Timely intubation with early prediction of respiratory exacerbation in acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury
Background: Early routine intubation in motor-complete cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) above the C5 level is a
conventional protocol to prevent unexpected respiratory exacerbation (RE). However, in the context of recent
advances in…

The timing of administering aspirin and nitroglycerin in patients with STEMI ECG changes alter patient outcome
Background: Both chewed aspirin and sublingual nitroglycerin are fast acting medications and reach therapeutic
levels within a few minutes. Current guidelines for managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) do not recognize the
importance of the order…

Survival after traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Vietnam: a multicenter prospective cohort study
Background: Pre-hospital services are not well developed in Vietnam, especially the lack of a trauma system of
care. Thus, the prognosis of traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) might differ from that of other
countries. Although the…

suPAR cut-offs for stratification of low, medium, and high-risk acute medical patients in the emergency department
Background: Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels have previously been associated with
readmission and mortality in acute medical patients in the ED. However, no specific cut-offs for suPAR have been
tested in this…

Risk prediction of biomarkers for early multiple organ dysfunction in critically ill patients
Background: Shock and organ damage occur in critically ill patients in the emergency department because of
biological responses to invasion, and cytokines play an important role in their development. It is important to
predict early multiple organ…

Qualitative development and content validation of the “SPART” model; a focused ethnography study of observable diagnostic and therapeutic activities in the emergency medical services care process
Background: Clinical reasoning is a crucial task within the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) care process. Both
contextual and cognitive factors make the task susceptible to errors. Understanding the EMS care process’ structure
could help identify…

Prevention of alcohol withdrawal seizure recurrence and treatment of other alcohol withdrawal symptoms in the emergency department: a rapid review
Background: Patients who experience harms from alcohol and other substance use often seek care in the emergency
department (ED). ED visits related to alcohol withdrawal have increased across the world during the COVID-19

Predicting factors for abnormal brain computed tomography in children with minor head trauma
Background: Deciding whether a cranial Computed Tomography (CT) scan in a patient with minor head trauma
(MHT) is necessary or not has always been challenging. Diagnosing Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a fundamental
part of MHT managing especially…
