Article Synopsis
- The use of helicopters in Korea and Vietnam for medical evacuation led to the development of air ambulances, advancing emergency medical services.
- Yoseftal Hospital in Israel, lacking full ICU capabilities, received a dedicated helicopter in August 2021 to transport critical patients to specialized care, covering a considerable distance.
- The initial 100 missions revealed a variety of medical transfers, emphasizing the need for strong protocols and increased skills for paramedics on the aircraft to effectively manage diverse clinical situations.

Article Synopsis
- Corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are traditionally used as eye drops to control inflammation post-ocular surgery, but their effectiveness relies on patient compliance and technique.
- DEXYCU (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% is the first FDA-approved intraocular corticosteroid that offers sustained-release, allowing surgeons to directly administer the drug into the capsular bag after cataract surgery.
- This delivery method enhances control and safety during administration, minimizes contact with sensitive tissues, and the paper discusses existing literature and best practices for using this technique.
Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of a mobile laminar airflow (LAF) device designed to reduce both airborne particles and lint fibers within the sterile field during cataract surgery.
Setting: Cincinnati Eye Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Design: Prospective case series.
