A national study examining the shift from hourly to RVU-based pay for emergency physicians found no significant changes in productivity, billing intensity, or key operational metrics, suggesting compensation models may not strongly influenc
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.
Non-English-speaking patients experience significantly longer emergency department wait times, especially during crowding, highlighting healthcare inequities that warrant system-level policy responses.
A comprehensive scoping review of 191 studies confirms widespread gender disparities disadvantaging women emergency physicians in compensation, leadership, and recognition, with little improvement over time.
This study examines the duration of end-tidal CO2 monitoring needed to distinguish return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation, finding 7 to 21 minutes depending on witness status and initial
A study comparing physician-based surprise question, AI-driven GEST model, and a combined approach shows improved accuracy and efficiency in predicting 6-month mortality among older ED patients.
Palliative care in emergency medicine is a vital approach focused on early needs recognition, compassionate communication during uncertainty, and sustained clinical presence to aid decision-making and improve patient and family support.
This study assesses the accuracy of emergency physician-interpreted point-of-care ultrasound compared to cardiologist-interpreted consultative echocardiography for detecting right ventricular dysfunction in emergency patients with pulmonary
Pharmacy interventions on ED medication orders increased as clinicians spent more time on shift. The association persisted across roles and shift types, suggesting fatigue-related risks but varying by site.
In selected children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, extracorporeal CPR was associated with higher one-month survival and better neurologic outcomes than continued conventional CPR, though the study was observational and estimates were
A clinical care guideline improved emergency use of nebulized tranexamic acid for post-tonsillectomy bleeding and was associated with fewer returns to the operating room.
A multicenter emergency department study found that CPES performed similarly to sPESI and ESC for short-term PE outcomes, but it better predicted the need for advanced intervention.
A retrospective cohort study reveals that stroke-related disability or mortality after ED discharge for dizziness is rare (0.04% incidence), with most lesions occurring in the anterior fossa. Findings underscore the need for targeted risk s
A novel sixth-gen hs-cTnT assay with a 13 ng/L threshold safely identified twice as many low-risk MI patients at ED presentation vs fifth-gen assays, achieving >99.5% NPV in multinational validation.
A multicenter study shows that observation with deferred CT decision-making significantly reduces CT use in children with blunt abdominal trauma, particularly in cases with intermediate clinician suspicion, without increasing missed injurie
This review synthesizes evidence on sex differences in syncope management, highlighting that while men face higher admission rates and adverse events, these disparities are largely driven by baseline clinical risk factors rather than gender
This study analyzes emergency department visit patterns among suicide decedents, identifying frequent users and a critical 30-day window for intervention after discharge.
This study analyzes how cancer diagnosis timing varies after an emergency department visit, finding that breast cancer faces the longest delays while ovarian cancer is often diagnosed immediately. Factors like comorbidities and primary care
This evidence-based review analyzes the adoption and clinical outcomes of telemedicine for post-ED follow-up, highlighting that while utilization is currently low (2.8%), it offers a safe alternative to in-person care without increasing ret
This study examines the timing and frequency of emergency department visits among individuals who died by suicide. Research identifies frequent ED use as a high-risk indicator and suggests that the 30-day window following an emergency visit
