Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 55-year-old skier buried for nearly 5 hours shows that continuous heart rate monitoring can reveal important phases of cardiac activity, and the victim surprisingly survived without advanced rewarming methods.
- * The study emphasizes the need for better rescue strategies and on-site management, noting that factors like air pockets may help improve chances of survival for those trapped in avalanches.
The case presents a traumatic ventricular perforation of a girl, accidentally felt on a sharp instrument. The uniqueness of the case presented is due to the very high infrequency of injuries with this type of sharp object. The 7-year-old girl was transported to the hospital after accidentally falling on a sharp instrument.

It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and therefore its prognosis remains poor with a low 5-year survival rate. HCC patients have increasingly complex and constantly changing characteristics, thus up-to-date and comprehensive data are fundamental.

Design: Prospective observational single-center cohort study.
Setting And Participants: Among patients admitted to an acute geriatric unit of an Italian University Hospital with at least 1 sepsis risk factor, all subjects with suspected infection at admission or during hospital stay (defined as antibiotic prescription and associated culture test) were considered.
