The diagnostic accuracy of point‐of‐care ultrasound parameters for airway assessment in patients undergoing intubation in emergency department—an observational study
Background Endotracheal intubation is an essential resuscitative procedure in the emergency setting. Airway assess-
ment parameters such as the Mallampati classification are difficult to perform in an emergency setting. As point-
of-care ultrasound…

How many is enough? Measuring the number of FAST exams needed by emergency medicine trainees to reach competence
Abstract
Background For patients with blunt abdominal trauma, the Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma

An unsuspected extracranial internal carotid
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
possibility of no…

The MINUTES bundle for the initial 30 min management of undifferentiated circulatory shock: an expert opinion
Abstract
Acute circulatory shock is a life-threatening emergency requiring an efficient and timely management plan, which
varies according to shock etiology and pathophysiology. Specific guidelines have been developed for each type of
shock;…

Prediction of major adverse cardiac events in the emergency department using an artificial neural network with a systematic grid search
Background The aim of our research was to design and evaluate an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model using
a systemic grid search for the early prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among patients presenting
to the triage of an…

Shark fin ECG pattern in a patient with acute ascending aortic dissection
Abstract
The ‘shark-fin’ ECG-sign is a rare electrocardiographic pattern seen in ACS, typically associated with poor prognosis.
However, its manifestation in acute aortic syndromes remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a case of a
patient…

Diagnostic challenges between takotsubo cardiomyopathy and acute myocardial infarction—where is the emergency?: a literature review
Background Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is an emergency cardiovascular disease, with clinical and paraclinical
manifestations similar to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but it is characterized by reversible systolic dysfunction
of the left…

Awareness and knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
among the general public in West-Bank in Palestine
Abstract
Background Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular-related deaths, often occurring outside
hospitals in undiagnosed individuals. Our study aims to assess the baseline awareness and skills in performing CPR
among…

A case of convexity non‐aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by cerebral sinus thrombosis
Abstract
Background Convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) is an uncommon presentation of subarachnoid bleeding,
referring to bleeding more localized to the convexities of the brain. The diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombo-
sis (CVST)…
