View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Recent literature suggests pain management and sedation in ED patients after rapid sequence intubation are done inconsistently, which impacts patient outcomes negatively. The purpose of this study is to compare rates and timing of post-intubation analgesia and sedation before and after an ED pharmacy practice improvement intervention.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of adult ED patients intubated over an 18-month period.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-reported indicators of low energy availability (LEA-I) and race performance as well as medical incidents during the Boston Marathon.
- A survey of 1,030 runners revealed a higher prevalence of LEA-I in females (42.5%) compared to males (17.6%), with athletes experiencing LEA-I performing worse in terms of race times and placement.
- The findings indicated that runners with LEA-I had significantly increased risks of medical encounters during the race, underscoring the negative impacts of low energy availability on marathon performance and health.
