Critical Minutes: Emergency Medicine and High-Acuity Care

This Special Issue of the Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences (JBRES) invites high-quality submissions that strengthen the evidence base for emergency and high-acuity care. We welcome work that improves rapid assessment & resuscitation, optimizes critical interventions, and demonstrates clinical & real-world effectiveness in time-sensitive, resource-intensive ED settings.

High-Acuity Interventions & Resuscitation
Cardiac arrest, shock management, trauma resuscitation, sepsis bundles, airway emergencies, time-to-intervention metrics.
Critical Care Processes & Biomarkers
ED boarding & throughput, point-of-care ultrasound, biomarkers (lactate, procalcitonin), prehospital integration, high-acuity protocols.

About this Special Issue

Emergency medicine thrives on precision in the "critical minutes" where delays impact survival. This Special Issue focuses on high-acuity emergency care—from resuscitation science and sepsis/trauma management to biomarkers, throughput optimization, and evidence-based protocols in demanding ED environments. We especially welcome submissions that report transparent methods, time-sensitive endpoints, and insights that can enhance rapid decision-making, equity, and long-term patient outcomes.

Preference is given to studies with clear outcomes (time-to-intervention, mortality, ICU-free days), robust analysis, and a concise “What this changes in practice” statement.
