Adherence to guideline recommendations in the management of pediatric cardiac arrest: a multicentre observational simulation-based study
Conclusions Deviations from guidelines, although measured by means of a nonvalidated tool, were frequent in the management of a pediatric cardiac arrest scenario by pediatric residents. The use of the PALS-2015 pocket card was associated with better Clinical Performance Tool scores but was not associated with less deviations or shorter times to resuscitation tasks.

Utility of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of rapid atrial fibrillation in the emergency department: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (Afib/RVR) is a frequent reason for emergency department (ED) visits and can be treated with a variety of pharmacological agents. Magnesium sulfate has been used to prevent and treat postoperative Afib/RVR. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of magnesium for treatment of Afib/RVR in the ED. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched up to June 2021 to identify any relevant randomized trials or observational studies. We used Cochrane’s Risk-of-Bias tools to assess study qualities and random-effects meta-analysis for the differen...

Ultrasound in postresuscitation care: a narrative review
The efficacy of ultrasound (US) in real-time differential diagnosis and guiding further treatment decisions has been well demonstrated in prearrest conditions and during resuscitation. Evidence is limited regarding the application of US in postresuscitation care. Most of the patients following resuscitation remain comatose, and the requirement for transportation to other examination rooms increases their risk of injury. US can be performed at the bedside with high accessibility and timeliness without radiation. This narrative review provides an overview of current evidence regarding the application of US in identifying the...

Effect of a delayed admission to the intensive care unit on survival after emergency department visit in patients with cancer: a retrospective observational study
Conclusion In ED patients with cancer, a direct admission to the ICU was associated with better 180-day survival compared with patients with a delayed ICU admission secondary from the wards. However, several confounders were not taken into account, which limits the validity of this result. (Source: European Journal of Emergency Medicine)

Effect of sodium bicarbonate on functional outcome in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a post-hoc analysis of a French and North-American dataset
Conclusion In patients with OHCA, prehospital sodium bicarbonate administration was not associated with neurologic outcomes in a French dataset and was associated with worse neurologic outcomes in a North-American dataset. Given the considerable variability in sodium bicarbonate use by different prehospital care systems and the potential resuscitation-time bias in the present study, a large randomised clinical trial targeting specific patient subgroups may be needed to determine whether sodium bicarbonate has a role in the prehospital management of prolonged OHCA.

Accuracy of Emergency Severity Index in older adults
Conclusion Emergency Severity Index performed well in predicting high dependency unit/ICU admission rates for both 18–64 years and greater than or equal to 65-year-old patients. It predicted the 3-day mortality for patients aged greater than or equal to 65 years with high accuracy. It was inaccurate in predicting 30-day mortality and hospital admission for both age groups.

The association of biological sex and long-term outcomes in patients with acute dyspnea at the emergency department
Background and importance Marked differences have been described between women and men in disease prevalence, clinical presentation, response to treatment and outcomes. However, such data are scarce in the acutely ill. An awareness of differences related to biological sex is essential for the success of clinical care and outcomes in patients presenting with acute dyspnea, the most frequent cause of emergency department (ED) admission. Objectives The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of biological sex on 1-year all-cause mortality in patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the ED. Design, set...
