Background And Importance: Emergency airway management in the emergency department (ED) is a high-risk procedure associated with patient outcomes. First-attempt success is a widely recognized quality metric, as multiple attempts are associated with an increased risk of peri-intubation complications. In Brazil, where emergency medicine is a recently established specialty, many ED are staffed by physicians without formal emergency medicine training.

Introduction: Peripheral venous catheter (PVC) insertion is a common intervention, conventionally performed using visualization and palpation techniques. It has been reported that the first attempt success rate can be as low as 51%. Ultrasound guidance improves the overall success rate and the success rate of the first attempt.

Background: Prehospital airway management is a critical and high-risk procedure in emergency medicine. First-pass intubation success is essential to reduce complications such as hypoxemia, aspiration, and hemodynamic instability. Although the bougie is commonly used in inhospital settings for difficult intubations, its routine use in first-attempt prehospital intubation in patients without difficult airway predictors has not been evaluated in randomized controlled trials.

: Peripheral vascular access in infants is a frequent but technically challenging procedure due to the anatomical characteristics of this population. Repeated failed attempts may increase complications and emotional stress for both patients and healthcare professionals. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided peripheral vascular cannulation compared to the conventional or "blind" technique in infants.
