Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a significant issue affecting national health policies. The National Emergency Department Information System for Cardiac Arrest (NEDIS-CA) consortium managed prospective registry of out-of-hospital arrest (OHCA) at the emergency department (ED) level. We analyzed NEDIS-CA data from 29 participating hospitals January 2008 to July 2009. primary outcomes were incidence OHCA and final survival discharge. Factors influencing assessed as secondary outcomes....
Objective This study assessed the ability of Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, Simplified Physiology Score (SAPS) II, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) score to predict outcome OHCA patients who underwent therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Methods included treated with TH between January 2010 December 2013. The APACHE SAPS SOFA were calculated at time admission 24 h 48 after intensive care unit admission. was area...
Bystander cardiopulmonary dresuscitation (CPR) improves the survival and neurological outcomes of sudden cardiac arrest patients. The rate bystander CPR is increasing; however, its performance quality has not been evaluated in detail. In this study, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) field quality, we aimed to investigate association between information quality. This retrospective cohort study was based on data included Smart Advanced Life Support (SALS) registry January 2016 December...
Background/Objectives: The clinical impact of automated large vessel occlusion (LVO) detection tools using non-contrast CT (NCCT) is still unknown. We evaluated whether the implementation Heuron ELVO, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven software for triage and notification LVO stroke NCCT, can reduce treatment times improve outcomes in a real-world setting. Methods: compared patients with before (pre-AI cohort, 84 patients) after (post-AI 48 ELVO at comprehensive center. Primary included...
A Nationwide Cross-Sectional StudyIn this study, we evaluated national differences in emergency department (ED) crowding to identify factors significantly associated with institutes and communities across Korea.This was a cross-sectional nationwide observational study using data abstracted from the National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS).We calculated mean occupancy rates quantify ED status divided EDs into three groups according their (cutoffs: 0.5 1.0).Factors potentially...
Abstract This study aimed to determine whether the combination of procalcitonin (PCT) and S100B improves prognostic performance compared either alone in cardiac arrest (CA) patients treated with targeted temperature management (TTM). We performed a prospective cohort CA TTM. PCT levels were obtained at 0, 24, 48, 72 hours after return spontaneous circulation. The was analyzed using each marker 2 markers for predicting poor neurological outcome 3 months mortality 14 days months. A total 97...
Cardiac arrest is often fatal and can be extremely stressful to patients, even if spontaneous rhythm returned. The purpose of this study was analyze the hormonal response after return circulation (ROSC).This a retrospective review chart laboratory findings in single medical facility. patients admitted intensive care unit successful resuscitation out-of-hospital cardiac were retrospectively identified evaluated. Patients with diseases, who received cortisol treatment, those experiencing...
Background: Pneumonia is the most common cause of death among patients with infectious disease in Korea. However, studies pneumonia septic shock presenting to emergency department are limited. The aim this study was investigate prognostic factors associated department. Methods: From January 2008 September 2014, admitted through were retrospectively examined. Results: Of 561,845 who visited department, 398 for shock. 28-day mortality rate these 36.4%. independent old age (>70 yrs) (odds ratio...
Objective:We wanted to assess the trends of CT examinations that were conducted in an adult emergency department (ED). Materials and Methods:We searched medical database identify patients (≥ 18 years) who had visited ED number during period from January 2001 December 2010.We also analyzed types scans performed terms body parts, they as follows; head CTs, facial bone neckl chest abdominal miscellaneous CTs.Further, CTs subdivided angiography others.Results: A total 113656 examined for 409439...
The aims of this study were to describe overcrowding in regional emergency departments Seoul, Korea and evaluate the effect crowdedness on ambulance turnaround time.This was conducted between January 2010 December 2010. Patients who transported by 119-responding ambulances 28 centers within Seoul eligible for enrollment. Overcrowding defined as average occupancy rate, which equal number patients staying an department (ED) 4 hours divided beds ED. After selecting groups final analysis,...
Objective We aimed to determine the factors associated with rearrest after prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and examine survival despite rearrest.Methods conducted a prospective multi-regional observational study out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients between August 2015 July 2016. Patients received advanced cardiovascular life support performed by emergency medical technicians (EMTs). EMTs were directly supervised directors (physicians) via real-time smartphone...
Purpose The interest in the personal mobility started to grow and as increases, there are growing concerns about safety of it. purpose study is look at types dynamics patients injured by mobilities. Methods This was a retrospective 2-year observational study, from January 2016 December 2017, on who visited emergency center trauma center, with an injury related driving mobility. Cases mobility-related accident were collected based electronic medical records hospital department-based in-depth...
AIM: To investigate the incidence and general characteristics of sports-related eye injuries in patients visiting Emergency Department. METHODS: A cross-sectional, multi-center, observational study. Patients with an injured who visited Department at one nine hospitals Korea were enrolled. All data prospectively collected between March September 2010 using a questionnaire. Eye that occurred during risky sports examined by gender age. Additionally, rate open globe without protective eyewear...
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy bedside ultrasound (US) performed by emergency physicians for diagnosing skull fractures in children 0 4 years old compared with head computed tomography (CT). We also sought characteristics and precautions associated US. Methods This single-center prospective involved who had a history trauma. Bedside US medicine physicians, results were CT scan interpretations provided attending radiologists. diagnosis calculated, errors...
Trampoline-related injuries are steadily increasing. To our knowledge, there have been very few studies on trampoline in Asia. The purpose of this study is to report the characteristics pediatric Korea.We conducted a nationwide retrospective cohort study. Data were collected from prospective databases (Emergency Department-based Injury In-depth Surveillance Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) patients who visited emergency departments (EDs) after during 2011-2016.Of 263712...
This study aimed to examine whether injury severity differs with respect age among elderly pedestrians involved in traffic accidents and identify factors affecting severity.Using emergency department-based in-depth surveillance data, we analyzed the data of patients aged ≥60 years who were victims pedestrian during 2011 2016. The pedestrians' ages divided into 5-year strata beginning at 60 years. In a multivariate analysis, was classified as severe critical or mild moderate.The analysis...
