Objective: The present study was performed to investigate the efficacy of different resuscitation fluids in critically ill patients presenting any type of hypovolemic shock.
Methods: We comprehensively searched PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar for randomized trials published in English from January 1990 to August 2023. The risk of bias and methodological quality assessment was performed using Cochrane's risk of bias tool embedded within the Review Manager software (RevMan 5.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the effects of ECMO/ECLS therapies on patients intoxicated by drugs, focusing on hospital discharge survival rates and adverse events associated with the treatment.
- - Out of 2,216 research results, only 10 studies met the criteria, showing a survival rate of 65.6%, but with high variability among the findings due to differing substances involved.
- - While ECMO therapies improved survival chances, they also carried a notable risk of adverse events (23.1%), suggesting a complex balance between benefits and risks in treating intoxicated patients.
This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in diagnosing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in the emergency department (ED). A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar identified studies published until July 2024. Nine studies were included, revealing that POCUS is highly accurate in diagnosing AAA, with a pooled sensitivity of 98.

Background: The assessment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is clinically difficult diagnosis. The "gold standard test" for DVT diagnosis is venography; however, various point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) protocols have been suggested for DVT evaluation in the emergency department.
Aims: This review evaluated the role of different POCUS protocols in diagnosing DVT in the emergency department.
