EMCREG-International is dedicated to research and education in the fields of Emergency Medicine and Acute Care. Since 1989, EMCREG has evolved into an international research and education network boasting 55 members representing 45 international academic researchers institutions, and have enrolled more 40,000 patients in trials, produced 50+ educational CME monographs, and held 35 live educational symposium. Our interests cover research and education in cardiovascular and neurovascular emergencies, neurointensive care, critical care medicine, and all acute care topics. Our focus is not only on education the physicians but all specialties involved in the care of acutely ill patients, including hospitalists, advanced practice providers, nursing and prehospital care as well as emergency physicians.

Read MoreVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a clinical entity which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). VTE is a common medical condition affecting up to 117 patients per 100,000 population annually.1 The diagnosis of VTE is often difficult and frequently missed. Mortality in untreated PE is approximately 30%, but with adequate anticoagulant treatment, this can be reduced to 2–8%. The purpose of this Newsletter is to focus on the diagnosis and treatment of VTE, including PE and DVT in the emergency department (ED). In this EMCREG-International Newsletter, Dr. Charles Cairns, Associate Professor of Surgery and Medicine and Associate Chief of Emergency Medicine at the Duke University School of Medicine discusses the important disease process venous thromboembolism (VTE) which includes deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism from the perspective of emergency medicine.
