Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effect of early antibiotic administration on 28-day in-hospital mortality in patients with suspected sepsis in the emergency department.
- Among 872 participants, those who received antibiotics within an hour had a significantly lower mortality rate (9.6%) compared to those who received them later (14.7%).
- Delays in antibiotic treatment were linked to increased mortality risk, with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.00 for those who received antibiotics after one hour and a 1.06 increase in risk for each additional hour of delay.
Background: The value of simulation in emergency medicine is indisputable because it allows training and acquisition of many technical and non-technical skills (TS and NTS). In France, there are no curriculum regarding the use of simulation as a teaching tool during emergency medicine residency. The aim of this study was to design the content of a national simulation-based curriculum for emergency medicine residency programs.

Method: Our analysis relies on six waves of a standardized cross, sectional survey conducted in mainland France between 2005 and 2022. The overall sample size comprises 179905 adolescents aged 17 (90166 males and 89739 females).
Background: The assessment of technical and nontechnical skills in emergency medicine requires reliable and usable tools. Three Acute Care Assessment Tools (ACATs) have been developed to assess medical learners in their management of cardiac arrest (ACAT-CA), coma (ACAT-coma) and acute respiratory failure (ACAT-ARF).
Objective: This study aims to analyze the reliability and usability of the three ACATs when used for in situ (bedside) simulation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how well the Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria (PERC) and the age-modified PERC-35 tool perform in emergency departments for patients aged 35 and younger suspected of having a pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Data from 1,235 patients indicated that while both PERC and PERC-35 could rule out PE in nearly half the cases, there were still a few missed diagnoses.
- Results showed that both tools had similar safety and efficacy, but the research couldn't definitively confirm their reliability due to large confidence intervals.
