Epinephrine has been a cornerstone in the management of cardiac arrest for decades, with its use deeply ingrained in resuscitation protocols worldwide. Despite its widespread use, the precise impact of epinephrine on outcomes in cardiac arrest, particularly in terms of survival and neurological...

A systematic approach to endotracheal intubation is crucial due to its impact on patient outcomes and safety. Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure performed in various medical settings, especially in critical care scenarios. Several studies highlight the significance of a systematic...

Prehospital blood administration in pediatric trauma patients is crucial due to its potential to improve outcomes by addressing hemorrhagic shock early in the care continuum. While prehospital blood transfusion in pediatric trauma cases is not yet a common practice, studies have highlighted the...

Strong Ionic Difference (SID) is a concept used to understand and predict the behavior of pH in biological systems, particularly in human physiology. It is related to the concept of acid-base balance in the body.
The SID is calculated as the difference between the sum of strong cations...

The Efficacy of the IGel Supraglottic Airway in Cardiac Arrest Patients Introduction:

Effective airway management is a critical component of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during cardiac arrest. Traditional endotracheal intubation (ETI) has long been considered the gold...

The Use of Intravenous Saline in Human Patients: A Detrimental Practice
Abstract
Intravenous (IV) saline solutions have been a mainstay in medical practice for decades, used for fluid resuscitation, electrolyte replacement, and other purposes. However, mounting evidence suggests that...

Vaccine Efficacy: In human trials, the Pfizer vaccine was compared to a placebo in 43,448 people. During the study, 170 participants developed COVID-19. When the study blind was broken, it was revealed that 162 of these people had received the placebo. Only eight were in the vaccine group. Of 10...

The odds of surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are significantly better when resuscitation efforts are continued on scene, as opposed to being performed while the patient is being transported to the hospital, a large observational study has found.
The process of moving a patient...
