Interaction Effects Between COVID-19 Outbreak and Fever on Mortality Among OHCA Patients Visiting Emergency Departments.
Medicina (Kaunas)

Department of Emergency Medicine, Chonnam National University Hospital, Gwangju 61468, Republic of Korea.
: Fever in patients who have suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has been linked to poor clinical outcomes, as a fever can exacerbate neurological damage, increase metabolic demands, and trigger inflammatory responses. This study evaluates the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and associated fevers on OHCA outcomes and examines how they can worsen patient prognosis. : Our retrospective observational analysis used data from the National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS), comprising adult OHCA patients at 402 EDs in Korea between 27 January and 31 December 2020 (COVID-19 pandemic period) and the corresponding period in 2019 (pre-COVID-19).

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
Diphenhydramine Overdose: A Case Report and Topic Review of Prehospital Diagnosis and Treatment.

Diphenhydramine (DPH), a readily available first-generation H1 receptor antihistamine, can have severe consequences when taken in excessive amounts and can lead to grave outcomes such as seizures, dysrhythmias, coma, and death. Recognizing the early signs and symptoms of DPH toxicity is crucial. Fortunately, fatal adult cases of DPH overdose are rare.

Introduction: The BE-ALIVE score is an additive scoring system for estimating 30-day mortality in patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) [1]. However, it had only previously been tested on an internal validation cohort. The aim was to assess the scoring system on an external validation cohort.

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Hyogo Emergency Medical Center, 1-3-1 Wakinohamakaigandori, Chuo-Ku, Kobe, Hyogo, 651-0073, Japan.
Objective: The association between fluid balance and outcomes in patients who underwent out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) remains unknown. We aimed to examine the above relationship during the first 24 h following intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of the SAVE-J II study, a retrospective multicenter study involving OHCA patients aged ≥ 18 years treated with ECPR between 2013 and 2018 and who received fluid therapy following ICU admission.
