The management of critical hypothermia in patients requires a multifaceted approach that integrates various advanced life support techniques. Hypothermia can lead to severe physiological disturbances, including cardiac arrest, necessitating prompt and effective interventions. Current advanced life...

Heatstroke is a critical medical emergency characterized by a rapid increase in body temperature, often exceeding 40°C (104°F), and is associated with severe physiological disturbances. Prehospital treatment of heatstroke patients is crucial for improving outcomes and reducing morbidity and...

Esmolol, a short-acting beta-blocker, is increasingly recognized for its role in managing severe hypertension, particularly in the context of acute aortic dissection (AAD). Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition characterized by a tear in the aortic intima, leading to the separation of...

The management of neurologically intact survival in critical care drowning patients is a multifaceted approach that emphasizes early intervention, appropriate resuscitation techniques, and post-resuscitation care. The literature indicates several key strategies that can significantly improve...

The SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Repeat-Back Recommendation/Request) communication tool is a structured method for conveying critical information succinctly and effectively, particularly in healthcare settings. Developed by the United States Navy and later adapted for healthcare, SBAR...

Debriefing techniques in medical simulation play a crucial role in enhancing the educational experience of healthcare professionals. The process of debriefing serves as a structured reflection period following simulation exercises, allowing participants to analyze their performance, receive...

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is often regarded as a more accurate measure for assessing perfusion compared to Blood Pressure (BP) due to its direct correlation with perfusion pressure across various organ systems. MAP is defined as the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle,...

A right-sided 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed in specific clinical scenarios, particularly when there is a suspicion of right ventricular (RV) involvement in myocardial infarction or other cardiac conditions. The standard 12-lead ECG primarily focuses on the left side of the heart,...

The impact of social media on mental health has garnered significant attention in recent years, with various studies highlighting both negative and positive effects. A substantial body of research indicates that excessive social media use is associated with adverse mental health outcomes,...
