(IF 6.2) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Rachel M. Skains MD MSPH, Jennifer L. Koehl PharmD BCPS, Amer Aldeen MD, Christopher R. Carpenter MD MSc, Cameron J. Gettel MD MHS, Elizabeth M. Goldberg MD ScM, Ula Hwang MD MPH, Keith E. Kocher MD MPH, Lauren T. Southerland MD MPH, Pawan Goyal MD, Carl T. Berdahl MD MS, Arjun K. Venkatesh MD MBA, Michelle P. Lin MD MPH
Half of emergency department (ED) patients aged 65 years and older are discharged with new prescriptions. Potentially inappropriate prescriptions contribute to adverse drug events. Our objective was to develop an evidence- and consensus-based list of high-risk prescriptions to avoid among older ED patients. We performed a modified, 3-round Delphi process that included 10 ED physician experts in geriatrics

Sleep apnea, the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and potential benefits of continuous positive airway pressure therapy: A nationwide study Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Pelpika Qayoumi, Ruben Coronel, Fredrik Folke, Anojhaan Arulmurugananthavadivel, Saaima Parveen, Harman Yonis, Amani Meaidi, Morten Lamberts, Morten Schou, Christian Torp-Pedersen, Gunnar Hilmar Gislason, Talip E. Eroglu
Patients with sleep apnea (SA) are at increased cardiovascular risk. However, little is known about the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in patients with SA. Therefore, we studied the relation between SA patients who did and did not receive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy with OHCA in the general population. Using nationwide databases, we conducted a nested case-control

The diagnostic accuracy of a shock advisory algorithm in automated external defibrillators in the presence of real-world artifacts Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Mengqi Gao, Chenguang Liu, Stacy Gehman, Kevin Burgett, Edward Kompare, Barbara Fink, Dawn B. Jorgenson
The current standards for shock advisory algorithms in AEDs require performance testing on artifact-free ECGs. However, AED analysis in the real world is more challenging due to potential artifacts from various sources (e.g., patient handling, and electromagnetic interference). This retrospective data analysis reports the real-world performance and behavior of a shock advisory algorithm used in three

Foreign body airway obstruction resulting in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Denmark – Incidence, survival and interventions Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-09 Signe Amalie Wolthers, Mathias Geldermann Holgersen, Josefine Tangen Jensen, Mikkel Porsborg Andersen, Stig Nikolaj Fasmer Blomberg, Søren Mikkelsen, Helle Collatz Christensen, Theo Walther Jensen
Foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) stands as an important contributor to accidental fatalities, yet prompt bystander interventions have been shown to improve survival. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, interventions, and survival outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) related to FBAO in comparison to patients with non-FBAO OHCA. In this population-based cohort

The rise of ACS and its importance World J. Emerg. Surg. (IF 8.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Brian WCA Tian
Acute care surgery [ACS] as a model of care and a focused area of specialisation is gaining traction globally [1,2,3]. ACS is seen as a natural evolution of the specialty of trauma. If anything, this restructuring is desperately needed. In the ideal ACS system, I propose that surgeons will be: 1) Exposed to a wide variety of operative procedures and techniques, including the latest laparoscopic and

Trends in presumed drug overdose out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in San Francisco, 2015–2023 Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-06 Ralph C. Wang, Juan Carlos C. Montoy, Robert M. Rodriguez, James J. Menegazzi, Jeremy Lacocque, David G. Dillon
Estimates of the prevalence of drug-related out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary, ranging from 1.8% to 10.0% of medical OHCA. However, studies conducted prior to the recent wave of fentanyl deaths likely underestimate the current prevalence of drug-related OHCA. We evaluated recent trends in drug-related OHCA, hypothesizing that the proportion of presumed drug-related OHCA treated by emergency

Prehospital identification of futile resuscitation efforts (defined as a predicted probability of survival lower than 1%) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may reduce unnecessary transport. Reliable prediction variables for OHCA 'termination of resuscitation' (TOR) rules are needed to guide treatment decisions. The Universal TOR rule uses only three variables (Absence of Prehospital ROSC, Event

The efficient management of skin wounds for rapid and scarless healing represents a major clinical unmet need. Nonhealing skin wounds and undesired scar formation impair quality of life and result in high healthcare expenditure worldwide. The skin-colonizing microbiota contributes to maintaining an intact skin barrier in homeostasis, but it also participates in the pathogenesis of many skin disorders

Association of coronary angiography with ST-elevation and no ST-elevation in patients with refractory ventricular fibrillation – A substudy of the DOuble SEquential External Defibrillation for Refractory Ventricular Fibrillation (DOSE-VF randomized control trial) Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-04 Saswata Deb, Ian Drennan, Linda Turner, Sheldon Cheskes
Refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (rVF/pVT) during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with poor survival. Double sequential defibrillation (DSED) and vector change (VC) improved survival for rVF/pVT in the DOSE-VF RCT. However, the role of angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (angiography/PCI) during the trial is unknown. To determine

Prodromal complaints and 30-day survival after emergency medical services-witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 Mia Bang Larsen, Emil Blom-Hanssen, Filip Gnesin, Kristian Hay Kragholm, Thomas Lass Klitgaard, Helle Collatz Christensen, Freddy Lippert, Fredrik Folke, Christian Torp-Pedersen, Kristian Bundgaard Ringgren
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a frequent and lethal condition with a yearly incidence of approximately 5000 in Denmark. Thirty-day survival is associated with the patient’s prodromal complaints prior to cardiac arrest. This paper examines the odds of 30-day survival dependent on the reported prodromal complaints among OHCAs witnessed by the emergency medical services (EMS). EMS-witnessed

Survival and neurobehavioral outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in pediatric patients with pre-existing morbidity: An analysis of the THAPCA out-of-hospital arrest data Resuscitation (IF 6.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Sierra N. Wormington, Kathryn Best, Dmitry Tumin, Xilong Li, Kaley Desher, Ravi R. Thiagarajan, Lakshmi Raman
Pre-arrest morbidity in adults who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with increased mortality and poorer neurologic outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine if a similar association is seen in pediatric patients. We performed a secondary analysis of data from the Therapeutic Hypothermia after Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Out-of-Hospital trial. Study sites included
