Article Synopsis
- Dispatchers need training to effectively question bystanders during suspected cardiac arrests and to provide CPR instructions over the phone, but a performance assessment tool for this training is lacking.
- The study aimed to develop a reliable performance assessment scale for evaluating both dispatchers' and bystanders' CPR assistance in simulated environments.
- The new scale consists of 32 items for dispatchers and 15 for bystanders, showing strong internal consistency and reproducibility, indicating it's a valid tool for assessing CPR performance.
Objectives: Acute heart failure (AHF) is a leading cause of admission in emergency departments (ED). It is associated with significant in-hospital mortality, suggesting that there is room for improvement of care. Our aims were to investigate clinical patterns, biological characteristics and determinants of 30-day mortality.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of PCT, MR-proANP, MR-proADM, copeptin and CT-proET1 for the risk-stratification of severe acute dyspnea patients presenting to the ED.
Methods: Multicenter prospective study in adult patients with a chief complaint of acute dyspnea.
To compare respiration rate measurement by an acoustic method and thoracic impedance to capnometry as the reference method, in patients at the Emergency Department after drug or alcoholic poisoning. In this observational study, 30 patients aged 18 or older, hospitalized at the Emergency Department for drug or alcoholic poisoning, without any contraindication to a face mask and/or a cervical acoustic sensor, were included in the study. They benefited from a simultaneous recording of their respiration rate by the acoustic method (RRa(®), Masimo Corp.

Methods: Consecutive patients with severe, acute pain defined as a visual analog scale score (VASS) of 60/100 or higher were included. The M group received an initial intravenous M injection of 0.
