Over a period of 10 months (august 1975 to may 1976), the authors observed 6 successive accidents during the Shirodkar manoeuvre during operations for sterility of tubal origin: 1) 4 cases involved disturbances in haemostasis only, clinical manifestations being seen in only one case. In the laboratory, these quite atypical manifestations suggested either fibrinolysis or disseminated intravascular coagulation. 2) In 2 cases there was cardiovascular collapse with cardiac arrest. In the first patient, cardiac arrest was followed by a period of coagulopathy quite similar to those seen previously. In the second case resuscitation failed, leading the authors to abandon use of the Shirodkar manoeuvre, which brought the study to an end. We are unable to provide any satisfactory pathological interpretation of these complications, thought two factors are worthy of consideration:--The hydrocortisone suspension used;--The uterine trauma related to peroperative manipulations.

Background: First responders exist in several countries and have been a prehospital emergency medical resource in Norwegian municipalities since 2010. However, the Norwegian system has not yet been studied. The aim of this study was to describe the first responder system in Central Norway and how it is used as a supplement to emergency medical services (EMS).

Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is commonly used for diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Despite a low complication rate, severe hemorrhage can occur which is reported in this literature, particularly in hypervascular conditions like Castleman disease.
Methods: A 54-year-old male with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease underwent EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymph node sampling.

The optimal duration of on-scene cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients remains uncertain. Determining this critical time period requires outweighing the potential risks associated with intra-arrest transport while minimizing delays in accessing definitive hospital-based treatments. This study evaluated the association between on-scene CPR duration and 30-day neurologically favorable survival based on the transport time interval (TTI) in patients with OHCA.

To evaluate the incidence and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Korean patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) comparing them to diabetes patients and the general population. This nationwide cohort study focused on incident SLE patients aged over 40 years, matched with diabetes patients and the general population (1:4:4 ratio). CVD was defined as ischaemic heart disease, ischaemic stroke, and cardiac arrest.

Objective: Frailty has become an increasingly recognized perioperative risk stratification tool. While frailty has been strongly correlated with worsening surgical outcomes, the individual determinants of frailty have rarely been investigated in the setting of aortic disease. The aim of this study was to examine the determinants of an 11-factor modified frailty index (mFI-11) on mortality and postoperative complications in patients undergoing endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).
