Filter by:Objective: Identify modifiable factors that may affect asthma control and the use of emergency room to define customized interventions for the management of asthma prior to emergency room. Emergency department attendance is always a sign of poor balance or control of asthma. In spite of a decrease in the number of deaths that has been halved in 20 years and hospitalization due to asthmatic disease, the use of emergency center for this disease has not decreased. We now know that the passage through emergencies and hospitalization for aggravation of asthma is in itself a factor of mortality. Acting on the determinants of poor balance or control of asthma is essential to further reduce the mortality and morbidity of asthma.
This study's purpose is to test the effects of an electronic health intervention platform developed by Epharmix (also known as CareSignal), which features two-way SMS text messages and phone calls intended to improve clinical outcomes compared to the standard of care. This was a randomized open, blinded end-point (PROBE) trial of adult patients discharged from the ED and referred to a provider for follow-up care. Participants in the intervention arm received a self-scheduling text or phone message that automatically connected them to their referral provider to schedule a follow-up appointment and sent them appointment reminders. Those in the control arm received standard of care written instructions to contact listed referral providers. The primary outcome was time to the follow-up appointment.
Today, pain is a difficult affordable subject in Spain. There are however 187 units of pain care with a consultations rate in emergency center of more than 60%.For example OXYCODONE(opioid analgesic)is widely used while it's under used in Spain. In the same way MEOPA(Kalinox) is a new approach of pain care daily used as well in France (for example in dislocated shoulder pain, or ulceration care...etc) There are lots of studies relative to chronic pain but not too much about acute pain in Spain.That's why we want to focus our study on evaluation of acute pain treatment and efficacy in french and spanish hospital
A prospective study to compare the use of point of care echocardiography versus routine chest radiography for the assessment of central venous catheter placement.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a phone call from a nurse within 1-3 days after discharge from the Emergency Department (ED) decreases return visits to the ED/ hospital admissions/ death (combined outcome) in patients age 65 and above. As secondary outcomes, time to follow up appointment with physician and economic impact of this intervention will be assessed. Patients 65 years of age and older will be randomized following discharge from the ED into one of two groups. Group 1(Intervention) will receive a phone call collecting information about understanding of ED discharge instructions and guiding patient through the discharge instructions, and Group 2 (Placebo) will receive a follow up phone call for a satisfaction survey. We hypothesize return visits to the ED and readmission to the hospital will decrease as a result of the nurse phone call intervention.
The purpose of this study is to find out how prevalent unidentified Mental Health issues are in the pediatric population that visits the Emergency Department in an urban city.
