Conclusions: Emergency physician-performed POCUS demonstrated moderate agreement with cardiologist-interpreted echocardiography for detecting right ventricular dysfunction in patients with pulmonary embolism. POCUS was more specific than sensitive, meaning a clearly abnormal...

Conclusions: An ED-based Emergency Critical Care Program (ECCP) significantly increased the number of patients initially admitted to the MICU who could be safely downgraded to a non-ICU service within six...

Conclusions: CT use rises with age—and so does CT yield: older adults get more CTs, and those CTs are more often actionable/positive. The abdominal exam is less helpful in older...

Overcrowding Indicators in EDs Across Countries...
Conclusions: There’s still no global “standard dashboard” for ED crowding—studies use a wide mix of indicators, limiting benchmarking and policy comparisons. Internationally, crowding measurement is dominated by throughput metrics, especially...

On the Optimal Sodium Correction Rate in Hypona...
Conclusions: Across retrospective data, faster sodium correction (vs slower) was associated with lower mortality—even when “rapid” was defined at >8, >10, or >12 mmol/L per 24h. The tradeoff: ODS is...

Start PO when you can: stable kid, tolerating PO, no red flags, no need for IV access → PO metoclopramide can spare IV placement and may shorten throughput. IV still...
