Opis:: Background The profession of a firefighter is fraught with a significant risk of injuries. Firefighters operate in hazardous zones to mitigate threats and combat fires. Aim of work is to evaluate the accident rate of the officers of the Polish State Fire Service in connection with their service, considering direct participation in rescue operations, and other official duties between the years 2015–2022. Material and Methods An 8-year analysis was conducted from reports covered the number of accidents, the number of injured firefighters, the age of the officers, the circumstances of the event, and the type and location of the injury. This includes fire and rescue operations, exercises, training, official trips, sports activities, and technical work related to equipment. Results Between 2015 and 2022, there were 12 588 individual and group accidents in various circumstances. Most firefighter accidents occurred during rescue and firefighting operations, as well as during sports activities which dominate as the cause of injuries among firefighters in the observed period (37.8%), and injuries related to rescue and fire-fighting activities constitute 28.5%. Other work activities of firefighters cause 33.7% of injuries. In 2020 was a clear reduction in the number of accidents per 1000 employed firefighters in each observed parameter (total, interventions, sport) while maintaining the average level of firefighter employment (M±SD 30 099±224). Conclusions The most frequent circumstances of injury are slippery and challenging spaces, surfaces, and carelessness. The most common type of body injury is a dislocation and sprain concerning the ankle joint, foot. The most frequent causes of work-related injuries for firefighters, as the results indicate, are participation in team sports and fire-fighting and rescue operations. The most commonly occurring medical consequences resulting from a firefighter’s injury are fractures, sprains, and contusions of various body areas. Firefighters are most burdened with injuries in the age group 26–35 years old.

trauma
Opis:: A rare type of risk associated with firefighting activities and affecting the central nervous system (CNS) is acoustic trauma. The main causes of acoustic trauma in professional firefighters include long-term exposure to noise from fire engine sirens, emergency call alarms in the fire stations (fire halls), and the operation of equipment used during rescue and firefighting operations. The study was based on an analysis of data obtained from the HR Department of the National Headquarters of the State Fire Service (NHSFS). The analysis included cases of acoustic trauma suffered by firefighters while on duty, which were reported to the control room of their firefighting units as rescuer accidents, and followed up with medical interventions. The average number of accidents among SFS firefighters per year during the study period was n=1.617. During the study period (2015-2022), there were seven incidents in which a total of 11 firefighters suffered acoustic trauma affecting the CNS and the organ of hearing. To prevent on-duty accidents, both practical and theoretical training sessions are provided, covering measures aimed at reducing accident rates to minimum levels. Other important activities include hearing prophylaxis; medical examinations; breaks during work, appropriate organisation of work and the working environment; compliance with the applicable regulations, internal procedures and safety instructions; the use of personal protective equipment, and the good technical condition of vehicles and equipment.

Opis:: Exposure to carbon monoxide is a common hazard in firefighting practice throughout the year, regardless of the winter heating season. Therefore this analysis of the interventions of fire protection units in incidents related to carbon monoxide exposure of a non-fire origin. The objectives include two risk groups: people affected by the intervention and the health risks to fire officers themselves. The analysed material covers the years 2017-2022 and interventions of fire protection units in incidents related to carbon monoxide exposure of a non-fire origin (chemical hazard events). Data from the Decision Support System of the State Fire Service (DSSSFS), provided to the authors by the Operational Planning Office at the Headquarters of the State Fire Service, were used in the study. According to the records of the State Fire Service (SFS) in the years 2017-2022, there were 28,766 (Mean 4794; SD 413) chemical hazard events: carbon monoxide was the cause. There were only 5724 reports of symptoms with a known CO concentration and 1974 reports with clinical symptoms. Statistically significant differences were demonstrated in exposure time (p= 0.028) and average CO concentration in the analysed years (p<0.001). Noteworthy is the sudden reduction in the exposure time following the year 2020. The actual exposure of firefighters to carbonmonoxide is greater than in the above analysis, in addition, there are exposures from fire incidents. Procedures, measuring equipment, and personal protective equipment protect firefighters from absorbing harmful substances into the body, but the large number of incidents and the visible clinical symptoms in victims should prompt firefighters with many years of service to observe even the smallest worrying neurological changes in themselves.

