The role of point-of-care ultrasound in the assessment of pelvic urine leakage and diagnosis of urinoma

Asra Moradkhani, Mona Zangi, Mobin Azami, Mohammad Ghasemi-Rad, Abdolghader Pakniyat

Summary: This report presents two cases of urinoma likely caused by overdistention of the renal pelvis following excessive fluid intake and the presence of a ureteral stone. Point-of-care ultrasound played a pivotal role in identifying perinephric fluid and guiding further investigations, leading to definitive diagnoses and successful treatment.

Gender disparities in the mediating role of symptom knowledge level in reducing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) decision delay: Findings from a community-based study in China

Siyue Wang, Junxian Song, Chongyou Lee, Jin Jiang, Mengying Wang, Dongjing Liu, Zhuqing Wang, Yuan Yuan, Wenyong Li, Ren Zhou, Hongchen Zheng, Jianmin Wei, Yonghua Hu, Tao Wu, Zhenbiao Tian, Hong Chen

Summary: The study found that training programs on prodromal symptoms of ACS can reduce decision delay, with increased knowledge playing a mediating role. However, this effect was only observed in male participants and not in female participants. This suggests that mere transfer of knowledge may not be sufficient to mitigate decision delay in females. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and gain deeper insights into the gender-specific barriers encountered in this study.

Witnessed prehospital traumatic arrest: predictors of survival to hospital discharge

Morgan Schellenberg, Natthida Owattanapanich, Chaiss Ugarte, Areg Grigorian, Jeffry Nahmias, Lydia Lam, Matthew J. Martin, Kenji Inaba

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate patients who experienced EMS-witnessed traumatic cardiac arrest and determine the factors associated with survival. The study found that survivors were more likely to be young, female, injured by blunt trauma, and have higher Glasgow Coma Scale scores and lower Injury Severity Scores. These findings have important implications for emergency department resuscitation and decision-making regarding termination of care.

Selective aortic arch perfusion: a first-in-human observational cadaveric study

Max Marsden, Jon Barratt, Helen Donald-Simpson, Tracey Wilkinson, Jim Manning, Paul Rees

Summary: For the first time using a perfused cadaveric model, we have demonstrated that a SAAP catheter can be easily and safely inserted and SAAP can be achieved using conventional endovascular techniques. The SAAP catheter allowed successful access to the proximal aorta and permitted retrograde perfusion of the coronary and cerebral circulation.

The burden and prognostic significance of suspected sepsis in the prehospital setting: A state-wide population-based cohort study

Richard Chatoor, Praba Sekhar, Emily Mahony, Emily Nehme, Shelley Cox, Daniel Cudini, Jeffrey Shao, Karen Smith, David Anderson, Ziad Nehme, Andrew Udy

Summary: Despite high in-hospital mortality, the epidemiology of prehospital suspected sepsis presentations is not well described. This retrospective cohort study aimed to quantify the burden of such adult presentations, and to determine whether a sepsis diagnosis was independently associated with longer-term mortality. Over 1.2 million patients were included, and the age-adjusted incidence rate of prehospital suspected sepsis was 65 cases per 100,000 person-years with a 35% higher likelihood of 6-month mortality.

Suspension syndrome: a scoping review and recommendations from the International Commission for Mountain Emergency Medicine (ICAR MEDCOM)

Simon Rauch, Raimund Lechner, Giacomo Strapazzon, Roger B. Mortimer, John Ellerton, Sven Christjar Skaiaa, Tobias Huber, Hermann Brugger, Mathieu Pasquier, Peter Paal

Summary: This study reviewed the epidemiological and medical data related to suspension syndrome and found that suspension syndrome is a rare condition. The pathophysiology may be related to a neurocardiogenic reflex and other factors such as pain, trauma, and accidental hypothermia. Preventive measures include using a well-fitting sit harness and activating the muscle pump of the legs. Swift rescue and immediate initiation of standard advanced life support are crucial in managing suspension syndrome.

Summary: The laparoscopic approach in emergency abdominal surgery for general surgery emergencies and abdominal trauma has demonstrated several benefits and improved outcomes in stable patients. However, appropriate patient selection, surgeon experience, and rigorous minimally invasive surgical training are crucial factors for increasing the adoption of laparoscopy in emergency general surgery and abdominal trauma.

Supraglottic airway devices

G. Jansen, R. Abels, M. Deslandes, J. Persson, J. Hinkelbein

Summary: Introduced in the early 1980s, supraglottic airway devices (SGA) have revolutionized airway management in prehospital and in-hospital settings. They are particularly beneficial for users with limited airway management experience. However, despite their advantages, the use of SGAs should not be taken lightly as complications can arise.
