  • Pneumomediastinum due to excessive cheering during a football match
    Abdullah Önür, Emre Sanci
    Turkish Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2026
    A 19-year-old female presented to the emergency department with the sudden onset of chest pain. The patient had a complaint after cheering for her team during a football match. Initial blood workup and imaging were normal. However, before discharge, a widespread crepitation in the neck was detected during re-examination. Further imaging revealed a pneumomediastinum, and the patient was admitted to the hospital. This case emphasizes the importance of follow-up and re-examination before discharging the patients.

    The effect of the global healthcare events makes its initial impact to the emergency departments. As the vanguards of healthcare system emergency departments had handled the surge while undergoing physical changes to manage ongoing crisis. Therefore, for the preparation of further global events, admission rates and emergency department utilization of the pandemic requires further investigation. The aim of this study was to analyze the admissions in a multi-center scale and compare ICD codes and crude mortality rates during the early COVID-19 pandemic period and compare this data to the previous year of the outbreak. This was a multi-center study of 10 hospitals; including 2 tertiary and 8 secondary healthcare institutions. This study comparatively analyzed ED admissions between during pandemic and pre-pandemic periods. A total of 8,38,502 admissions were included in the study (5,72,443 vs 2,66,059; pre pandemic period vs during pandemic period, respectively). There was a significant difference between age, gender, ED waiting time, triage color, and hospitalization rates (P < .001) between 2 periods. Comparison of admission international statistical classification of diseases and related health problems 10th revision codes were significantly different between pre-pandemic and pandemic periods for trauma, cardiovascular, neurology, and respiratory codes (P < .001, P < .001, P < .001, P = .024, respectively). The findings of this study suggest that a pandemic affects many mechanisms in the emergency healthcare systems. This influence might have affected the ED admission rates, hospital admission rates, and mortality rates.

    OBJECTIVES In this study, we hypothesized that in prehospital ambulance environments, the use of the triple airway maneuver-which facilitates airway patency in the mannequin-may allow for faster and easier placement of the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the triple airway maneuver on the LMA insertion times of paramedics with and without chest compression. METHODS This study was designed as a randomized, prospective, crossover simulated manikin study. Paramedics who were working in the Prehospital Command and Control Center were informed about the study. A randomized, crossover study design was used to reduce the learning curve of the participants. For each participant, four scenarios were created in a randomized order: 1) standard method with chest compressions, 2) triple airway maneuver with chest compressions, 3) standard method without chest compressions, and 4) triple airway maneuver without chest compressions. The study was carried out in a moving ambulance in an empty area. The standard method was defined as passive manual support of the head from below. For the triple airway maneuver, an emergency medicine specialist served as the second operator. The LMA application time was defined as the time until the LMA was held, and effective ventilation was provided. The primary outcome of the study was defined as the comparison of LMA insertion times of the standard method and triple airway maneuver for each method. RESULTS Twenty-eight participants were included in the study. When all scenarios were compared LMA insertion times did not differ between triple airway maneuver and standard method groups (p = 0.730). During chest compressions, no statistically significant difference was found between the LMA insertion times (mean difference: 0.57 seconds, 95% CI: -0.819 to 1.961; p = 0.406). Similarly, when chest compressions were not applied, no significant difference was observed between the groups (mean difference: 0.5001 seconds, 95% CI: -2.00 to 3.50; p = 0.675). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that both the triple airway maneuver and the standard method may be effectively utilized in patients undergoing chest compressions as well as in those without chest compressions.

    SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary thromboembolism is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Various changes occur on the electrocardiogram secondary to pulmonary thromboembolism. The objective of this study was to investigate variations in QT dispersion, Tpeak-Tend duration, and Tpeak-Tend/QT ratio in relation to pulmonary thromboembolism localization and their impacts on 30-day mortality. METHODS: This study was carried out in a tertiary emergency medicine clinic between December 1, 2019 and November 30, 2020. We evaluated correlations between radiological outcomes of patients, QT dispersions, T-wave dispersions, Tpeak-Tend durations, and Tpeak-Tend/QT ratios. We sought statistically significant disparities between these values, considering the presence or localization of pulmonary thromboembolism. The 30-day mortality in pulmonary thromboembolism-diagnosed patients was reassessed. RESULTS: Electrocardiogramfindings revealed that T-wave dispersion (p<0.001), Tpeak-Tend duration (p=0.034), and Tpeak-Tend/corrected QT ratio (p=0.003) were lower in patients than controls. Conversely, QT dispersion (p=0.005) and corrected QT dispersion (p<0.001) were higher in patients. CONCLUSION: Electrocardiogram findings such as T-wave dispersion, QT duration, Tpeak-Tend time, and Tpeak-Tend/corrected QT ratio can detect pulmonary thromboembolism. More studies with larger cohorts are required to further understand the role of QT and corrected QT dispersion in pulmonary thromboembolism patient mortality.
  • Comparison of Jaw-Thrust Maneuver and Standard Method for Airway Management with Laryngeal Mask Airway by Paramedics during Chest Compression: A Randomized, Crossover, Manikin Study

    Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, 2022
    Introduction:The first priority of the primary survey of trauma care is airway management. For patients who have a known or suspected cervical spine injury, using the jaw-thrust maneuver is critical. It was hypothesized that the jaw-thrust maneuver would ease the insertion of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) by moving the tongue forward from the palate and posterior pharyngeal wall.Study Objectives:The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of jaw-thrust maneuver on LMA insertion times of the paramedics with or without chest compression and with or without cervical stabilization in a manikin.Methods:Eleven experienced paramedics inserted LMA in jaw-thrust position and standard position in chest compression without cervical stabilization scenario, chest compression with cervical stabilization scenario, cervical stabilization without chest compression scenario, and the scenario where neither cervical stabilization nor chest compression were performed. The primary outcome of the study was the comparison of LMA insertion times for each method. The secondary outcome measures were first-pass success rates and the comparison of the difficulty level of each method.Results:During the LMA placement, performing the jaw-thrust maneuver instead of the standard method did not shorten the LMA insertion times. Adding chest compression and/or cervical stabilization did not complicate the LMA insertion. All of the LMA insertion attempts during the jaw-thrust maneuver and standard method were successful.Conclusion:The findings of this study suggest that LMA insertion might be attempted both during the jaw-thrust maneuver and standard position in patients with or without chest compression and with or without cervical stabilization.

    Objective We aimed to determine the effect of fibrinolytic therapy on hemodynamic parameters at 4 hours after treatment and bleeding complications in patients with intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism.Methods This single-center, retrospective, cohort study included patients with intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism treated with fibrinolytics. Their demographic and clinical characteristics, complications, and vital signs at the initiation of and 4 hours after fibrinolytic therapy were evaluated. The primary outcome was the change in the patients’ vital signs at 4 hours after fibrinolytic therapy, compared by the Mann-Whitney U-test.Results Seventy-nine patients were included in this study. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the high-risk group at 4 hours after fibrinolytic therapy were higher than those at the initiation of fibrinolytic therapy (80 mmHg vs. 99 mmHg, P = 0.029; 49 mmHg vs. 67 mmHg, P = 0.011, respectively). In the intermediate-risk group, the oxygen saturation increased (94% vs. 96%, P = 0.004) and pulse rate decreased (104 beats/min vs. 91 beats/min, P &lt; 0.001).Conclusion Blood pressure at 4 hours after fibrinolytic therapy increased in patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism. Also, oxygen saturation and pulse rate improved in intermediate-risk patients.

    Although it is known that the adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines have low incidence (2), allergic side effects are possible similar to any other medication. Although a wide spectrum of symptoms can be seen, from mild allergic complaints to angioedema, Kounis syndrome is one with undesirable effects. Hypersensitivity coronary disorder was originally described in 1991 by Kounis as acute coronary syndrome associated with an allergic reaction (3). This syndrome has been reported with different SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (4, 5); and to the best of our knowledge, we present the first Kounis syndrome after an mRNA vaccine.
