Blueprint for the development of resuscitation and emergency critical care fellowships.

The volume of critically ill patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) is increasing rapidly. Continued growth will likely further stress an already strained U.S.

A taxonomy of key performance errors for emergency intubation.

Study Objective: Currently the videographic review of emergency intubations is an unstructured, qualitative process. We created a taxonomy of errors that impede the optimal procedural performance of emergency intubation.

Methods: This was a prospective, observational, study reviewing a convenience sample of deidentified laryngoscopy recordings of emergency department intubations that were qualitatively flagged before the study as demonstrating suboptimal technique.

Winter Walk.

Winter Walk is a photo essay meant to be an inspirational commentary on emergency medicine's role in meeting the needs of our most vulnerable patients. Oftentimes, the social determinants of health, now well reviewed in the modern medical school curriculum, become intangible concepts that get lost amongst the busy environment of the emergency department. The photos within this commentary are striking and will move readers in various ways.

Rare but Foreseeable: Rapidly Expanding Retropharyngeal Hematoma After Fall from Height.

Case Presentation: An elderly man presented to the emergency department after a fall from a 15-foot height. Initial examination revealed signs of head and neck trauma without airway compromise. Computed tomography imaging identified cervical fractures at the first and second level with a retropharyngeal hematoma.

60 seconds to survival: A pilot study of a disaster triage video game for prehospital providers.

Introduction: Disaster triage training for emergency medical service (EMS) providers is not standardized. Simulation training is costly and time-consuming. In contrast, educational video games enable low-cost and more time-efficient standardized training.
