Perioperative analgesia for cesarean section aims to ensure the mother’s comfort, facilitate a smooth surgical experience, and promote successful recovery. One-hundred-ninety patients were enrolled in randomized double-blind study designed assess quality of perioperative analgesia, level satisfaction, incidence adverse reactions elective under spinal anesthesia when fentanyl or morphine was added bupivacaine. Two treatment groups comprising 173 subjects compared per-protocol analysis: F...
Background/Objectives: Obesity is a global health challenge linked to higher risk of metabolic and cardiovascular complications. This study investigates the role markers in predicting crises obese patients, focusing on prevalence clinical implications these markers. Methods: retrospective cohort included 433 patients presenting with at Emergency Department Timișoara Municipal Hospital between 2019 2024. Patients were classified into (n = 161) non-obese 272) groups, obesity further stratified...
Background/Objectives: This study aims to investigate the impact of obesity severity on prevalence and outcomes acute metabolic emergencies in emergency department (ED) setting, with a specific focus class stratification associated complications. Methods: retrospective, single-center analyzed data from 433 patients admitted ED Timisoara Municipal Emergency Hospital between January 2019 March 2024. Patients were classified according WHO grades (Class I: BMI 30.0–34.9 kg/m2, Class II:...
Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, often triggered by infections or undiagnosed diabetes. Spontaneous pneu-momediastinum (SPM) pneumothorax are rare but recognized complications of DKA, possibly due to alveolar rupture from increased respiratory effort vomiting. Sometimes, acute pancreatitis (AP) may further complicate the co-occurrence these three conditions remains exceptionally rare. Case Presentation: We describe case...
Background/Objectives: Over the past three decades, emergency medicine in Romania has evolved from a developing specialty into cornerstone of national healthcare system. As we reflect on these 30 years, it becomes evident that lessons learned and systems developed form vital foundation for future. This study aims to explore how accumulated experience can guide us toward building more resilient medical system, one prioritizes quality, ensures patient provider safety, embraces modern...
Objective During the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency medicine (EM) teachers had to employ innovative methods ensure continuity of education process. The purpose this study was explore adequacy 360-degree video (video 360) technology in EM context of: (a) students' attitudes towards 360; (b) academic performance their required examination at end course compared assessment results students from previous year.Methods A mixed-method research project enrolled fourth-year medical who attended during...
Although the intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has been shown to be effective in treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), only a small proportion patients receive this drug. The low administration rate is mainly due delayed presentation emergency department (ED) or lack team/unit most hospitals. Thus, aim study analyze ED time targets and rt-PA after initial admission with AIS an from traditional healthcare center (without neurologist team/unit).
Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) and spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) have frequently been cited as complications associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, especially poor prognosis in mechanically ventilated patients. The current literature is controversial regarding the potential risk factors for developing SP or SPM (SP-SPM) non-ventilated COVID-19 Our research addressed a twofold objective: (a) to investigate characteristics of patients SP-SPM (both without COVID-19)...
Background and Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is a viral that spreading worldwide became pandemic. Although most of the time, symptoms are flu like, percentage patients develop forms, along with complications. Many them known among front-line health workers, but number uncommon presentations complications has increased. This case report aims to alert healthcare workers on less common forms...
Spontaneous pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum (SP–SPM) are relatively rare medical conditions that can occur with or independently of COVID-19. We conducted a retrospective analysis SP–SPM cases presented to the emergency departments (EDs) two University-affiliated tertiary hospitals from 1 March 2020 31 October 2022. A total 190 patients were identified: 52 COVID-19 cases, 138 non-COVID-19 cases. The primary outcome we looking for was in-hospital mortality. secondary outcomes concerned...
Synchronous electrical cardioversion is a relatively common procedure in the emergency department (ED), often performed for unstable supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) or ventricular (VT). However, it also used stable cases resistant to drug therapy, which carries risk of deterioration. In addition inherent risks linked with procedural sedation, there possibility malignant arrhythmias bradycardia, could potentially result cardiac arrest following this procedure. Here, we present case...
Background and Objectives: Thrombosis is a serious complication experienced by some hospitalized patients. While concurrent placement of two catheters (CVCs) in the same central vein offers several benefits clinical settings, we aimed to investigate role this procedure relation risk thrombosis. Materials Methods: Over two-year retrospective analysis, examined 114 patients with septic shock caused pulmonary infection, who underwent insertion one or more lines into during their ICU stay....
Introduction: Lactate is a useful prognostic marker, as its level increases in hypoxic tissue and/or during accelerated aerobic glycolysis due to excessive beta-adrenergic stimulation and decreased lactate clearance. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign Bundle 2018 Update suggests premeasurement of within 2–4 h so that physicians perform, assist, administer, introduce lactate-guided resuscitation reduce mortality sepsis. Methods: A total 108 patients with septic shock who underwent continuous renal...
Residency programs in anesthesiology and intensive care (AIC), emergency medicine (EM) continually evolve to ensure well-prepared trainees for these critical fields of healthcare. The objective this study was collect comprehensive feed-back from AIC EM residents, comprising opinions attitudes on: curriculum structure the residency program; scope training environment, opportunities complexity; guidance mentorship; teaching approach. An anonymous online cross-sectional survey conducted among...
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many aspects of society, including medical education. In response to the pandemic, Romanian schools and universities have turned online learning as a means continuing instruction while maintaining social distancing protocols. While in education was utilized prior its widespread adoption brought both challenges opportunities field. purpose this study assess students' perception towards implementing E-learning during COVID 19 pandemic.This cross-sectional...
Abstract Background Acute heart failure patients are often encountered in emergency departments (ED) from 11% to 57% using medical services (EMS). Our aim was evaluate the association of EMS use with acute patients’ ED management and short-term outcomes. Methods This a sub-analysis European EURODEM study. Data on presenting dyspnoea were collected prospectively EDs. Patients diagnosis categorized into two groups: those self-presenting (non- EMS). The independent between 30-day mortality...
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare disorder clinically characterized by abdominal pain, hepatomegaly and ascites. The condition often related to thrombosis of the hepatic veins or terminal portion inferior vena cava. A myeloproliferative most identified underlying prothrombotic risk factor, although almost one-half affected patients are now recognized as having multiple factors. Doppler ultrasound may be enough confirm diagnosis BCS; however, computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging...
