Title A name given to the resource Treatment strategy for compartment syndrome at multiple regions due to injuries caused by a tree fall: a case report Subject The topic of the resource Compartment syndrome, Crush syndrome, Gluteal compartment syndrome, Thigh compartment syndrome, Fasciotomy Description An account of the resource Abstract Background Compartment syndrome commonly occurs in patients with forearm and lower leg fractures. Compart- ment syndromes of the gluteal and thigh muscles are less common. It is imperative that compartment syndrome be diagnosed and treated with fasciotomy as soon as possible. However, there are few reports on the diagnosis and treatment strategies for compartment syndromes that occur simultaneously in multiple anatomical regions or in the ipsilateral gluteal region and thigh. Case presentation We report on a 76-year-old man who was obliquely crushed under a tree extending from the right forearm to the left groin. He was brought to our emergency room, where he was diagnosed with com- partment syndrome of the right forearm and left lower leg and crush syndrome. Emergency fasciotomy was per- formed. On the day after admission, swelling and tightness of the left gluteal thigh became apparent, and intra- compartmental pressures were elevated, which led to an additional diagnosis of these compartment syndromes. A fasciotomy was performed, the gluteal skin incision was made according to the Kocher–Langenbeck approach (one of the posterior approaches for hip fractures), and the thigh was approached by extending the incision laterally. This surgical approach enabled the decompression of the compartments through a single incision and allowed for easier wound treatment and closure. Conclusion This case highlights the diagnosis and treatment of compartment syndrome in four anatomical regions. Extension of the Kocher–Langenbeck approach to the lateral thigh can be a useful surgical approach for ipsilateral gluteal and thigh compartment syndrome.

Title A name given to the resource Emergency department service utilisation of older patients with urgent conditions: a cross-sectional observational study Subject The topic of the resource Emergency department, Primary health care, Older patients, Urgent conditions, Non-emergent conditions, Burden of care, Healthcare utilization Description An account of the resource Abstract Background As with many countries worldwide, Singapore is experiencing a rapidly ageing population. Presentation of older persons for urgent but non-emergent conditions to the Emergency Department (ED) represents a growing group of patients utilising public healthcare emergency services and puts a strain on current ED resources. The medical conditions vary, and resources used has been poorly characterized. Methods This is a single-center cross-sectional observational study of patients aged 55 to 75 years old who visited the ED with urgent conditions, Patient Acuity Category Scale (PACS) P2 or P3, who were subsequently discharged. The patients visited a public hospital in Singapore on four randomly selected weekdays in April 2023. The utilisation of hospital resources and manpower was studied. A formulated criteria was used to determine the appropriate site of care, such as an Urgent Care Centre (UCC), Primary Care Providers (PCP) clinic or the ED. Results There were 235 eligible patients during the study period, with a mean age of 65.1 years of which a majority, 183 (77.9%) were allocated to patient acuity category scale P2. Most of the patients were walk-in patients with no referrals (169 (71.9%)). Based on the criteria, the majority of 187 (79.6%) of these patient may be safely managed at an outpatient setting; 71 (30.2%) patients by PCP, 116 (49.4%) patients may be managed by an UCC, with the remaining 48 (20.4%) requiring ED care. Conclusion Our findings indicate that a significant portion of discharged older ED adults with urgent but non- emergent conditions may be adequately managed at outpatient medical services that are appropriately resourced. More research is needed on healthcare initiatives aimed at developing the capabilities of outpatient medical services to manage mild to moderate acute conditions to optimise ED resource allocation.

Title A name given to the resource Airway breathing circulation dengue: a case of multifactorial shock due to major trauma and severe dengue infection Subject The topic of the resource Trauma, Dengue, Major trauma, Shock Description An account of the resource Abstract Background Dengue is the most common arboviral illness reported globally, endemic to most tropical and sub- tropical regions of the world. Dengue Shock Syndrome is a rare complication of severe Dengue infection resulting in haemorrhagic complications and refractory hypotension. We report on a case of severe dengue diagnosed in a patient with major trauma and illustrate some of the potential challenges and considerations in the clinical management of such cases. Case Presentation A 49-year-old female presented following a road trauma incident with multiple abdominal injuries requiring urgent laparotomy. Her recovery in Intensive Care Unit was complicated by the development of Dengue Shock Syndrome characterised by a falling haemoglobin and platelet count, multiorgan dysfunction and prolonged hospital stay. Conclusions Dengue Shock Syndrome may complicate fluid management and bleeding control in major trauma cases. Awareness of Dengue, particularly in endemic areas and returned travellers may help facilitate early diagnosis and management of complications.

