A potentially lifesaving error: unintentional high-dose adrenaline administration in anaphylaxis-induced cardiac arrest; a case
report
Abstract
Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a crucial skill for emergency medical services. As high-risk-low-
frequency events pose an immense mental load to providers, concepts of crew resource management, non-technical
skills and…

The wolf in sheep’s clothing: vasovagal syncope in acute aortic dissection
Abstract
Background The presentation of acute aortic dissection can pose a challenge for emergency physicians, as it may
occur without pain. Atypical presentations can lead to significant delays in diagnosis and increased mortality rates.
