Physician‐staffed prehospital units: a retrospective follow‐up from an urban area in Scandinavia
Background The aim of this study was to determine when and how rapid response vehicles (RRVs) make a difference
in prehospital care by investigating the number and kinds of RRV assignment dispatches and the prehospital charac-
teristics and…

Point of Care Ultrasonographic Life Support in Emergency (PULSE)—a quasi‐experimental study
Background Many physicians use point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in their clinical practice to improve their diag-
nostic capabilities, accuracy, and timeliness. Over the last two decades, the use of PoCUS in the emergency room
has dramatically…

Pre‐excited atrial fibrillation revealed at a very delayed age: case report
Background Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a condition characterized by the persistence of an accessory
pathway responsible for ventricular pre-excitation that can lead to symptomatic and potentially severe arrhythmias.

Reverse shock index (RSI) as a predictor of post‐intubation cardiac arrest (PICA)
Background Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in critically ill patients is a high-risk procedure due to the increased risk
of cardiac arrest, and several factors may predict poor outcomes in these patients. The aim of this study was to inves-
tigate…

ROX index versus HACOR scale in predicting success and failure of high‐flow nasal cannula in the emergency department for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: a prospective observational study
Background High-flow nasal cannula has been a promising initial respiratory support measure for patients with
acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) in the emergency department (ED). However, delayed detection of HFNC
failure is associated with…
