Fundamental care in the emergency room: insights from patients with life-threatening conditions in the emergency room
Despite being life-threateningly ill or injured, patients were still able to describe their unique needs—which were not only related to biomedical care. A relationship was established between healthcare professionals and the patient in the initial…
Outcome of video laryngoscopy versus direct laryngoscopy for emergency tracheal intubation in emergency department: a propensity score matching analysis
The study included 3,424 patients, with 342 in the VL group and 3,082 in the DL group. The initial analysis revealed no significant differences in the intubation success rates between the two methods. However, the VL group experienced fewer…
Correlation between the accuracy of the emergency response centre’s urgency assessment and emergency medical services non-conveyance: a retrospective register-based study in Finland
The proportion of over-triage was the only urgency assessment’s test performance variable that had a statistically significant correlation with the proportion of non-conveyance (r = 0.568; p = 0.003). Other test performance variables of the urgency…
Effectiveness of intraosseous access during resuscitation: a retrospective cohort study
Of the 109,548 patients that were admitted to the ED, 25,686 IV lines were inserted. Documentation of 188 patients of which 73 (38.8%) children was complete and used for analysis. In these 188 patients, a total of 232 IO accesses were placed.…
Prolonged length of stay and associated factors among emergency department patients in Ethiopia: systematic review and meta-analysis
We have identified eight articles that met our inclusion criteria with a total sample size of 8,612 participants. The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that the pooled estimate for the prevalence of prolonged EDLOS is…
Sepsis management in pre-hospital care – the earlier, the better?
Emergency medical services often serve as the initial point of contact for septic patients, offering crucial pre-hospital intervention opportunities. However, the efficacy of pre-hospital interventions remains uncertain. From this perspective, we’ll…
