Opioid overdose is a leading cause of injury-related mortality in the United States.1,2 However, little known nationally regarding characteristics opioid presentations to emergency departments (EDs).
Studying interhospital transfer of critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia in the spring 2020 surge may help inform future pandemic management.To compare outcomes for mechanically ventilated transferred to a tertiary referral center increased capacity admitted from emergency department.Observational cohort study single urban academic medical ICUs. All and discharged who received invasive ventilation between March 17, 2020, October 14, 2020.Demographic clinical...

Clinical uncertainty is associated with increased resource utilization, worsened health-related quality of life for patients, and provider burnout, particularly during critical illness. Existing data are limited, because determining from notes typically requires manual, qualitative review. We sought to develop a consensus list descriptors clinical then, using thematic analysis approach, describe how respondents consider their use in intensive care unit (ICU) notes, such that future work can...
The economic and health care utilization burden that overdose exacts on US EDs the system in general was substantial our national sample.These findings suggest costs associated with opioid are significant strategies to reduce morbidity mortality resulting from urgently needed, including enhanced access substance abuse treatment.This study found 135 971 visits for 2010 alone.This number represents only a portion of all overdoses because many individuals never present an ED or die without...

RATIONALE: Many hospitals were unable to accommodate the rapid surge of critically ill patients with COVID-19 requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission in spring 2020. As a result, some transferred tertiary referral centers increased capacity and an ability provide higher level for respiratory failure mechanical ventilation. In general, interhospital transfers have disease severity, longer length stay, mortality. Our study investigated whether who center had severity illness poorer...
