CONGRESS ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with high mortality when not promptly diagnosed and adequately treated. The often nonspecific clinical presentation is responsible for the diagnostic difficulty and the frequent finding of PE at autopsy. MATERIALS & METHODS: Since 2022, we have implemented an in-hospital management pathway based on…

Reversible causes of pulseless electrical activity (PEA) are classically categorized into the “4 H’s and 4 T’s”: H ypovolemia, H ypoxia, H ydrogen ion excess (acidosis), H ypo-/ H yperkalemia , and T ension pneumothorax, Cardiac T amponade, T oxins, T hrombosis . This scheme is usually reported for…

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest still has a survival rate of less than 10%. Starting data collection through multicenter registries is essential in order to identify the most appropriate interventions to improve survival rates. The LIFE registry is a prospective, observational, and multicenter study, non-profit. The primary objective of the study…

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a worldwide cause of death . Survival remains low—around 7% globally—and many survivors experience significant neurological impairment. Numerous experiences have demonstrated that OHCA survival can be improved by strengthening the “chain of survival” and ensuring that pre-hospital care begins as early as possible. This…

Background: Chest pain is one of the most frequent and challenging reasons for admission to the Emergency Department (ED), requiring rapid triage and precise diagnostic stratification to distinguish life-threatening cardiovascular events from benign conditions. At AORN Cardarelli, the management of these patients is standardized through a specific Diagnostic-Therapeutic Diagnostic…
