Survival and predictive factors of clinical outcome in patients with severe acquired brain injury.

Background: Despite the many tools available to modern medicine, predicting the neurological and functional status of patients after severe brain injury remains difficult.

Aim: This analysis evaluates the outcomes of patients with the most severe degree of cerebral function impairment.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

The Role of Ultrasound Examination in the Differential Diagnosis of Cardiac Arrest in Prehospital Care: A Case Report.

The survival rate of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has improved in recent years; however, it remains low. One approach to improving outcomes in these cases is to implement point-of-care ultrasound as an integral part of advanced cardiac life support management. Due to its growing popularity among emergency physicians, several protocols for this examination have been developed; however, there are little data on its use in the prehospital setting.
