2016: Emergency Medical Services Annotated Literature in Review
In the daily practice of emergency medicine, physicians constantly interact with components of emergency medical services (EMS) systems. The provision of high quality care in the prehospital setting requires emergency physicians to remain abreast of recent literature that may inform the care of patients prior to their arrival at the emergency department. This literature review will examine some recent trends in the prehospital literature, including cardiac arrest care, trauma, myocardial infarction, and stroke.

Brugada electrocardiogram pattern induced by cannabis; is cannabis safe?
The objective of this study was to present a case report that brings attention to relationship between cannabis consumption and Brugada electrocardiogram pattern. Here, we present a case of a 19-year-old male patient with symptomatic Brugada electrocardiogram pattern induced after cannabis consumption. With the potential for more widespread legalization of cannabis, several studies are raising the issue of adverse vascular effects of cannabis, including myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, cardiomyopathy, stroke, transient ischemic attack, and cannabis arteritis.

Patient, provider, and environmental factors associated with adherence to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular clinical practice guidelines in the emergency department
Myocardial infarction and stroke are two of the leading causes of death in the U.S. Both diseases have clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) specific to the emergency department (ED) that improve patient outcomes. Our primary objectives were to estimate differences in ED adherence across CPGs for these diseases and identify patient, provider, and environmental factors associated with adherence.
