Filter by:This study will be conducted to evaluate the effects of an educational asthma program on the frequency of emergency department visits and identifying factors associated with frequent emergency department visits by asthmatic children and determine its effect on asthma severity and quality of life among asthmatic children and their caregivers.
INVICTUS PED primary objective is to show the non-inferiority of an empirical antibiotic therapeutic management guided by the early detection of integrons in the urine, compared to a usual empirical antibiotic treatment, for the recovery of children admitted to the pediatric emergency department (ED) with a non-severe urinary tract infection (UTI) with fever
Syncope (fainting) is a common reason for emergency department (ED) presentation. Fainting can be caused by heart conditions such as irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can be life-threatening, structural heart problems, or serious conditions not related to the heart. The standard or usual treatment for the majority of patients at-risk for irregular heart rhythm is getting discharged home with no heart rhythm monitoring. If patients receive any monitoring, only Holter monitoring device that records all heart beats for 24 hours to 72 hours will be used. One-third to half of irregular heart rhythm will be identified only after patients are either discharged from the ED or hospitalized in an inpatient unit. One-third to half of irregular heart rhythm will be identified only after patients are either discharged from the ED or hospitalized in an inpatient unit. The study hypothesize that prolonged live cardiac rhythm monitoring (15 days) of at-risk syncope patients, discharged from the ED, will lead to identification of irregular heart rhythm, which can lead to improved patient safety and lower healthcare costs.
Meningitis is the development of an inflammatory reaction in the meningeal space, most often of infectious origin. Many pathogens can cause meningitis, the severity of which varies greatly. Patients presenting with a febrile meningeal syndrome are most often managed in the emergency room, where the challenge for physicians is to quickly differentiate bacterial and viral meningitis. Viral meningitis is the most common, with enterovirus meningitis having a classically excellent prognosis. Bacterial meningitis is less frequent but more serious.The current public health objective is to save antibiotics. Investigator hypothesizes that the BMS score can be used to exclude bacterial meningitis in the emergency department in an adult European population of patients with suspected bacterial meningitis.
This study is an observational, prospective study examining the role point-of-care echocardiography of predicting short term adverse outcomes in emergency department patients with acute pulmonary embolism. The primary objective is to assess the diagnostic performance of ultrasound-guided measures of right ventricular dilation (RVD) and strain in predicting clinical outcomes in acute PE. The secondary objective is to investigate the utility of combining ultrasound-guided measures of RVD and the pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) score in predicting adverse outcomes in acute PE.
HearVA involves six VA facility emergency departments (ED) over a 3-year intervention period. The first part of this study will test whether providing personal amplifiers to Veteran ED patients who self-report hearing difficulty is acceptable to these patients, can improve their hearing, enhance understanding of discharge instructions, and can reduce the risk of coming back to the ED in a short period of time (3 days and 30 days). The second part of the study will then identify whether ED staff can implement this program and achieve similar results. The second part will give ED staff increasing levels of responsibility for screening Veterans for hearing difficulty and providing personal amplifiers when such difficulty is detected.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of chat-based intervention on reducing risky alcohol consumption to inform clinical practice for providing ABI to risky drinkers attending AED in Hong Kong.
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter trial to compare post-operative complications and long-term results between open and laparoscopic technique in emergency colorectal surgery.
The study aims is to verify the hypothetize that inhaled Tranexamic Acid (TXA) or Terlipressin (TER) will be associated with an increase in the rapid control of hemoptysis without side-effects. This randomized double-blind multicenter triple arm trial compares the administration of TXA to TER to placebo in patients with mild to severe hemoptysis.
Studies have shown that early prevention and warning of cardiac arrest, rapid implementation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and strengthening of organ function protection after resuscitation are the keys to reducing the occurrence of cardiac arrest and improving the prognosis of patients. However, there are still many problems in the field of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in my country: 1) lack of effective prevention and early self-rescue system for cardiac arrest; 2) traditional resuscitation techniques implemented in pre-hospital and emergency rooms and poor results; 3) organs after resuscitation Insufficient protection means and effects. In our early stage, focusing on the above key issues, the study found that 5G technology can help high-risk emergency events including early warning, early detection and first aid of cardiac arrest. Aortic balloon occlusion can significantly improve the effectiveness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Transesophageal and CRRT cooling Can significantly optimize the organ protection intensity of therapeutic hypothermia. On the basis of the preliminary work, this project will carry out the research and development and clinical application of a series of new technologies for cardiac arrest warning and resuscitation, and work hard to help with cardiac arrest. Early warning and treatment of cases provide a set of optimized diagnosis and treatment technical solutions, which has important scientific, clinical and social significance.
