Evaluation of the effect of intravenous nitroglycerine on short-term survival of patients with acute heart failure according to congestion and perfusion status at emergency department arrival
Objectives: We investigated if the phenotypic classification of acute heart failure (AHF) based on the number of signs/symptoms of congestion and hypoperfusion at emergency department (ED) arrival identifies subgroups in which intravenous (IV) nitroglycerine (NTG) use improves short-term survival. Methods: We included consecutive AHF patients diagnosed in 45 Spanish EDs, who were grouped according to phenotype severity. The main outcome was 30-day all-cause death. Propensity scores (PS) for NTG use were generated using variables associated with death. Analysis of interaction was performed in subgroups of patient...

Point-of-care ultrasonography-assisted nasogastric tube placement in the emergency department: a randomized controlled trial
Conclusion POCUS enables real-time insertion of a gastric tube with high sensitivity, in a short time with high first-attempt success rate and limited passage-related complications. POCUS should be utilized for NGT insertion whenever expertise is available on the bedside. (Source: European Journal of Emergency Medicine)

Outcome differences between PARAMEDIC2 and the German Resuscitation Registry: a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial compared with registry data
Conclusion Our framework helps in the medical interpretation of the PARAMEDIC2 trial and the transferability of the trial’s results for other EMS systems. Significantly higher rates of survival and favourable neurological outcome than reported in this trial could be possible in other EMS and health care systems.

Early chest CT-scan in emergency patients affected by community-acquired pneumonia is associated with improved diagnosis consistency
Chest CT-scan (CT) exceeds chest X-ray (CXR) to diagnose community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) but actual use and results remain unclear. We examine whether CT performed at ED visit improved ED diagnosis of CAP as compared to a final diagnosis of CAP at hospital discharge (gold standard diagnosis for the study), and how it impacts relevant clinical outcomes. This retrospective monocenter observational study was based on the analysis of the hospital database. Patients with a diagnosis of CAP in the ED (ICD-10 codes: J110, J111, from J12- to J18-, J440, J690, U0710, and U0711) were included. We compared ED patients who were dia...

The association between helicopter emergency medical services and early casualty survival: a nationwide study
Conclusion HEMS was not associated with a decrease in early mortality among trauma casualties in this study encompassing the prehospital and hospital scenes. There was a positive trend and a decrease in mortality from penetrating injuries. Further research to ascertain which casualties benefit from HEMS is warranted and will allow for more precise use of this expensive resource. (Source: European Journal of Emergency Medicine)
