Predictive factors of mortality in patients admitted to the emergency department for SARS-Cov2 pneumonia.

Introduction: The overcrowding of intensive care units during the corona virus pandemic increased the number of patients managed in the emergency department (ED). The detection timely of the predictive factors of mortality and bad outcomes improve the triage of those patients.

Aim: To define the predictive factors of mortality at 30 days among patients admitted on ED for covid-19 pneumonia.

Value of nitroglycerin test in the diagnosis of heart failure in emergency department patients with undifferentiated dyspnea.

Background: Rapid diagnosis of heart failure (HF) in acutely dyspneic patients can be challenging for emergency department (ED) physicians.

Hypothesis: Cardiac output (CO) change with sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG) could be helpful in the diagnosis of HF in patients with acute undifferentiated dyspnea.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study of patients >18 years admitted to the ED for acute dyspnea.
