Emergency medicine is medicine at its most urgent — where time-critical decisions, diagnostic acuity, and rapid intervention define outcomes. Kmed Journal of Emergency Medicine is built for emergency physicians, intensivists, and acute care researchers who are doing work that directly saves lives.

We publish original research, case reports, systematic reviews, and clinical observations across the full spectrum of emergency and acute care — from triage protocols and resuscitation science to disaster preparedness and prehospital medicine. Every submission undergoes rigorous peer review, and every published article is freely accessible to the global medical community.

Scope & Focus Areas

We welcome submissions across all dimensions of emergency medicine, including:

• Resuscitation & Critical Care — cardiac arrest, CPR outcomes, post-resuscitation care, and advanced life support
• Trauma & Injury Management — polytrauma, hemorrhagic shock, wound care, and damage control
• Toxicology & Poisoning — acute poisoning, envenomation, overdose management, and antidotal therapy
• Cardiovascular Emergencies — ACS, arrhythmias, acute heart failure, and aortic syndromes
• Neurological Emergencies — stroke, seizures, altered sensorium, and spinal cord injuries
• Paediatric Emergency Medicine — age-specific presentations, resuscitation, and acute illness in children
