More emergency medicine trends
All specialties →AI for ED triage
Machine learning and language models used to support triage in the emergency department.
Point-of-care ultrasound in the ED
Bedside ultrasound performed by emergency clinicians for diagnosis and procedures.
Key point: Focused transesophageal echocardiography should only be performed during advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation or unclear shock when focused transthoracic echocardiography cannot clarify the issue.
High-sensitivity troponin pathways
Rapid rule-in and rule-out algorithms for myocardial infarction using high-sensitivity troponin.
Key point: The ESC 0/1-hour pathway did not increase 4-hour discharge versus 0/3-hour testing but was noninferior for discharge safety.
Whole blood in trauma resuscitation
Transfusing whole blood instead of separate components in bleeding trauma patients.
Tranexamic acid in bleeding
Tranexamic acid in trauma and other acute haemorrhage.
Key point: Tranexamic acid does not affect all-cause mortality, functional outcomes, neurological impairment, or hematoma expansion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, despite reducing hematoma volume.
Video laryngoscopy
Video laryngoscopes for tracheal intubation.
Key point: For neonatal and infant airway management, videolaryngoscopy is the first choice for intubation, with apneic oxygenation during the attempt.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"emergency department"[tiab] AND (boarding[tiab] OR crowding[tiab] OR overcrowding[tiab])Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
