Filter by:Acute musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, including strains, sprains or contusions, are a common reason patients seek emergency care. Pain control is an essential component of treatment. Within the orthopedic literature, there is robust body of research supporting the use of cryotherapy for post-operative patients and injured athletes. However, within the emergency department (ED), studies have been focused on pharmacologic analgesia. The absence of evidence on optimal method or impact of ice therapy for acute MSK injuries contributes to inconsistent practice patterns that may impede symptom control or increase narcotic usage. The specific aim of the ICED investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of intensive cryotherapy for the treatment of pain due to acute MSK injuries treated in the ED. Secondary outcomes include length-of-stay (LOS), patient satisfaction, and narcotic usage.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and quality of a pre-hospital holistic multifunctional teleconsultation system. This system consists of on-line transmissions of vital parameters, audio- and video-signals from the scene to a telemedicine centre, where a trained emergency physician (tele-EMS physician) uses software-based guideline conform algorithms for diagnosis and treatment. At the prehospital emergency scene half of the patients will receive this telemedicine-based approach and the other half the conventional emergency physician-based care.
The aim of this study was to explore participants´ subjective experiences and perspectives on pain and other factors of importance after an early nursing intervention consisting of "caring touch" (tactile massage and healing touch) for participants subjected to a motor vehicle accident with minor or no physical injuries.
To study the impact of emergency high risk GI surgery on HRQOL in elderly patients, seventy-five years or above and to explore the patients' experience with the informed consent process and the status 6 months after surgery.
All patients undergoing emergent endotracheal intubation (RSI) at the Emergency Department will be screened for inclusion in this clinical study. The indication of endotracheal intubation is an exclusively clinical decision and is not affected by this study protocol in any aspect. If fulfilling the In- and exclusion criteria's, patient will be randomly assigned to one of two groups 1. C-MAC Videolaryngoscope in appropriate size 2. conventional endotracheal intubation using Macintosh Blade in appropriate size Randomization (1:1) will be based on computer-generated codes maintained in sequentially numbered opaque envelopes that will be opened immediately before randomization.
The primary objectives are: 1. To investigate which healthcare workers and other individuals contribute to the decision to order computed tomography (CT) scans for emergency department (ED) patients. 2. To investigate the specific reasons healthcare workers and other individuals order or request CT scans for ED patients. 3. To determine the frequency of clinically important actions following CT scan results. Once the drivers of ED CT utilization are identified, interventions including education, incentives for compliance with evidence-based best practices, and interventions for noncompliance could be targeted appropriately.
New York-Presbyterian Hospital has created a system that notifies its primary care providers whenever their patients are admitted to the hospital. In this study, the investigators want to evaluate how accurate this system is and how it is affecting the primary providers and their health care delivery.
This study wants to compared the safety and efficacy of GDTs using standard pressure-related parameters vs. dynamic hemodynamic indices associated with fluid compartment monitoring, in septic patients requiring emergency surgery.
This study compares the safety and efficacy of GDTs using standard pressure-related parameters vs. dynamic hemodynamic indices associated with fluid compartment monitoring, in trauma patients requiring emergency surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the hemoglobin results obtained with the "Orsense NBM-200MP" device and the Clinical Laboratory.
