Article Synopsis
- Regulatory changes have impacted the workload needed to manage graduate medical education (GME) programs, making it crucial to assess faculty efforts in emergency medicine (EM).
- A survey study conducted from April 2022 to March 2023 involved 596 faculty members, who reported spending significant weekly hours on various GME activities, with program directors (PDs) dedicating the most time.
- Significant differences in time spent on tasks were observed based on faculty roles and different quarters of the year, indicating a need for effective faculty support in residency programs.
Article Synopsis
- Trauma during pregnancy poses risks for both the mother and fetus, necessitating interventions like resuscitative hysterotomy (RH) to improve maternal outcomes alongside fetal survival.
- Recent studies indicate that RH can quickly restore maternal vital signs, making it crucial for patients with unstable conditions before cardiovascular collapse.
- A case review of 4 pregnant trauma patients showed a 50% maternal survival and provided insights into the effectiveness of RH in emergency situations, highlighting a shift towards prioritizing maternal health.
Introduction: Human trafficking (HT) is a public health issue that adversely affects patients' well-being.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study of ED visits using the 2013-2018 National Emergency Department Sample, a 20% sample of ED encounters in the United States. Neuroimaging use was determined by Common Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for non-contrast head CT (NCCT), CT angiography head (CTA), CT perfusion (CTP), and MRI brain (MRI) in non-admitted ED patients.
