Background

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) requires immediate intervention to optimize survival and neurological outcomes. Rapid recognition and treatment are critical, especially in prehospital settings.

Case Report

A 61-year-old female with a history of coronary artery disease suffered a witnessed cardiac arrest while riding a city bus. Bystanders activated Emergency Medical Services (EMS), who promptly initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Due to the patient’s proximity to a tertiary care STEMI center, EMS made the unconventional decision to continue resuscitative efforts en route using the city bus, bypassing traditional ambulance transport. Upon arrival, she underwent emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and achieved full neurological recovery.

Why Should an Emergency Physician Be Aware of This?

This case illustrates the importance of flexibility and innovation in prehospital care. However, it also highlights the need to balance innovation with adherence to EMS safety protocols and statutory requirements. Uninterrupted CPR, rapid defibrillation, and expedited transport—even via unconventional means—can dramatically impact outcomes in STEMI-related cardiac arrest, but such strategies must always be weighed against provider and patient safety.
st段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)引起的院外心脏骤停(OHCA)需要立即干预以优化生存和神经预后。快速识别和治疗至关重要,特别是在院前环境中。病例报告:一名61岁女性,有冠状动脉病史,在乘坐公交车时心脏骤停。旁观者启动紧急医疗服务(EMS),他们立即启动心肺复苏术(CPR)和除颤,实现了自然循环(ROSC)的恢复。由于患者靠近三级护理STEMI中心,EMS做出了非传统的决定,在使用城市公交车的途中继续进行复苏工作,绕过了传统的救护车运输。到达医院后,她接受了紧急经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI),神经系统完全恢复。急诊医生为什么要意识到这一点?这个案例说明了灵活性和创新在院前护理中的重要性。然而,它也强调了平衡创新与遵守EMS安全协议和法定要求的必要性。不间断的心肺复苏术、快速除颤和加速转运——即使是通过非常规手段——可以显著影响stemi相关心脏骤停的结果,但这些策略必须始终与提供者和患者的安全相权衡。

Background

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) continuously document treatment and patient condition information in the electronic prehospital medical record (ePMR) during care. Only selected information is communicated via telephone to the emergency department (ED) and the waiting ED team, potentially leading to loss of valuable information.

Objectives

To pilot-test whether implementing real-time, screen-based access to prehospital medical records before patient arrival enhances the ED team’s readiness.

Methods

Pilot study of implementing wall-mounted screens connected to the ePMR system in the ED trauma rooms in the North Denmark Regional Hospital. Three months before and four months after implementation, we measured the overall self-reported readiness of the ED team by questionnaires. The readiness rating was based on a visual analogue scale (VAS 0–15) and three sub-questions.

Results

We included 393 questionnaires (traumas N = 199, medical emergencies N = 194) corresponding to capture of 46% (141/307) of all events. For all questionnaires combined, overall readiness increased from a median of 7.1 (IQR 6.5–12.9) to 12.8 (IQR 9.7–14), p < 0.001. Stratified by event type, results persisted. Trauma: 7.1 (6.8–12.7) to 13.4 (9–14), p < 0.001; medical emergency: 7.1 (5.7–12.9) to 12.2 (9.7–13.9), p < 0.001.

Conclusions

Measured by questionnaires, we found that easy access to real-time EMS patient data, visualized on a screen in the trauma room before receiving patients with traumas or medical emergencies, significantly increases the overall self-reported readiness of the ED team members.

Trial registration

Background

As populations age, emergency department (ED) visits by older patients are rising, many of whom present in critically ill state. This trend necessitates frailty assessment in clinical decision-making to guide appropriate goals of care.

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) among critically ill older ED patients.

Methods

In this prospective cohort study at a South Korean tertiary hospital, patients aged ≥65 years with Korean Triage and Acuity Scale levels 1 or 2 were included and grouped by CFS scores: nonfrail (1–3), mildly frail (4–5), moderately frail (6), severely frail (7), and very severely frail (8). The primary outcome was 3-month mortality. Data were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).

