Abstract Background Scholarly tracks typically consist of longitudinal subspecialty‐specific curricula and mentorship for residents. Roughly one in five emergency medicine (EM) residency programs offer scholarly tracks, allowing residents to explore a niche develop skills prepare them their future careers. There is limited information on the faculty workforce that leads tracks. Our objective was understand characteristics EM track leaders, specifically effort compensation. Methods We...
The Canadian Emergency Department Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) is an integral part of the emergency medicine triaging system. There growing interest implementation CTAS worldwide. However, little known about its reliability outside Canada. aim this study was to determine agreement in a tertiary care center Saudi Arabia.Ten triage nurses (five senior five junior nurses) utilized guidelines independently assign level for 160 real case-based scenarios. Quadratic weighted kappa statistics were...
We investigated sex differences in 1-year survival a cohort of patients who survived out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to hospital discharge. hypothesized that female is associated with higher posthospital discharge survival.
We evaluated the effect of sex and age on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes in a Canadian population.
Abstract Objectives Prior research indicates sex disparities in the incidence and outcomes of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study investigates presence such differences Salt Lake City, Utah. Methods We analyzed data from City Fire Department (2008‒2023). included adults with non‐traumatic OHCA. calculated annual OHCA examined sex‐specific survival using multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for characteristics known to be associated survival. Results The was 76 per...
Previous research has reported racial disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) interventions, including bystander CPR and AED use. However, studies on other prehospital interventions are limited. The primary objective of this study was to investigate race/ethnic interventions: EMS response times, medication administration, decisions for intra-arrest transport. secondary evaluate differences the provision Bystander (CPR) application AED.
Abstract Background Previous studies conducted in North America, Europe, and East Asia (Liu et al., EClinicalMedicine 44:101293, 2022; Matsui JAMA Netw Open 2:e195111, 2019; Awad J Am Coll Emerg Physicians 4:e12957, 2023; Yoon Prehosp Care :1–7, 2022) reported gender disparities the provision of bystander CPR for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, it remains unknown whether similar exist Middle Eastern Gulf regions. The primary objective this study is to evaluate...
Previous studies of the effect sex on after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes focused survival to hospital discharge and 1-month survival. Studies neurological function OHCA are still limited. The objective this study was identify predictors favorable outcome examine association between as a biological variable OHCA.Retrospective analyses clustered data from Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium multi-center randomized controlled trial (2011-2015). We included adults with...
Research on incidence and characteristics of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in the Middle East is limited. We assessed incidence, prehospital characteristics, outcomes OHCA Qatar, a Eastern country. Subsequently, we performed gender-specific analysis. This was retrospective examination data obtained from registry at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) Qatar 2017 to 2022. included adults, non-traumatic, EMS-treatment OHCA. calculated adult conducted descriptive analyses for presented by...
Objective: The optimal timing for defibrillation attempts in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with recurrent shockable rhythms [ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT)] is uncertain. This study examined the association between "time to DC shock" and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) OHCA rhythms. Methods: was a retrospective analysis data from Salt Lake City Fire Department (SLCFD) 2012 2023. Rhythm-filtering technology, used since 2012,...
Aims: The primary objective of this study was to investigate ethnic disparities in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) interventions, specifically the administration epinephrine and ant arrythmias. secondary explore association with provision bystander CPR (CPR) application Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Methods: This a retrospective analysis data from Salt Lake City Fire Department 2010 2023. included adults 18 years or older who experienced OHCA were treated by EMS. Ethnicity...
OBJECTIVES Pain management in the potentially austere search and rescue (SAR) emergency medical services (EMS) environments can be challenging. Intravenous (IV) intramuscular (IM) routes of administration may less practical. This study assesses efficacy safety sublingual sufentanil tablet (SST) prehospital settings hypothesizes that its use will reduce pain while maintaining a reasonable profile.
Objectives:The aim of this study was to explore the gross contamination rate a portable ultrasound (US) machine in community Emergency Department (ED) and examine whether there is an association between time day frequency contamination.Methods: A total 61 photographic samples US were collected over 23 days capture visible contamination.Collection times evenly distributed three blocks time: day, evening, night.Each sample consisted six photos categorized into groups: (1) transducers, (2)...
Introduction: Research on gender differences in OHCA incidence, characteristics, and outcomes is lacking the Middle East. We evaluated adult non-traumatic by achieving prehospital ROSC Qatar. Methods: analyzed data obtained from Hamad Medical Corporation adult, non-traumatic, EMS-attended Qatar (2017-2022). calculated annual incidence of ran descriptive statistics for characteristics full cohort gender. This was followed multivariable logistic regression to examine association between ROSC,...
Abstract Background Previous studies conducted in North America, Europe, and East Asia (10, 16, 20, 21) reported gender disparities the provision of bystander CPR for patients with out hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, it remains unknown whether similar exist Middle Eastern Gulf regions. The primary objective this study is to evaluate differences OHCA Qatar. Methods Retrospective analysis data obtained from Hamad Medical Corporation registry State Qatar (2016–2022). We included adults...
Introduction: It is unclear if the benefits of public access defibrillator (PAD) programs are similar between men and women. We investigated location out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) stratified by sex to determine what proportion was eligible for PAD application. Second, we sought patient associated with utilization. Methods: analyzed prospectively collected data from North American Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) Epistry dataset (2011 - 2015), excluding emergency medical...
