Welcome to Session 1 of the Emergency Physician's International Conference 2026 (EPIC 2026) — Global Evidence Exchange: Beyond Borders.
In this international expert panel, leading emergency medicine and critical care physicians examine 5 landmark studies from 2025–2026, exploring their clinical relevance, limitations, and real-world applicability across healthcare systems in the UK, USA, and Scandinavia.
🎙️ EXPERT PANEL
Chair: Dr. Mouhammad Mortagy
🇬🇧 Dr. Emma Christmas — Emergency Medicine Consultant, Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Foundation Programme Director
🇺🇸 Dr. Zaffer Qasim — Associate Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine & Critical Care, Perelman School of Medicine

📚 5 LANDMARK STUDIES
1️⃣ AI-Powered ECGs for Acute MI — ROM Study (European Heart Journal)
Can AI improve MI rule-out? The panel discusses diagnostic accuracy, older patients, IT integration and why AI cannot replace holistic clinical assessment.
2️⃣ Ketamine vs Etomidate for Emergency RSI — NEJM
A look at post-intubation haemodynamic instability, adrenal suppression, drug availability and implications for critically ill and septic patients.
3️⃣ Prehospital Whole Blood vs Component Therapy — TOWARD Trial (NEJM)
Whole blood in major trauma: logistics, low-titre Group O blood, HEMS limitations, shelf life and implications for traumatic brain injury.
4️⃣ Glucocorticoids for Community-Acquired Pneumonia — NEJM Kenya Trial
What does the evidence mean across different healthcare settings? The panel explores mortality, resource-limited environments and generalisability.
5️⃣ IO vs IV Access in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest — PARAMEDIC-3 Trial
Does the route of vascular access affect outcomes? Discussion includes survival, ROSC and why high-quality CPR remains fundamental.
