Randomized Controlled Trial
Sesiones breves con retroalimentación: una oportunidad para mantener las habilidades en reanimación cardiopulmonar en profesionales de atención primaria.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) feedback applications can facilitate learning in brief training sessions, but they have never been tested in primary care settings. We aimed to see if brief CPR training sessions that include feedback improve the skills of primary care staff. ⋯ Brief retraining sessions with feedback are useful for maintaining CPR skills in primary care, but skill improvement is not long lasting.

To study the effect of high-risk criteria on 30-day outcomes in frail older patients with acute heart failure (AHF) discharged from an emergency department (ED) or an ED's observation and short-stay areas. ⋯ Risk factors are common in frail elderly patients with AHF discharged home from hospital ED areas. Their presence is associated with a worse 30-day prognosis.

Observational Study
Biological markers and follow-up after discharge home of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
The time lapse between onset of symptoms and a call to an emergency dispatch center (pain-to-call time) is a critical prognostic factor in patients with chest pain. It is therefore important to identify factors related to delays in calling for help. ⋯ Pain-to-call delays were longer in women and older patients, especially at night. These age and gender differences identify groups that would benefit most from health education interventions.
