The Mackay-Marg, pneumatonograph, TonAir, and EMT-20 tonometers were evaluated in the normal dog eye. Tonometric scale readings were compared to the manometric recordings from the anterior chamber. The Mackay-Marg tonometer evaluated in open and closed systems was the most reliable (goodness of fit [r2] = 0.96) with intraocular pressure up to 100 mm. Hg. The pneumatonograph also exhibited high reliability (r2 = 0.92) but tended to underestimate intraocular pressures above 40 to 50 mm. Hg. The TonAir and EMT-20 tonometers were the least satisfactory for the dog, with r2 of 0.77 and 0.66 to 0.81, respectively. The Mackay-Marg is the most satisfactory tonometer for the dog.

To judge standard practice for managing arrhythmias, what an EMT should be able to do in the field, drugs of choice, the success of EMT training, and the quality of EMT performance, clinical algorithms were developed. Branching logic, forcing yes/no decisions and delineating actions for all contingencies helped formalize and systematize EMT management of urgent and emergency cases. The algorithm set was sent to 19 consultants for review of content, sequence, drug dosage, and drug usage. The results indicated lack of consensus on appropriate prehospital cardiac care, but the approval of the algorithm approach.

Blind defibrillation, defibrillation of an unconscious, pulseless adult without electrocardiographic verification of arrhythmia, allows early definitive treatment of cardiac arrest victims. Basic EMT-As have the ability to perform blind defibrillation in a prehospital setting, and place an esophageal obturator airway. When basic EMT-As are performing blind defibrillation, there should be a standard operating procedure involving diagnosis, defibrillation, CPR and re-evaluation.

A test of electrocardiogram diagnostic skills in the form of a ten-slide presentation of six-second rhythm strips was administered to 25 emergency department nurses, 23 intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, 34 cardiac technicians (CRT, EMT) and 37 physicians. The ICU nurses had the best performance overall. Physicians had difficulty with mechanical problems, viz, loose leads, flat line and inverted leads. ICU nurses had less difficulty identifying and treating flat line than did emergency department nurses. The study's limitations were that the sample was self-selected and that the providers might respond differently to a real life situation.

In 362 patients on permanent pacing, a follow up with regard to pacemaker electrode function time and connection to pulse-generators has been carried out. In 12 patients Elema epicardial electrode were used with an average function time of 3.8 years. 232 Elema EMT 588 endocardial electrodes were used in 216 patients. Average observation time for the electrodes was 3.3 years. Sixty-eight electrodes have been followed for more than 5 years. Early electrode complications comprise 10 per cent of displacements before implantation of the pulse-generator and another 6 per cent of electrode displacements within the first 3 months after implantation. Eleven per cent of the electrodes had to be corrected due to high threshold value before implantation and another 6 per cent during the first 3 months after implanattion of pulse-generator. On hundred and fifty-five unipolar electrodes of the types Cordis, Medtronic, Elema EMT 282, and Stanium were implanted in 149 patients. Average observation time for the electrodes were 1.2 years. During the first 3 months after pacemaker implant 7 per cent of the electrodes were dislocated, 5 per cent failed due to high threshold value. Three perforations of the right ventricle occurred, without serious complications. Late complications i.e. after 3 months, for EMT 588 electrode included 4 per cent electrode dislocations, 4.5 per cent failure due to high threshold, 3 cases of wire break and 4 defects in the insulation. Many of the late electrode complications were probably caused by replacement operations for pulse-generators. The most frequent late complications for the conventional unipolar electrode was wire break which occurred in 5 cases.

Electrode complications in a series of 220 patients are presented. At the primary pacemaker implantation, 114 patients received transvenous and 106 transthoracic electrodes. For the transvenous technique the Elema unipolar electrode (EMT 588 and 588 B) was used exclusively and for the transthoracic technique an epicardial disc electrode (EMT 567) was used in 64 per cent and myocardial electrodes (Vitatron MIP 125, Medtronic 5814 and 6913) in 36 per cent. The material was followed up for an average of three years (from 2 to 10 years). The dislocation frequency of transvenous electrodes was 10.4 per cent/patient-year, as 21 per cent of the electrodes became dislodged. Of the electrode dislocations, forty per cent occurred within the first post-implantation month. Exit block at stimulation with transthoracic electrodes was seen in 8.1 per cent/patient-year. Infections were more common with the transvenous than with the other types of electrodes. The myocardial electrode was significantly (p less than 0.05) more reliable than the transvenous electrode during the follow-up evaluated in terms of uncomplicated function time of the primary electrode. As in Helsinki both endocardial and myocardial-epicardial pacemaker electrodes have been used it seems to be of interest to report the results from our pacemaker material.

The limitation of an AC technique for the amplification and display of the indirectly recorded human corneofundal potential (CFP)is discussed. A Mingograph M34 with EMT 12 B preamplifiers (Siemens) has been tested with regard to a DC recording of the CFP. With the same purpose the electrical characteristics of two electrode types--a Kaiser lead alloy electrode and a Beckman silver-silver chloride cupped electrode--were examined and a suitable preparation of the skin contact area indicated. Finally the base line stability was evaluated and a comparative study of AC and DC recordings of the CFP presented and subjected to statistical anaylsis.

3 types of electrodes (Medtronic 6903, EMT 588, MIP 2000) of 123 patients are examined by following criterial 1. rate of dislocation, 2. development of threshold, 3. time of application. We found: The Medtronic has the smallest rate of dislocation, the lowest range of threshold and is quickly placed in the right ventricle. The rate of dislocation of the EMT 588 is still just acceptable and it also has a sufficient low threshold, but in comparison to the other helical-wire electrodes the disadvantage of being rather difficult to place in the right ventricle. The MIP 2000 has not proved to be useful due to its large rate of dislocation.

Intermittent pacemaker bradycardia (down to 46 and 52/min, respectively) occurred in two patients with a demand pacemaker (Variopacemaker Elema-Schonander EM 169 B with unipolar endocardial electrode EMT 288B/62). The cause was a disorder of pacemaker function by an increased or especially steeply rising T wave which, outside the refractory period of the pacemaker, was mistakenly sensed as an R wave. The rapid rise was in some additional way caused by the P wave falling onto the T wave. Quinidine bisulphate changed the shape of the T wave, and pacemaker function returned to normal. The results were confirmed by a return of the disturbance when quinidine was discontinued.

A 22-week training program for EMT-A technicians, developed at the University of Connecticut Health Center, has been described. The program is coordinated by a trauma surgeon and a security officer, and teaching is carried out by faculty, residents, emergency-room nurses, experienced rescue-team members, EMT firemen, and the like. Lectures and videotaped practical problems are used. High levels of teaching and cooperation between the university health center and the community were maintained.
