Abstract:
Emergency medicine is part of the current stream of efficient and qualitative medicine : 1) the modified Valsava maneuver results in the resolution of almost 50% of supra-ventricular tachycardia without any drug; 2) lung echography performed by emergency physicians is a very sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for most thoracic emergencies; 3) cardiopulmonary resuscitation initiated by lay-rescuers improves short and long-term outcome; 4) no anticoagulant treatment is warranted in distal deep vein thrombosis and 5) systematic unenhanced abdominal CT might improve evaluation of elderly patients with acute abdominal pain.
