Resuscitation: Incidence and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest from initial asystole: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Dhiraj Bhatia Dwivedi 1, Jocasta Ball 2, Karen Smith 3, Ziad Nehme 4 Affiliations Expand Abstract Aim: To examine global variation in the incidence and outcomes of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) attended and treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) from initial asystole. Data sources: We systematically reviewed electronic databases for studies between 1990 and August
ECG Analysis – AI vs. Emergency Doc?
Written by Catherine Burger Comparing the accuracy of ECG interpretation between Emergency Medicine Providers (EMP) and 3 separate AI models, EMPs narrowly took the lead. Who does it better… humans or AI? This study involved 30 practitioners certified by the Turkish Minister of Health, each with 5–10 years of experience
Can POCUS Improve Rhythm Identification and Outcomes in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests?
Michael E. Billington, MD, reviewing Gaspari R et al. Ann Emerg Med 2025 Jun 30 Point-of-care ultrasound early in cardiac arrest detected previously unidentified shockable rhythms, but outcomes didn’t improve. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are used in every step of cardiac arrest resuscitation algorithms. However, during resuscitation, ECG artifacts or misinterpretations can lead to inaccurate rhythm
TRAUMA: Traumatic pneumothorax and hemothorax: What you need to know
Jacqueline J Blank 1, Marc A de Moya Affiliations Expand Abstract Abstract: Thoracic trauma occurs in approximately 25% of all traumas, and one third of these patients will present with a pneumothorax, hemothorax, or a combination of the two.

Emergency medicine updates: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Brit Long 1, Michael Gottlieb 2 Affiliations Expand Abstract Introduction: Cardiac arrest is the loss of functional cardiac activity; emergency clinicians are integral in the management of this condition. Objective: This paper evaluates key evidence-based updates concerning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Discussion: Cardiac arrest includes shockable rhythms (i.e., pulseless ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation) and non-shockable rhythms
