Clinical success was achieved in 19 of 29 (65.5%) patients. No major procedure-related complications occurred. Seven patients (24.1%) died within 30 days after the procedure. Embolotherapy in patients with life-threatening SRH leads to a high technical success rate and is a safe therapeutic option. The clinical success rate was acceptable and influenced by pre-interventional coagulation status and by the amount of transfused concentrated red cells.

High peak pressures delivered via bag valve mask (BVM) can be dangerous for patients. To examine manual ventilation performance among respiratory therapists (RTs) in a simulation model. Respiratory therapists (n=98) were instructed to ventilate a manikin for 18 breaths. Linear regression was utilized to determine associated predictors with the outcomes delivered tidal volume, pressure and flow rate. Among all participants, the mean ventilation parameters include a tidal volume of 599.70ml, peak pressure of 26.35cmH O, and flow rate of 77.20l/min. Higher confidence values were positively associated with delivered peak pressure (p=0.01) and flow rate (p=0.008). Those with the most confidence in using the BVM actually delivered higher peak pressures and flow rates compared to those with lower confidence levels. Our results emphasize the urgent need to create an intervention that allows providers to deliver safe and optimal manual ventilation.
