Background Diagnosing the underlying cause of acute dyspnea can be challenging. Lung ultrasound may help to identify pulmonary edema as a possible cause. Objective To evaluate ability residents recognize on lung using chest radiographs comparison standard. Methods This is prospective, blinded, observational study convenience sample resident physicians in Departments Emergency Medicine (EM), Internal (IM), and Radiology. Residents were given tutorial interpreting both radiograph ultrasound....
To evaluate psychometric properties and response patterns of the Care-giver Assessment Function Upset (CAFU), a 15-item multidimensional measure dependence in dementia patients caregiver reaction.640 families were administered CAFU (53% White, 43% African American, 4% mixed race ethnicity). We created random split sample conducted exploratory factor analyses on Sample 1 confirmatory 2. Convergent discriminant validity evaluated using Spearman rank correlation coefficients.A two-factor...
Objectives Objective measures of clinical improvement in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are lacking. The aim this study was to determine whether repeated lung sonography could semiquantitatively capture changes pulmonary edema (B‐lines) hypertensive AHF early the course treatment. Methods We conducted a feasibility cohort adults onset dyspnea, severe hypertension field or at triage (systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mm Hg), and presumptive diagnosis AHF. Patients underwent dyspnea...
Management approaches for patients in the emergency department (ED) who present with acute heart failure (AHF) have largely focused on intravenous diuretics. Yet, primary pathophysiologic derangement underlying AHF many is not solely volume overload. Patients hypertensive (H-AHF) represent a clinical phenotype distinct mechanisms that result elevated ventricular filling pressures. To optimize treatment response and minimize adverse events this subgroup, we propose management be tailored to...
Abstract Mechanical circulatory support is increasingly used as a long‐term treatment option for patients with end‐stage heart failure. Patients implanted ventricular assist devices are at high risk range of diverse medical urgencies and emergencies. Given the increasing prevalence mechanical devices, this expert clinical consensus document seeks to help inform emergency medicine prehospital providers regarding approach acute surgical conditions encountered in these complex patients.
The most effective treatment for cardiac arrest is the administration of high-quality chest compressions and early defibrillation; once spontaneous circulation restored, post–cardiac care essential to support full return neurologic function. This review summarizes pathophysiology, stabilization assessment, diagnosis treatment, disposition outcomes resuscitation. Figures show foundations resuscitation, ventricular arrhythmias, coronary perfusion pressure as a function time, an algorithm...
