DOI: 10.1016/j.tjem.2018.05.002
Abstract: Objectives Traumatic iatrogenic pneumothorax occurs most often after a transthoracic needle biopsy. Since this procedure has become a common outpatient intervention, emergency department admissions of post-biopsy pneumothorax patients have increased. The aim of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1049023x22000097
Abstract: Abstract Background: New care paradigms are required to enable remote life-saving interventions (RLSIs) in extreme environments such as disaster settings. Informatics may assist through just-in-time expert remote-telementoring (RTM) or video-modelling (VM). Currently, RTM relies on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/milmed/usz135
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Tension pneumothorax is a common cause of preventable death in trauma. Needle decompression is the traditional first-line intervention but has high failure rates. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness and expedience of needle thoracostomy,… read more here.
