Bag-valve mask (BVM) ventilation is a crucial technique in emergency situations for providing manual ventilation to patients with respiratory distress. However, failures in BVM ventilation can occur due to incorrect rates, pressures, and volumes applied during the procedure. Several studies...

Heat exhaustion is a serious condition that can result from exposure to high temperatures, leading to symptoms such as dehydration, electrolyte disorders, and acute renal failure (Knowlton et al., 2009). It is crucial to differentiate heat exhaustion from more severe conditions like heat stroke,...

Heat exhaustion can result from inadequate fluid intake, leading to dehydration and increased core temperatures (Hubbard et al., 1984). The choice between oral or intravenous (IV) fluids for treating heat exhaustion depends on the individual's hydration and perfusion status (Macintire, 2008)....

Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR) is a crucial approach in managing critically injured trauma patients, particularly those with severe bleeding and airway management considerations. DCR involves a combination of damage control surgery, permissive hypotension, and hemostatic resuscitation. The...

To enhance cardiac arrest outcomes, various interventions have been identified in the literature. One crucial intervention is the implementation of a standardized treatment protocol that includes early percutaneous coronary intervention, temperature management, and aggressive control of hemodynamic...

Resuscitation in traumatic cardiac arrest has been a topic of debate regarding its effectiveness and outcomes. While some studies suggest that attempted resuscitation from traumatic cardiac arrest may be futile (Smith et al., 2015; Abdou et al., 2021), others indicate that survival with good...

Opioids and benzodiazepines should be avoided for sedation due to the dangerous synergistic effects they can have on respiratory depression. When benzodiazepines are combined with opioids, they can potentiate the respiratory depressant effects of opioids (Sun et al., 2017). This combination can...
