Assessment of Hospital Medical Emergency Team Operations in a Tertiary Care Center in Turkey.

Background: Rapid Response Teams, strategically devised to mitigate mortality and morbidity stemming from unforeseen deteriorations and cardiac arrests within healthcare facilities, are ubiquitously implemented on a global scale.

Aim: The aim of the study is to compare emergency physicians (EPs) and non-EPs on management protocols of Hospital Medical Emergency Teams (HoMET).

Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Protective effects of safranal on kidney tissue in a rat model of distant ischemia-reperfusion injury with infrarenal aortic occlusion.

Background/aim: Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury to a part of the body can cause damage to distant organs such as the kidney and heart. This study investigated the protective effects of safranal against IR-induced renal injury.

Materials And Methods: Used in this study were 24 Wistar Albino male rats, which were divided into 3 equal and randomised groups.

Evaluation of systemic immune-inflammation index in acute deep vein thrombosis: A propensity-matched.

Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) progressing to pulmonary embolism is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. At present, color Doppler ultrasound is the most effective examination method for the diagnosis of DVT. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been introduced as a new indicator of comprehensive systemic immune thrombosis and inflammatory status in the body.

Incidence, follow-up and outcomes of incidental abdominal aortic aneurysms in computed tomography.

Objectives: The goal of our study was to determine the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) that were incidentally diagnosed by computed tomography applied for different reasons and to discuss the risk factors that may cause AAA.

Methods: A total of 5396 abdominal computed tomography examinations were performed, and the 103 incidentally detected AAAs were included in the study. Patients with and without AAA were compared in terms of age, gender, thoracic and abdominal aortic diameters and comorbid diseases.

Effect of smartphone applications on cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality metrics in a mannequin study: A randomized trial.

Objective: The aim of this randomized, cross-over trial is to reveal the effect of smartphone cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) feedback applications (App) on a group of lay rescuers' chest compression-only CPR quality metrics. Quality metrics is measured initially and after 3 months.

Methods: A floor-based Resusci Anne mannequin (Laerdal Medical, Stavanger, Norway) was used.
