Theoretical knowledge and self-assessed ability to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a survey among 3044 healthcare professionals in Sweden
Conclusion The overall theoretical knowledge was poor and ratings of self-assessed abilities to perform CPR were low. Working on a monitored ward, recently attended CPR training and being a nurse or physician were factors associated with higher theoretical knowledge and higher ratings of self-assessed ability to perform CPR. These findings imply prioritisation of CPR training. (Source: European Journal of Emergency Medicine)

Comparison of objective nutritional indexes for the prediction of in-hospital mortality among elderly patients with acute heart failure
Objectives: The association between objective nutritional indexes and prognosis in patients with acute heart failure have not been well studied. Therefore, we aimed to compare the prognostic value of modified Glasgow prognostic score, prognostic nutritional index, controlling nutritional status score, and geriatric nutritional risk index for the prediction of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute heart failure. Methods: All consecutive elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) who had tests for C-reactive protein, total lymphocyte count, total cholesterol, and albumin levels at admission, and hospitalized due to acut...

‘Stop sign’ position for subclavian ultrasound: a single-blinded observational study of subclavian vein dimensions
Objective Right subclavian vein (SCV) dimensions were evaluated on ultrasound and whether these change when the right upper limb is in a neutral position compared with the ‘stop sign’ position (shoulder abducted and externally rotated to 90°, elbow flexed to 90°), and when patients were positioned 30° head-up compared with lying supine. Methods Images of transverse and longitudinal views of the right SCV in patients ≥18 years, presenting with a range of conditions to a Regional Hospital Emergency Department, were recorded by two physicians in a randomly assigned, nonsequential order and measured blinded.
