Consequence Modeling and Analysis of Benzene leakage and explosion from a poorly sited gas station in the City of Douala, Cameroon
Benzene has long been recognized as highly carcinogenic and the most cytotoxic of all air pollutants released by gas stations. Although several studies have been conducted on accidents in the process industry, very little work has…

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…

Delayed intracranial hemorrhage after head trauma seems rare and rarely needs intervention—even in antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy
Background Traumatic brain injury causes morbidity, mortality, and at least 2,500,000 yearly emergency depart-
ment visits in the USA. Computerized tomography of the head is the gold standard to detect traumatic intracranial
hemorrhage. Some are…

Determinants of hypertensive crisis among hypertensive patients at adult emergency departments of public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021: a case–control study
Background Hypertension (HTN) is a major global health problem that affects approximately 1.13 billion people
worldwide, and 1–2% of this population has hypertensive crisis. Hypertensive crisis is becoming a major health issue
in low-income…

Development and usability testing of a fully immersive VR simulation for REBOA training
Background Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a potentially life-saving procedure
for bleeding trauma patients. Being a rare and complex procedure performed in extreme situations, repetitive train-
ing of REBOA…

Diagnosis and management of elevated intracranial pressure in the emergency department
Background Elevated intracranial pressure is a devastating complication of catastrophic brain injury. Intracranial
hypertension is commonly seen in neurologic injury secondary to traumatic brain injuries. Uncontrolled pressures can
lead to…

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…

Disaster day: a simulation‑based competition for educating emergency medicine residents and medical students on disaster medicine
Background Biomechanical reduction techniques for shoulder dislocations have demonstrated high reduction
success rates with a limited pain experience for the patient. We postulated that the combination of biomechanical
reduction techniques with the…
