Psychosocial working conditions and violence prevention climate in German emergency departments – a cross-sectional study
Emergency departments (EDs) are high pressure work environments with several psychosocial job demands, e.g., violence, and job resources, e.g., colleague support. So far, the perceptions of working conditions have been compared between doctors and…
Clinical factors associated with the use of NIV in the pre-hospital setting in adult patients treated for acute COPD exacerbation: a single-center retrospective cohort study
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a cornerstone in the management of acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations with respiratory failure. While extensively studied in hospital settings, limited data exist on its use in the…
Understanding oncologic emergencies and related emergency department visits and hospitalizations: a systematic review
Patients with cancer frequently visit the emergency department (ED) and are at high risk for hospitalization due to severe illness from cancer progression or treatment side effects. With an aging population and rising cancer incidence rates…
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…
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,…
Advancing a machine learning-based decision support tool for pre-hospital assessment of dyspnoea by emergency medical service clinicians: a retrospective observational study
In Sweden with about 10 million inhabitants, there are about one million primary ambulance missions every year. Among them, around 10% are assessed by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) clinicians with the primary symptom of dyspnoea. The risk of death…
Comparison of Standardized Mortality Ratios in seven Dutch EDs based on presenting complaints
Comparison of emergency departments (EDs) becomes more important, but differences are difficult to interpret because of the heterogeneity of the ED population regarding reason for ED presentation. The aim of this study was two-fold: First to compare…
Effectiveness of extended reality technologies in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training: a bayesian network meta-analysis
High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critical to cardiac arrest patients. Extended Reality (XR) technologies, including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR), provide immersive and interactive training,…
Construction and evaluation of a triage assessment model for patients with acute non-traumatic chest pain: mixed retrospective and prospective observational study
Acute non-traumatic chest pain is one of the common complaints in the emergency department and is closely associated with fatal disease. Triage assessment urgently requires the use of simple, rapid tools to screen patients with chest pain for…
Improving prediction accuracy of hospital arrival vital signs using a multi-output machine learning model: a retrospective study of JSAS-registry data
The study included 10,478 patients (median age 70 years; 69% male). The model achieved mean absolute errors of 7.1 bpm for heart rate, 15.7 mmHg for systolic blood pressure, 10.8 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure, 2.9 breaths/min for respiratory…
