Abstract Aims Chest pain is a major cause of medical evaluation at emergency department (ED) and demands observation to exclude the diagnosis acute myocardial infarction (AMI). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays used as isolated measure by 0- 1-h algorithms are accepted rule-in/rule-out strategy, but there lack validation in specific populations. Methods results The IN-HOspital Program systematizE Pain Protocol (IN-HOPE study) multicentre study that prospectively included patients...
To evaluate the feasibility of telemedicine using a standardized multiorgan ultrasound assessment protocol to guide untrained on-site general practitioners at field hospital during life-threatening crisis.We evaluated 11 inpatients with shock, or without acute dyspnea, for whom spontaneously requested remote evaluation by specialist.All accepted and were able position transducer correctly, thus obtaining key images internal jugular vein, lungs, inferior vena cava when guided remotely...
