That task—requiring simultaneous measurements of oxygen saturation from pulse oximetry and arterial blood gases in hundreds or thousands of patients—will likely fall to academic clinicians, who were the first to identify and report the potential scale of the problem. Draft Guidance Document Wong et al. Nature (news).
Written by Jesse McLaren Three patients presented with acute chest pain and ECGs that were labeled by the computer as completely normal, and which was confirmed by the final cardiology interpretation (which is blinded to patient outcome) also as completely normal. The reliability of these ECGs should be based on patient outcome.
TTM2 found no improvement in survival or neurologic outcome among patients randomized to cooling to a target of 33 °C, as compared to controls receiving fever prevention (e.g. Use code PULMCCM15 and get 15% off when you register online. Elsevier explained that their fees are justified to maintain open access (i.e.
A cluster randomized trial using all-cause mortality as an outcome was always needed to determine whether EMR alerts improve outcomes for suspected severe infection. This led the authors to speculate that qSOFA parameters were being documented more diligently on the wards randomized to screening.
5 urban academic EDs, attending charts. Primary outcome: Prescription of ICS on ED discharge from the index visit Secondary outcomes: ICS prescription rates in high-risk subgroups Rates of outpatient follow-up within 30 days of an ED visit for asthma Variation in ICS prescription rates among attending ED physicians.
Her first set of vitals were documented: BP 116/57 Pulse 94bpm Respiratory rate 24/min O2 sat 90% on room air Temp 97F She had been cleaning a Jeep in the sun, and was sunburned. The physician documented “normal sinus rhythm”. The physician documented that she was “improved” and the patient was discharged. The family sued.
On yesterday’s podcast , I talked with Bobby Yeh, an academic cardiologist who made a compelling case for enhancing credibility of observational research. Another problem, which is possibly surmountable, is the conflation of what one can call “patient outcomes” versus “doctor outcomes.”
Assessed clinical practice, outcome, length of stay, safety, and efficacy of both phenylephrine and epinephrine peripherally administered through a push dose. PMID: 36108346 Clinical Question: What is the efficacy and safety of peripherally administered push dose pressors for the treatment of acute hypotension?
His practice is in trauma, emergency general surgery, and critical care with an academic interest in ultrasound and medical simulation. His practice is in trauma, emergency general surgery, and critical care with an academic interest in ultrasound and medical simulation.
My current practice is a hybrid of academic and community sites, and I have worked in myriad community hospitals from busy ones to single coverage critical access hospitals. If you have a difficult outcome, it is helpful to know what risk management support you have at your hospital. Each has its own challenges and lessons.
Outcomes included clinical status when urine culture was available, subsequent antibiotic treatment within seven days and subsequent UTI within 30 days. of patients with follow-up documentation, 70.8% (95% CI 62.9–77.9) The primary outcome was the successful intubation on the second attempt. Of the 74.9% Why does it matter?
He is also the CME editor for Academic Emergency Medicine. He is also the CME editor for Academic Emergency Medicine. The American College of Emergency Physicians ( ACEP ) has a number of documents discussing APPs in the ED. Date: November 19th, 2020 Guest Skeptic: Dr. Corey Heitz is an emergency physician in Roanoke, Virginia.
Quite simply, document your intended personal learning objective; identify a high quality resource that addresses this (article, workshop, conference); document a reflection on your achieved personal learning outcome. Pro-tip on organising and capturing your CPD activities: keep a portfolio. Fowler, S. A., & Lo, A.
What were their outcomes: Physician mothers report having more domestic responsibilities than their partners. Unequal distribution of domestic responsibility has been documented as a factor in the underrepresentation in female physicians in leadership roles in academic medicine as well as contributing to career satisfaction.
Triage documented a complaint of left shoulder pain. We have shown that morphine is associated with worse outcomes (see learning points below) and have published many blog posts about it , such as this one: Another myocardial wall is sacrificed at the altar of the STEMI/NonSTEMI mass delusion (and Opiate pain relief). Milasinovic, D.,
You find her at the desk, asleep with her face on the keyboard, patient documentation half finished. AEM March 2023 * Population: A convenience sample of emergency physicians from a single academic emergency department. Comparison: None * Outcome: A “Readiscore” fatigue score was measured before and during clinical shifts.
