Incidence has been estimated from 1 in 10 000 to 1 in 200 000 live births. This case report describes the case of a young man who was asymptomatic until his presentation in acute respiratory failure at the age of 36&nbsp;years. This case is reported to highlight the importance of considering this treatable illness as a potential cause of collapse and respiratory failure in adults presenting to emergency departments.

Although initially treated as encephalitis, neuroimaging revealed a large craniopharyngioma with acute hydrocephalus and bilateral frontal lobe compression. She was transferred immediately to the local neurosurgical unit and underwent reservoir drainage of the cystic tumour within 24&nbsp;h. This resulted in immediate symptomatic resolution. This case highlights the importance of early cerebral imaging in the paediatric patient with diagnostic uncertainty and suggests a high index of suspicion for space-occupying lesions in children, despite perceived duration of symptoms.

Growing evidence suggests that tracheal intubation is not the optimal method of airway management by paramedics and may be detrimental to patient outcomes. There is also evidence that the current initial training of 25 intubations performed in-hospital is inadequate, and that the lack of ongoing intubation practice may compound this further. Supraglottic airway devices (eg, laryngeal mask airway), which were not available when extended training and paramedic intubation was first introduced, are now in use in many ambulance services and are a suitable alternative prehospital airway device for paramedics.

The purpose of this report was to assess the utility of ultrasonography to image epiglottal and pre-epiglottal oedema. Bedside emergency department ultrasonography could be a valuable tool to detect pathological enlargement of the epiglottis. Ultrasonography may be used in unstable patients for diagnosing epiglottitis because it is cheap, rapid, non-invasive and does not aggravate the patient's symptoms.

The standard Trust satisfaction survey was modified for use with young patients, and this had the effect of increasing the response rate from this patient group by 8%, and increasing the percentage of young patients aged 5&ndash;10&nbsp;years completing the survey themselves by 29%. The vast majority of parents/guardians were happy for the Trust to survey their child, but the age of the child affected to whom they would like the survey sent. The Trust subsequently altered patient survey practice to write to parents/guardians of patients aged &lt;12&nbsp;years and directly to all patients aged &ge;12&nbsp;years.

This would suggest that, compared with previous out-of-hours practice, NHS 24 favours an ED outcome. The results indicate a large proportion of primary care patients are being handled inappropriately and uneconomically in the ED setting. There is a need for ongoing improvement of the telephone triage service provided by NHS 24.

Much of the research was conducted outside the UK, which raises questions about its relevance to the NHS. Care of traumatic brain injuries in the UK is already hampered by the inadequate capacity of regional neurosurgical units to meet demand, and transferring more patients would be likely to exacerbate this. Increasing the number of transfers could also worsen inequalities of access for other groups, such as elective patients, particularly in areas where facilities are most stretched.

Clonal erythrocytosis, which is the diagnostic feature of polycythemia vera (PV), is almost always associated with a JAK2 mutation (JAK2V617F or exon 12). Therefore, in a patient with acquired erythrocytosis, it is reasonable to begin the diagnostic work-up with JAK2 mutation analysis to distinguish PV from secondary erythrocytosis. The clinical course of PV is marked by a high incidence of thrombotic complications that represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients.

However, the assessment of the transfer process requires high-quality data from various sources. Prospective studies and studies based on single-centre trauma registries may fail to capture an appropriate width and depth of data. Thus the creation of inclusive regional and national trauma registries that receive information from all of the services within a trauma system is a prerequisite for high quality inter-hospital transfer studies in the future.

We find this useful for both induction and regular training of pre-hospital trauma care providers.

Coronary angiography and angioplasty may be required to restore an effective circulation, but this must be performed whilst chest compressions are continued. The LUCAS chest compression device is suitable for this purpose. So far there are no reports on the effect of this device on coronary circulation in humans. We monitored the coronary perfusion pressure assessed invasively as the difference between the diastolic pressures at the coronary ostium and right atrium, and compared these pressures with coronary flow graded using the TIMI scale in 6 patients. In 4 out of 6 we found a satisfactory coronary artery perfusion pressure and TIMI grade 3 flow (normal) on coronary an...

Large data sets have demonstrated the advantages of this technique in a variety of clinical conditions. One of them, the Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest Study Group, conducted a prospective randomized study that showed that the induction of hypothermia in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation had improved neurological outcome and mortality at 6 months. Despite these very encouraging results, the optimal method of achieving rapid induction of TH and the best way to maintain the temperature at target level remains unknown. From old-fashioned “ice packs” to newer intelligent computer-controlling devices that reduce body temperature, clinicians are confron...

Survival rates average 10%, but this varies a lot between different sites, and depends on factors like the quality and effectiveness of the local chain of survival. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved only in approximately 1/3 of all arrested patients where Advanced Life Support (ALS) has been initiated. This may be due to too long response times, absence of bystander CPR, long time to first defibrillation or bad quality ALS with long pauses without sufficient vital circulation.
