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…

Trauma‐informed care (TIC) best practices for improving patient care in the emergency department
A patient’s current or previous experience of trauma may have an impact on their health and affect their ability to
engage in health care. Every year, millions of patients who have experienced physically or emotionally traumatic
experiences present…

Atypical drug‐induced hypersensitivity
syndrome with multiple organ failure rescued
by combined acute blood purification therapy:
a case report
Background Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), is a severe
rash that often develops 2–6 weeks after the intake of the causative drug; however, its diagnosis is sometimes difficult.

Outcomes of prehospital traumatic cardiac arrest managed by helicopter emergency medical service personnel in Japan: a registry data analysis
Background Traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) is associated with poor outcomes. Helicopter emergency medical
services (HEMSs) are often used to transport critically ill patients to hospitals. However, the role of HEMS in the treat‐
ment of TCA remains…

Retrieval of ferromagnetic fragments from the lung using video‐assisted
thoracoscopic surgery and magnetic tool: a case report of combat patient injured in the war in Ukraine
Background Gunshot wounds injury to the thorax is common in armed conflicts or war, including the war of Rus-
sia against Ukraine. Injury to the chest is associated with a high mortality or physical disability due to damage
to the lungs, heart,…

A case report: anteroseptal ST elevation due to acute isolated right ventricular infarction
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…

Factors associated with non‐invasive positive pressure ventilation failure in a COVID‐19 intermediate care unit
Background The use of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in COVID-19 patients with hypoxaemia
is still under debate. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of NIPPV (CPAP, HELMET-CPAP or NIV) in COVID-19 patients
treated in the…

Factors for delays in door‐to‐balloon time≤90 min in an electrocardiogram triage system among patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction: a retrospective study
Background Door to balloon time is a crucial factor of mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction. However, the factors that contribute to failure of achieving door to balloon time≤90 min in an electrocar-
diogram…

Classification of suicidal behavior calls in emergency medical services: a systematic review
Background The aim of this systematic review was to examine the classification of calls for suicidal behavior in emer‐
gency medical services (EMS).
Methods A search strategy was carried out in four electronic databases on calls for suicidal…

Assessing competence needs for doctors in the emergency department duty rosters: an observational study
Background The purpose of our investigation is to analyze if emergency epidemiology is randomly variable or pre-
dictable. If emergency admissions show a predictable pattern, we can use it for multiple planning purposes, especially
defining…
