Abstract Background and objectives We created a multitude of initiatives that were in line with the principles BETA (Best Practices Evaluation Treatment Agitation) guidelines to determine if these would reduce physical assault rate by patients on emergency medicine (EM) residents. Methods conducted three cross‐sectional surveys our EM residents (PGY‐1 ‐3) incidence assaults agitated at large county hospital department. These primarily anonymous REDCap administered following intervals: (1)...
Cannabis is often used with other illicit drugs. Drawing from leading theories of polysubstance use, we data the 2009-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to examine prevalence reported lifetime use cannabis cocaine, heroin, and/or methamphetamine among non-pregnant respondents ages 18-59 years. After identifying subpopulation that using multiple drugs, multivariate logistic regression analysis identify their demographic characteristics factors associated drug treatment...
Gabapentinoids increasingly utilized for neuropathic pain, possibly to curb opioid prescribing. At the same time, data suggest subsequent increases in misuse and overdose of gabapentinoids, often mixed overdoses. We sought determine national trends characteristics gabapentinoid prescribing, including co-use with opioids, from emergency department (ED). This is a retrospective review National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) 2012 2021. Our primary outcome was trend ED visits...
Objectives: In recent years many emergency departments (EDs) have adopted interventions to help patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), particularly buprenorphine initiation and ED-based peer recovery support. There are limited data on the impact of navigators provider naloxone kit distribution utilization. We aimed examine a program administration. Methods: This was retrospective study analyzing change in kits distributed as well administrations. Data administrations generated every month...
Introduction: Residency scholarly tracks are educational programs, designed to help trainees develop an area of expertise. Although the breadth residency point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education has developed considerably in recent years, there is no literature date describing specifically POCUS. In this study we sought determine prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes POCUS emergency medicine (EM). Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey EM programs accredited by Accreditation...
There has been little research in an urban population regarding knowledge of harm reduction measures and treatment options. The objective our study was to evaluate perceptions types available for opioid use disorder among patients family emergency department (ED) waiting room.
Introduction Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable asset in bedside clinical care. Undergraduate medical education increasingly using POCUS as an adjunct tool for teaching anatomy, path...
Evidence supports an ultrasound-guided approach in patients with difficult vascular access. Prior research on teaching intravenous access has included only small groups of first- and second-year medical students.We enrolled fourth-year students our module. The module featured a 6-minute prelearning narrated lecture 5-minute orientation, followed by IV placement homemade gel models. Facilitators were emergency medicine (EM) residents prespecified level procedural ultrasound skills according...
The rise in deaths related to substance use has caused a push toward linking patients pharmacological maintenance treatment and, when appropriate, residential facilities. One of the underlying issues subset with disorder (SUD) is chronic pain. We evaluated prevalence and characteristics those facilities that offer programs tailored for co-occurring pain SUD.This study was retrospective review data collected by National Survey Substance Abuse Treatment Services 2019. sent annually all...
Background: Concurrent alcohol intoxication can complicate emergency department (ED) presentations for opioid-related adverse events. We sought to determine if there was a difference in resource utilization among patients who presented the ED with concurrent opioid and compared alone. Methods: Using linked state-wide databases from Maryland Healthcare Cost Utilization Project (HCUP), we identified diagnosis of treated 2016 2018. measured healthcare each patient settings one year after...
Benzodiazepines are commonly misused medications frequently implicated in overdose deaths. Data show that benzodiazepine prescribing is associated with increased misuse. We sought to determine national trends from the emergency department (ED).
This retrospective study analyzed 230 pediatric opioid exposures from a statewide poison control center over 5-year period. Most involved pharmaceutical opioids and children below 2-years-old. Narrative details were reviewed to identify uncommon sources of in poisoning highlight the need for tailored prevention strategies guidance.
The objective of this study was to update and expand on previous studies opioid exposures among young children reported America's Poison Centers®, describe how fentanyl medications for use disorder have contributed.
Emergency department (ED)-initiated buprenorphine provides a low barrier access point and safety net to mitigate opioid overdose risk increase treatment engagement. We sought describe trends patterns of utilization from the ED using national data.
