A national study reveals significant variability across EMS agencies in decisions about resuscitation futility and termination for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, highlighting critical impacts on care and outcomes.
A judgment-based binary triage system demonstrated high sensitivity and low undertriage rates in military trauma, supporting its use despite significant overtriage under combat conditions.
A multicenter randomized trial found that initiating a 1-hour resuscitation bundle including early antibiotics, fluids, vasopressors, and hydrocortisone in the prehospital setting did not significantly reduce 28-day mortality in adults with
High-dose rocuronium (>1.2 mg/kg) is associated with improved first-attempt intubation success in ICU patients, though this benefit was not observed in the ED setting. Further randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings.
A multicenter study investigated whether initiating a 1-hour resuscitation bundle—including antibiotics, fluids, vasopressors, and hydrocortisone—in the prehospital setting influences 28-day mortality in septic shock, finding no significant
Secondary analysis of two multicenter trials reveals that high-dose rocuronium (>1.2 mg/kg) improves first-attempt intubation success in ICU patients but not in the emergency department, highlighting a potential dose-dependent effect on
