Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare emergencies is rapidly advancing. This review analyzes AI
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Emergency Medicine
Background:
- The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical and emergency settings is growing, yet its specific functionalities remain unclear.
- A comprehensive understanding of AI's role in healthcare emergencies is crucial for effective implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and evaluate existing research on AI applications in healthcare emergencies.
- To analyze the implementation of AI across various platforms and commercial applications.
Main Methods:
- A systematic literature search using PRISMA methodology across databases like PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and IEEE Xplore.
- Review of 12 commercial mobile health applications available on Android and iOS platforms.
Main Results:
- Twenty studies were included, focusing primarily on clinical decision support (20%) and medical/emergency services (20%).
- Of the 12 tested apps, 25% focused on pre-hospital care and 25% on clinical decision support.
- Half of the evaluated apps utilized machine learning, particularly natural language processing.
Conclusions:
- Machine learning, especially natural language processing, shows significant potential in improving healthcare efficiency and quality.
- The integration of AI with mobile health devices offers promising real-time patient health assessment and management capabilities.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:30Introduction Cardiac Emergencies
73
Cardiac emergencies are critical situations involving the heart that require immediate medical intervention to prevent severe complications or death. These emergencies often arise from underlying heart conditions that impair the heart's ability to function correctly.Types of Cardiac EmergenciesThe most common types of cardiac emergencies include Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac arrest, and heart failure.Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)...

01:23Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use
146
Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:
