Outcomes of transulnar and transradial percutaneous coronary intervention using ultrasound guided access in patients selected based on an ultrasound algorithm
Indian Heart J. 2021 May-Jun;73(3):362-364. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2021.03.005. Epub 2021 Mar 17.ABSTRACTWe performed a prospective observational study of 215 patients (58 ± 11 years) and compared the outcomes of ultrasound guided ulnar (n = 98, 45.6%) vs. radial (n = 117, 54.4%) cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients selected by an ultrasound based algorithm. Primary endpoints included the number of access attempts and conversion to femoral access. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization, stent throm...

Simultaneous cardio-cerebral infarction in the coronavirus disease pandemic era: A case series
Conclusion: Early recognition and immediate treatment is important in different scenarios leading to thrombosis as the outcome. Additionally, addressing the unknown risks that could contribute to our traditional understanding of these causative mechanisms is important. The hypothesis of exacerbated damage caused by inflammatory and immunological endothelial systemic damage should further be explored to be able to delineate new possibilities in managing these conditions.

Scientific Approach to Assess if Change Led to Improvement —Methods for Statistical Process Control Analysis in Quality Improvement
Quality improvement is an expectation in most hospitals and emergency departments throughout the United States. With hospitals requiring reporting on key metrics such as readmission rates, time to thrombolytic administration in stroke, or time to cardiac catheterization laboratory activation for ST-elevation myocardial infarctions, many emergency departments deploy quality improvement teams to monitor and improve these metrics and others to promote quality and safety. Emergency nurses and managers are key members and leaders of these quality improvement teams.

Outcomes of truncus arteriosus repair and predictors of mortality
Conclusion22q11.2 deletion syndrome was associated with an inverse risk of death despite having more noncardiac comorbidities; this patient subpopulation also had a higher length of stay and increased cost of hospitalization.

ECG Educational Standards for Prehospital Providers
Conclusion As the role of evidence-based medicine becomes more prominent in the field of emergency medicine, a clear view of the current state of ECG education and platform from which to implement uniform standards becomes increasingly essential; especially as research expands into the prehospital setting. Further research into EMS education may identify both strengths and weaknesses in basic ECG interpretation appropriate for first responders. Implementing minimum ECG interpretation standards for EMS personnel nationwide is one potential option to ensure prehospital educational institutions stay responsive to current scie...
