Filter by:This is an observational study of the pragmatic implementation of an ED screening, outpatient referral, and care coordination process for older ED patients who may have UCID.
This study aims to verify the effectiveness of the connected network for EMS comprehensive technical-support using artificial intelligence (CONNECT-AI) system through demonstration in the local community. The study was designed as a prospective non-random cross-intervention study design in two preselected communities. The subjects of the study are patients transferred to the local emergency department(ED) through an ambulance of a fire department in the selected community. If the storage and transmission of information collected by an ambulance fails or the information of the transferred patient cannot be verified in the transferred ED, it is excluded from the study. In this study, the developed CONNECT-AI system was installed in all emergency vehicles and EDs in two regional cohorts, and the effectiveness was measured by operating an intersection for the same period. The primary outcome is the transfer time spent in the pre-hospital stage, and the secondary outcome is whether the optimal transfer hospital is selected.
The rationale of this study in UGIB patients is to assess whether the prediction of mortality and morbidity using AIMS65 score improves when used in combination with RDW in the emergency department setting.
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) have been studying by clinicians, particularly by anesthesiologists, pretty long, however the most inspiring advancements were achieved during the last few decades. The most recent classification of PND which includes cognitive decline diagnosed before operation (described as neurocognitive disorder); any form of acute event (postoperative delirium) and cognitive decline diagnosed up to 30 days after the procedure (delayed neurocognitive recovery) and up to 12 months (postoperative neurocognitive disorder) was proposed in 2017. However at will one can notice at least one uncertainty that pertinent to the definition of delirium, emergency delirium and not mentioned in the classification discussed agitation. The objective of the study is to determine if there is a difference between emergence agitation and emergence delirium.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that addition of the Monocyte Width Distribution (MDW) parameter to current standard of care improves a clinician's ability to recognize sepsis in the Emergency Department, resulting in earlier decision to administer antibiotics from time of ED presentation for sepsis patients (simulated primary endpoint), with concomitant reductions in length of stay and in-hospital mortality for those patients (secondary endpoints).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for MDW and other CPD parameters (measured with CBC-DIFF) to identify COVID-19 diseased adult individuals presenting to the hospital with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 or respiratory infection and whose standard of care includes CBC-DIFF and microbial testing.
A retrospective study at a tertiary university hospital to determine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the emergency surgery practice in the hospital.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the presence of a correlation between the Lung ultrasound score (LUSS) and PaO2/FiO2 in patient presenting with interstitial syndrome (IS) in the ED. The primary end point considers the null hypothesis to be a negative linear distribution for LUSS and PaO2/FiO2 values. Secondary objectives and secondary end points One of the secondary objectives is to assess the correlation between the LUSS and PaCO2 in patient presenting with IS in the ED. The end point of this secondary outcome considers the null hypothesis to be a positive linear distribution for the LUSS and PaCO2 values. Another secondary objective is to determine the influence of the presence of unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion on the correlation between LUSS and PaO2/FiO2. The end point of this secondary outcome considers the null hypothesis to be a negative linear distribution for LUSS and PaO2/FiO in those three sub-groups: absence of pleural effusion group, unilateral pleural effusion group and bilateral pleural effusion group.
Methods 123 patients were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial at Eskenazi Hospital from April 2020 until October 2020. We permitted patients to either use their own mask (due to low resources institutionally) or we provided a surgical/cloth mask (early on relied on donated cloth masks for patients). Patients were randomized to a control (no tape over the mask/nose) or to the intervention (placing tape over the bridge of the nose of the face mask). Patients were evaluated at 30- and 60- minute intervals to assess for proper mask usage.
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a continuous needle tracking system on the accuracy, speed, and quality of ultrasound-guided peripheral venous catheter insertion.
