Filter by: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
Since the beginning of the Syria conflict in March 2011, more than 10 million Syrians were forced to leave their homes and sought refuge in neighboring countries.
Acute musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, including strains, sprains or contusions, are a common reason patients seek emergency care. Pain control is an essential component of treatment. Within the orthopedic literature, there is robust body of research supporting the use of cryotherapy for post-operative patients and injured athletes. However, within the emergency department (ED), studies have been focused on pharmacologic analgesia. The absence of evidence on optimal method or impact of ice therapy for acute MSK injuries contributes to inconsistent practice patterns that may impede symptom control or increase narcotic usage. The specific aim of the ICED investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of intensive cryotherapy for the treatment of pain due to acute MSK injuries treated in the ED. Secondary outcomes include length-of-stay (LOS), patient satisfaction, and narcotic usage.
