions made by lay rescuers and health professionals and the shortcomings for cardiopulmonary arrest management outside the hospital were examined. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted between December 2012 and May 2014 in the Emergency Department of Gaziantep University. To ensure orderly and standardized records, a study form was prepared that consisted of 31 questions. The time and location of the cardiac arrest, information regarding the lay rescuers and professional health workers, and the practices followed during transport and at the emergency service were examined. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software version 22.0, and p

Diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis, especially where emergency services, such as lack of time and the critical condition of the patient is of vital importance. Delay in diagnosis affect treatment negatively besides the long wait times and increasing costs. Today, the cost of thermal cameras with rapidly evolving technology is decreasing day by day. In studies, it appears that many diseases are associated with temperature. As a result, the infrared images are thought to be a tool in the diagnosis of various diseases. In this study, infrared thermal imaging have been shown to be useful as a screening test for the diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis with the developed computer aided software.
