Delaying the American Board of Emergency Medicine Qualifying Examination Is Associated With Poorer Performance / El Retraso en la Realizacion del Examen de Cualificación de la American Board of Emergency Medicine Se Asocia con un Peor Rendimiento
ConclusionsAfter accounting for innate ability using in‐training examination scores, delay taking the qualifying examination was associated with poorer performance. This effect was more pronounced if the delay was ≥2 years. Resumen ObjetivosEl paso inicial en la certificación por la American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) requiere aprobar un examen de cualificación (EC) de preguntas de elección múltiple. El EC se realiza habitualmente en el primer año tras la formación de la residencia. Este estudio se llevó a cabo para determinar si un retraso en la realización del EC está asociado con un peor rendimient...

Global Emergency Medicine: A Review of the Literature From 2013 / La Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias Global: Una Revisión de la Literatura de 2013
ConclusionsIn 2013, there were more emergency care in resource‐limited settings articles, while the number of disaster and humanitarian response articles decreased, when compared to the 2012 review. However, the distribution of articles selected for full review did not change significantly. As in prior years, the majority of articles focused on infectious diseases, as well as trauma and injury prevention. Resumen ObjetivosEl grupo Global Emergency Medicine Literature Review (GEMLR) lleva a cabo una búsqueda anual de revisión por pares y de la literatura gris relevante para la Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias (MUE) ...

Ultrasound Competency Assessment in Emergency Medicine Residency Programs / Evaluación de la Competencia en Ecografía en los Programas de Residencia de Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias
ConclusionsCurrently, a majority of EM residency programs assess resident competency in bedside US. However, there is significant variation in the methods of competency assessment. Resumen ObjetivosEn el modelo de práctica clínica de la Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias (MUE), la ecografía (Eco) a pie de cama se catalogó como una de las habilidades esenciales en procedimientos. Los hitos en MUE publicados por el Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education y la American Board of Emergency Medicine requieren que los residentes demuestren su competencia en Eco a pie de cama. El propósito de este estudio fue v...

Social network analysis of Iranian researchers on emergency medicine: a sociogram analysis
Conclusions because of Iranian low productivity in the emergency medicine field, social network analysis seems to be a proper option for bibliometrics to identify central authors and detect knowledge structure in this field.

Perspectives of South American physicians hosting foreign rotators in emergency medicine
Conclusions Our research identified benefits and challenges of IHEs in Emergency Medicine from the perspective of physician hosts in several hospitals in South America. Our results suggest that IHEs function best when EM residents rotate later in residency training and when relationships are maintained and deepened among those involved including host physicians, rotators, and institutions. This leads to future rotators, project collaboration, research, and publications which not only benefit individuals involved but also the wider field of Emergency Medicine.

Challenging script concordance test reference standard by evidence: do judgments by emergency medicine consultants agree with likelihood ratios?
Conclusions Although SCT is an interesting test to evaluate clinical decision-making in emergency medicine, our results raise concerns regarding whether the judgments of an expert panel are sufficiently valid as the reference standard for this test.

Emergency Medicine Gender‐specific Education / La Formación Específica de Género de la Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias.
Abstract The 2014 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference has taken the first step in identifying gender‐specific care as an area of importance to both emergency medicine (EM) and research. To improve patient care, we need to address educational gaps in this area concurrent with research gaps. In this article, the authors highlight the need for sex‐ and gender‐specific education in EM and propose guidelines for medical student, resident, and faculty education. Specific examples of incorporating this content into grand rounds, simulation, bedside teaching, and journal club sessions are reviewed. Future challe...

Simulation‐based Training for Emergency Medicine Residents in Sterile Technique During Central Venous Catheterization: Impact on Performance, Policy, and Outcomes
ConclusionsRoutine replacement of CVCs placed in the ED under sterile technique after simulation‐based training would appear to be unnecessary. These findings demonstrate patient‐centered outcomes that are comparable for CVCs in ED‐admitted MICU patients, regardless of whether the CVC was placed in the ED or MICU.

Do Emergency Medicine Residents Receive Appropriate Video Laryngoscopy Training? A Survey to Compare the Utilization of Video Laryngoscopy Devices in Emergency Medicine Residency Programs and Community Emergency Departments
Video laryngoscopy (VL) has emerged as a critical tool in the “difficult airway” armamentarium of emergency physicians. The resultant increase in the types of available VL devices has made Emergency Medicine Residency (EMR) training in VL increasingly challenging. Additionally, the prevalence of VL devices in the community is unknown. Because Emergency Medicine (EM) residents go on to work in diverse settings, many in non-EMR emergency departments (EDs), it is preferable that they receive training on the airway modalities they will encounter in practice.

‘Need-to-Know’ emergency medicine articles of 2014
Abstract Every year, thousands of articles are published in numerous medical journals that relate to the clinical practice of medicine. However, it is impossible for a single clinician to stay abreast of the literature, let alone to determine which articles should change daily practice. Physicians in our department have searched the emergency medicine and the specialty literature of 2014 to determine which articles are most relevant to the clinical practice of emergency medicine, summarized them, and listed key take-home points from these ‘need-to-know’ articles.
