Filter by:Most of the recommendations regarding pain management in emergency abdominal surgery are extracted from data from elective abdominal surgery. However, surgery in the emergency settings differs from the elective settings in the extent stress and the pain which is usually present preoperatively; therefore, it is expected to have different analgesic requirements and different response to pain management interventions in emergency surgery. Abdominal wall blocks are increasingly used in abdominal surgery. However, data regarding their efficacy in emergency setting are lacking. Oblique-subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (OS-TAPB) is a variation of the subcostal TAPB that could achieve effective analgesia for both upper and lower parts of the abdomen. The TAPB characterized by being easy to perform and does not require patient repositioning. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is another abdominal wall block that showed good analgesic effect following various elective open abdominal surgeries, but the block requires patient repositioning before block performance. In elective abdominal surgeries, the current evidence slightly supports ESPB over the TAPB. We hypothesize that the difference between the two blocks would be more apparent in in emergency surgery due to the type of incision, extent of tissue manipulation, and severity of pain.
Over the years, there has been an increase in the flow of emergency rooms, which is gradually leading to an overcrowding of emergency unit. This overcrowding is multifactorial with, for example, a decrease in the outpatient care in family medicine and specialized medicine, emergency services unsuitable at the level of premises ... In parallel, investigator note in recent years facilitated access to internet and especially to GAFA which is the acronym for Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple. As a result, patients have 24-hour access to medical information via websites, blogs and social networks. This information of, often, unreliable medical information can lead to ambiguity among patients about the need for urgent or delayed intervention in the management of their symptoms. In fact, "everything becomes urgent". To date, in France, no study has evaluated the impact and prevalence of consulting a website for medical purposes before consulting an emergency service. The objective of this research will be to assess, in patients presenting in an emergency department, the prior consultation of medical information on a website, the impact on the emergency consultation decision and the relevance of this consultation.
Each year more than 15 million French people visit the emergency services and almost 80% of them come out without hospitalization after having undergone a clinical examination and possibly additional examinations.
The purpose of this dual-site quasi-experimental pilot study is to evaluate if the implementation of an educational intervention paired with an environmental assessment to address accessibility barriers is associated with improvement in staff knowledge and skills, and adherence to national guidelines for use (evaluation in the knowledge transfer framework) in an emergency department (ED) setting.
Multicenter, prospective, uncontrolled study to evaluate variations in urinary concentrations of TIMP-2 and PCI IGFBP7 induced injection during a CT scan in intensive care patient.
The tools to measure safety culture (CS) have recently become available. No study has focused on the measure in France, apart from pilot studies. intensive services are particularly at risk of serious adverse events occurred (SAEs). Patients who are hospitalized are in fact fragile and precarious clinical condition requires rapid decision taken often. Diagnostic or therapeutic strategies have report "risk-benefit" narrow. They may well be complicated by EIG.Safety of care is a priority in the field of health in general, and especially in intensive care. CS measure in this context seems particularly relevant. The main objective is to describe the CS intensive care units in France. The study will explore the development of the CS level for the units investigated. This study will also describe the main features of RMM practiced in intensive care units in France.
Since the number of air travelers, including the elderly and passengers with an underlying disease, is increasing every year, the number of inflight emergency patients is expected to increase as well. The investigators attempted to identify the incidence and types of inflight medical emergencies and analyze the first aid performed by cabin crew members or medical volunteers in flights by an Asian airline. The investigators also investigated the causes of inflight deaths and aircraft diversions.
EMERGENCY GENERAL SURGERY IN GERIATRIC PATIENTS: EPIDEMIOLOGY, AND EVALUATION OF FACTORS AFFECTING MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY
This study aims to establish clinical evidence for the use of scoop stretchers in the sports setting for spinal immobilisation and transport compared to the traditionally used long back boards through measuring tissue interface pressures over forty five minutes. All participants will be placed on both the scoop stretcher and the long back board for forty five minutes each, with at least 45 minutes between the two tests. A special mat that measures the pressure of the body against the board will be used to determine the pressure forces at certain points of the body touching the board (in mmHg). The participants will also be asked every five minutes during the experiment to rate the comfort of the device. Pressure measures from each participant on each board will be collated and assessed along with each participant's reported pain scores and comfort rating. The measurements from the tissue pressures will be analysed in real-time from the software connected to the pressure-mat and therefore show if pressures increase over time. A comparison between boards will be made.
Investigators aim to evaluate the SEPSIS 3 criterion for "sepsis" and "septic shock" in a prospective manner. Investigators will evaluate qSOFA performances and other SEPSIS 3 criterion in a population of emergency patients with infection
