This study analyzes how the balance between operative and nonoperative management in emergency general surgery for older adults relates to their odds of discharge home, proposing ONR as a novel quality benchmark beyond traditional metrics.
Pediatric mental health ED visits in the US have surged 2016-2022, exhibiting volume-dependent disparities in patient demographics and diagnoses, highlighting opportunities for tailored interventions to enhance care across diverse emergency
This study highlights how early physiologic markers like shock index and hypotension can predict PTSD risk in gunshot wound survivors, while blood transfusion shows an inverse relationship, aiding targeted mental health interventions.
A pilot randomized trial comparing targeted temperature management at 35°C versus normothermia in intubated heatstroke patients showed no survival or neurological benefit from hypothermia but increased gastrointestinal injury and arrhythmia
Less than half of diabetes patients discharged from the emergency department receive timely outpatient follow-up, underscoring critical care continuity gaps that require targeted interventions to improve outcomes.
Health authorities in New York State have confirmed the region’s first case of Bourbon virus , a rare and potentially deadly tick-borne infection for
Diabetes significantly increases inpatient admissions and ED visits across all ages, driven increasingly by nontraditional complications. Age-specific risks reveal shifting patterns in healthcare utilization that call for tailored clinical
This cohort study links changes in emergency department pediatric readiness and inpatient pediatric services over ten years with excess child mortality, highlighting the critical role of hospital preparedness in pediatric survival.
A national study reveals significant variability across EMS agencies in decisions about resuscitation futility and termination for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, highlighting critical impacts on care and outcomes.
A judgment-based binary triage system demonstrated high sensitivity and low undertriage rates in military trauma, supporting its use despite significant overtriage under combat conditions.
A multicenter randomized trial found that initiating a 1-hour resuscitation bundle including early antibiotics, fluids, vasopressors, and hydrocortisone in the prehospital setting did not significantly reduce 28-day mortality in adults with
High-dose rocuronium (>1.2 mg/kg) is associated with improved first-attempt intubation success in ICU patients, though this benefit was not observed in the ED setting. Further randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings.
A multicenter study investigated whether initiating a 1-hour resuscitation bundle—including antibiotics, fluids, vasopressors, and hydrocortisone—in the prehospital setting influences 28-day mortality in septic shock, finding no significant
Secondary analysis of two multicenter trials reveals that high-dose rocuronium (>1.2 mg/kg) improves first-attempt intubation success in ICU patients but not in the emergency department, highlighting a potential dose-dependent effect on
This prospective study from India evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of RIPASA versus Modified Alvarado Score in acute appendicitis, highlighting RIPASA’s superior sensitivity and discrimination in an Asian surgical cohort.
A pilot study demonstrates that ChatGPT-4 can feasibly collect accurate and satisfactory medical histories from pediatric emergency patients, streamlining triage and reducing documentation burden.
This study reveals that providing a resource menu increases caregivers’ desire for social assistance in the pediatric ED, supporting a tiered, patient-centered social care approach prioritizing preference and follow-up.
Non-English-speaking patients experience significantly longer emergency department wait times, especially during crowding, highlighting healthcare inequities that warrant system-level policy responses.
A study of over 94,000 ED visits found that intramuscular chemical sedation during mental health consultations was more common among Black patients, those arriving with EMS or law enforcement, and those on involuntary holds.
