Efect of age adjustment on two triage methods
Background: Most emergency departments rely on acuity assessment, triage, to recognize critically ill patients that
need urgent treatment, and to allocate resources according to need. The accuracy of commonly used triage instruments such as the…

Comparison of the outcomes of EMS vs. Non-EMS transport of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Southern Iran: a population-based study
Background: In the medical management of acute myocardial infarction, the transport of patients and primary
care provided by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics are efective in reducing the mortality and
disabilities. Therefore,…

Comparing the prehospital NEWS with in-hospital ESI in predicting 30-day severe outcomes in emergency patients
Background: In Iran, the emergency departments (EDs) have largely adopted the emergency severity index (ESI) to
prioritize the emergency patients, however emergency medical services (EMS) mainly triage the patients based on
the paramedics’…

Association between post-extubation upper airway obstruction symptoms and airway size measured by computed tomography: a single-center observational study
Background: Computed tomography (CT) is often performed to assess patients; however, little is known about
how airway size measured by CT scan imaging might infuence the occurrence of post-extubation upper airway
obstruction.
Methods: This study…

Timely intubation with early prediction of respiratory exacerbation in acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury
Background: Early routine intubation in motor-complete cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) above the C5 level is a
conventional protocol to prevent unexpected respiratory exacerbation (RE). However, in the context of recent
advances in…

The timing of administering aspirin and nitroglycerin in patients with STEMI ECG changes alter patient outcome
Background: Both chewed aspirin and sublingual nitroglycerin are fast acting medications and reach therapeutic
levels within a few minutes. Current guidelines for managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) do not recognize the
importance of the order…

Survival after traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Vietnam: a multicenter prospective cohort study
Background: Pre-hospital services are not well developed in Vietnam, especially the lack of a trauma system of
care. Thus, the prognosis of traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) might differ from that of other
countries. Although the…
