Conservative management of spontaneous
thoracolumbar epidural hematoma: a case
report
Abstract
Background Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is an exceedingly rare clinical entity often associated
with neurological deficits, for which surgical intervention remains the mainstay of treatment. We report a case
successfully…

When subarachnoid hemorrhage mimics
acute coronary syndrome in out-of-hospital
cardiac arrest: a diagnostic challenge
Abstract
Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is most often due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but
less frequent causes like subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may mimic cardiac disease through ECG changes and
biomarker elevation,…

Vital signs as biomarkers of early clinical
deterioration in pediatric emergency
departments: physiology, interpretation,
and innovations: a narrative review
Abstract
Background Early recognition of pediatric deterioration is difficult because age-dependent physiology and
compensation mask early shock and safety risks. This narrative review compares vital-sign (VS) biomarkers (heart rate,
respiratory…

Survival after multiple in-hospital cardiac
arrests due to severe amitriptyline poisoning–
a case report
Abstract
Background Amitriptyline, a classic tricyclic antidepressant, can produce toxic effects ranging from mild
antimuscarinic symptoms to severe cardiotoxicity due to sodium channel blockade. In severe cases, toxicity may
rapidly progress to…

Seeing beyond the numbers: capnography as
a vital tool in pediatric emergency care
Abstract
Purpose End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring is a vital, noninvasive technique for assessing ventilation,
circulatory status, and predicting adverse events in pediatric emergency departments (EDs). This review aims to
synthesize…

Scaling emergency care capacity during
concurrent public health and humanitarian
crises: outcomes of WHO-ICRC basic
emergency care course implementation in the
Republic of Moldova
Abstract
Introduction The Republic of Moldova, an upper-middle-income nation in Eastern Europe, has encountered
overlapping public health and humanitarian challenges that have tested the resilience of its health system.

Association of Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature
with heat-related illness hospitalizations
in Japan: a time-stratified, case-crossover
study
Abstract
Background Heat-related illnesses are a serious public health concern and are exacerbated by global warming. Wet-
Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is widely used as a heat stress indicator, but its clinical impact remains unclear.…

Recurrent syncope with seizure-like features:
the role of emergency monitoring in revealing
intermittent AV block
Abstract
Background Recurrent syncope with seizure-like stiffening may mimic epilepsy or neurological disorders, and when
routine tests are repeatedly normal, intermittent arrhythmia can be easily overlooked.
Case presentation We report a case of…

Simulation-based education in an emergency
medicine clerkship in Qatar: impact
on academic performance and student
perceptions
Abstract
Background Simulation-based medical education (SBME) is increasingly used in emergency medicine (EM) training
to enhance clinical skills and decision-making. However, its impact on undergraduate clerkship performance and
student…
