Comparison Between the Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Adult Advanced Life Support Protocols: A Simulation-Based Pilot Study.

Cardiac arrest is a public health concern associated with unfavorable disease outcomes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of optimal quality is widely acknowledged as an indispensable technique in restoring spontaneous circulation. In order to perform advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), chest compression must be paused twice: once to assess the rhythm and again to administer the shock.

Management and Outcomes of Traumatic Liver Injury: A Retrospective Analysis from a Tertiary Care Center Experience.

Background: although liver injuries are one of the most critical complications of abdominal trauma, choosing when to operate on these injuries is challenging for surgeons worldwide.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of liver injury cases at our institution from 2016 to 2022 to describe the operative and nonoperative management (NOM) outcomes in patients with traumatic liver injuries. Baseline patient characteristics, liver injury details, treatments, and outcomes were analyzed.

Simulation-based Comparison of British and Australian Advanced Life Support Guidelines.

Introduction: Cardiac arrest is a major health concern that has been linked to poor disease outcomes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical protocol for restoring spontaneous circulation. The guidelines used by medical staff differ across different countries.

The Prevalence of Simultaneously Ordering Amylase and Lipase for Diagnosing Pancreatitis.

Background: The simultaneous measurement of serum amylase and lipase levels in the diagnosis of pancreatitis was deemed unnecessary in several studies. We aim at evaluating the prevalence of the simultaneous co-ordering of serum amylase and lipase.

Methods: This retrospective chart review was conducted at King Saud University Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between January 2021 and January 2022.

Contribution of COVID-19 to the Total Cases of Pulmonary Embolism and the Potential Risk Factors: Single Academic Hospital Study.

Background: There are limited data regarding potential triggering factors of pulmonary embolism (PE) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and its outcomes in comparison with non-infected PE patients. We aimed to identify the contribution of COVID-19 among patients diagnosed with PE and compare risk factors, laboratory results, and outcomes between COVID-19 PE patients and non-COVID-19 PE patients.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of all PE patients between March 2020 and December 2020.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest at the Triage of Emergency Medicine Department in a Patient With COVID-19.

A pneumonia outbreak with an unknown microbial etiology was reported in Wuhan, Hubei province of China, on December 31, 2019. This was later attributed to a novel coronavirus, currently called as severe acute respiratory system coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mainly affects the respiratory system and can also cause acute or chronic damage to the cardiovascular system.
