Advanced airway management: a descriptive analysis of complications and factors associated with first-attempt intubation failure in prehospital emergency care.

Objectives: To analyze the characteristics of prehospital emergency airway management, including complications; to explore predictors of first-attempt failure of orotracheal intubation.

Material And Methods: Observational retrospective cohort study of patients requiring orotracheal intubation by the prehospital emergency services of Castile-La Mancha between June 1, 2017, and January 1, 2021. We analyzed patient and procedure characteristics and complications using logistic regression analysis to detect factors that could predict firstattempt intubation failure.

Mobile Intensive Care Unit versus Hospital walk-in patients, in the treatment of first episode ST- elevation myocardial infarction.

Objective: To determine the impact of the attention given by emergency medical services teams working in mobile intensive care units (MICU) versus patients arriving at the hospital under their own means with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) event in terms of time to reperfusion (TR), mortality at 30 days and six months.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 634 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent primary a percutaneous coronary intervention from January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2018 in a single centre. Depending on the first medical contact patients were classified into two groups, MICU versus walk-in patients.

[Emergency treatment for traumatic cardiac arrest: prognostic factors and hospital outcome].

Objectives: To identify prehospital and on-arrival factors associated with hospital outcome in patients with traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) discharged with recovered spontaneous circulation from the emergency department.

Material And Methods: Multipurpose prospective cohort study of patients with TCA who recovered after treatment at a tertiary care hospital emergency department between 2003 and 2016. We gathered data on epidemiologic variables, type and cause of injuries, and prehospital and hospital emergency care.

Short- and long-term prognosis of critically-ill patients referred to the ICU from the Emergency Department of a tertiary hospital.

Background And Objective: A frequent source of critically-ill patients admitted to the ICU is the Emergency Department. It is essential to analyse the short-term prognosis of these patients, but also their evolution after their discharge from the hospital, since this is one of the major concerns of these patients. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of patients admitted to the ICU from the Emergency Department and to analyse their outcome.
