Many emergency departments have implemented sepsis protocols since the 2001 publication of results from the early goal-directed therapy trial, which showed early targeted resuscitation lowers mortality. As part of an attempt to improve clinical and operational outcomes for emergency departments across British Columbia, we reviewed sepsis management literature and considered sepsis protocol implementation in the province’s emergency departments. During the literature review we found that many observational studies confirmed an association between implementation of emergency sepsis protocols and decreased mortality...

AIM: Hypothermia poses a threat to the health and lives of newborns. Therefore, it is essential to identify the factors that influence neonatal hypothermia and provide targeted intervention suggestions for clinical practice to reduce its occurrence. METHODS: We conducted a literature search to identify factors influencing neonatal hypothermia and performed a meta-analysis to determine the prevalence of neonatal hypothermia and its associated factors. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of cohort and case-control studies, while the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) was used to evaluate the quality of cross-sectional studies...

The timely restoration of lost blood in hemorrhaging patients with trauma, especially those who are hemodynamically unstable, is of utmost importance. While intravenous access has traditionally been considered the primary method for vascular access, intraosseous (IO) access is gaining popularity as an alternative for patients with unsuccessful attempts. Previous studies have highlighted the higher success rate and easier training process associated with IO access compared with peripheral intravenous (PIV) and central intravenous access...

Adrenal hemorrhage (AH) is an uncommon and potentially disastrous affliction that carries an accepted mortality risk of 15%. Variable symptomatology can cause a diagnostic dilemma and may be missed. We present 2 cases of right-sided AH; both cases were initially presumed to be renal colic. Case 1 was an 86-year-old gentleman, presenting with right flank pain found to have a right-sided atraumatic AH. He presented with hemorrhagic shock, requiring angioembolization of the bleeding vessel. Case 2 was a 62-year-old gentleman who presented with right flank pain and was found to have a right-sided atraumatic AH...

Recently, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) had been introduced as an innovative procedure for severe hemorrhage in the abdomen or pelvis. We aimed to investigate risk factors associated with mortality after REBOA and construct a model for predicting mortality. This multicenter retrospective study collected data from 251 patients admitted at five regional trauma centers across South Korea from 2015 to 2022. The indications for REBOA included patients experiencing hypovolemic shock due to hemorrhage in the abdomen, pelvis, or lower extremities, and those who were non-responders (systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 90 mmHg) to initial fluid treatment...

A 46-year-old man with neck pain and impaired physical mobility called for emergency medical services. The patient was able to communicate with the emergency medical team upon their arrival. However, he went into cardiopulmonary arrest 5 minutes later. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was immediately performed, and the patient was admitted to our hospital with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of E1V1M1. His respiratory rate was 5 breaths/minute and his partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2 ) was 127 mmHg, necessitating intubation and ventilation...

Severe head trauma, with or without polytrauma, subarachnoid haemorrhage due to aneurysm rupture, is an unexpected tragedy for patients and their families. These accidents are likely to result in extremely serious neurological damage, with many of the patients under our care facing a life-threatening prognosis. To protect the brain, one solution is to put the patient into a deep sleep during the so-called "acute" phase, making it impossible to assess the repercussions of the initial injuries at the time: this is what we call "waiting resuscitation"...

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of pulmonary visceral subpleural hematoma during care of post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation including chest compressions and anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies is extremely rare. Also, there are few reports of treatment of visceral subpleural hematoma, most of which are treated by lung resection. Here we describe a rare case that pulmonary visceral subpleural hematoma arose during post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation care and was treated by hematoma evacuation...
