The identification, triage, and extrication of casualties followed by on-scene management and transport to an appropriate hospital after mass casualty incidents can be complicated, delivered to variable standards, and add significant delays to care. An effective pre-hospital pathway can both increase the chances of survival of individual patients and significantly influence the effectiveness of the entire emergency response.

Prehospital emergency care is the primary stage in the treatment of critically ill patients, where efficient and accurate monitoring methods are crucial for patient survival and prognosis. End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO) monitoring is a real-time, non-invasive method that can sensitively capture the status of respiratory, circulatory, and metabolic functions, particularly in the urgent and complex pre-hospital environment, a immediate detection and non-invasive method, can sensitively capture the respiratory, circulatory, and metabolic status of patients. It provides valuable guidance for rapid decision-making and precise interventions.

: Exsanguination is a leading cause of preventable death in military and civilian settings due to extensive blood loss and hemorrhagic shock, which trigger systemic effects such as impaired tissue perfusion, hypoxia, inflammation, and multi-organ dysfunction. Standard resuscitation restores blood volume but fails to address critical aspects of hemorrhagic shock, including inflammation, coagulopathy, and reperfusion injury. To address these limitations, novel phospholipid nanoparticle (PNP)-based resuscitative fluids, VBI-S and VBI-1, were developed to modulate nitric oxide (NO) levels, improving hemodynamic stability, tissue oxygenation, and reducing inflammatory injury.

Article Synopsis
- Immediate recognition and prompt action during cardiac arrest, such as CPR and defibrillation, are crucial for survival, but the quality of CPR by bystanders can vary significantly.
- Video-assisted CPR (V-CPR) was introduced in Norway to enhance the effectiveness of dispatchers’ guidance, thereby improving CPR quality performed by laypersons.
- In a specific case involving a 58-year-old man with a cardiac arrest, two untrained bystanders received vital assistance via V-CPR, demonstrating its importance in managing complex situations and enabling high-quality CPR without the need for rescue breaths before emergency medical services arrived.
Benefits of targeted deployment of physician-led interprofessional pre-hospital teams on the care of critically Ill and injured patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Advanced pre-hospital care systems are increasingly utilizing interprofessional teams, which include physicians, to improve decision-making and patient transport.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated various studies, ultimately narrowing down to 23 articles that met inclusion criteria for analysis.
- Results showed that patients receiving care from these interprofessional teams had a significantly lower mortality risk and higher survival rates compared to those treated solely by paramedics.
Characteristics of snakebite patients due to Naja samarensis in the Philippines: a prospective hospital-based study.

School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health, Nagasaki University, Nagasaki 852-8102, Japan.
Background: Little is known about snakebites by Naja samarensis, a species unique to the Philippines. The aim here is to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients bitten by this medically important cobra in the Eastern Visayas.
Methods: A hospital-based prospective study analysed the features of snakebite patients attending Eastern Visayas Medical Center between June 2022 and May 2023.
