Figure 1. a, Time to asytole represented as absolute time ± standard error (SE). The 1:4 group time to asystole (*) was significantly prolonged compared to control (21.2 vs 17.6 minutes, P < 0.05). b, Time to apnea represented as absolute time ± SE. There was no significant difference between control and intervention groups. c, Baseline heart rate with 95% confidence interval (CI). There was no significant difference between control and intervention groups. d, Baseline respiratory rate with 95% CI. There was significant variability between control and intervention groups 2 (mean difference 18.2, 95% CI 4.7–31.7, P < 0.05) and 4 (mean difference 21.5, 95% CI 7.9–35, P < 0.05).

Our Philosophy

Emergency Medicine is a specialty which closely reflects societal challenges and consequences of public policy decisions. The emergency department specifically deals with social injustice, health and economic disparities, violence, substance abuse, and disaster preparedness and response. This journal focuses on how emergency care affects the health of the community and population, and conversely, how these societal challenges affect the composition of the patient population who seek care in the emergency department. The development of better systems to provide emergency care, including technology solutions, is critical to enhancing population health.