Opis:: Background. The aim of the study was the assessment of the level of firefighters’ knowledge about the principles of helping injured minors (children of no specific age) with thermal burns. Material and methods. An anonymous survey was conducted in the period 1st February 2023 - 30th April 2023 among firefighters in the three Polish voivodships: Lublin, Świętokrzyskie and Warmian-Masurian. The study included 346 people who agreed to participate in the study and completed the questionnaire. The original questionnaire included 17 questions regarding demographics and checking the knowledge of emergency medical services including the issue of thermal burns. Results. In the study group, the average length of service was 11±7 years. People with longer work experience were statistically significantly more likely to provide aid to burn victims (45% vs. 58%, p=0.022), but there was no statistically significant impact of work experience on the level of knowledge about: the influence of the burn surface area on the risk of developing hypothermia in a child (p=0.880; p=0.482), the severe burn surface area in a child (p=0.478; p=0.143), and calculating the burn surface area in a child (p=0.408; p=0.168). Conclusions. The level of firefighters’ knowledge about helping minors injured due to thermal burns is insufficient. The frequency of helping burn victims did not have a significant impact on the level of knowledge about the burn surface area and the risk of shock. Child’s reactions to stress and pain, as well as the emotions of parents were indicated as the most frequent difficulties while providing advanced first aid.
Wprowadzenie. Celem badań była ocena poziomu wiedzy strażaków z zakresu zasad udzielania pomocy poszkodowanym małoletnim (dzieciom bez określenia konkretnego wieku) z oparzeniem termicznym. Materiał i metody. Anonimową ankietę przeprowadzono w okresie od 01.02.2023 r. do 30.04.2023 r. wśród strażaków w trzech województwach: lubelskim, świętokrzyskim i warmińsko-mazurskim. Do badań włączono 346 osób, które zgodziły się na udział w nich i wypełniły kwestionariusz. Autorski kwestionariusz obejmował 17 pytań – w tym metryczkę – oraz pytania sprawdzające wiedzę z zakresu ratownictwa medycznego, w tym oparzeń termicznych. Wyniki. Średni staż pracy w grupie badanej wynosił 11±7 lat. Osoby z dłuższym stażem pracy istotnie statystycznie częściej udzielały pomocy oparzonym (45% vs 58%, p=0,022), nie wykazano istotnego statystycznie wpływu stażu pracy strażaków na wiedzę dotyczącą: wpływu powierzchni oparzenia na wystąpienie hipotermii u dziecka (p=0,880; p=0,482), powierzchni oparzenia w stopniu ciężkim u dziecka (p=0,478; p=0,143), wyliczania powierzchni oparzenia u dziecka (p=0,408; p=0,168). Wnioski. Stan wiedzy strażaków z zakresu zasad udzielania pomocy poszkodowanym małoletnim z powodu oparzenia termicznego jest niewystarczający. Częstość udzielania pomocy poszkodowanym nie wpłynęła istotnie na stan wiedzy badanych z zakresu znajomości powierzchni oparzenia oraz ryzyka wystąpienia wstrząsu. Reakcje dziecka na stres i ból oraz emocje rodziców strażacy wskazali jako najczęstsze trudności podczas udzielania kwalifikowanej pierwszej pomocy.

