Rapid testicular salvage in the emergency department using point of care ultrasound [POCUS]
Abstract
Background Testicular torsion is a time-sensitive urological emergency characterized by twisting of the spermatic
cord, leading to ischaemia and, if untreated, necrosis. Young males under 25 are at the highest risk due to…

Rebound warfarin toxicity presenting
with spontaneous hemopericardium
in cardiac tamponade: a case report
Abstract
Background The spontaneous hemopericardium due to warfarin toxicity is uncommon but can be fatal if it leads to
cardiac tamponade and timely interventions are not administered.
Case presentation An 80-year-old male with a medical history…

Recurrent Wunderlich syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report
Abstract
Background Wunderlich syndrome (WS) is a rare condition characterized by spontaneous renal hemorrhage in the
absence of obvious trauma or iatrogenic injury. Given that most WS cases are life-threatening and require prompt
intervention,…

Remifentanil use in critically Ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation is associated with increased delirium‐free days: a retrospective study
Abstract
Intraoperative remifentanil reduces postoperative delirium incidence, unlike other opioids; however, its efficacy
in medical emergencies with organ failure is unknown. We hypothesized that remifentanil use in nonoperative inten-
sive…

Resuscitation outcomes and associated factors among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients at the National Referral Hospital, Bhutan: a prospective cohort study
Abstract
Background Presentation to the Emergency Department (ED) following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is not
uncommon, and resuscitation outcomes are generally poor. In a country like Bhutan, where emergency medicine is
still…

Retrospective analysis of trauma patients transported by dispatch monitored type B ambulances to Dhulikhel Hospital, Kavre,
Nepal, 2019–2023
Abstract
Background Timely emergency medical services (EMS) are particularly important among trauma patients, as
inefficient EMS systems can result in potentially avoidable death before reaching a hospital. The Dhulikhel Hospital
Dispatch Center…

of the transformative role of artificial
intelligence in diagnosis, triage, and patient
management
Abstract
Background The deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the healthcare domain has witnessed

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…