Title A name given to the resource Red blood cell transfusion in a tertiary Haitian hospital’s emergency department: patient characteristics and availability challenges Subject The topic of the resource RBC transfusion, Transfusion practice, Emergency medicine, Haïti Description An account of the resource Abstract Background Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are essential for many patients admitted to emergency departments (ED). However, accessibility to red cell transfusions is often limited, especially in low-income countries such as Haiti. This article aims to determine the proportion of patients requiring emergency transfusion, transfused patients’ characteristics, as well as the response rate and timeliness of blood product delivery for requests made. Methods A retrospective study was conducted among all patients with RBC transfusion indications from January to June 2022 at the ED of Mirebalais Teaching Hospital. The parameters studied included transfusion indications, pre- transfusion hemoglobin levels, and delay from prescription to transfusion. Results During the study period, 3993 patients received treatment in the ED. The proportion of patients requiring RBCs was 7.69%, including 145 males and 117 females, with a median age of 43 [30–56] years. Only 21.7% of these patients received a transfusion. The average pre-transfusion hemoglobin level was 4.75±1.68 g/dL. The most common transfusion’s indications were infection/sepsis (36.74%), trauma (23.48%), and cancer (21.57%). The median time delay from prescription to transfusion was 2.37 [0.97–4.93] days. The study identified significant associations between RBC transfusion probability and patient factors like hemoglobin levels, patient disposition, urgency of RBC request, and length of stay. Conclusion RBC transfusion requests are frequent in the ED of Mirebalais Teaching Hospital, with a relatively high transfusion delay. Further studies on the relevance of RBC requests and ways to reduce delay from prescription to transfusion would be beneficial to improve this situation.

Title A name given to the resource IFEM model curriculum: emergency medicine learning outcomes for undergraduate medical education Subject The topic of the resource Emergency medicine, Medical school, Medical students, Undergraduate training Description An account of the resource Abstract Background The International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) published its model curriculum for medi- cal student education in emergency medicine in 2009. Because of the evolving principles of emergency medi- cine and medical education, driven by societal, professional, and educational developments, there was a need for an update on IFEM recommendations. The main objective of the update process was creating Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) and providing tier-based recommendations. Method A consensus methodology combining nominal group and modified Delphi methods was used. The nomi- nal group had 15 members representing eight countries in six regions. The process began with a review of the 2009 curriculum by IFEM Core Curriculum and Education Committee (CCEC) members, followed by a three-phase update process involving survey creation [The final survey document included 55 items in 4 sections, namely, participant & context information (16 items), intended learning outcomes (6 items), principles unique to emergency medicine (20 items), and content unique to emergency medicine (13 items)], participant selection from IFEM member countries and survey implementation, and data analysis to create the recommendations. Results Out of 112 invitees (CCEC members and IFEM member country nominees), 57 (50.9%) participants from 27 countries participated. Eighteen (31.6%) participants were from LMICs, while 39 (68.4%) were from HICs. Forty-four (77.2%) participants have been involved with medical students’ emergency medicine training for more than five years in their careers, and 56 (98.2%) have been involved with medical students’ training in the last five years. Thirty-five (61.4%) participants have completed a form of training in medical education. The exercise resulted in the formulation of tiered ILO recommendations. Tier 1 ILOs are recommended for all medical schools, Tier 2 ILOs are recommended for medical schools based on perceived local healthcare system needs and/or adequate resources, and Tier 3 ILOs should be considered for medical schools based on perceived local healthcare system needs and/or adequate resources.

