No single universal definition of emergency department (ED) overcrowding exists. The authors hypothesize that a previously developed site-sampling form for academic ED is valid model to quantify in institutions and can be used develop validated short correlates with overcrowding.A 23-question was designed based on input from physicians at eight medical schools representative EDs nationwide. A total 336 site-samplings centers were conducted 42 computer-generated random times over three-week...
Cardiovascular resuscitation of the severely injured patient in field remains unsatisfactory because large volumes intravenous fluid are needed to keep up with ongoing blood losses and only small can be given. In first study reported here, (less than or equal 12 mL/kg) 3% NaCl were given patients who having surgery for severe injuries. The restored pressure, pH, urine output approximately one half cumulative requirement received isotonic fluids (p less 0.05). a second study, 7.5%...
To survey the directors of emergency departments in California on their opinions extent and factors associated with overcrowding departments.Surveys were mailed to a random sample department directors. Questions included estimated magnitude, frequency, causes, effects overcrowding.Of 160 surveyed, 113 (71%) responded, 109 (96%) reported as problem. All (n = 21) university or county hospital most 88 [96%]) private community overcrowding. The 4 reporting no serve smaller communities...
In The Netherlands, the state of emergency department (ED) crowding is unknown. Anecdotal evidence suggests that current ED patients experience a longer length stay (LOS) compared to some years ago, which indicative crowding. However, no multicenter studies have been performed quantify LOS and assess at Dutch EDs. We this study describe departments in Netherlands regarding patients' nurse managers' experiences A survey was sent all 94 managers with questions type facility, annual census,...
