Hydroxychloroquine (HC) ± azithromycin (AZ) is widely used for Covid-19. The Qatar Prospective RCT of Expediting Coronavirus Tapering (Q-PROTECT) aimed to assess virologic cure rates HC±AZ in cases low-acuity Covid-19.Q-PROTECT employed a prospective, placebo-controlled design with blinded randomization three parallel arms: placebo, oral HC (600 mg daily one week), or plus AZ (500 day one, 250 on days two through five). At enrollment, non-hospitalized participants had mild no symptoms and...
The aim of our cross-sectional study was to evaluate the reliability videos uploaded on YouTube demonstrating Heimlich maneuver. We searched for terms “Heimlich maneuver”, “abdominal thrust”, thrust “foreign body airway obstruction”, or “subdiaphragmatic abdominal thrusts” find from 2020 2023. analyzed source upload, time duration, viewership, and use mannequins performance humans neither. Of 1,008 uploaded, 106 met inclusion criteria. median score included 2.5. There no statistical...
This study aimed to compare the epidemiology, clinical presentations, management, and outcomes of renal colic presentations in two major academic centers from geographically diverse populations: Qatar (a country Afro-Asian stone belt) South-Eastern Australia (not within a belt).We undertook retrospective cohort patients with who presented Hamad General Hospital Emergency Department (HGH-ED), Qatar, The Alfred ED, Melbourne, Australia, during period 1 year August 1, 2012, July 31, 2013. Cases...
Awake prone position (APP) has been reported to improve oxygenation in patients with COVID-19 disease and reduce the requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation requiring support high flow nasal cannula. There is conflicting data lower-level oxygen support.
The current study aimed to ascertain differences in early postmedication pain reduction participants presenting with acute musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) the ED receiving intramuscular (IM) versus per oral (PO) diclofenac.This was a prospective, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial conducted between January and June 2018 at of Hamad General Hospital Doha, Qatar. Adults (18-65 years age) within 24 hours an MSI, who had triage score measured using numerical rating scale least five or...
Background: Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) and ground EMS (GEMS) are both integral parts of out-of-hospital transport systems for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). There firm data linking time savings PPCI transports improved outcome. A previous pilot analysis generated preliminary estimates potential HEMS-associated transports. Methods: This non-interventional multicenter study conducted over...
Background: There are a few studies that evaluate preparedness and availability of antidotes in the emergency setting none have been conducted Qatar. Published show timely department is common issue. To address this, we study to antidote stocking utilization Qatar hospital pharmacies departments. Methods: In order appropriate use administration antidotes, research assistants prospectively collected data on ED patients. All patients who received any key over 6-month period were identified...
Aims: There are very few studies comparing epidemiology and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in different ethnic groups. Previous ethnicity have mostly determined OHCA differences between African American Caucasian populations. The aim this study was to compare epidemiology, clinical presentation, the local Middle Eastern Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Arab migrant North populations living Qatar.Methods: This a retrospective cohort GCC Arabs patients with presumed origin...
Wars are escalating globally with devastating impacts on all aspects of life. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia began February 24, 2022. Approximately 80,000 students 155 nationalities were studying in when the war started, disrupting their education forcing many to leave country. We aimed determine physical, emotional, moral effects Ukrainian foreign medical students, as well secondary due ongoing conflict.
Objectives: Standard emergency department (ED) operation goals include minimization of the time interval between patients' initial ED presentation and physician (EP) evaluation. Following up on previous work defining factors influencing “time to physician” ( tMD ) in a busy ED, current study was undertaken evaluate whether adversely impacted by ED's partial replacement specialist-grade EPs with medicine (EM) trainees (at resident fellow level). Methods: This retrospective conducted for four...
Objective: The aim of the study was to assess unexpected return visits (URV) rate attributed emergency physicians (EP) diagnostic or therapeutic errors.Methods: Retrospective review conducted based on electronic medical records (EMR) database an department with annual attendance 460,000 patient visits. EMR tracked any revisit within 48 h discharge from ED. Two teams three EP reviewed for each identified URV independently. cases were categorized as Category-1: clearly unrelated quality care;...
The presence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its associated disease, COVID-19 has had an enormous impact on the operations emergency department (ED), particularly triage area. aim study was to derive validate a prediction rule that would be applicable Qatar's adult ED population predict COVID-19-positive patients.This is retrospective including patients. data were obtained from electronic medical records (EMR) Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) for three EDs....
Objectives: One of the endpoints for assessing emergency department (ED) performance is left-without-being-seen (LWBS) proportion. This study aimed to evaluate impact increasing proportions on-duty medicine (EM) trainees on LWBS rates in clinical shifts. Methods: The was conducted at an urban-academic-ED (annual census: 452,757) over a period one year. We employed multivariate linear regression ( p < 0.05) defining significance identify and adjust multiple influencers related patient...
Introduction: Inter-arm blood-pressure difference (IBPD) has been studied previously in multiple settings, but few reports are available from the Emergency department (ED) setting, where BP varies significantly due to acute medical conditions or stress various factors. CALIBRATE aims study inter-arm blood pressure differences patients presenting ED Qatar and assess IBPD distribution this population. Methods: In sitting position, two consecutive measurements were obtained right left arm for...
BackgroundFew studies evaluating preparedness and availability of antidotes in the emergency setting exist none have been conducted Qatar. To address this; we a study to evaluate antidote stocking utilization Qatar hospital pharmacies departments. MethodsOur aim was: 1) appropriate use timely administration antidotes, and; 2) 31 most important our main public hospitals. For evaluation first aim; research assistants prospectively collected data on ED patients who received any key over 6-month...
Background: Clinical trials comparing efficacy of NSAIDs administration through different routes have provided indefinite conclusions due to sev-eral limitations. The current study aimed ascertain early post-medication pain reduction in participants presenting with acute musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) the emergency department (ED) receiving intramuscular (IM) versus per oral (PO) diclofenac.
Background: Increased interarm systolic blood pressure difference (IASBPD) is one of the major predictors cardiovascular disease. An IASBPD >10 mmHg clinical significance. However, studies have reported a high number patients visiting emergency department (ED) with and varying correlation to age, ethnic background, comorbidities such as hypertension diabetes. Objective: The CALIBRATE study aimed measure IABPDs in multiethnic patient population presenting ED Qatar assess distribution this...
Despite protective measures such as personal equipment (PPE) and a COVID airway management program (CAMP), some emergency physicians will inevitably test positive for COVID. We aim to develop model predicting weekly numbers of physician converters aid operations planning. The data were obtained from the electronic medical record (EMR) used throughout national healthcare system. Hamad Medical Corporation's internal medicine workforce source information on conversion completing CAMP training....
