Bedside lung ultrasound for the diagnosis of pneumonia in children presenting to an emergency department in a resource‐limited setting
Background Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an effective tool for diagnosing pneumonia; however, this has not been well
studied in resource-limited settings where pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age.
Objective The…

ROX index versus HACOR scale in predicting success and failure of high‐flow nasal cannula in the emergency department for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: a prospective observational study
Background High-flow nasal cannula has been a promising initial respiratory support measure for patients with
acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) in the emergency department (ED). However, delayed detection of HFNC
failure is associated with…

BRASD trial: biomechanical reposition techniques in anterior shoulder dislocation—a randomized multicenter clinical trial
Background Biomechanical reduction techniques for shoulder dislocations have demonstrated high reduction
success rates with a limited pain experience for the patient. We postulated that the combination of biomechanical
reduction techniques with the…

Clinical factors associated with adverse clinical outcomes in elderly versus non‐elderly COVID‐19 emergency patients: a multi‐center observational study
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 6 million deaths worldwide. The elderly accounted for a
large proportion of patients with their mortality rate largely higher than the non-elderly. However, limited studies
have explored clinical…
