A secondary analysis of the HiSTORIC trial reveals that using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin for risk stratification significantly reduces ED length of stay and increases safe discharge rates for low- and intermediate-risk patients, with
A secondary analysis of the APACE study demonstrates that Cardiac Myosin-Binding Protein C (cMyC) significantly improves NSTEMI diagnosis, particularly in early presenters. Integrating cMyC with high-sensitivity troponin into a dual-biomark
The MSU-TELEMED trial demonstrates that telemedicine models for Mobile Stroke Units are superior to onboard neurologist care. By dramatically improving physician resource utilization without compromising safety, telemedicine provides a more
A multicenter randomized trial reveals that a brief, structured training intervention for emergency physicians significantly increases the use of ultrasound-guided fascia iliaca blocks, resulting in a 28% reduction in delirium risk for geri
This article explores recent evidence comparing ketamine and etomidate for rapid sequence intubation. While new cohort data suggests a mortality benefit for ketamine, meta-analyses of randomized trials show clinical equipoise, highlighting
A national survey of 111 emergency medicine trainees identifies limited exposure to surgical critical care, institutional and geographic factors, and program characteristics (ECMO, multidisciplinary teams) as key modifiable drivers of low E
Venomous snakes cause thousands of bites annually in the US, with serious health consequences. Understanding snake types, symptoms, first aid, and prevention can save lives.
Prompt opioid delivery in pediatric EDs for sickle cell pain significantly lowers hospitalization rates, with the greatest benefit seen when the first dose is given within 60 minutes and the second dose within 30 minutes.
This study developed and validated machine learning models with high accuracy to predict early pediatric sepsis and septic shock within 48 hours using multisite electronic health record data in emergency departments.
A randomized trial shows that multidose ondansetron after pediatric ED visits for gastroenteritis reduces moderate-to-severe illness, though impact on vomiting duration and healthcare utilization is limited.
Intubation in the emergency department for trauma patients with active hemorrhage is associated with higher mortality, more ICU admissions, and greater transfusion needs compared to intubation in the operating room.
