Background: Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of pediatric death and disability. A clinical scale adapted for children can ensure early detection of candidates for urgent acute ischemic stroke treatment. The Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE) scale for adults, which scores 5 items (facial palsy 0-2; arm motor function 0-2; leg motor function 0-2; head/gaze deviation 0-1; and aphasia or agnosia 0-2), has good sensitivity and specificity in detecting large vessel occlusion.

- The study investigates the relationship between CPR practices and ribcage injuries, identifying key risk factors contributing to severe damage during resuscitation.
- Data were gathered from 200 out-of-hospital CPR attempts, revealing that a significant 65% of patients suffered serious ribcage injuries, with age and cardiac mass ratio as major influencing factors.
- The findings suggest that understanding the heart's role in CPR biomechanics is crucial, highlighting the importance of cardiac mass ratio as a significant risk factor for injuries during CPR.
Objectives: To study prehospital care process in relation to hospital outcomes in stroke-code cases first attended by 2 different levels of ambulance. To analyze factors associated with a satisfactory functional outcome at 3 months.
Material And Methods: Prospective multicenter observational cohort study.
Objective: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a risk scale (MARIACHI) for patients classified as non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) in a prehospital setting with the ability to identify patients at an increased risk of mortality at an early stage.
Methods: A retrospective observational study conducted in Catalonia over two periods: 2015-2017 (development and internal validation cohort) and Aug 2018-Jan 2019 (external validation cohort). We included patients classified as prehospital NSTEACS, assisted by an advanced life support unit and requiring hospital admission.
