Established evidence-based treatment guidelines help mitigate disparities in quality of emergency care.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-standing, nationally reported evidence-based guidelines can help eliminate sex and race/ethnicity disparities in quality of care. When providers know their care is being monitored and reported, their implicit biases may be less likely to impact care. PMID: 33599040 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Concomitant Aspirin and Anticoagulation Is Associated With Increased Risk for Major Bleeding in Surgical Patients Requiring Postoperative Intensive Care*
Conclusions: Concomitant aspirin and anticoagulation in critically ill surgical patients was associated with an increased rate of major bleeding. Future investigations are warranted to further define optimal management of antiplatelet therapy during anticoagulation in surgical patients.

Evaluation of Nonfatal Strangulation in Alert Adults
ConclusionAlert, strangled patients had a low rate of injuries. All patients with neck injuries had concerning findings besides neck pain; specifically, GCS score less than 15 or dysphagia. Our findings suggest, but do not prove, that a selective imaging strategy is safe in alert patients after strangulation findings besides neck pain.

Not Just Acid Reflux: The Need to Think Worst First
Discussion Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.1 This year, 720,000 Americans will have a new coronary event—defined as first hospitalized myocardial infarction (MI) or coronary heart disease death—and around 335,000 will have a recurrent event. Approximately 35% of people who experience a coronary event in a given year and around 14% of patients who have an acute coronary syndrome will die from it.1 Roughly 60% of patients with an acute coronary syndrome are transported to the emergency department via ambulance.2–4. Up to one-third of patients experiencing an MI may not complain of chest...

Carotid Dissection and Cerebral Infarction From Posterior Oropharyngeal Trauma: The Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges
Posterior oropharyngeal trauma commonly occurs in children and frequently presents to the emergency department (ED). Rarely, serious infectious and neurologic sequelae result. Emergency providers are tasked with the challenge of diagnosing the minority with life-threatening complications while maintaining thoughtful stewardship regarding radiation exposure. A previously healthy 2-year-old girl sustained trauma to her posterior oropharynx with a toothbrush that resulted in a left carotid dissection. This dissection was diagnosed in the ED via computed tomography angiogram, Otolaryngology and neurosurgery were consulted in t...

Clinical Performance Measures that Matter —Are You Ready?
Ask EMS professionals to define “quality in EMS” and you may get a tip of the head and an answer like, “Well, I’m not sure, but I know it when I see it.” In today’s healthcare environment, demonstrating quality is crucial. Payers are increasingly linking payment to outcome and quality, and becoming less interesting in paying for services that don’t add value or are quality-based.1 Historically, EMS has struggled operationalizing quality-based metrics. EMS Compass and the new National EMS Quality Alliance are attempting to get quality measures for EMS launched, and more importantly, adopted by payers and other...

A Case of Lenticulostriate Stroke Due to Minor Closed Head Injury in a 2-Year-Old Child: Role of Mineralizing Angiopathy
Conclusions Some infants can present with the onset of stroke-like symptoms after minor head injuries. Presence of linear calcifications of the basal ganglia noticed on brain computed tomography in many of these patients suggests that mineralizing angiopathy may be a predisposing factor for lenticulostriate stroke after minor closed head injury in infants. Brain magnetic resonance imaging to further delineate possible cerebral infarction is indicated.
