Filter by:The study was conducted in 250 patients who underwent midline Laparotomy at Kasr Al-Ainy emergency department, Cairo University from August 2017 until March 2018. Factors such as age ,sex, body mass index, substance abuse, previous laparotomy, malignancy, diabetes mellitus , ascites, albumin, renal functions, bilirubin, hemoglobin, intra-abdominal pathology, suture material, creation of stoma, post-operative chest infection, , post-operative paralytic ileus, leakage and wound infection were observed and analyzed with odds ratio and P value
Consenting adult female patient felt by the provider to require gonorrhea/chlamydia endocervical testing will be asked to provide an additional self sample specimen. The specimen will be sent to the laboratory using conventional diagnostic test for gonorrhea/chlamydia.
Management of NSTEMI in emergency departements represent 10% of the global activity. Since the the last European Society of Cardiology recommendation the use of an 1 hour rule-in and rule-out protocol is recommended combined with high-sensitivity troponin. But studies show 3% of the patients are false negative using this protocol. This study aims at analysing the feasibility of this protocol in an Emergency Departement and the security of this protocol if combined with a pre-troponin probability score.
IRM-DU is a prospective observational single center study conducted in an emergency department to evaluate the impact of a MRI scanner exclusively dedicated to emergency in the clinical management of patients presenting with dizziness or diplopia. The study will compare 2 strategies : after and before availability of a MRI scanner dedicated to emergency. The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients with a diagnosis of stroke confirmed by imaging (MRI or Computed tomography (CT)) in the group "before implementation of the emergency MRI scanner" and the group "after implementation of the emergency MRI scanner". The hypothesis is that the availability of a MRI scanner dedicated to emergency will improve the diagnosis of stroke in patients presenting with dizziness or diplopia, and will reduce Emergency Department stay, hospital stay and hospitalisation costs.
This research aims to evaluate a new mode of care for precarious public through a medico-social mediation device after emergencies, with the aim of improving their care and to prevent possible complications. The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of management by a medico-social mediation device set up within 48 hours after leaving emergency on the 90-day emergency readmission rate. people living in precarious situations. prospective randomized interventional trial with two arms. Patients will complete questionnaires assessing precariousness, quality of life, health literacy, and time perspective. Eligible patients (726 subjects) are randomized : control group (usual management) or experimental group (patient is contacted within 48 hours by a medico-social mediator familiar with the territory), and followed for 90 days by the latter, in order to optimize and secure the care path. Readmissions are identified from emergency database and Regional Emergency Terminal and documented. Patients in the experimental group benefit from the support of a local health mediator who carries out a diagnosis of the person's needs in order to follow his or her care path in an optimal way. It implements and ensures with the patient and his entourage the follow-up of the care through his network of professionals of the social sector and the health. The study will be under the responsibility of a multidisciplinary scientific committee experienced in public health, epidemiology and social psychology of health, in the field of emergencies, precariousness and medico-social mediation, and excellent knowledge. territories concerned.
This study compares food insecurity disclosure rates in face-to-face interviews versus electronic formats, and explores caregiver preferences regarding screening modality and location, in a large, urban pediatric emergency department. Half of the participants were screened for food insecurity verbally, face-to-face by a research assistant, and half of the participants were screened electronically by a tablet.
The purpose of the study is to collect images data sets from clinical cases and periodic user feedback on the Next Generation Venue ultrasound system under clinical conditions. This is a medical device study designed as a clinical, open label, unblinded, non-randomized, prospective, feasibility research study.
Comparison of three different pediatric emergency rulers for length-based body weight estimation in pediatric emergencies. Primary outcome is the time needed to identify four defined parameters from the pediatric emergency rulers during a low-fidelity pediatric emergency scenario (cardiac arrest). Secondary outcome is the correctness of the identified parameters and the percentage deviation from the correct value.
A large number of patients presenting to the emergency department will have an invasive or potentially painful treatment (suture, urinary catheterization, reduction of dislocation or fracture). This care is a source of pain and anxiety for patients. Since 1998, the management of pain is a public health priority in France. Law No. 2002-3003 of 4 March 2002 on the rights of the sick and the quality of the health system has made pain management a right: "Everyone has the right to receive care to relieve his pain. This must be in all circumstances prevented, evaluated, taken into account and treated ". In emergency departments, the use of antalgic drug treatments and local anesthetics is systematic.
