Early cessation of prehospital seizures via an intramuscular injection of midazolam was at least noninferior, if not superior, to traditional intravenous lorazepam.
A significant risk factor for ICU readmission is the illness severity (acute physiology score) associated with persistent physiological abnormalities at ICU discharge, regardless of initial ICU admission illness severity.
When fewer ICU beds were available, patients experiencing a medical emergency team call were less likely to be admitted to the ICU and more likely to have their goals of care changed.
Some patients who experience stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) of unknown cause (i.e., cryptogenic) are subsequently found to have a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