Opis:: Background. Loneliness is a common phenomenon among human populations worldwide. Elderly people are particularly affected by loneliness due to difficulties in using communicators (telephone, social media) providing remote contact. National Emergency Medical Service (EMS) entities are the units responsible for undertaking medical rescue operations on the scene of an incident and qualified patient transport. The ambulance equipment, including measuring and monitoring devices, dressing articles, pharmaceuticals and procedures used by medical rescue teams are dedicated mainly to urgent cases. Material and methods. The study comprised a 3-year retrospective analysis of trips performed by the EMS between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2022, to a female patient living alone. The following measures were calculated to characterize the variables: number (n) and frequency (%), in addition Min, Max, Mean and Standard Deviation (SD). Results. In the period under observation, 49 EMS interventions were performed. There were 1085 days (2 years; 11 months; 21 days) between the first and last intervention under observation. The highest intensity of calls occurred in March 2020 (n=9), and May 2020 (n=10); the largest intervals between the calls occurred in the second half of 2022. The share of events in particular years was as follows: 2020 (n=33), 2021 (n=10), 2022 (n=6). Conclusions. Loneliness and lack of care from the family affects the condition of chronic diseases. The frequency of EMS calls in the described case was higher at night. An increase in the frequency of interventions corresponded with the period of the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Poland as a new unknown threat. Predominantly pharmacology in the form of sedatives, analgesics and drugs lowering hypertension, was used which was a response to the needs of the patient’s clinical condition.
Wprowadzenie. Samotność jest powszechnym zjawiskiem wśród populacji ludzkich na całym świecie. Problemem samotności szczególnie dotknięte są osoby starsze, ze względu na trudności w posługiwaniu się komunikatorami (telefon, media społecznościowe) zapewniającymi kontakt zdalny. Podmioty Państwowego Ratownictwa Medycznego (RM) to jednostki odpowiedzialne za podjęcie medycznych czynności ratunkowych na miejscu zdarzenia oraz kwalifikowany transport pacjenta. Wyposażenie ambulansu, w tym aparatura pomiarowo-monitorująca, artykuły opatrunkowe, farmaceutyki oraz procedury stosowane przez zespoły ratownictwa medycznego dedykowane są głównie do stanów nagłych. Materiał i metody. Badanie obejmowało 3-letnią retrospektywną analizę wyjazdów RM w okresie od 1 stycznia 2020 r. do 31 grudnia 2022 r. do pacjentki mieszkającej samotnie. W celu scharakteryzowania zmiennych wykorzystano następujące miary: liczbę (n) i częstość (%), dodatkowo Min, Max, Średnia i Odchylenie Standardowe (SD). Wyniki. W okresie objętym obserwacją wykonano 49 interwencji RM. Pomiędzy pierwszą a ostatnią obserwowaną interwencją upłynęło 1085 dni (2 lata; 11 miesięcy; 21 dni). Największe natężenie wezwań wystąpiło w marcu 2020 r. (n=9) oraz w maju 2020 r. (n=10); największe przerwy między wezwaniami wystąpiły w drugiej połowie 2022 r. Udział zdarzeń w poszczególnych latach: 2020 (n=33), 2021 (n=10), 2022 (n=6). Wnioski. Samotność i brak opieki ze strony rodziny może pogłębić dolegliwości rozpoznanych chorób. Częstotliwość wezwań RM w opisywanym przypadku większa jest w porze nocnej. Wzrost częstotliwość interwencji koreluje z okresem początku epidemii SARS-CoV-2 w Polsce jako nowego nieznanego zagrożenia. W prezentowanym przypadku stosowano farmakologię w postaci leków uspokajających, przeciwbólowych i obniżających nadciśnienie tętnicze, co jest odpowiedzią na zapotrzebowanie stanu klinicznego pacjentki.

Opis:: This paper presents the possible use for IR spectroscopy to reveal skid marks left by cars equipped with Anti-lock Braking System. Detailed analysis of literature showed that there is no method that can be used in order to investigate this kind of tire marks. Up till now only two techniques have been devised. The first one is Method of Image Refinement which consists of transforming the image from the scene of the accident using dedicated graphics software. Second method includes analysis of traces using a thermal imaging camera. This study presents an innovative approach to the problem. Numerous analyses using IR spectroscopy were conducted to check the suitability of this method. The research performed on a Thermo Scientific FTIR Nicolet iS50 Spectrophotometer with an ATR attachment. 40 samples from 10 different types of asphalt were prepared. Each sample was measured 3 times to create its spectrum. The results were analyzed thoroughly using the dedicated SpectraGryph software. Analysis show that the wavelength which makes the braking marks visible is found within the mid-infrared range. Finally, it was found wavelength in which skid marks should be visible. This range is located in the mid-infrared.

Opis:: Presented paper discusses a new, nonlinear approach to EES (Equivalent Energy Speed) parameter determination in frontal car collisions. This method is based on tensor product of Legendre polynomials and in this case considers Luxury car class. Methods that are used up till now are based on a linear dependency between mass, velocity and deformation. This is of course a simplification that was necessary, due to limitation in computation power of computers when this method was introduced decades ago. The contemporary resources allowed Authors to develop a much more sophisticated method. The mathematical model was developed using data shared by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This database covers a large number of test cases along with various information including vehicle mass, crash velocity, chassis deformation etc. New method proves to be more accurate than the currently used approach utilizing linear dependency of deformation force and deformation of the vehicle.

Opis:: Presented paper discusses two different nonlinear approaches to precrash velocity determination for vehicles from Intermediate Car Class. Data that was used to perform analyses introduced in this paper was taken from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) database. Such database is comprised of substantial number of crash cases and main focus was put on frontal impacts. Hitherto used energy methods are based on linear model which proves to be inaccurate and producing significant errors. Presented considerations concern the inverse system and tensor product of Legendre polynomials. The focus of those methods is to establish the value of nonlinear coefficient bk which is the slope factor of precrash velocity Vt and deformation ratio Cs function.
