Journal ArticleDOI
End-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring during procedural sedation.
TL;DR: The ETCO2 may add to the safety of PS by quickly detecting hypoventilation during PS in the ED by quickly detect subclinical RD not detected by pulse oximetry alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular and Physiologic Effects of Conducted Electrical Weapon Discharge in Resting Adults
TL;DR: The authors were unable to detect any induced electrical dysrhythmias or significant direct cardiac cellular damage that may be related to sudden and unexpected death proximal to CEW exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presentation, time to antibiotics, and mortality of patients with bacterial meningitis at an urban county medical center
TL;DR: The concept that the early administration of antibiotics in the ED may reduce mortality is supported and may be an explanation of the lower mortality rates seen here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bispectral electroencephalographic analysis of patients undergoing procedural sedation in the emergency department
TL;DR: Whether there is a correlation between the level of sedation achieved during procedural sedation (PS) in the emergency department as determined by bispectral electroencephalographic (EEG) analysis (BIS) and the rate of respiratory depression (RD), the patient's perception of pain, recall of the procedure, and satisfaction is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prehospital ultrasound by paramedics: results of field trial.
TL;DR: This pilot study shows that with close supervision, paramedics can adequately obtain and interpret prehospital FAST and AA US images under protocol and support a growing body of literature that indicates US may be feasible and useful in the prehospital setting.
