Early Intensive BP Reduction After ICH: Risk of...
In spontaneous ICH, hitting SBP ≤150 mm Hg within 2 hours of ED arrival was associated with worse functional outcomes at discharge (mRS 4–6). Overshooting (SBP <120 mm Hg within...

The Limit of Detection in the ED Trial (LEGEND)...
A limit-of-detection (LoD) hs-troponin strategy with shared decision-making safely rules out AMI and speeds ED flow. In patients with presentation hs-cTn ≤ 2 ng/L, the pathway shortened ED LOS, increased...

About 1 in 4 patients labeled “sepsis” (meeting Sepsis-3) likely had organ dysfunction from another cause (comorbidity flare or direct effect of infection), not a dysregulated host response. These “alternative...

Conclusions: After private equity (PE) acquisition, hospitals cut ED and ICU staffing expenditures and FTEs; this was associated with higher ED mortality, more transfers from EDs/ICUs, and shorter ICU LOS....

Medico-legal Risk in the Emergency Department
Conclusions: Medico-legal exposure is common and often unfavorable: >50% of ED-related complaints ended with an unfavorable outcome for the physician. Top risk drivers are “human factors” we can target: clinical...
