Background: Epidural hematoma (EDH) is a traumatic accumulation of blood between the inner table of the skull and the stripped-off Dural membrane. EDH results from traumatic head injury, usually with an associated skull fracture and arterial laceration. The incidence of EDH is highest among adolescents and young adults and reported mortality rates range from 5-43%. Therefore, we aim to look into the EDH for both medical students and new physicians face in the recognition, diagnosis and management of these conditions. Targeted population: EDH patients who are requiring urgent management in the ED, with Emergency Physicians for teaching approach protocol.Aim of the study: Appropriate identification of EDH patients and management by training protocol to Emergency Physicians. Based on the child's age, site, severity and types of injuries. Methods:Collection of all possible available data about the EDH at the emergency department. By many research questions to achieve these aims so a midline literature search was performed with the keywords "critical care", "emergency medicine", "principal's Epidural hematoma in different emergencies", "cardiac arrest with Epidural hematoma". Literature search included an overview of recent definition, causes and recent therapeutic interventions strategies.Results: All studies introduced that initial diagnosis of different emergencies situations for EDH and their interventions therapy are serious conditions that face patients at the emergency departments. Conclusion:EDH is caused by bleeding in the potential space between the dura and the skull, usually because of traumatic injury. The Clinical manifestations of EDH are highly variable, and include altered consciousness, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion, aphasia, seizures. Head Computed Tomography (CT) is a fast and accurate method for the detection of acute intracranial hemorrhage.

Background: Body position generally effect on respiratory and stroke disease. Stroke morbidity increased by inappropriate position during the early recovery phase. Aim: To evaluate the effect of changing selected body positions on oxygen saturation among patients with acute stroke. Research design: Quasi-experiment research design applied in this study. Sitting: the study carried out at the stroke intensive care unit of the Neurological Department of Aswan University Hospitals. Sample: 60 patients with acute stroke within 24-48 hours following mild to moderate and severe stroke allocated a randomized sequence of four positions. One hour spent in each position. SaO 2 was recorded each15 minutes by pulse oximetry with a finger probe. Tools of data collection: structured interview questionnaire sheet, Glasgow Coma Scale, the Scandinavian stroke scale, and oxygen saturation monitoring record. Results: mean score of SaO 2 at 2 nd 15 min, 3 rd 15 min, 4 th min, and mean SaO 2 of one hour at the semi-sitting position was higher than different positions (Supine position, Right side position, and Left side position) with statistically significant differences with p-value .008, .05, .002, and .019 respectively, the semi-sitting position was the best position of all position. Conclusion: the study finding concluded that the semi-sitting position is the best position than other positions in improving oxygen saturation after one hour from positioning among stroke patients. Recommendation: use a semi-sitting position and implicate this positioning strategy in the future to improve arterial oxygen saturation in acute stroke patients.
