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…

A stitch in time saves nine! A case report of spontaneous duodenal perforation in advanced pancreatic cancer
Acute abdomen is a common presentation in the emergency department, requiring prompt evaluation, diagnosis,
and treatment. This case report highlights how simple diagnostic tools can facilitate early detection of abdominal
pain caused by duodenal…

Detection of obvious death by clinically trained emergency medical dispatchers in a criteria-based dispatch system
Background More than a third of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the European Union do not benefit from
cardiopulmonary resuscitation by emergency medical services (EMS), most often because the patient shows signs
of obvious death. To preserve…

Quantitative effects of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation devices in rural American emergency medical services: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract
Background Emergency medical service agencies increasingly utilize medical devices which perform external chest
compressions during cardiac arrest. Due to the unique staffing and budget considerations of the rural emergency
medical…

Stem cell therapies and glioma stem cells in glioblastoma: a systematic review of current challenges and research directions
Abstract
Background Glioblastoma is the most aggressive tumor of glial origin and the most common, as established by the
World Health Organization. GBM has been one of the most intractable tumors with minimal progress in prognosis
despite decades…

Clinical characteristics and factors influencing hospitalization in pediatric patients with foreign body aspiration: a comprehensive analysis in an emergency department
Abstract
Background Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in children is a potentially life-threatening event, especially in those
under 3 years of age. This study aimed to identify clinical factors associated with hospitalization in pediatric FBA and
to…

Neuro-ophthalmology and migraine: visual aura and its neural basis
Abstract
Background Migraine, a chronic neurological condition often accompanied by visual aura, which affects 15–33%
of migraineurs, often presents as transient visual disturbances such as scintillating scotoma and teichopsia. These
symptoms…

Frequent callers vs. frequent users – a scoping review of frequent contacts to the emergency medical services
Abstract
Background A significant limitation in the literature on frequent callers and frequent users of prehospital Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) is the lack of consistent and thus, comparable definitions, as well as inconsistent use…

Cardiac arrest in children: emerging trends in resuscitation and outcomes in low-resource pediatric emergency departments
Pediatric cardiac arrest is a rare but life-threatening condition that often arises from respiratory failure. While
survival rates in pediatric emergency settings are generally low, outcomes are significantly worse in low-resource
environments.…