Results

A cohort of 502 patients was analyzed (median age 78 years). The median CFS score was 5, with 73.8% classified as frail (CFS ≥ 4). The 3-month mortality rate was 29.0%. Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) for 3-month mortality were 1.97 (1.14–3.39) for CFS 6, 2.56 (1.51–4.32) for CFS 7, and 3.99 (2.03–7.86) for CFS 8. Adding CFS categories significantly improved 3-month mortality prediction (AUROC [95% CI] with CFS: 0.74 [0.69–0.79], without CFS: 0.70 [0.65–0.75], p = 0.003), although the overall predictive performance remained similar.

Conclusion

Higher CFS scores were significantly associated with increased 3-month mortality among critically ill older ED patients, highlighting the prognostic value of the CFS.
背景:随着人口老龄化,急诊科(ED)就诊的老年患者越来越多,其中许多患者处于危重状态。这种趋势需要在临床决策中进行虚弱评估,以指导适当的护理目标。目的:本研究旨在评价临床衰弱量表(CFS)在老年危重ED患者中的预后价值。方法:在韩国一家三级医院进行的这项前瞻性队列研究中,年龄≥65岁、韩国Triage和acute Scale等级为1级或2级的患者被纳入研究,并根据CFS评分进行分组:非虚弱(1-3)、轻度虚弱(4-5)、中度虚弱(6)、严重虚弱(7)和非常严重虚弱(8)。主要终点为3个月死亡率。采用Cox比例风险模型和受试者工作特征曲线下面积(AUROC)对数据进行分析。结果:分析了502例患者的队列(中位年龄78岁)。CFS评分中位数为5分,73.8%为虚弱(CFS≥4)。3个月死亡率为29.0%。CFS 6组3个月死亡率的风险比(95%可信区间[ci])为1.97 (1.14-3.39),CFS 7组为2.56 (1.51-4.32),CFS 8组为3.99(2.03-7.86)。添加CFS类别显著提高了3个月死亡率预测(有CFS的AUROC [95% CI]: 0.74[0.69-0.79],无CFS的AUROC [95% CI]: 0.70 [0.65-0.75], p = 0.003),尽管总体预测性能保持相似。结论:CFS评分越高,老年危重ED患者3个月死亡率越高,提示CFS的预后价值。

Background

The epidemiology of boxing-related upper extremity injuries in the United States (US) has been minimally described, with only one prior study examining data up to 2016.

Objective

To update and extend national estimates of these injuries through 2023, highlighting post-2016 trends and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

The National Electronic Surveillance System database was queried for upper extremity boxing-related injuries presenting to US emergency departments from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023. Injuries were categorized by body part, diagnosis, and disposition. National estimates (NE) were calculated based on each hospital's assigned statistical sample weight. Linear regression assessed trends over time.

Results

A total of 106,903 boxing-related upper extremity injuries were identified. The hand (48.3%), wrist (18.9%), and shoulder (14.2%) were the most commonly affected areas. Fractures were the most frequent diagnosis (26.4%), followed by strains/sprains (24.1%), other injuries (21.3%), and contusions/abrasions (17.9%). Only 3.3% of cases required hospital admission. Injury counts dropped sharply in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic (NE = 7282; p < 0.01 compared to pre-COVID years of 2014–2019), followed by a rebound in subsequent years, peaking in 2023 (NE = 13,258). Linear regression showed a nonsignificant annual decrease of 76 injuries over 10 years (p = 0.70; coefficient = −75.6; 95% CI: −508.7 to 357.5).

Conclusion

Boxing-related upper extremities most commonly involve the hand, with fractures representing the most common diagnosis. In conclusion, the rebound in injury rates in 2023, which diverges from the pre-COVID trend of gradual decline, warrants attention.
背景:美国(US)拳击相关上肢损伤的流行病学描述很少,只有一项先前的研究检查了截至2016年的数据。目标:更新和扩展到2023年的国家对这些伤害的估计,突出2016年后的趋势和COVID-19大流行的影响。方法:查询2014年1月1日至2023年12月31日在美国急诊科就诊的上肢拳击相关损伤的国家电子监测系统数据库。损伤按身体部位、诊断和处置进行分类。全国估计(NE)是根据每个医院分配的统计样本权重计算的。线性回归评估了随时间变化的趋势。结果:共发现106,903例与拳击相关的上肢损伤。手(48.3%)、手腕(18.9%)和肩膀(14.2%)是最常见的受累部位。骨折是最常见的诊断(26.4%),其次是拉伤/扭伤(24.1%),其他损伤(21.3%)和挫伤/擦伤(17.9%)。只有3.3%的病例需要住院。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,受伤人数在2020年急剧下降(NE = 7282;与2014-2019冠状病毒病前的年份相比,p < 0.01),随后几年出现反弹,并在2023年达到峰值(NE = 13258)。线性回归显示,10年内76例损伤每年无显著减少(p = 0.70;系数= -75.6;95% CI: -508.7 ~ 357.5)。结论:与拳击相关的上肢最常涉及手部,骨折是最常见的诊断。综上所述,2023年受伤率的反弹与疫情前逐渐下降的趋势有所不同,值得关注。

