Amit Agrawal, Sanjeev Bhoi, Sagar Galw.ar, Ranabir Pal, Harsh Deora, Amrita Ghosh, Luis Rafael Moscote-SalazarJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2020 13(1):15-19 Any and all advances made by medical science cannot solve the problem of road traffic injuries (RTIs) in school-going children, especially if the only concerned people are those of the medical fraternity. Children are a vulnerable part of the traveling population and thus have been persistent due to the callous nature of the citizens and policy makers toward road safety and injury prevention. In our multicultural and multilingual country, there is a need f...

Maximizing learning and creativity: Understanding psychological safety in simulation-based learning
Fatimah LateefJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2020 13(1):5-14 Psychological safety refers to the belief that one can express oneself without fear of the negative consequences or feedback that their speech, comment, or action might generate. It is about the willingness of learners or workers in an organization, in expressing themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally. Psychological safety is very dynamic and will continue to evolve and change, with the interplay of a variety of external and internal factors affecting the individual, the organization, or the community. It is also closely linked to the cul...

Last breath in the emergency department
Conclusions: Cardiac- and sepsis-related causes of death, together accounted for most of the mortality. In patients with sepsis, the odds of death due to preventable causes were more than four times higher than those without preventable causes. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as an early diagnostic biomarker of acute kidney injury in snake bite
Conclusion: It is suggested to include estimation of plasma NGAL in the point of care testing, especially in emergency settings handling snakebite cases. However, more studies are recommended to find out its serial levels in snakebite cases following different kinds of snake envenomation with different clinical and laboratory manifestations in different age groups and gender belonging to different population so as to arrive at valid conclusions.

Is emergency department thoracotomy effective in trauma resuscitation ? The retrospective study of the emergency department thoracotomy in trauma patients at thammasat university hospital, Thailand
Conclusions: The ROSC rate of EDT in this study was 35%, but with no survival benefit. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that EDT serves as an effective life-saving procedure. However, EDT may play a significant role in treating extremis injured patients. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

The 2019 WACEM expert document on the framework for setting up a simulation centre
Fatimah Lateef, Shanqing Yin, Madhavi SuppiahJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2019 12(4):232-242 Almost every institution and academic medical center has its own simulation center today. It seems to have become a prerequisite and is incorporated into the guidelines of setting up new centers as well as in the upgrading and enhancement plans of existing institutions. In considering this, it is critical to consider the needs and demands of the healthcare population and staff the center will be serving. Setting up a simulation center is not an endeavor to be undertaken lightly. It entails a sustainable commitment in ...

Missile embolism from pulmonary vein to systemic circulation: Case report with systematic literature review
Radhikaraj C Govindaraju, Jagannath P KolwalkarJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2019 12(3):218-221 Missile embolism (ME) is a rare condition and was seen in 0.3% of gunshot wounds during the Vietnam War. It was first reported by Thomas Davis in 1834. ME occurs when a small caliber, slow velocity projectile penetrates a wall in the vasculature; loses its kinetic energy; and gets carried away along the bloodstream to occlude another vessel at a distant site. Civilian victims of low-velocity bullets account for 60% of such cases. ME can be arterial, venous, or paradoxical. Systemic arterial emb...
