To create a state-of-the-art overview of the new and expanding role ultrasonography in clinical decision-making, intervention management upper lower airways, that is clinically relevant, up-to-date practically useful for clinicians.
Objective: Sepsis is a frequent cause of admission, but incidence rates based on administrative data have previously produced large differences in estimates. The aim the study was to estimate community-acquired sepsis patients’ symptoms and clinical findings at arrival hospital. Design: Population-based survey. Setting: Medical emergency department from September 1, 2010, August 31, 2011. Patients: All patients were manually reviewed using structured protocol order identify presence...
Background: Non-expandable lung (NEL) has severe implications for patient symptoms and impaired function, as well crucial the management of malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Indwelling catheters have shown good symptom relief patients with NEL; hence, identifying early in their disease is vital. With inability to achieve apposition following thoracentesis formation a hydropneumothorax, traditionally, chest X-ray clinical been used make diagnosis thoracentesis. It our aim investigate whether...
Point-of-care lung ultrasound imaging has substantial diagnostic value and is widely used in respiratory, emergency, critical care medicine. Like other examinations, operator dependent. The current recommendations for competence set a fixed number of procedures to be performed without considering different learning rates. Recommendations do not consider uses across specialties.To create reliable, valid, feasible instrument assess that includes the diverse use among medical specialties.A...
Introduction We aimed to examine if severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cycle quantification (C q ) value, as a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2 viral load, could predict hospitalisation and disease severity in adult patients with 2019 (COVID-19). Methods performed prospective cohort study of PCR positive airway samples including all out-patients registered at the Department Infectious Diseases, Odense University Hospital (OUH) March 9-March...
Abstract Background In a prehospital setting, the severity of respiratory symptoms in patients calling for an ambulance differ. The initial evaluation, diagnosing, and thereby management can be challenging because caused by disease many organs. Ultrasound examinations contribute with important information support clinical decision-making. However, ultrasound is user-dependent requires sufficient knowledge training. aim this study was to explore quality thoracic performed on emergency medical...
Background Credible measures of disease incidence, trends and mortality can be obtained through surveillance using manual chart review, but this is both time-consuming expensive. ICD-10 discharge diagnoses are used as surrogate markers infection, knowledge on the validity infections in general sparse. The aim study was to determine how well identify patients with community-acquired a medical emergency department (ED), overall related sites infection patient characteristics. Methods We...
An improved prehospital diagnostic accuracy of cardiogenic pulmonary oedema could potentially improve initial treatment, triage, and outcome. A pilot study was conducted to assess the feasibility, time-use, lung ultrasound (PLUS) for diagnosis oedema.A prospective observational in a setting. Patients were included if physician based mobile emergency care unit activated one or more following two present: respiratory rate >30/min., oxygen saturation <90 %. Exclusion criteria were: age <18...
Abstract Background Point-of-Care ultrasound (POCUS) changes the management in specific groups of patients Emergency Department (ED). It seems intuitive that POCUS holds an unexploited potential on a wide variety patients. However, little is known about effect broad spectrum unselected ED. This study aimed to identify clinical if was applied Secondarily predictors changing management. Methods blinded observational single center trial. A basic whole body protocol performed extension physical...
To determine the diagnostic accuracy of thoracic ultrasound (TUS) for detecting interstitial lung disease (ILD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with respiratory symptoms.
BackgroundPrevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients referred to diagnostic imaging is decreasing, indicating a need for improving patient selection. The aim this study was assess reduction referral by integrating bespoke ultrasound protocol and describe associated failure rate adverse events with suspected PE.MethodsIn randomized open-label multicentre trial spanning June 18, 2021, through Feb 1, 2023, adult PE 1) Wells score 0–6 elevated age-adjusted D-dimer or 2) >6 were randomly...
Abstract Background and study aims The number of procedures needed to acquire a sufficient level skills perform an unassisted evaluation small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is unknown. We aimed establish learning curves, diagnostic accuracy, the for reviewing endoscopies unassisted. Methods An expert panel developed 1-day course including lessons (examination, anatomy, pathology) hands-on training. After completing course, participants received 50 cases in randomized sequence. interactive...
Objective: Ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic tool in the work-up of dyspnea and can identify even small pleural effusions. The incorporation shear wave elastography (SWE) represents possible stratifying effusions by risk underlying malignancy. No previous studies on ultrasound with SWE have been conducted an emergency department (ED), where such stratification might clinical impact hastening referrals for objective this study was to appraise accuracy ultrasonographic findings associated...
Background Iatrogenic pneumothorax is a common complication of diagnostic and therapeutic pulmonary procedures. New guidelines on primary spontaneous suggest ambulatory approaches may be suitable. However, guidance iatrogenic occurring in patients with impaired lung function, increased age, comorbidity frailty lacking, the safety profile management not known. The objective was to study treated chest tubes identify risks life-threatening events.
While most Danish citizens never or very rarely call the national emergency helpline, 1-1-2, a few often. In this article, we attend to often-unheard voices of frequent callers, exploring why these 1-1-2 and they often do not feel helped. The article is based on mixed-methods study in Central Denmark Region who had called five more times during period six months 2023. drew data, questionnaires, telephone interviews. focus 12 participated semi-structured interview. interviews were transcribed...