Background

Geriatric hip fractures are a commonly encountered in the emergency department (ED) with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Providing appropriate analgesia has many challenges, and the majority of patients require opioid medications for adequate pain control. Complications of opioids include delirium, respiratory depression, and constipation, among others. Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for hip fractures have emerged as an additional modality to utilize as part of a multimodal approach to analgesia.

Clinical Question

In older adults diagnosed with hip fractures in the ED, do ultrasound-guided nerve blocks improve patient-centered outcomes when compared with standard interventions, such as opioid analgesia?

Evidence Review

Three studies were reviewed: a systematic review and meta-analysis, a randomized controlled trial, and a prospective feasibility study.

Conclusion

Compared with standard ED management strategies for analgesia after hip fractures in adults, fascia iliaca compartment blocks do not reduce mortality. Single injection fascia iliaca compartment blocks appeared to improve delirium rates, though this effect was not seen on the included randomized controlled trial. Hospital length-of-stay and opioid use were decreased in patients who received nerve blocks for hip fractures. Some ED literature also supports using femoral nerve blocks as the blocks are feasible, effective, and safe.
背景:老年髋部骨折是急诊科(ED)的常见病,具有显著的发病率和死亡率。提供适当的镇痛有许多挑战,大多数患者需要阿片类药物来充分控制疼痛。阿片类药物的并发症包括谵妄、呼吸抑制和便秘等。超声引导神经阻滞治疗髋部骨折已成为多模式镇痛方法的一部分。临床问题:在急诊科诊断为髋部骨折的老年人中,与阿片类药物镇痛等标准干预措施相比,超声引导下的神经阻滞是否能改善以患者为中心的结果?证据回顾:回顾了三项研究:一项系统回顾和荟萃分析,一项随机对照试验和一项前瞻性可行性研究。结论:与成人髋部骨折后镇痛的标准ED管理策略相比,髂筋膜隔室阻滞不能降低死亡率。单次注射髂筋膜腔室阻滞似乎可以改善谵妄率,尽管在纳入的随机对照试验中没有看到这种效果。髋部骨折接受神经阻滞治疗的患者住院时间和阿片类药物使用减少。一些ED文献也支持使用股神经阻滞,因为这种阻滞是可行、有效和安全的。

Providing appropriate analgesia has many challenges, and the majority of patients require opioid medications for adequate pain control. Complications of opioids include delirium, respiratory depression, and constipation, among others. Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for hip fractures have emerged as an additional modality to utilize as part of a multimodal approach to analgesia.</div></div><div><h3>Clinical Question</h3><div>In older adults diagnosed with hip fractures in the ED, do ultrasound-guided nerve blocks improve patient-centered outcomes when compared with standard interventions, such as opioid analgesia?</div></div><div><h3>Evidence Review</h3><div>Three studies were reviewed: a systematic review and meta-analysis, a randomized controlled trial, and a prospective feasibility study.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Compared with standard ED management strategies for analgesia after hip fractures in adults, fascia iliaca compartment blocks do not reduce mortality. Single injection fascia iliaca compartment blocks appeared to improve delirium rates, though this effect was not seen on the included randomized controlled trial. Hospital length-of-stay and opioid use were decreased in patients who received nerve blocks for hip fractures. Some ED literature also supports using femoral nerve blocks as the blocks are feasible, effective, and safe.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":"80 ","pages":"Pages 81-90"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145573039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
