Summary: This study investigated burnout and satisfaction levels among emergency department staff and found that 30.2% of them are at high risk of burnout. Emotional exhaustion is indirectly proportional to workload, interpersonal relationships, and rewards, and is a direct result of work experience. While participants expressed ambivalence and dissatisfaction with the work environment, they were satisfied with the nature of their work. The study also identified social support and feedback as significant predictors of employee well-being and reducing the risk of burnout.

Summary: This post hoc analysis explores the relationship between optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and intracranial pressure (ICP), finding that ONSD may reflect both current and prior biomechanical exposures. Evidence of plastic deformation is found in experimental measurements and clinical data, explaining why previous meta-analyses failed to identify a single threshold for ONSD associated with raised ICP.

Summary: In silico pharmacokinetic modeling of midazolam and pentobarbital suggests that standard treatment protocols for refractory status epilepticus result in higher steady-state serum concentrations. Not including bolus doses delays the achievement of steady-state concentration, while abrupt discontinuation reduces medication exposure. These models provide potential variables to optimize in future clinical studies.

Summary: The study evaluated interictal discharges (IEDs) as a biomarker for the time to development of electrographic seizures (ES). Through continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) monitoring of 254 critically ill children, it was found that high-frequency interictal discharges and periodic patterns are associated with ES.
