Background: As iatrogenic hyperoxia has been related to adverse outcomes in critically ill patients, guidelines advise to titrate oxygen to physiological levels. In the prehospital setting where partial arterial oxygen (PaO) values are often not readily available, titration of oxygen is based on peripheral oxygen saturations (SpO2). In this study we aimed to investigate the efficacy of SpO guided oxygen titration in the prevention of hyperoxia.

- * Conducted across 8 emergency departments, the research involved 167 patients, with PoCUS showing a sensitivity and specificity of 93% for detecting clavicle fractures.
- * The findings suggest that PoCUS is a valuable method for triaging clavicle injuries, especially in adults, and helps identify patients needing further testing.
Background And Aim: The passage of kidney stones through the ureter creates renal colic, a severe visceral abdominal pain. Renal colic is typically managed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids. Yet, these treatments often fail to provide adequate pain relief.
