Characteristics and outcomes of emergency department patients across health care systems: an international multicenter cohort study
Abstract
Background A wide variation of emergency medical system configurations across countries has limited the value
of comparison of quality and performance measures in the past. Furthermore, lack of quantitative data on EDs pre-
vents…

Aortoesophageal fistula with hemorrhagic shock successfully treated with resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta
Abstract
Background Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Despite diagnostic
and therapeutic advances, the mortality rate in AEF patients remains high because of its fulminant course, even with
maximal…
