Causes and consequences of overcrowding
in emergency departments and its impact
on patients’ care at main governmental
hospitals in Gaza Strip: a cross-sectional study
Background Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a growing challenge in many healthcare systems,
particularly in resource-limited settings such as the Gaza Strip. It negatively affects patient care quality, staff
performance, and overall…

Comparison of the effects of microlearning and webinars on knowledge and self-efficacy of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias
Background Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac
arrhythmias. Continuous training is needed, and innovative methods such as microlearning and webinars may offer
advantages over traditional…

Factors associated with the phenomenon of overcrowding in the emergency
department: a retrospective cohort study
Objectives Emergency departments (EDs) have been confronted with growing demand for several decades.
However, the strain on EDs is generally not evenly distributed across the year, as some days are at increased risk
of overcrowding compared to…

Electrocardiogram sonification accelerates detection of ST elevation myocardial infarction compared to analysis based solely on visual display: a randomized controlled simulation study with medical students
Purpose A 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is the standard diagnostic method for the detection of an acute coronary
syndrome, as it is also used in emergency medical services. A novel sonification method can convert an important
part of the ECG…

Identifying optimal locations for automated external defibrillators (AED) in Freiburg: development and validation of a machine learning model based on demographic and infrastructural data
Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a critical medical emergency where rapid access to automated
external defibrillators (AED) can significantly improve survival rates. However, there is currently a lack of well-
established…

Association between emergency department bed occupancy rate and in-hospital cardiac arrest in the emergency department: a retrospective study
Background In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a critical event often preceded by signs of clinical deterioration.
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding may compromise timely monitoring and intervention and may be
associated with a higher…

Respiratory National Early Warning Score
for 28-day mortality prediction in suspected
sepsis patients in the emergency department
Background Most early warning scores were derived in heterogeneous acutely ill populations and are not
specifically tailored to patients with suspected sepsis in the emergency department (ED). In sepsis, respiratory rate
(RR) is frequently elevated…

Emergency department presentations of older patients in Germany: high rates of ambulatory care–sensitive conditions and increased odds of inpatient mortality in patients living with dementia
Background The crowding of emergency departments (ED) in Germany and many other countries has been a well-
known problem and the ageing population is posing additional and very specific challenges to EDs as older patients
may present with…
