Article Synopsis
- * This study investigated the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on preventing ICU-acquired muscle weakness (ICU-AW) and improving physical function in critically ill ARDS patients during deep sedation.
- * Results showed that patients receiving NMES had a significantly lower incidence of ICU-AW (28.95% vs. 56.67%) compared to those who did not, indicating that NMES may be a beneficial intervention in these scenarios.
Background: Because of a scant report, it is little known that thyroid storms can occur after trauma, even in adolescence. Significantly, this increases the risk of delaying diagnosis resulting in life-threatening.
Case Presentation: A 13-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency department after a traffic accident.
Rationale: To date, family satisfaction with emergency medical technicians (EMTs) has only been reported through narrative statements in subjective evaluations. Although a quantitative assessment of healthcare professional satisfaction is desirable, no specific measures have been devised to assess family satisfaction with the healthcare and care provided by EMTs.
Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to develop and validate an EMT care family satisfaction scale to measure patient satisfaction with prehospital emergency care.
Normally aerated lung tissue on computed tomography (CT) is correlated with static respiratory system compliance (C) at zero end-expiratory pressure. In clinical practice, however, patients with acute respiratory failure are often managed using elevated PEEP levels. No study has validated the relationship between lung volume and tissue and C at the applied positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).

To recognize the importance of future countermeasures, we estimated the projected number and percentage of fall-related emergency medical service (EMS) calls.
Methods: We examined the sex, age group, and location of falls among patients aged ≥ 65 years who contacted emergency services in Sapporo City from 2013 to 2021.
