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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Neuraxial anesthesia for non-neurological
emergency surgery in a patient with acute
ischemic stroke: a case report
Abstract
Background The recent guidelines recommend delaying elective non-neurological surgery after an index stroke,
but there is a lack of consensus regarding emergency surgery in patients with a recent stroke. Impaired cerebral
autoregulation…

pseudoaneurysm following dog bites: a case
report and review of literature
Abstract
Background Extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition that can be caused
either by penetrating or blunt trauma, including dog bites, which is an uncommon occurrence. Together with the
