Filter by:1. To observe and report the success rate associated with the use of ultrasound for subclavian vein catheterization. 2. To observe and report the type and complications and any constrains associated with this technique.
The aim is to compare functional outcome and or quality of life in patients with a stoma that was constructed as an emergency procedure with patients where a stoma was created as a planned procedure. To do this data will be retrieved from the Swedish Patient Register to identify all patients with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer and a stoma construction procedure during two previous calender years. To collect data on stoma function and quality of life a specific questionnaire will be sent to the cohort approximately within 2 years of the procedure.
SSI (Surgical Site Infection) rate is an important consideration after emergency laparotomy. SSIs carry a high financial burden for health institutes with the cost of major SSIs after emergency laparotomy to add an additional cost of £10000-£15000 per patient. NICE has recommended the use of PICO dressings for the reduction of SSI rate as a cost-neutral. The purpose of this study was to review the current SSI rate, assess the patient risk factors for development of SSIs and evaluate if the use of PICO dressings as per NICE guidelines will reduce the SSI rate.
The hypothesis is that intranasal dexmedetomidine will provide significantly more effective analgesia and anxiolysis for subjects undergoing a simple laceration repair when compared to either intranasal fentanyl or intranasal midazolam. Additional hypotheses include that there will be 1) no significant increase in adverse effects between drugs and 2) significantly higher satisfaction rates for both subject experience and ease of laceration repair based on structured, proceduralist feedback.
Point of care testing (POCT) is described as a laboratory test conducted near the patient with a rapid result obtained through a portable analysing device, as opposed to the collection of a blood sample being transferred to a central laboratory for analysis and reporting. Over the past 15 years increasing emphasis has been placed upon the paramedic profession as a possible solution to addressing the increasing demands placed on emergency departments. This is largely viewed through the ability of paramedics to assess patients calling 999 and manage a patient's condition away from the emergency department, with sufficient evidence supporting the role of the paramedic to develop competencies to manage larger volumes of patients. This feasibility study will seek to understand whether paramedics report that the use of POCT devices is useful in safe clinical decision making with patients in the community, and if it is possible to use the Abbott i-STAT device in the urgent and emergency care setting for those patients where management within the community is being considered. Given that there is very little evidence in this subject area, the research should start to inform the potential for future innovations in paramedic and community practice, and build on the body of evidence regarding POCT by paramedics related to community management.
Emergency treatment warning of clevidipine butyrate butyrate injection or invalid medical treatment and verification of the effectiveness and safety of subacute.
The aim of our study is primarily to evaluate the professional practices over the last years in the pediatric emergencies of the Nancy's Hospital for the BATiC. This, in order to identify the traumatic mechanisms and the initial clinical elements which would make it possible to detect the patients at low risk of developing visceral lesions. Then, a management could be proposed which would rationalize the use of additional examinations and would favor the monitoring and the clinical reassessment after the initial management of a minor trauma. The study of the data will then aim to establish a composite score (anamnestic and clinical) of initial evaluation, from which could result a uniform management protocol (clinical, biological and imaging) of the minor BATiC, of the intermediate BATiC and the major BATiC, applicable to pediatric emergencies at the Nancy's Hospital.
Population health needs are increasing. Information and communication technologies are changing. The digital shift offers new opportunities for the exploration and analysis of mass health data. It is possible to rely on these new technologies to modernize, optimize patient management at the level of emergency medical communication centres. Our project aims to integrate the methods and tools of artificial intelligence for emergency medical communication centres. The system aims to help regulate emergency calls at CRRA 15 in France, or Centrale 144 in Switzerland, to assess the severity of calls, identify care pathways, and improve efficiency when committing resources. The development of such a system is aimed at securing and optimising the information system and the means of telecommunication used in the emergency medical communication centres, and provide an individualized response to the patient management.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical usefulness of the Deep learning based Early Warning Score (DEWS).
This study is a prospective, multi-center and observational clinical study. Investigators would like to explore the optimal emergency endoscopy timing in cirrhosis patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) by evaluating and comparing the efficacy and safety of emergency endoscopy performed at different times ( within 6 hours or between 6 and 24 hours after gastroenterologic consultation ) and its impact on the short-term prognosis.
