Emergency departments (EDs) may be high-yield venues to address opioid deaths with education on both overdose prevention and appropriate actions in a witnessed overdose. In addition, the ED has potential equip patients nasal naloxone kits as part of this effort. We evaluated feasibility an ED-based program described risk knowledge, use, overdoses, responses among participants who received rescue (OEN) only (OE).Program were surveyed by telephone after their visit about substance history...
Develop and internally validate a survey tool to assess emergency department (ED) physician attitudes, clinical practice, willingness perform opiate harm reduction (OHR) interventions identify barriers facilitators in translating action. This study was an anonymous, Web-based based on the Theory of Planned Behavior ED physicians at three tertiary referral centers. Construction internal validation scaled questions assessed through principal component Cronbach's alpha analyses. Stepwise linear...
Abstract Background Focused cardiac ultrasound ( FOCUS ) is insensitive for pulmonary embolism PE ). Theoretically, when a clot large enough to cause vital sign abnormalities, it more likely show signs of right ventricular dysfunction on , although this has not been well quantified. A rapid bedside test that could quickly and reliably exclude in patients with abnormal be high utility emergency department ED patients. We hypothesized tachycardia or hypotension, the sensitivity would increase...
Abstract Aims Increased body mass index (BMI) is common in heart failure (HF) patients and associated with lower levels of N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP). We evaluated the influence BMI on lung ultrasonography (LUS) findings indicative pulmonary congestion (i.e. B‐lines) chronic acute HF (AHF). Methods results analysed ambulatory ( n = 118) hospitalized AHF 177) (mean age 70 years, 64% men, mean 29 kg/m 2 , ejection fraction 42%) undergoing echocardiography LUS eight...
Abstract Background There is limited research on loop drainage (LD) compared to incision and (I&D) for treatment of cutaneous abscesses. We investigated whether LD was noninferior I&D abscess resolution there any difference in repeat ED visits or complication rates between these techniques. Methods performed a prospective randomized controlled trial, using convenience sample at an urban academic emergency department (ED). Subjects over 18 years who presented first‐time management...
Introduction: The iliopsoas muscle is a rare place for an abscess to collect. While these abscesses can have high mortality, they are often misdiagnosed. use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) aid in earlier diagnosis. Case Report: A 45-year-old male presented the emergency department (ED) with severe lower back pain. pain radiated both his legs and was associated fever, weight loss, malaise. differential diagnosis this patient broad. POCUS performed at bedside revealed bilateral abscesses....
Self-supervised learning (SSL) methods have shown promise for medical imaging applications by meaningful visual representations, even when the amount of labeled data is limited. Here, we extend state-of-the-art contrastive SSL to 2D+time ultrasound video introducing a modified encoder and augmentation method capable spatio-temporal without requiring constraints on input data. We evaluate our challenging clinical task identifying lung consolidations (an important pathological feature) in...
Background Prior studies have shown that both heart failure ( HF ) and atrial fibrillation AF are factors impact left function structure. However, right RA measured as emptying fraction RAEF on echocardiography has not been analyzed systematically in a chronic population. The aim of this study was to assess volume index RAVI patients with hypertension HTN relate these findings other cardiopulmonary ultrasound parameters 12‐month outcomes. Methods Results In prospective observational study,...
A 26-year-old female presented to the emergency department with three days of subjective fevers, dry cough and pleuritic chest discomfort. On exam, her vital signs were significant for a heart rate 106/minute oxygen saturation 95% on room air. Her lung exam revealed decreased breath sounds at right base. bedside ultrasound radiograph performed (Figure 1a, Figure 2, Video). Figure 1a Ultrasound pneumonia: Linear, bright (hyper-echoic) foci represent air bronchograms (arrows) above...
Impact: This assessment scale could be applied to a wide range of educational materials, including slideshows, clinical vignettes, and curriculum in general.It can increase faculty competency provide roadmap for modifying
