…and the possibility of rapid reversal with an antidote. Intubation is recommended for neurological, respiratory or haemodynamic failure that cannot be corrected quickly. Rapid sequence…

Status epilepticus: quick reference for emergency treatment

…status itself carries a considerable risk of hypoxia and respiratory failure. In placebo controlled trials, respiratory depression was no more common — and sometimes less common —…

Relaxation of the left ventricle

…refers to the sequence of activation of the ventricular myocardium. The ventricles should be depolarized (activated) by impulses spreading through the left and right bundle…

Technical aspects of the ultrasound image
