Crit Care Resusc. 2023 Dec 14;26(1):54-57. doi: 10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.11.008. eCollection 2024 Mar.ABSTRACTThe population of children requiring intensive care in Victoria has increased and changed markedly since the 1990s, the result of many epidemiological, demographic, and social changes, and this is more evident during and after the Covid pandemic. The model of ultra-centralised paediatric intensive care services in the 1990s is not sufficient for the current era, and services are under daily pressure. Solutions will take time and need to be wide-ranging, including increased critical care capacity in selected regional cen...

The purpose of the study was to assess the feas...

SARS-CoV-2 immunity and reasons for non-vaccination among healthcare workers from eastern and northern Switzerland: results from a nested multicentre cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Almost all healthcare workers in our cohort had specific antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 from natural infection and/or from vaccination. Young healthcare workers and those working in non-acute settings were less likely to be vaccinated, whereas physicians and administrative staff showed higher vaccination uptake. Presumed ineffectiveness of the vaccine is an important reason for non-vaccination.PMID:38689545 | DOI:10.57187/s.3734 (Source: Swiss Medical Weekly)

Substance Use Disorders and Addiction in the Emergency Care Setting
According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, substance use disorder (SUD) is described as a “cluster of cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms indicating that the individual continues to use alcohol, nicotine, and/or other drugs despite significant related problems” (the American Society of Addiction Medicine national practice guideline for the treatment of opioid use disord er: 2020 focused update, 2020, p. 7).

Trauma Diamond of Death: Adding Calcium to the Lethal Triad
In trauma patients, the triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy has been shown to cause an increase in morbidity and mortality. This lethal combination was first named the “bloody vicious cycle” in 1982 by the American Trauma Society when it was noted that the triad caused worsening hemorrhage and death.1 The triad is now used as the basis for damage control resuscitation in critically ill trauma patients.

Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST): More Common Than You Think
The number of anesthetic body procedures in the United States is rapidly increasing, with many being performed on an outpatient basis. These procedures are advertised as being safe, and many times the serious complications may not be discussed. Although local anesthetic systemic toxicity is a rare complication, it is associated with an increase in morbidity. The emergency department staff should be aware of the possibility of this rare complication, as well as the variety of resulting symptoms (from minor to severe), potential sequelae, and appropriate management for patients who have undergone an outpatient anesthetic bod...

Where Is the Humanity for Nurses? A Love Letter to My Fellow Nurse
Ask any nurse why they chose this profession and an altruistic vision to care for others usually follows or a heart-centered story is shared, yet the type of collateral paid in efforts to provide patient care often leaves nurses experiencing moral distress, post-traumatic stress disorder, burnout, and even suicide.1,2 To cope, nurses learn how to shift into survival mode1 through a process of depersonalization,2 making way for feelings of numbness and emptiness. Particularly in emergency nursing, an endless barrage of patients, many critical and sometimes violent, leaves nurses in a consistent state of high alert that requ...

The Leader Behind. How Can Someone Who Is Behind Lead Effectively, You Ask? Well, Let Us Chat
Professor Linda Hill1 writes in the Harvard Business Review that “leading from behind does not mean abrogating your leadership responsibilities. The shepherd makes sure that the flock stays together.” Shepherds nudge and prod if the flock strays. (Source: Journal of Emergency Nursing: JEN)
