National survey on availability, use and clinical impact of point-of-care blood analysis systems in Swedish emergency departments
Expedited diagnostic results are important in time sensitive operations like the Emergency Department (ED). Point-of-care testing (POCT) is used for a broad range of blood tests reducing wait times and providing faster decisions on patient management…
Navigating emotions, communication, and pain during prehospital labour: a mixed-methods survey with emergency ambulance services
Despite their crucial role in prehospital obstetric emergencies, there is little research exploring emergency medical service (EMS) personnel’s perspectives and attitudes on out-of-hospital births, including balancing the numerous needs of the…
Nurses’ lived experiences of self-control in emergency settings: a qualitative study
Given nurses’ vital role in emergencies, it is essential to understand their perceptions and strategies for self-control. This study examines nurses’ experiences and insights regarding self-control during high-pressure scenarios. The findings could…
Outcomes of an Emergency Department opioid alternatives Program implemented within a safety-net hospital system
The ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States has reinforced the need to provide multimodal and non-opioid pain management interventions. The PAMI-ED ALT program employed a multifaceted approach in the Emergency Department (ED) developing…
Paramedics and emergency medical technicians’ perceptions of geriatric trauma care in Saudi Arabia
Saudi ambulance clinicians face unique challenges in providing prehospital care to older trauma patients. Limited geriatric-specific training and complex needs of this population hinder effective management, leading to adverse outcomes. This study…
Perceived disaster preparedness, knowledge, and skills among Sudanese healthcare professionals during the armed conflict: cross-sectional study, 2024
Disaster preparedness is a critical component of healthcare, especially in regions prone to crisis. Sudan has faced significant challenges, including armed conflict, the displacement of millions, and outbreaks of diseases such as COVID-19, acute…
Performance of machine learning models in predicting difficult laryngoscopy in the emergency department: a single-centre retrospective study comparing with conventional regression method
Emergency endotracheal intubation is a critical skill for managing airway emergencies in the emergency department (ED). Accurate prediction of difficult laryngoscopy is essential for improving first-attempt success, minimizing complications,…
Predicting emergency department admissions using a machine-learning algorithm: a proof of concept with retrospective study
Overcrowding in emergency departments (ED) is a major public health issue, leading to increased workload and exhaustion for the teams, resulting poor outcomes. It seems interesting to be able to predict the admissions of patients in the ED.
Predicting high-risk return at emergency department presentation for patients who undergo short-term revisits: the HANDLE-24 score
The 72-h emergency department (ED) revisit rate is a key quality indicator. While some revisits stem from medical errors or inadequate initial treatment, others are due to disease progression or a lack of accessible care. The development of a risk…
Predictive performance of prehospital trauma triage tools for resuscitative interventions within 24 hours in high-risk or life-threatening prehospital trauma patients
Several prehospital trauma triage tools have been recently developed, but no standardized tools currently exist to identify trauma patients at risk of requiring resuscitative interventions (RIs) within the first 24 h post-injury and to prioritize…
