Utility of pelvic examination in assessing women with bleeding in early pregnancy: a multicenter Canadian emergency department study
Abstract
Background Bleeding in early pregnancy is a common emergency department (ED) presentation. Although
variability in approaches has been demonstrated, research is relatively uncommon on practices and outcomes. This
study investigated the…

Extended reality training for mass casualty incidents: a systematic review on effectiveness and experience of medical first responders
Abstract
Introduction Mass casualty incidents (MCI) are unforeseeable and complex events that occur worldwide, therefore
enhancing the training that medical first responders (MFRs) receive is fundamental to strengthening disaster
preparedness and…

Diagnostic laparoscopy with indocyanine green fluorescence test for the evaluation of intestinal perfusion in abdominal blunt injury: a case report
Abstract
Background The indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence test has become a standard test in surgical procedures,
facilitating the assessment of blood perfusion in real-time. While its utility in emergency surgeries for evaluating
anastomotic…

Safety of adenosine for pediatric tachyarrhythmia treatment in the emergency department: a multi-hospital 10-year cross- sectional study
Abstract
Background Supraventricular tachycardia is the most common dysrhythmia in children. Initial vagal maneuvers are
successful less than half of the time. Adenosine, a potent AV nodal blocker with a short half-life, is recommended as
first…

U‐shaped correlation of lymphocyte count with all‐cause hospital mortality in sepsis and septic shock patients: a MIMIC‐IV and eICU‐CRD database study
Abstract
Background In sepsis, the relationship between lymphocyte counts and patient outcomes is complex. Lymphocyto-
penia and lymphocytosis significantly influence survival, illustrating the dual functionality of lymphocytes in respond-

Incidence, characteristics, and prehospital outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Qatar: a nationwide gender-based investigation
Abstract
Background Research on incidence and characteristics of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in the Middle East
is limited. We assessed the incidence, prehospital characteristics, and outcomes of OHCA in Qatar, a Middle Eastern
country.…

Dabigatran accumulation in acute kidney injury: is more better than less to prevent bleeding? A case report
Abstract
Dabigatran is an oral anticoagulant that is mainly renally excreted. Despite its efficacy in preventing
thromboembolic events, concerns arise regarding bleeding complications in patients with acute kidney injury.
Idarucizumab is its…

Catecholamine concentration as a predictor of mortality in emergency surgical patients
Abstract
Background Trauma and emergency surgery are major causes of morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study
was to determine whether serum levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine are associated with aging and mortality.
