Study of C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and immunocyte ratios in 194 patients with sepsis
Background: Evidence suggests that C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and immune cells can predict sepsis
severity in adult patients. However, the specific values of these indicators are not consistent in predicting prognosis.
Methods:…

Hemogram-derived ratios as prognostic markers of ICU admission in COVID-19
Background: The vast impact of COVID-19 call for the identification of clinical parameter that can help predict a
torpid evolution. Among these, endothelial injury has been proposed as one of the main pathophysiological
mechanisms underlying the…

Validity and risk factor analysis for helicopter emergency medical services in Japan: a pilot study
Background: Some emergency departments use triage scales, such as the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale and
Japan Urgent Stroke Triage Score, to detect life-threatening situations. However, these protocols have not been
used for aeromedical…

Ultrasonography indicators for predicting difficult intubation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Ultrasonography (US) is recently used frequently as a tool for airway assessment prior to intubation
(endotracheal tube (ETT) placement), and several indicators have been proposed in studies with different reported
performances in this…

Comparison of base excess, lactate and pH predicting 72-h mortality of multiple trauma
Objective: To compare the predictive values of base excess (BE), lactate and pH of admission arterial blood gas for
72-h mortality in patients with multiple trauma.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis based on a publicly shared trauma dataset…

Prehospital time and mortality in polytrauma patients: a retrospective
analysis
Background: The time from injury to treatment is considered as one of the major determinants for patient
outcome after trauma. Previous studies already attempted to investigate the correlation between prehospital time
and trauma patient outcome.…

Factors influencing paramedics’ and emergency medical technicians’ level of knowledge about the 2015 basic life support guidelines
Background: This study aimed to determine the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge level and factors
affecting the current CPR knowledge level among EMTs and paramedics working in the Kayseri 112 emergency
health system.
Methods: This…

Incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest at general wards before and after implementation of an early warning score
Background: In order to reduce the incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) at general wards, medical
emergency teams (MET) were implemented in the Capital Region of Denmark in 2012 as the efferent part of a track
and trigger system. The…
