Objectives: To report the characteristics of adult out-of-hospital arrest patients and their outcomes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Methods: This is a prospective descriptive study of out-of-hospital adult arrests incident transported to King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between July 2012 and September 2013.

This practice guideline is a part of the larger 
initiative of the Ministry of Health of the King-
dom of Saudi Arabia to establish a program of 
rigorous development of guidelines. The ulti-
mate goals are to provide guidance for clini-
cians  and other healthcare decision makers 
and reduce  unnecessary  variability in clinical 
practice across the Kingdom. 
 
The Saudi expert guideline panel selected the 
topic of this guideline and all healthcare ques-
tions addressed herein using a formal prioriti-

Aims and objectives
"The provision of proper opportune care to patients visiting the emergency department
is greatly dependent on the appropriate interpretation of requested radiographs by the
emergency physician. Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the capabilities
of non-radiologist to interpret different imaging modalities. These were undertaken to
decide whether it may be proper for them to independently report radiological studies and
thus help to meet the rising need for on-call radiology"

Objective:  Sepsis syndrome is usually accompanied by activation 
of blood coagulation mechanisms. Earlier studies found deficiencies 
of the 3 main natural anticoagulants, antithrombin, protein C, and 
protein S. However, none of these inhibitors block tissue factor, 
the prime trigger of coagulation during sepsis that is controlled 
specifically by the tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). The aim of 
this study was to characterize the fluctuations in the levels of natural 

Abstract Background Little is known about Emergency Medical Services (EMS) use and pre-hospital triage of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Arabian Gulf countries. Methods Clinical arrival and acute care within 24 h of STEMI symptom onset were compared between patients transferred by EMS (Red Crescent and Inter-Hospital) and those transferred by non-EMS means. Data were retrieved from a prospective registry of 36 hospitals in 6 Arabian Gulf countries, from January 2014 to January 2015.
