Tranexamic acid minimized perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery
Dr. Menon Clinical question: Does tranexamic acid reduce the incidence of life-threatening perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery without increasing the risk of major cardiovascular adverse events? Background: Large surgical trials have shown that tranexamic acid reduces the incidence and severity of perioperative bleeding in patients undergoing a cesarean section or cardiac surgery. Other, smaller trials have suggested similar findings with tranexamic acid in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery as well. But, there are limited data on the use of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing non-ortho...

Sodium-containing Acetaminophen Intake Increases the Risk of CVD and All-cause Mortality
Dr. Hoque Clinical question: Does the use of sodium-containing acetaminophen increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in patients with and without a history of hypertension when compared to non-sodium-containing acetaminophen? Background: There is a common misconception that excess sodium intake comes primarily from dietary sources. The excipients of common over-the-counter medications such as some formulations of acetaminophen may contain significant amounts of sodium. For example, a 500-mg dose of soluble acetaminophen contains 390 mg of sodium, and a 500-mg dose of effervescent acetamin...

Hospital Closures Pose Challenges to Care
Empty beds in a hospital room. When 10-bed Nye Regional Medical Center, in west-central Nevada, closed abruptly in 2015, it meant that the residents of the former gold-mining town of Tonopah would have to drive about two hours across a hundred miles of desert roads to get to the nearest hospital.  The hospital’s CEO, Wayne Allen, didn’t sugar-coat it. “This is a decision that will ultimately jeopardize the health and well-being of our community and surrounding areas,” he said. Hospital closures over the last decade—most notably in rural areas and in pediatrics, but urban closures as well—have left patients wi...

Rivaroxaban Monotherapy is Preferable to Combination Therapy with Antiplatelets with Regards to Total Cardiovascular and Bleeding Events in Patients with AF and Stable CAD
In this study conducted across 294 centers, 2,215 patients were randomly assigned to rivaroxaban monotherapy, or therapy with rivaroxaban in combination with aspirin or a P2Y12 inhibitor. All patients were diagnosed with AF with a CHADS2 score greater than one, as well as confirmed CAD without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting within 12 months. Primary endpoints were the total number of first and subsequent bleeding and thrombotic events over a 24-month follow-up period. Thrombotic events included ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, and unstable angina requir...

Syncope Evaluation: Evidence-Based and Economical
This study eliminated low-risk syncope patients and those with non-syncope transient loss of consciousness, such as seizure and head trauma, using a structured approach in the emergency department (ED), with only high-risk syncope patients being admitted. These high-risk syncope patients made up 28% of the patients included in the study. After admission, a simplified Wells’ pulmonary embolism criteria score was calculated, and a D-dimer was obtained. If either was high, the patient was scanned for PE and 17% were found to be positive, with two-thirds of those being found to have large-vessel pulmonary emboli. The bottom ...
