Special care services delivery at disaster
scenes: a systematic review
Abstract
Background Disasters create strain on health systems and require significant preparedness to reduce mortality
and morbidity. Special care services; e.g. Advanced Life Support, critical care interventions (intubation; vasopressor
therapy)…

Traumatic spigelian hernia in an adolescent
following a blunt abdominal trauma: a rare
case report and literature review
Abstract
Introduction spigelian hernias are rare anterior abdominal wall hernias, accounting for less than 2% of all hernias.
Traumatic spigelian hernias are exceptionally rare and typically result from blunt abdominal trauma.
Case presentation We…

Complicated diaphragmatic hernia post laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication: a case report
Abstract
Background The definition of gastroesophageal reflux disease is gastroesophageal reflux with associated symptoms
or complications. Because parents or guardians perceive the disease’s symptoms differently, it is difficult to determine
how…

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…

Unusual presentation of complicated
relapsing fever with spontaneous
hemoperitoneum mimicking surgical acute
abdomen: a case report
Abstract
Background: Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is a prevalent disease in Ethiopia, affecting malnourished and
impoverished populations. Historically fatal, mortality has decreased to less than 5% with antibiotics. Symptoms
include high…

Conductive heat loss in simulated outdoor settings: a preliminary experimental human study
Abstract
Background Little is known about the nature and magnitude of conductive heat loss in outdoor environments.
Although manikin studies provide reproducible and consistent data, they may not fully reflect all aspects of human
physiological…

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…

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation-inducedn consciousness in an elderly patient: a case report in the prehospital setting
Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) aims to limit hypoxic injury by providing oxygen to brain and heart tissues
during cardiac arrest. There has been an increase in reports of patients exhibiting signs such as eye opening, limb
movement,…

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma – an
uncommon cause of acute neurologic deficit
in the emergency department: a case report
Abstract
Background We present here an uncommon case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) likely secondary
to antiplatelet use. Its early recognition in the Emergency Department (ED) proves to be a challenge as presentation
mimics more…
