Improving prediction accuracy of hospital arrival vital signs using a multi-output machine learning model: a retrospective study of JSAS-registry data
The study included 10,478 patients (median age 70 years; 69% male). The model achieved mean absolute errors of 7.1 bpm for heart rate, 15.7 mmHg for systolic blood pressure, 10.8 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure, 2.9 breaths/min for respiratory…
In-hospital stay of anemic patients in the ED with/without transfusion: a single-center propensity-matched study
Anemia affects up to 25% of emergency department (ED) patients. Restrictive red blood cell (RBC) transfusion strategies are recommended for stable patients, but ED transfusion practices often remain liberal. Benefits of ED transfusion remains…
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…
Indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in older adult patients with accidental hypothermia and hemodynamic instability
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) indications in patients with accidental hypothermia (AH) and hemodynamic instability before cardiac arrest (CA) are unclear. We aimed to identify a subgroup of these patients who would benefit from ECMO…
Influence of different relationships of bystanders to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients on the effectiveness of dispatcher-assisted CPR
Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) significantly improves CPR performance by bystanders, increasing the survival of patients. However, emotional stress among family members witnessing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may…
Investigating BLS instructors’ ability to evaluate CPR performance: focus on compression depth, rate, and recoil
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) presents significant challenges with low survival rates, emphasizing the need for effective bystander CPR training. In Basic Life Support (BLS) training, the role of instructors is pivotal as they assess and…
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…
Knowledge, attitude, and determinant factors towards emergency first-aid utilization among public transport service drivers in Injibara, northwest Ethiopia
Providing timely first-aid by trained responders can reduce deaths and disabilities from road traffic accidents, a leading global cause of death. Ethiopia ranks 19th worldwide and 4th in Africa. Therefore, this study assesses the knowledge and,…
Leveling of triggers: a comprehensive summative content analysis of factors contributing to physical violence in emergency medical services
The literature has identified numerous factors that contribute to workplace violence, ranging from environmental stressors to interpersonal conflict. However, a gap remains in our understanding of the specific factors associated with physical…
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…
