Complication management in percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy: a case of tracheal needle sheath retrieval
Abstract
Background Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a widely performed procedure in intensive care
units (ICUs) for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. Although generally safe, PDT carries risks of
complications,…

Comprehensive management evaluation
of anaphylactic shock in dental clinics across
developing countries
Abstract
Anaphylaxis shock is defined as a sudden, severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening and typically occurs
within minutes to a few hours following exposure to a triggering substance. While anaphylaxis shock can be a
rare side…

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…

Continuous quality improvement for prehospital STEMI improved triage rates and achievement of gold standard<90‐min EMS‐to‐balloon time
Abstract
Background ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a type of myocardial infarction caused by a buildup
of plaque or clot in the coronary arteries. There are approximately 750,000 STEMI cases each year in the United States.

Critical revisits after discharge from the emergency department
Abstract
Aims Emergency department (ED) revisits within 72 h is a standard quality measure for emergency care but most
revisits are managed and discharged. However, a sub-group of revisits are due to clinical deterioration resulting in
admissions…

Developing a conceptual framework
to facilitate inter-organizational partnership
in disasters and public health emergencies
Abstract
Introduction Disasters and public health emergencies can overwhelm healthcare systems, requiring rapid increase
in capacity, inter-agency collaboration, and the quick deployment of emergency medical teams. An effective
response to these…

Development of an emergency department triage tool to predict admission or discharge for older adults
Abstract
Background Older adults present to Emergency Departments (ED) with complex conditions, requiring triage models
that support effective disposition decisions. While existing models perform well in the general population, they
often fall…

Diagnostic challenges in pulmonary lymphomatous spread mimicking ARDS in an AIDS patient: a case report
Abstract
Background Immunocompromised individuals, particularly those with AIDS, are at increased risk of developing
lymphoproliferative tumours and opportunistic infections. Radiologic findings alone may not always distinguish
between these…

Disposition of emergency department patients presenting with angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitor-induced
angioedema
Abstract
Background Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) are the most common cause of drug-induced
angioedema in the United States. Our primary objective was to provide descriptive evidence regarding emergency
department (ED)…
