A periscope-based, 3D printed indirect laryngoscope for resource limited settings: a non-randomized observational manikin trial
Abstract
Background In the United States and other resource-rich settings, video laryngoscopy is often favored for
emergency intubation over direct laryngoscopy due to ease of use and improved performance in difficult airways.

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis associated
with a sodium-glucose co transporter 2
inhibitor use in a trauma patient: a case report
Abstract
Background Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), like empagliflozin, are widely prescribed for
managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, they carry a rare but serious risk: euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis
(EDKA). EDKA’s…

Determining the need for stabilising therapy
of cervical spine injuries on CT: towards
standardising decision-making in the
emergency department
Abstract
Background In clinical practice, currently no standardised approach exists to determine which patients with cervical
spine injury (CSI) on CT scan should receive continued cervical spine immobilisation and a neurosurgeon is…

Review of current knowledge regarding usage of pre-hospital heart rate variability and complexity in triage and added value for predicting the need for life-saving interventions
Abstract
Background & aim Analysis of heart rate variability metrics has shown added accuracy in pre-hospital trauma triage.
These metrics include heart rate variability (HRV), meaning oscillations in the time interval between heartbeats,…

When methylene blue fails: a case of methemoglobinemia induced
by azoxystrobin and propiconazole managed by exchange transfusion
Abstract
Background Methemoglobinemia is a potentially life-threatening condition resulting from the oxidation of
hemoglobin’s iron moiety from ferrous (Fe2+) to ferric (Fe3+). Clinical features include cyanosis unresponsive to oxygen
therapy,…

Delayed diagnosis of aortic dissection: the overlooked clues on chest X-ray
Abstract
Background Acute aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening vascular emergency requiring immediate intervention,
with mortality rates increasing by 1–2% per hour post-onset. The pathophysiology involves an intimal tear that
permits…
