Domain validation of the CRASH prognostic model for predicting 14-day mortality among patients with traumatic brain injury with intracranial hemorrhage in a Thai emergency department
Abstract
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health concern, with intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) being
a common complication following injury. The CRASH prediction model plays a crucial role in clinical prognostication
and…

Early diagnosis and treatment of Ramsay Hunt syndrome: a case report
Abstract
Background Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS), a rare complication of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation, presents
with ipsilateral facial paralysis, ear pain, and vesicular rash. Early recognition is crucial for prompt treatment…

Early neurological wake‐up test in intubated patients with traumatic brain injury
Abstract
Background Daily wake-up has been implemented widely in intensive care units (ICU) and could improve
the patients’ prognosis. However, little is known about the benefit of early neurological wake-up test (ENWT)
in patients with acute…

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on early
features of carbon monoxide poisoning
focusing on neurological symptoms
Abstract
Background Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication due to suicide attempts or accidental exposure is a critical problem
in Korea. Patients with CO intoxication can experience various neurologic and systemic symptoms. Although some
of these…

Effectiveness of a structured triage system in improving timeliness of emergency care in a resource-limited rural hospital in Uganda
Abstract
Background Triage is essential for optimising resource allocation in emergency care, particularly in low- and middle-
income countries. Some triage tools, such as the Interagency Integrated Triage Tool (IITT), have been…

Effectiveness of mobile stroke units
in reducing time to thrombolysis in acute
ischemic stroke: a scoping review
Abstract
Background Timely thrombolysis within the golden hour (≤60 min from onset) is critical for minimizing disability in
acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Mobile stroke units (MSUs) enable prehospital thrombolysis, with effectiveness varying
by…

Emergency department crowding in the Netherlands; evaluation of a real-time ambulance diversion dashboard
Abstract
Background Emergency department (ED) crowding is a growing concern worldwide and associated with negative
effects. In 2013, 68% of Dutch ED-managers experienced crowding on several days of the week. This resulted into the
introduction in…

Emergency department point of care
ultrasound utility in diagnosing infective
endocarditis presenting as abdominal pain
with bilateral iliac occlusion
Abstract
Background Infective Endocarditis (IE) is a life threatening disease which is relatively rare especially in young healthy
adults, and patients can rapidly deteriorate due to valvular insufficiency; however diagnosis can be challenging in…

Emergency medical services utilization in acute stroke in Qatar - an observational cohort study
Abstract
Introduction Timely recanalization improves long-term outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (IS) patients, but most
patients present outside the therapeutic window. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) can reduce pre-hospital delay
and increase…
