Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure (CHF), and acute pulmonary edema (APE) are serious illnesses that often require acute care from prehospital emergency medical services (EMSs). These respiratory diseases that cause acute respiratory failure (ARF) are one of the main reasons for hospitalization and death, generating high health care costs. The prevalence of the main respiratory diseases treated in a prehospital environment in the prepandemic period and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain is unknown.

Visual outcomes of central retinal artery occlusion: Exploring treatment strategies beyond the conventional time window.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China; Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China. Electronic address:

Backgrounds/aims: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a vision-devastating emergency. However, widely-acknowledged treatment consensus is lacking and prehospital delays commonly occur. Hence, we aimed to investigate the visual outcomes of conservative treatments (CT), local intra-arterial fibrinolysis (LIF) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for non-arteritic CRAO (NA-CRAO) patients beyond the conventional time window.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the associations between hypothermia and mortality or poor neurological outcome in a nationwide cohort of drowning patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods: This nationwide, registry-based cohort study reported in-hospital data on drowning patients with OHCA following the Utstein Style For Drowning. Drowning patients with OHCA were identified in the Danish Cardiac Arrest Registry from 2016 to 2021.

Magnetic Induction Phase Difference for Cerebral Hemorrhage Detection.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Army Medical University, The Third Military Medical University, Chongqing 400038, China.

Magnetic induction phase shift is a promising technology for the detection of cerebral hemorrhage, owing to its nonradioactive, noninvasive, and real-time detection properties. To enhance the detection sensitivity and linearity, a zero-flow sensor was proposed. The uniform primary magnetic field and its counteraction were achieved.

Objective Prior studies have described the patterns of emergency medical service (EMS) activations in national parks in the United States. However, little data exists regarding EMS activations in local and regional outdoor recreational locations. We performed a retrospective analysis of EMS activations originating from parks and recreational areas in suburban Howard County, Maryland, to characterize those activations determined to be time-critical emergencies.
