The association between the severity of out- of-hospital cardiac arrest and the effectiveness of target temperature management: a retrospective study based on prediction models
Abstract
Aim This study aimed to develop prediction models and conduct risk stratifications for patients with out-of-
hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to identify patients who could benefit from targeted temperature management
(TTM) at…

The association of early antibiotic exposure with subsequent development of late-onset sepsis in preterm infants: a systematic review
and meta-analysis studies
Abstract
Background Early antibiotic exposure in preterm infants may disrupt gut microbiome development, affecting
health. However, its link to late-onset sepsis (LOS) remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to clarify the association

The effect of music therapy on treating patients pain and anxiety in emergency department: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract
Background Music therapy (MT) is a recognized modality for pain and anxiety reduction. Although its efficacy has
been demonstrated in various clinical settings, its application in emergency departments (ED) remains controversial.

The pit crew card game: a novel gamification exercise to improve EMS performance in critical care scenarios
Abstract
Background Gamification can be defined as the use of game design elements in non-game contexts, in this case,
education. As such, gamification seeks to augment the interactive approach of adult learning theory which promotes
ongoing…

The utility of computed tomography-derived inferior vena cava parameters in predicting outcomes in patients with active bleeding undergoing transarterial embolization
Abstract
Background The inferior vena cava (IVC) parameters are associated with prognostic significance in emergency
patients, but there is a lack of data using this parameter in patients with active bleeding.
Objectives To investigate the…

Trauma outcomes in elderly patients referring to the emergency department via the rapid emergency medicine score, injury severity
score, and geriatric trauma outcome score indices
Abstract
Background Accurate early risk stratification of older trauma patients is essential for appropriate triage and resource
allocation. We compared the discriminatory performance of three prognostic scores—Rapid Emergency Medicine
Score…

Traumatic facial arteriovenous fistula: a rare case report and literature review
Abstract
The formation of facial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) directly between the facial artery and vein after trauma is very
rare. Compared with intracranial AVF, understanding of this condition is limited. This paper reported the case of
