Filter by:Transcranial Doppler is a noninvasive tool. Using velocity measurements and pulsatility index it allows the evaluation of cerebral haemodynamics. In patients presenting brain injury cerebral perfusion may be impaired. Indirect cerebral blood flow can be monitored and risk of neurological worsening can be detected using transcranial Doppler. Education and performance of emergency physicians must be evaluated on brain-injured patients because this tool is operator dependent. The main objective of this study is to estimate the average number of exams required to learn transcranial Doppler within junior emergency physicians with the achievement of their learning curve. We will perform a prospective, monocentric, observational study within the neurosurgical resuscitation department of Grenoble Alpes University Hospital.
The aim of the study is to determine the proportion of patients with change in brain perfusion during the acute phase of migraine attack with aura.
In this proposal, the investigators will determine if a single dose of oral lorazepam reduces distress, pain severity, and need for opiate analgesics both in the ED and in the acute recovery period after discharge. The investigators will compare the lorazepam arm to a placebo arm.
Patients receiving Ceftriaxone 1 gram or 2 grams per day during their presence in emergency unit of hospital whatever their medical condition, will be included. Rectal swabs will be collected at inclusion and at days 5 and 30 to perform analysis. Analysis will be performed to characterize gut microbiome in order to detect intestinal microbiome profiles significantly associated with protection against colonization by third generation cephalosporin resistant Enterobacteriae.
To compare length of stay (LOS) of pediatric patients in a pediatric emergency room presenting with Gastroenteritis treated with IV rehydration versus oral Speedlyte rehydration.
This randomized, double-blind trial will compare the clinical efficacy of IV acetaminophen to that of IV ketorolac as adjuncts to standard therapy (prochlorperazine and diphenhydramine) in the treatment of patients presenting to the emergency department with chief complaint of "headache" or variants thereof.
Emergency room patients referred for esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) often have many possible causes for their symptoms. These inevitably undergo further testing if EGD is inconclusive, which adds costs and inevitably prolongs emergency room length of stay (LOS).EUS has traditionally been used after EGD for a myriad of costs reasons that no longer apply. We therefore propose a prospective pilot study to determine whether PEUS can reduce LOS and resource utilisation in emergency room patients referred for EGD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral olanzapine is safer (fewer adverse events) and more effective (shorter time to sedation) than conventional haloperidol or diazepam when used in the management of acute agitation in the emergency.
Study to assess the possible effects of the use of a point-of-care thoracic ultrasound protocol for hospital medical emergency teams (MET)
CALIF study is a monocentric observational study which aim is to analyse the value of adding procalcitonin (PCT, a pre-hormon increased in bacterial infection and septicaemia) in the management of chemo-induced febrile neutropenia occurring in patient with solid tumour. Febrile neutropenia will be managed according to international guidelines. PCT will be dosed at initial presentation. Primary objective is to determine the optimal value of PCT for the detection of septicaemia in low risk (according to MASCC score). The investigators plan also to compare two risk stratification scores: the validated MASCC score and a recently developed score which includes PCT and other more objective items.
