Randomized Controlled Trial
Planning to reduce 30-day adverse events after discharge of frail elderly patients with acute heart failure: design and rationale for the DEED FRAIL-AHF trial.
To demonstrate the efficacy of a system for comprehensive care transfer (Multilevel Guided Discharge Plan [MGDP]) for frail older patients diagnosed with acute heart failure (AHF) and to validate the results of MGDP implementation under real clinical conditions. The MGDP seeks to reduce the number of adverse outcomes within 30 days of emergency department (ED) discharge. ⋯ The study will assess the efficacy and feasibility of comprehensive MGDP transfer of care for frail older AHF patients discharged home.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intubation through 2 supraglottic airway device in cervical spine immobilization: a randomized trial of residents' use of the intubating laryngeal mask airway and the intubating laryngeal tube in manikins.
The aim of this study was to compare the intubating laryngeal mask (iLM) airway and the new intubating laryngeal tube (iLTS-D) in use by residents with minimal previous intubation experience during simulated conditions of reduced cervical spine mobility. ⋯ The new iLTS-D may be a good alternative to the iLMA because a patient can be intubated and successfully ventilated in less time. The rate of successful intubation is also better with the iLTS-D.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation theory with face-to-face versus audiovisual instruction for secondary school students: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare secondary students' learning of basic life support (BLS) theory and the use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED) through face-to-face classroom instruction versus educational video instruction. ⋯ No significant differences between face-to-face instruction and audiovisual instruction for learning BLS and AED theory were found in secondary school students either immediately after instruction or 2 months later.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[Ethyl chloride aerosol spray for local anesthesia before arterial puncture: randomized placebo-controlled trial].
To compare the efficacy of an ethyl chloride aerosol spray to a placebo spray applied in the emergency department to the skin to reduce pain from arterial puncture for blood gas analysis. ⋯ Topical application of an ethyl chloride spray did not reduce pain caused by arterial puncture.
