Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test giving all medical/non-medical information in the pediatric emergency room(ER). Main questions it aims to answer are: - Does providing medical/non-medical information to parents of patients visiting the emergency room raise the satisfaction with the ER visit? - Does providing medical/non-medical information to parents of patients visiting the emergency room lower the workload of medical staff? 60 participants will be randomly assigned to treatment group and control group. Both groups will communicate freely with the researchers through mobile chat service. Treatment group will get information of medical/non-medical information in emergency room and control group will get information if they need. Before leaving the emergency room, both group will fill out a questionnaire related to satisfaction with the emergency room visits. 5 out of 30 participants of each group will be interviewed about their satisfaction with service. 10 nurses in charge of patients participating in the study record the number of questions directly received and 5 out of 10 nurse will be interviewed about their nursing experience for participants using mobile chatbot service. Researchers will compare treatment group and control group to see if providing medical/non-medical information raise the satisfaction with emergency room visits.
Emergency Departments (EDs) across Ontario are being inundated with unprecedented high patient volumes and a staffing shortage that directly impacts patient care and flow. An area of concern among EDs is the offload zone where patients are brought in by ambulance. EMS offload time is the time it takes paramedics to transfer a patient to the appropriate area within an emergency department and give hospital staff a summary of what concerns the patient is seeking care for. There are multiple factors that may delay this time, including limited staff in the offload area to complete the transfer process due to competing patient care responsibilities. The adaptive staffing model study will look to add a primary care paramedic (PCP) or a registered nurse (RN) in the offload zone during times of high ambulance volume (August to January) to help with patient care within the offload zone. This single-centered community hospital study will evaluate the benefits of having a PCP or RN, compared to the current model, on ambulance offload times, patient safety outcomes, patient treatment times, and staff well-being using three different models of staffing.
This observational study aims to use electronic health records to build an International Big Data Centre in Emergency Medicine, within the Institute of Sciences in Emergency Medicine (ISEM) at the Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. The main questions it seeks to answer are not limited to the following: - Identify the relationship between Emergency Department Length of Stay (EDLOS), Mortality, and Adverse Events (AE) - Identify the risk factors associated with high mortality and AE rate among patients who experience prolonged EDLOS - Other research questions related to emergency medicine, such as building prediction and cluster models for acute diseases
In prehospital emergency setting, tracheal intubation is a frequent procedure (8% of interventions). Its objective is to control and protect upper airways and to optimize ventilation and oxygenation in patients with life-threatening distress. Intubation is a technical procedure which is associated with few difficulties with, in rare cases, the impossibility to do it. There are specificities of the out-of-hospital emergency with some risk factors that have been recognized in this context as well as the impossibility of assessing predictive factors of difficult intubation linked to the patient. The objective of the investigators was to describe the quality of tracheal intubation in prehospital emergency setting.
