Nov 13th, 2020 - Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but devastating condition with mortality rates as high as 60%-80%., We report a case of AFE complicating the labor of a parturient with no reported risk factors. She received general anesthesia for emergent ...

Nov 9th, 2020 - The US-CAB (Ultrasound, Circulation/Airway/Breathing) protocol integrates several sonographic techniques into a structured assessment of the circulation, airway, and breathing status of a patient during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in an ad...

Oct 30th, 2020 - Brain multivoxel MR spectroscopic imaging was performed in 3 consecutive patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). These included 1 patient with COVID-19-associated necrotizing leukoencephalopathy, another patient who had a recent pulsele...

Oct 27th, 2020 - Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is increasingly observed in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but outcomes are still poor. We aimed to assess the relationship between QRS characteristics and outcomes of patients with OHCA with initial PEA...
