Factors affecting disaster preparedness
in prehospital emergency dispatch centers:
mapping of expert perspectives
Abstract
Background and Objectives Prehospital emergency dispatch centers play a pivotal role in disaster response, yet
their preparedness is often inadequate, particularly in low-resource settings such as Iran. This study aimed to explore
the…

Task-shifting and system readiness: a narrative review of strategies for pediatric emergency care in low-resource settings
Abstract
Background In various low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), non-specialist healthcare providers (HCPs), such
as general practitioners, nurses, and community health workers (CHWs), often manage acute pediatric emergencies.

The association between anion gap and prognosis in patients myocardial
infarction with congestive heart failure: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database
Abstract
Background Elevated serum anion gap at hospital admission is often linked to a poor prognosis in critically ill
patients, but there is insufficient data on this correlation in patients with acute myocardial infarction accompanied
by heart…

Association between prehospital oxygen
saturation and outcomes in hypotensive
traumatic brain injury patients in Asia (Pan-
Asian Trauma Outcomes Study (PATOS))
Abstract
Background It has been shown that blood pressure (BP) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) influence the
outcomes in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients. This study aims to determine the association between prehospital
SpO2 and…

Effectiveness of mobile stroke units
in reducing time to thrombolysis in acute
ischemic stroke: a scoping review
Abstract
Background Timely thrombolysis within the golden hour (≤60 min from onset) is critical for minimizing disability in
acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Mobile stroke units (MSUs) enable prehospital thrombolysis, with effectiveness varying
by…

Risk factors of peri-intubation cardiac arrest
in critically ill pediatric patients presenting
to the emergency department of a low-
middle-income country: a case-control study
Abstract
Background Peri-intubation cardiac arrest is defined as cardiac arrest that occurs within 20 min of airway
management. Incidence in the pediatric population ranges from 0.7% to 1.7%. Identifying pre-intubation risk factors
may improve…
