Let’s take the humble blood transfusion – used in emergency departments across the globe and playing a key role in critical care. The factorial design chosen by Dr Maitland and her research group means that several comparisons in transfusion practice could be carried out at the same time. What were the research questions?

1,2 Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) (hyperthermia, autonomic instability, rigidity, altered mental status [AMS]) can occur as well and is most often seen with clozapine but has been observed with other atypicals. Rigidity and hyperthermia should raise concerns for NMS. 1 Seizures may occur due to lowered seizure threshold.

If a well-child had a sudden cardiac arrest with no downtime before good CPR was started, I’m sure everyone would be doing a fairly long resuscitation effort regardless of this research. This study included paediatric patients (aged 18 years) identified as either Black or White who presented to an Emergency Department (ED) over 2 years.
