Epidemiology and outcomes of out of hospital cardiac arrest in Saudi Arabia: Findings from the Saudi Out of Hospital cardiac Arrest Registry (SOHAR).

Aim: The Saudi Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry (SOHAR) is the first out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) registry in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of OHCA in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: The SOHAR is a prospective data collection system.

Evaluation of Telephone Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Performance in Current Practice in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global health problem with a low survival rate. Telephone cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) guidance by emergency medical services (EMS) dispatchers can improve CPR performance and, consequently, survival rates. Accordingly, the American Heart Association (AHA) has released performance standards for T-CPR in current practice to improve its quality.

Fixator-Assisted Nailing for Femur Neck Fracture Nonunion: A Case Series Study.

Background: Femoral neck fractures in young adults tend to be a result of high-energy trauma with a common pattern of Pauwels type III fracture, and they require timely and meticulous diagnosis and management. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of the fixator-assisted nailing technique for managing femur neck fracture nonunion. This was a case series study of 16 patients with nonunion femoral neck fractures treated via a fixator-assisted nailing technique.

Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Saudi Red Crescent Experience Throughout COVID-19 Era.

Purpose: The quality of resuscitation for out hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) during the COVID-19 era could be affected. We aim to describe prehospital healthcare providers' resuscitative efforts for OHCA cases and their definitive outcomes.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included all OHCA cases between April and June 2021 across all regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Chronic Galeazzi Fracture-Dislocation: A Case Report.

Introduction: Galeazzi fracture-dislocation is a unique entity of forearm fractures since they involve a fracture of the radius shaft, along with the dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint, the gold standard of treatment for adults is open reduction and internal fixation with or without repair or pinning of the DRUJ.

Case Report: We present a case of a 27-year-old male with a neglected Galeazzi fracture for over 2 months, the patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation without the need of a salvage procedure and achieved excellent outcomes.

Conclusion: Galeazzi fractures are not uncommon, and any forearm fracture requires complete radiographic and clinical assessment to avoid dreadful complications of delayed management.
