This article describes the emergency medical service (EMS) response elicited by the two incidents. Methods: A retrospective and observational study was conducted based on data from the EMS systems involved and the public domain. The study was approved by the Data Protection Official and was defined as a quality improvement project. Results: We describe the timeline and logistics of the EMS response, focusing on alarm, dispatch, initial response, triage and evacuation. The scenes in the Oslo government district and at Utøya island are described separately. Conclusions: Many EMS units were activated and effectively used despite the occurrence of two geographically separate incidents within a short time frame. Important lessons were learned regarding triage and evacuation, patient flow and communication, the use of and need for emergency equipment and the coordination of helicopter EMS.

The NOREPOS Hip fracture Database includes all hospitalizations for hip fracture in Norway. 1 SUMMARY • During 2009-2011, NOREPOS (Norwegian Epidemiologic Osteoporosis Studies) established a database consisting of all hip fractures treated in Norwegian hospitals during the 15-year period 01.01.1994 - 31.12.2008. • Hip fracture data were retrieved by a system developed by the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services, which was linked to the Patient Administration System (PAS) in 48 hospitals/health trusts performing hip fracture surgery in Norway. • All stays in hospital with a primary or secondary diagnosis code matching the ICD-9 code 820 (all subgroups) or the ICD-10 codes S72.0, S72.1, and S72.2 were retrieved.

  • The Bomb Attack in Oslo and the Shootings at Utøya, 2011
    The bomb attack in Oslo and the shootings at Utøya, 2011 KAMEDO report 97 Kamedo – the Swedish Disaster Medicine Study Organisation – has existed since 1964 and was previously known as the Swedish Disaster Medicine Organisation Committee. The committee started its activities under the auspices of the Swedish Research Delegation for Defence Medicine. In 1974 Kamedo was transferred to FOA (the Swedish Defence Research Establishment), now called FOI (the Swedish Defence Research Agency). Kamedo has been affiliated with the National Board of Health and Welfare since 1988. The main task of Kamedo is to send expert observers to places in the world affected by large-scale accidents or disasters. The observers are sent to disaster areas at short notice and collect relevant information by contacting key individuals, principally on a colleague-to-colleague basis. The information they obtain may only be used for documentation purposes. There are four main areas which are studied first and foremost: the medical, psychological, organisational and social aspects of disasters. Results from the studies are published in Kamedo reports that are listed on the National Board of Health and Welfare’s website. As of report number 74 the full reports may be downloaded, but for the earlier reports only the summary is available on the website. From report number 34 and onward they have a summary in English and as of report number 55 these are downloadable from the website. From number 89 and onward the whole reports have been translated into English. The authors are responsible for the contents and conclusions, the National Board of Health and Welfare draws no conclusions in the document.
