Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a major health issue in emergency departments, with sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) being a serious complication, and rosuvastatin may help protect against this condition.
- In a study involving sepsis patients, those treated with rosuvastatin showed a significantly lower incidence of SAE compared to a placebo group (32.1% vs. 57.1%).
- However, the rosuvastatin group experienced higher creatine kinase levels, indicating a potential for adverse effects despite the neuroprotective benefits.
Background: A national standardized emergency medicine (EM) curriculum for medical students, including specific competencies in procedural skills, are absent in many countries. The development of an intensive simulating training program in EM, based on a tight schedule, is anticipated to enhance the competency of medical students.
Methods: A 3-day intensive EM training program, consisting of four procedural skills and 8-hour case-based learning (CBL), was developed by experienced physicians from the EM department in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH).
