Purpose:In Korea, registration of paraquat-containing herbicides was canceled in November 2011, and sales thereof were completely banned 2012.We evaluated the effect paraquat ban on epidemiology mortality herbicide-induced poisoning.Materials Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients treated for herbicide poisoning at 17 emergency departments South Korea between January 2010 December 2014.The overall rates compared pre-and post-ban.Factors associated with using logistic analysis.To...
Abstract Background/Aim With the recent increased share of stand‐up electric scooters (e‐scooters), it is common to see people riding e‐scooters on roads in Korea. The aim this study was investigate traumatic injuries craniofacial region related e‐scooter accidents and determine role dentists (especially oral maxillofacial surgeons) evaluation patients with trauma at emergency department due an accident. Materials Methods This retrospective investigated medical records who visited Gangnam...
Heart failure patients with pulmonary edema presenting to the emergency department (ED) require an effective approach deliver sufficient oxygen and reduce rate of intubation mechanical ventilation in ED; conventional therapy has proven ineffective delivering enough tissues. We aimed identify whether high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) over time improved respiratory (RR), lactate clearance, certain arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters, comparison therapy, cardiogenic edema. This prospective,...
Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability sonography identify acute epiglottitis in emergency department. Methods Fifteen patients with a final diagnosis from indirect laryngoscopy by an otolaryngologist were enrolled study. To compare normal epiglottis and epiglottitis, 15 healthy volunteers assigned control group. sonographic appearances pre-epiglottic space recorded. anteroposterior diameter at midpoint both edges transverse view measured all participants....
Recent technological advances have led to analyses of the delta neutrophil index (DNI), which reflects fraction circulating immature granulocytes, using specific automated blood cell analyzers. We evaluated significance DNI as a prognostic marker for early severity in patients with acute cholangitis.We retrospectively analyzed initially diagnosed cholangitis at emergency department admission, followed by diagnostic confirmation, during set period. The was determined on each day...
Background The effects of the flipped classroom have been demonstrated in various fields education recent years. Training emergency medicine is also beginning to gradually implement classroom; however, its practical effect contexts not yet clear. Objective present study investigates on advanced cardiopulmonary life support (ACLS) training implemented among practicum students medicine. Methods randomly assigned into control and experimental conditions 108 fourth year College Medicine at...
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) constitutes a life-threatening medical emergency characterized by high mortality rate. The precise prediction of hematoma expansion (HE) in individuals with ICH is crucial for guiding clinical decision-making. However, we lack standardized automated system that harnesses artificial intelligence the timely and accurate HE cases, particularly when non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) imaging employed settings. Therefore, developed deep...
During the past 20 years, over 1,400 doctors have been certified as emergency physicians in Korea. The number of scientific publications field medicine has also increased. This study aims to evaluate research productivity academic South Korea.Articles published from 1996 2015 by authors affiliated with Korean departments were retrieved using Pubmed, Embase, and Web Science. Research was analyzed quantitatively ascertain articles for publication type year. performance these qualitatively...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the cause acute fatal poisoning and time death by analyzing National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS) South Korea. Methods: NEDIS data from 2014 2018 excluding non-medical visits were used for study. patients with extracted using diagnostic codes. toxic substances classified into pharmaceuticals, pesticides, gases, artificial poisonous substances, natural substances. Patients according death, place region. In each case,...
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a major cause of clinical deterioration worldwide. A large number patients with UGIB cannot be diagnosed through endoscopy, which normally the diagnostic method choice. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate value multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) for suspected UGIB. In retrospective observational 386 patients, we compared contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic MDCT endoscopy analyze performance in identifying status, location origin, and...
The delta neutrophil index (DNI) reflects the fraction of circulating immature granulocytes. We evaluated usefulness DNI values in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to distinguish stage promyelocytic (APL). analyzed retrospectively who were first diagnosed AML upon admission emergency department (ED). Thirty 134 (22.4%) APL on ED admission. univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression models revealed that differed significantly between non-APL days 0, 1 2. Increased...
The thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) score based on the development and morphological characteristics of schistocytes is a rapid, simple biomarker that easily obtained from complete blood cell count by an automated analyzer. We aimed to determine whether TMA associated with 30-day mortality patients early-stage septic shock. This observational cohort study was retrospectively conducted prospective emergency department (ED) registry (June 2015-December 2016). analyzed at ED admission 24 h...
Nicotine-poisoning related to the electronic cigarettes (e-cigarette) is increasing worldwide. Moreover, American Association of Poison Control Centers has advised public use caution with e-cigarette devices and highly concentrated liquid nicotine after a surge in poisonings. We report here first case poisoning from self-injected fluid Korea. A 17-year-old male patient subcutaneously injected himself 0.5 ml solution for an cigarette via dorsum his hand, which he complained nausea, vomiting,...
Objective Emergency department (ED) triage systems are used to classify the severity and urgency of emergency patients, Korean medical institutions use Triage Acuity Scale (KTAS). During COVID-19 pandemic, appropriate treatment for patients was delayed due various circumstances, such as overcrowding EDs, lack workforce resources, increased workload on staff. The purpose this study evaluate accuracy KTAS in predicting during pandemic. Methods This retrospectively reviewed who were treated ED...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review investigate the socio-economic benefits poison control center (PCC) and assess whether telephone counseling at affects frequency emergency room visits, hospitalization, length stay patients with acute poisoning. Methods: authors conducted medical literature search PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases. Two reviewers evaluated abstracts for eligibility, extracted data, assessed quality using standardized tool. Key...
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and adverse effect fomepizole in management acute ethylene glycol or methanol poisoning children. Methods: Databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, KoreaMed were searched using terms related fomepizole, glycol, pediatric. All studies, regardless design, reporting safety endpoints children included. Reference citations from identified publications reviewed. Only reports written English Korean languages reference...
