Attempted suicide remains difficult for clinicians to predict with some established risk factors. We investigate the detailed characteristics of attempted especially according age and methods attempts.A retrospective study was conducted evaluate patients who visited emergency department due suicide. A medical record review all presented (ED) two tertiary teaching hospitals in Korea after attempt between January 1, 2010, December 31, 2017 performed. Demographic information variables (methods...
Abstract Background Sepsis is a series of organ failures caused by dysregulated responses to infection. Risk factors for sepsis are multiple comorbidities, poor nutrition status, and limited mobility. The primary purpose the study was determine whether ambulation ability with albumin C-reactive protein predictive 28-day mortality elderly patients sepsis. Methods This retrospective observational using multicentre-based registry between November 2016 February 2017. inclusion criteria were...
The United Kingdom guideline for acute paracetamol overdose has recommended the use of '100-treatment line'. Emergency medical centers in some developing countries lack resources timely reporting concentrations, hence treatment depends on reported dose. This study aimed to examine whether using an dose is safe predict concentration above 100-line.Data were retrieved from two emergency retrospectively, between 2010 and 2017. inclusion criteria single overdose, presentation within 15 h, age ≥...
Background. This study aimed at investigating whether the length of stay (LOS) in emergency department (ED) is associated with mortality elderly patients infections admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Delayed admission ICU may be adverse clinical outcomes infections. Methods. was a retrospective conducted subjects over 65 years age from 5 EDs. We recorded demographic data, findings, initial laboratory results, and ED LOS. Outcomes were all-cause in-hospital hospital A multivariable...
Introduction: Kyushin ® is a widely used herbal medicine in East Asia for heart failure. Toad venom present , which has positive inotropic effect as digitoxin. Case presentation: An 81-year-old, female patient presented with decreased mental status after overdose of . The first electrocardiogram showed junctional tachycardia 142/min, suddenly dropped to 27/min and followed by ventricular fibrillation. After one cycle CPR, spontaneous circulation returned but bradycardia, tachycardia,...
ObjectivesTo investigate whether initial blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in emergency department (ED) are associated with mortality elderly patients genitourinary tract infections.MethodsA total of 541 infections 5 EDs between November 2016 February 2017 were included retrospectively reviewed. We assessed age, sex, comorbidities, vital signs, laboratory results, including BUN, NLR SOFA criteria. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital...
Zoletil is a combination of tiletamine hydrochloride and zolazepam used as veterinary anesthetic. Although zoletil abuse widely known, poisoning for the purpose suicide very rare. We present case 39-year-old man who attempted by intravenously injecting large amount zoletil, resulting in decreased mental status severe respiratory depression. Intubation mechanical ventilation were applied. After 30 hours hospital, all symptoms improved. Because can cause depression, close observation...
Purpose: In 2012, a revised guideline for acute acetaminophen overdose was proposed in the UK, recommending that treatment threshold should be lowered to 100 mcg/ml at 4 hours after ingestion without risk stratification of hepatotoxicity. However, poison centers some developing countries do not have laboratory resources provide serum drug levels time. The primary aim study is evaluate cut-off value reported dose per kilogram determine when N-acetylcysteine warranted under guideline. Methods:...
Purpose: Propranolol is widely prescribed to psychiatric patients control adrenergic symptoms. However, propranolol poisoning can be fatal due cardiovascular complications. We analyzed associations between blood levels of and patients’ clinical features, with the aim predicting progression severe complications.Methods: Data were collected from aged 18 years or older who presented emergency department January 2016 May 2022. retrospectively their medical records compared those had...
Purpose: The Prescott nomogram has been utilized to forecast hepatotoxicity from acute acetaminophen poisoning. In developing countries, emergency medical centers lack the resources report concentrations; thus, commencement and cessation of treatment are based on reported dose. This study investigated risk factors that can predict detection after 15 hours for safe termination.Methods: Data were collected an urban center 2010 2020. included patients ≥14 years age with poisoning within hours....
Purpose We aimed to identify the factors associated with repeated febrile seizures (RFS), defined as recurrent during same illness. Methods reviewed medical records of children seizure who visited 4 academic emergency departments from October 2016 through September 2018. Differences were identified in variables regarding clinical and laboratory characteristics between without RFS. The RFS was primary outcome. Logistic regression conducted occurrence Results Among 1,551 children, 922 included...
Purpose: In patients with acute drug overdose, identification of drugs ingested is crucial to make a precise diagnosis. most cases, the diagnoses are made on medical history and physical examination findings. This study was undertaken determine concordance diagnosis basis patient by comparing it urine toxicology analysis. Methods: retrospective intoxicated over 18 years old who presented emergency center from 2017 2019. Specimens were tested using ultra-performance liquid...
