However, all new techniques require up-to-date definitions of competencies relevant to the clinical realities of different specialties and the geographic settings in which specialists work. To that end, a group of experts in clinical ultrasound reviewed the evidence available in the literature and strictly applied the Delphi method to define the competencies relevant to emergency physicians.

- The study examines clinical features of acute pericarditis in patients visiting the emergency department, focusing on age differences and cases of myopericarditis over a decade (2008-2017).
- Younger patients typically reported sharp, positional chest pain, while older patients often experienced oppressive pain and had more cardiovascular issues, with a higher suspicion of coronary conditions.
- Factors linked to hospitalization included renal insufficiency, tachycardia, and electrocardiographic abnormalities, with specific indications for myopericarditis being significant in predicting admissions.
Objectives: To assess the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of ultrasound images obtained by emergency physician to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT). patients with acute heart failure (AHF) attended in a hospital emergency department (ED).
Material And Methods: Prospective multicenter cohort study.
Background And Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the epidemiological and toxicological characteristics of chemical exposures requiring Emergency Department consultation.
Methodology: Descriptive study of Hospital Emergency Department consultations between 2000 and 2008 derived from exposure to a chemical agent.
Results: A total of 992 patients were included; the mean age was 42.
