Impact of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation on neurological outcomes in patients undergoing veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Background Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) requires a large amount of economic
and human resources. The presence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was focused on selecting
appropriate V-A ECMO…

Correlation and agreement between arterial and venous blood gas analysis in patients with hypotension—an emergency department‐based cross‐sectional study
Background Blood gas analysis is integral to assessing emergency department (ED) patients with acute respiratory
or metabolic disease. Arterial blood gas (ABG) is the gold standard for oxygenation, ventilation, and acid–base status
but is painful…

Spinal injury with spinal ankylosing disorders as a primary cause of death: report of two cases
Background Spinal ankylosing disorders (SADs) refer to a group of conditions resulting in spontaneous or postsurgi-
cal ossification and fusion of the spinal segments. The spine becomes increasingly susceptible to injury over time such

The comparison of emergency medical service responses to and outcomes of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest before and during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Thailand: a cross‐sectional study
Background During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the format of patients with out-of-hospital
cardiac arrest (OHCA) management was modified. Therefore, this study compared the response time and survival at

Diagnosis and treatment approaches for simultaneous onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage and thyroid storm: a case report
Background Subarachnoid hemorrhage and thyroid storm are similar in their clinical symptomatology, and diagno-
sis of these conditions, when they occur simultaneously, is difficult. Here, we report a rare case of concurrent suba-
rachnoid…

Monkeypox epidemiology, clinical presentation, and transmission: a systematic review
Background The new zoonotic viral infection, monkeypox, is a global health issue. Our study aimed at studying the
epidemiology, clinical presentation, complications, case fatality rate, and transmission among the present cases of
monkeypox…

Unexpected carboxyhemoglobin half‐life during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a case report
Background Cardiac arrest (CA) following CO poisoning (CO-induced CA) exposes patients to an extremely high risk
of mortality and remains challenging to treat effectively. Terminal carboxyhemoglobin elimination half-life (COHbt1/2)
is critically…

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome and non‐occlusive mesenteric ischemia due to Pasteurella multocida‐related sepsis with purpura fulminans: a case report
Background Pasteurella multocida-related sepsis can cause purpura fulminans (PF), a rare thrombotic disorder that
often presents acutely and is potentially fatal. As a consequence of disseminated intravascular coagulation, this
hematological…
