Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) accounts for more than 1 million emergency visits each year. Most of the injured stay in department a few hours and are discharged home without specific follow-up plan because their negative clinical structural imaging. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly functional MRI (fMRI), has been reported as being sensitive to disturbances after injury. In this study, cohort 12 patients with mTBI were prospectively recruited from our local Level-1...
Abstract Objectives Progressive organ dysfunction is the leading cause of sepsis‐associated mortality; however, its incidence and management are incompletely understood. Sepsis patients with moderately impaired perfusion (serum lactate 2.0 to 3.9 mmol/L) who not in hemodynamic shock (“preshock” sepsis patients) may be at increased risk for progressive mortality. The objectives this study were to: 1) quantify occurrence among preshock patients, 2) examine if there baseline differences...
Pneumonia is among the foremost causes of hospitalization and mortality in patients residing extended care facilities. Despite its prevalence, there currently little literature focusing on course management nursing home-acquired pneumonia (NHAP) emergency department (ED). Our objective was to investigate ED presentation, course, outcomes admitted through with NHAP. A retrospective chart review home a presumptive or final diagnosis performed at two large hospitals Detroit, Michigan. total 296...
To study the relationship between health literacy (HL) and socioeconomic, demographic factors disease-specific illness beliefs among patients who present to emergency department with heart failure (HF).Maintenance of well-being for HF is partially dependent on appropriate self-care behaviors, which, in turn, are influenced by underlying beliefs. HL a potential modifier interaction behaviors There have been limited investigations studying this individuals acute HF.A cross-sectional...
Background: There is currently no validated predictor of futility, defined as the inability to obtain ROSC, (IOR), and therefore specific guidelines for cessation resuscitation. Previous literature suggests that ETCO2 values ?10 are predictive IOR. Cerebral Oximetry (CerOx) uses near infrared light non-invasively measure regional O2 saturation in frontal lobes brain. CerOx has been shown pilot studies identify ROSC 85% arrests. Objective: The study’s objective was compare measurements during...
Background: Previous literature has identified ETCO2 as a good predictor of ROSC. Cerebral Oximetry (CerOx) utilizes near infrared spectroscopy to non-invasively measure regional O2 saturation the frontal lobes brain. Objectives: The objective this study is compare predictive value simultaneously measured and CerOx for ROSC during CPR. Methods: We conducted an IRB approved, prospective on convenience sample subjects suffering cardiac arrest. Subjects were monitored with CPR performed in ED....
Currently there are no high-quality screening criteria for the need CT scan in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Recent evidence suggests that changes from mTBI too subtle to picked up by conventional imaging techniques and electrophysiological abnormalities emerge earlier than structural changes. The present study was designed investigate whether Brainscope quantitative EEG (qEEG) can be readily adapted ED environment play a role initial triage of patients. Patients between ages 18 80,...
