Purpose Of Review: Extremes of blood pressure (BP) are common among patients that visit emergency departments. In this review article, we discuss the specific indications for invasive blood pressure monitoring in the ED, particularly in the context of undifferentiated shock and hypertensive emergencies.
Recent Findings: In most cases, non-invasive techniques suffice for blood pressure monitoring, however, in certain patient presentations intermittent automated oscillometry bears significant drawbacks.
Background: The Russian invasion of Ukraine has driven millions of Ukrainians away from their homes. Among these, the majority have likely experienced war-related potentially traumatic events, and some will experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aims of the study are to estimate the prevalence of PTSD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD) in displaced Ukrainians and examine associations between war- and other potentially traumatic exposures and (C)PTSD.
