National survey on availability, use and clinical impact of point-of-care blood analysis systems in Swedish emergency departments
Expedited diagnostic results are important in time sensitive operations like the Emergency Department (ED). Point-of-care testing (POCT) is used for a broad range of blood tests reducing wait times and providing faster decisions on patient management…
Knowledge about crime scenes and evidence management among emergency medical team professionals
To ensure that no criminal evidence has been moved or destroyed from the crime scene, emergency medical team (EMT) professionals should receive appropriate training, particularly in recognizing, collecting, preserving, and documenting evidence in…
Modelling emergency response times for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) patients in rural areas of the North of England using routinely collected data
National response time targets for ambulance services are known to be more strongly maintained in urban areas compared to rural. That may mean that responses in rural areas could be less immediate which can in turn affect survival of those…
Evaluating the effect of a scenario-based pre-hospital trauma management training course on the knowledge and clinical skills of emergency medical service students
Implementing innovative educational methods is crucial for enhancing emergency technicians’ knowledge and skills in providing fundamental care for trauma patients. This study aims to assess the impact of a scenario-based pre-hospital trauma…
Enhancing clinical risk assessment in pediatric blunt abdominal trauma: A novel scoring system using ultrasound and laboratory data
Given the importance of diagnosing intra-abdominal injury (IAI) in children with blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) and preventing radiation exposure to children by avoiding CT scans, this study aimed to evaluate a scoring criterion based on ultrasound…
Nurses’ lived experiences of self-control in emergency settings: a qualitative study
Given nurses’ vital role in emergencies, it is essential to understand their perceptions and strategies for self-control. This study examines nurses’ experiences and insights regarding self-control during high-pressure scenarios. The findings could…
Predictors of high-acuity outcomes among 10–17-year-olds utilizing pediatric emergency services in Taiwan: a sex-based comparison of male and female adolescents
Adolescents’ emergency department (ED) presentations are multi-faceted. However, patient characteristics and chief complaints associated with severe outcomes, particularly sex differences, remain underexplored. This study aimed to identify predictors…
Using an audiovisual feedback device improves cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance during day and night – a randomized controlled simulation study
Survival of in-hospital-cardiac-arrests is lower when they occur at night and at weekends than when they occur during the day. Despite numerous studies, there is little evidence regarding the cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality at night and the…
Incidence and outcomes of dysnatremia in crush injury patients admitted to Türkiye’s largest hospital following the Kahramanmaraş earthquake
Dysnatremia is a critical electrolyte disturbance that can significantly impact the prognosis of trauma patients by influencing fluid balance, neurological function, and hemodynamics. Although sodium disorder is common in hospitalized patients, few…
Enhancing trauma triage in low-resource settings using machine learning: a performance comparison with the Kampala Trauma Score
Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a disproportionate impact on populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Kampala Trauma Score (KTS) is frequently used for triage in these settings,…