Title A name given to the resource Successful management of a delayed presentation of traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudoaneurysm: a literature review based on a case report Subject The topic of the resource Transthoracic echocardiography, Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging, Aortic pseudoaneurysm, Interventional cardiology, Endovascular repair, Cardiac trauma Description An account of the resource Abstract Background Blunt traumatic aortic injury (BTAI) is the second leading cause of death due to traumas in young patients. The primary presentation might be chest or interscapular pain, difficulty in breathing, and, in severe cases, hypotension. Considering the rapid deterioration of these patients’ clinical conditions, prompt diagnosis and treat- ment initiation are crucial. In these injuries, the most involved parts of the aorta are the isthmus (distal to the left sub- clavian artery) and the descending part in the thorax. Therefore, the main diagnostic strategies include transthoracic echocardiography, CT angiography, and endovascular diagnostic approaches. Case presentation The patient was a 19-year-old male presenting with the symptoms of chest pain, dyspnea, and extremities excruciat- ing pain after a car turnover. The initial evaluation showed no abnormal cardiovascular finding except bilateral hemo- thorax, addressed with chest tubes. Twelve hours later, when the patient was under observation for orthopedic sur- geries, his chest pain and dyspnea started, and TTE and CTA showed a grade three descending aneurysm of the aorta. The patient was treated immediately with an endovascular procedure of stent implantation. A delayed debranching surgery was also performed, which resulted in desirable outcomes and uneventful follow-up. Conclusion Although open thoracic surgery is the main and almost the only option for treating aneurysms of the aorta in hemodynamically unstable patients, the endovascular procedure has shown superior outcomes in selected patients with appropriate anatomy. Debranching surgery, which can be done simultaneously or with delay after the initial procedure, has proven protective against thromboembolic cerebral events. Clinical key point Patients with an aneurysm of the aorta should be transported to a medical center with a multidis- ciplinary team for an urgent evaluation and treatment. The initial resuscitation and diagnosis are challenging, consid- ering the fatal nature of these injuries, and the selection of the treatment is based on the patient’s clinical condition and evaluated anatomy in cardiovascular imaging.

Title A name given to the resource Do-not-attempt-resuscitation decision making: physicians’ recommendations differ from the GO-FAR score predictions Subject The topic of the resource DNR, IHCA, GO-FAR score, Physician decision-making Description An account of the resource Background and aim In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a major cause of mortality globally, and over 50% of the survivors will require institutional care as a result of poor neurological outcome. It is important that physicians discuss the likely outcome of resuscitation with patients and families during end-of-life discussions to help them with decisions about cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We aim to compare three consultants’ do-not-resuscitate (DNR) decisions with the GO-FAR score predictions of the probability of survival with good neurological outcomes following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Methods This is a retrospective study of all patients 18 years or older placed on a DNR order by a consensus of three consultants in a tertiary institution in the United Arab Emirates over 12 months. Patients’ socio-demographics and the GO-FAR variables were abstracted from the electronic medical records. We applied the GO-FAR score and the probability of survival with good neurological outcomes for each patient. Results A total of 788 patients received a DNR order, with a median age of 71 years and a majority being males and expatriates. The GO-FAR model categorized 441 (56%) of the patients as having a low or very low probability of survival and 347 (44%) as average or above. There were 219 patients with a primary diagnosis of cancer, of whom 148 (67.6%) were in the average and above-average probability groups. There were more In-hospital deaths among patients in the average and above-average probability of survival group compared with those with very low and low probability (243 (70%) versus 249 (56.5%) (P<0.0001)). The DNR patients with an average or above average chance of survival by GO-FAR score were more likely to be expatriates, oncology patients, and did not have sepsis. Conclusions The GO-FAR score provides a guide for joint decision-making on the possible outcomes of CPR in the event of IHCA. The physicians’ recommendation and the ultimate patient’s resuscitation choice may differ due to more complex contextual medico-social factors.

