Background: During 4 months of the severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, nurses in a pediatric emergency department (ED) used surgical and clear face masks in triage. This study aimed to find out if the type of face mask influenced children's reports of pain.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of the pain scores of all patients aged 3-15 years who visited the ED during the 4-month period was performed.
Background: Rapid decline in antibody-titres after BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine was reported; thus, a booster dose, and recently a second booster were approved. The study aims to discuss immunogenicity throughout the pandemic, especially after booster dose.
Methods: A prospective study conducted in EMMS-Nazareth hospital, Israel.
Background: No study has examined the performance of emergency department (ED) nurses in establishing intraosseous access (IO) access. This study aimed to evaluate ED nurses' success rate in establishing pediatric IO access using semiautomatic devices.
Methods: A randomized crossover simulation study was conducted.
Background: The effect of anemia in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) on morbidity and mortality is known. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of mild anemia on hospitalization and 1-year all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with Stage 1 and 2 CKD.
Methods: Hospitalized T2DM patients (n = 307) with a glomerular filtration rate ≥ 60 mL/min per 1.
