The randomized controlled study aims was to investigate the pain control of Battle Field Acupuncture as Primary or Adjunctive Treatment in Back Pain (Acute Musculoskeletal pain) in the (acute pain setting) Emergency Department vs stand of care pain medications.
The results of the SIDED study (doi: 10.1186 / s13054-019-2329-5) showed that MR-proADM can be a good biomarker to establish the prognosis of patients attended in the emergency department (ED) due to suspected infection. MR-proADM could be useful to help making-decision regarding admission or discharge of patients, and in addicion to determine the need to apply or not early antibiotic treatment. However, despite analyzing more than 2,500 patients from 8 countries, the original study had a number of limitations. Samples of the biomarkers were retrospectively analyzed in a device that is not routinely used in the ED (Kryptor, Thermo Fisher, Germany). The availability of MR-proADM at the point of care could facilitate its widespread use in all EDs. This study is conducted to confirm the results of the SIDED study by using a device at the patient's bedside that allows the quantitative determination of the MR-proADM and procalcitonin biomarkers, instead of using a Kryptor platform.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of a strategy aimed at increasing alveolar recruitment (high PEEP levels adjusted according to driving pressure and recruitment maneuvers) with that of a strategy aimed at minimizing alveolar distension (low PEEP level without recruitment maneuver) on postoperative respiratory failure and mortality in patients receiving low VT ventilation during emergency abdominal surgery.
Attendances at an emergency department (ED) are often considered to depend on different factors such as moonlight, welfare checks, weather, and major sporting events. Data regarding effects of large sporting events on the workload of ED often assessed decreased patient volume, especially male use. Currently, no data are available on the effect of major televised sporting events on obstetrical visits. The aim of this study is to examine whether televised soccer games from a major sporting tournament, (Euro 2016) influence the level of attendance at an obstetrical ED and could have implications for women's welfare. In the summer of 2016, France hosted the largest European sporting event of the year 2016: the European Football Championships (Euro 2016). A total of 51 games were played over a month, bringing together the biggest European teams. An observational, retrospective study is conducted during this period on the number of emergency visits in a French tertiary Maternity hospital (Maternity of Nancy).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a virtual reality (VR) distraction game played prior to procedural sedation for long bone fracture reduction will improve post-discharge negative behavior changes following discharge from the pediatric Emergency Department (ED).
Pain relief and functional impairment have been shown to remain poor to moderate over weeks after emergency department discharge, in patients who seek ED management for acute nontraumatic, nonradicular low back pain. The investigators made the hypothesis that ultrasound-guided interfascial infiltration of local anesthesics and corticoid is efficient and safe in treating patients presenting to the ED with acute non specific low back pain. The investigators aimed to compare early and short term functional impairment and pain relief one day and 1 week after interfacial infiltration, as compared to standard medical treatment
prospective multicenter observational study. Parents whose children meet the inclusion criteria complete a questionnaire assessing the child's follow-up, the management of the current asthma attack, and the treatment provided at home. The main objective is to calculate the prevalence of placement of short-acting bronchodilators. The secondary objectives are to describe the factors associated with their implementation.
The aim of the study is the characterization of parameters from medical history, physical examination and diagnostics, which correlate with and could be used to predict diuretic efficacy.
French population grows older year after year: 24.3% people were over 60 years old in 2006 against 20.6% in 2000 and the expected number might be over 33% in 2050. The elderly suffer from lots of illnesses, so they usually take lots of drugs. Therefore, this drug use is most likely to have adverse drug reactions. Finally, according to Health Ministry, the number of emergency department consultations doubled from 1996 to 2016. Consequently, it is interesting to study the impact of drug iatrogenic effects on emergency consultations. It would help to prevent these adverse drug reactions as we prescribe those drugs : First, do not harm.
