Factors Associated with Postintubation Hypotension Among Patients with Suspected Sepsis in Emergency Department.

Purpose: Postintubation hypotension (PIH) is a recognized complication that increases both in-hospital mortality and hospital length of stay. Sepsis is reportedly a factor associated with PIH. However, no study to date has examined which factors, including the intubation method, may be clinical predictors of PIH in patients with sepsis.

Effect of mini-course training in communication and teamwork on non-technical skills score in emergency residents: a prospective experimental study.

Background: Non-technical skill (NTS) teaching is a recent development in medical education that should be applied in medical education, especially in medical specialties that involve critically ill patients, resuscitation, and management, to promote patient safety and improve quality of care. Our study aimed to compare the effects of mini-course training in NTS versus usual practice among emergency residents.

Methods: In this prospective (non-randomized) experimental study, emergency residents in the 2021-2022 academic year at Ramathibodi Hospital, a tertiary care university hospital, were included as participants.

Early Use of Norepinephrine in Septic Shock Resuscitation (CENSER). A Randomized Trial.

Recent retrospective evidence suggests the efficacy of early norepinephrine administration during resuscitation; however, prospective data to support this assertion are scarce. To conduct a phase II trial evaluating the hypothesis that early low-dose norepinephrine in adults with sepsis with hypotension increases shock control by 6 hours compared with standard care. This single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.

The RAMA Ped Card: Does it work for actual weight estimation in child patients at the emergency department.

Background: In emergency conditions, the actual weight of infants and young children are essential for treatments. The RAMATHIBODI Pediatric Emergency Drug Card or RAMA Ped Card has also been developed to estimate actual weight of the subjects. This study aimed to validate the RAMA Ped Card in correctly identifying the actual weight of infants and young adults.

Is retrograde intubation more successful than direct laryngoscopic technique in difficult endotracheal intubation?

Background: Difficult airway intubation is an emergency condition both at the emergency department (ED) and in out-of-hospital situations. Retrograde intubation (RI) is another option for difficult airway management. There are limited data regarding the successful rate of RI compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL) intubation, the commonly used method in the ED.