Title A name given to the resource “Iliacus muscle abscess as an unexpected cause of posterior hip pain in a healthy young adult female”: a case report Subject The topic of the resource Iliacus abscess, Iliopsoas abscess, Hip pain Description An account of the resource Abstract Background Iliacus muscle abscess is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition that can present with nonspecific symptoms, posing diagnostic challenges. This case report highlights the importance of considering iliopsoas abscess in patients presenting with fever and hip pain, especially in the absence of obvious risk factors or penetrating trauma. The novelty of this case lies in its atypical presentation mimicking a respiratory viral infection and musculoskeletal injury, impeding accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Case Presentation A previously healthy 21-year-old female who had a mechanical fall 3 weeks prior presented with fever, right hip pain, and respiratory symptoms, initially suggestive of a respiratory infection and musculoskeletal injury. However, initial investigations revealing a markedly high C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration prompted further computed tomography (CT) imaging of her abdomen and pelvis, which uncovered an iliopsoas abscess presumably stemming from antecedent trauma. Subsequent CT guided aspiration along with culture-sensitive antibiotics led to successful treatment and resolution of her symptoms. Conclusions This case emphasizes the importance of considering iliopsoas abscess as a possible differential, even in young patients without typical risk factors. Markedly elevated inflammatory markers such as CRP concentrations can serve as a vital indicator, directing attention towards the possibility of septicemia or the presence of an occult abscess, facilitating prompt imaging and accurate diagnosis.

Title A name given to the resource Comparing online and onsite simulation modules for improving knowledge and confidence in disaster preparedness among undergraduate medical students Subject The topic of the resource Simulation, Disaster preparedness, COVID-19 pandemic, Tabletop exercise Description An account of the resource Abstract Background Disaster preparedness is one of the critical strategies for effectively managing disasters and has been an area of high focus in the healthcare sector over the past few decades. The current Indian medical undergraduate curriculum does not describe any novel methods for disaster preparedness training. There is a need for a better understanding of novel teaching-learning methods and modes for administering disaster preparedness training among Indian medical students. Objectives Describe the undergraduate medical students’ baseline knowledge and confidence level of disaster preparedness. Compare undergraduate medical students’ knowledge scores and confidence levels on disaster preparedness after online and onsite delivery of the disaster preparedness module. Methods In this educational interventional study, 103 medical students were divided into two groups and subjected to an online or onsite session of the validated disaster preparedness module (based on the COVID-19 pandemic), encompassing a simulation-based tabletop exercise. Baseline testing was done for 52 participants in the online group and 51 in the onsite group of the study. Post-intervention, they were assessed with single-response type MCQs for knowledge and Likert scale-based questions for confidence scores. The pretest and posttest scores were collected, and the data were analysed using two-tailed t-tests for paired analysis of within-group (online group or onsite group) and heteroscedastic analysis of between-group datasets. Results One hundred and three participants completed the exercise—52 participants were from the online group, and 51 were from the onsite group. After the intervention, there was a statistically significant increase in knowledge and confidence in both online and onsite groups. There is, however, no significant difference in the ‘percentage change’ in ‘knowledge’ or ‘confidence’ between the groups.

Title A name given to the resource Mortality and morbidity associated with new onset acute kidney injury in critically ill COVID-19 infection patients Subject The topic of the resource Acute renal injury, Covid-19, Dialysis, Chronic renal failure, Mortality Description An account of the resource Background The recent global pandemic due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 resulted in a high rate of multi-organ failure and mortality in a large patient population across the world. As such, a possible correlation between acute kidney injury (AKI) and increased mortality rate in these patients has been suggested in literature. Methods This is a two-year retrospective study of critically ill adult patients infected with COVID-19 that were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) on ventilatory support. Two groups of patients were identified in this study, those who were directly admitted to the ICU or those who were initially admitted to the Medical Floor and were later transferred to the ICU due to either worsening respiratory status or change in their hemodynamic conditions. Within each group, three subgroups were created based on the status of AKI, namely, those who did not develop AKI, those who developed AKI, and those who with previous history of dialysis dependent AKI. Results The AKI subgroup had the highest mortality rate in the ICU and Floor patients. Of note, those patients who were directly admitted to the Floor and were later transferred to the ICU for worsening conditions also experienced a higher mortality rate if they had developed AKI during their course of hospital stay. Conclusions This study identified a statistically significant higher mortality in patients who developed AKI than those who did not develop AKI among critically ill patients.