Ongoing pain noted throughout all documentation, but after nitro drip and prn morphine, "pain improved to 2/10." Long term outcome unknown but obviously bleak. Association of intravenous morphine use and outcomes in acute coronary syndromes: Results from the CRUSADE Quality Improvement Initiative. Repeat trop 150 ng/L.
Primary Outcome: Diagnostic accuracy of identifying Stanford type A and Stanford type B AoDs Secondary Outcomes: Test characteristics of each of the three individual sonographic findings for diagnosing Stanford type A and Stanford type B AoDs. Prevalence: The prevalence of 3.5 percent was high compared to previously published data.
These were used by two independent reviewers to determine Neonatal Facial Coding System with pain scores. Acad Emerg Med, 2017 This was a single-center (one academic Pediatric Emergency Department) randomized double-blind trial of J-Tip versus EMLA – topical anesthetic (TA) cream for pain relief in 66 infant LPs.
It is well-documented that ED physicians have historically high rates of burnout compared to other specialties as well as a high incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to the general population. The hot debrief allowed for concrete actions to be taken about these issues and for a dedicated plan of action for correction.
Ventilator-associated lung injury and inflammation can occur even during short-term mismanagement can worsen patient outcomes. Consecutive enrollment avoided sampling bias Limitations: Retrospective observational study at a single academic center limits external validity (ie. J Crit Care.
IDSA cites multiple large observational studies showing no improvement in sepsis outcomes at many centers after SEP-1 implementation. ICUs, and a popular research focus for academics, generating a steady stream of papers. It used to be highly prevalent in U.S. Then, in 2009, the condition disappeared completely. Just kidding!
When Pendell and I are coding ECGs for the Queen's training, this is one category: "Definite ischemia, difficult to differentiate between posterior OMI and subendocardial ischemia." Yet this is rarely followed, and patient outcomes like this are the result once in a while. Academic Emergency Medicine 27(S1): S220; May 2020.
emergency department deserves access to an emergency physician no matter their zip code. As your council officer, I commit to ensuring your voice contributes to the best outcome for our College, our members, EM residents, and our patients. There is no substitution for the physician led team. Every patient in a U.S.
Maimonides Medical Center (MMC) is Brooklyn’s largest hospital, an academic quaternary care center with, in normal times, 711 total beds, 66 intensive care beds, and an Emergency Department that treats approximately 120,000 patients per year. On March 9, the first patient with a novel coronavirus infection was admitted to MMC.
Jeff: And while it’s not exactly core EM, we’re going to briefly discuss indications for bariatric surgery, as this is something we don’t often review even in academic training programs. Vitamin D, B12, Calcium, foate, iron, and thiamine deficiencies are all well documented complications.
Cardiac Syncope ("True Syncope") Independent Predictors of Adverse Outcomes condensed from multiple studies 1. Thus, if there is documented sinus bradycardia, and no suspicion of high grade AV block, at the time of the syncope, this is very useful. These premonitory symptoms were negative predictors of adverse outcomes in EGSYS.
Doctors seek therapies that reduce the chance of bad outcomes. When treating patients with suspected coronary disease, typical bad outcomes to prevent are myocardial infarction (MI) and death due to heart disease. The third problem with SCOT-HEART was that it was open-label and MI events were tallied using coding data.
Cognitive and emotional regulation has been disrupted by the CS, and therefore it can take a long time for the brain to resolve it (cerebral atrophy has been documented in pediatric patients). It is not uncommon for at least 1 year of continued academic and other problems before there may be some resolution. Rev Endocr Metab Disord.
original document created by author of post. Academic Press; 2014:39-64. InHospital Outcomes of Tumor Lysis Syndrome: A PopulationBased Study Using the National Inpatient Sample. Pictured below is an algorithm created for simpler visualization of diagnosis and treatment of TLS in the emergency department. Tumor Lysis Syndrome.
He noted that such delays may also affect health outcomes, especially with time-sensitive medical problems, making medical conditions more difficult and expensive to treat. He noted Chapter 170A of the Texas Health & Safety Code, passed in 2022, which prohibits abortions in nearly all circumstances. This is not unusual for Texas.
