The goal of emergency airway management is first pass success without adverse events (FPS-AE). Anatomically difficult airways are well appreciated to be an obstacle this goal. However, little known about the effect physiologically with regard FPS-AE. This study evaluates effects both anatomically and on FPS-AE in patients undergoing rapid sequence intubation (RSI) department (ED).We analyzed prospectively recorded intubations a continuous quality improvement database between July 1,...
Background This study compared healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and cost among patients treated for pit viper envenomation with Fab or F(ab')2 antivenom in the United States.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine and Department Homeland Security assembled subject matter experts (SMEs) for the Toxic Chemical Syndrome Definitions Nomenclature Workshop. SMEs at this meeting identified a lack research evaluating effectiveness field recognition toxidromes to guide treatment. They suggested that mnemonics may be helpful remembering recognizing further, rapid toxidrome recognition, through use mnemonic or otherwise, leads action urgent intervention.(1) Determine if...
Pediatric emergency intubation is a high-acuity, low-occurrence procedure. Despite advances in technology, the success of this procedure remains low and adverse events are very high. Prospective observational studies children have demonstrated improved with use video laryngoscopy (VL) compared direct laryngoscopy, although reported first-pass (FPS) rates lower than that for adults. This may part be due to difficulty directing tracheal tube laryngeal inlet considering cephalad position larynx...
Airway compromise and respiratory failure are leading causes of pediatric cardiac arrest making advanced airway management central to resuscitation. Previous literature has demonstrated that achieving first-pass success (FPS) is associated with fewer adverse events. In for adult patients, increasing number intubation attempts lower likelihood return spontaneous circulation (ROSC) favorable neurologic outcome. There limited evidence regarding out-of-hospital (OHCA) in the emergency department...
Context: Envenomation by Centruroides sculpturatus can manifest with cranial nerve dysfunction and neuromuscular hyperactivity. While these symptoms are most commonly seen in young children, they may also be adults.Case details: Three cases of adult patients presented grades III & IV scorpion envenomation. They reported including disconjugate, roving eye movements, motor involvement. Also were hyposmia, difficulty fine dysgeusia. All first treated benzodiazepines little to no effect. then...
