Abstract Background Time to treatment is a significant predictor of mortality in emergency department (ED) patients with bacterial sepsis. Strategies for the early detection infection and sepsis are lacking. Clinical gestalt tool assessing synthesizing entire clinical picture, focusing on first impression at presentation. Objective This study aimed assess ED physicians’ prediction presenting signs symptoms infection. Design Prospective, observational 30-day follow-up. Participants Patients...
Our objective was to compare informal physicians’ disease severity ratings (PDSR) at presentation with the well-established Emergency Severity Index (ESI) in order test for non-inferiority of discriminatory ability regarding hospitalization, intensive care, and mortality. We made a prospective observational study consecutive enrollment. At presentation, PDSR subsequently levels were recorded. The primary outcome (PDSR versus ESI) secondary outcomes reliability, predictive validity, safety...
Study Objective To derive and validate a prognostic score to predict 1-year mortality using vital signs, mobility other variables that are readily available at the bedside no additional cost. Methods Post hoc analysis of two independent prospective observational studies in emergency departments, one Denmark Switzerland. Participants Alert calm department patients. Measurements The prediction from presentation 365 days by Results One thousand six hundred eighteen alert patients were Danish...
Background Generalized weakness and fatigue are underexplored symptoms in emergency medicine. Triage tools often underestimate patients presenting to the department (ED) with these nonspecific (Nemec et al., 2010). At same time, physicians’ disease severity rating (DSR) on a scale from 0 (not sick at all) 10 (extremely sick) predicts key outcomes ED (Beglinger 2015; Rohacek 2015). Our goals were (1) characterize and/or (W|F); explore (2) what extent DSR triage can predict five W|F; (3) how...
OBJECTIVES Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures. Ultrasound is gaining importance in treatment of and as a tool to diagnose distal fractures, guide regional anaesthesia support reductions. Our aim was demonstrate safety, feasibility outcome patients with undergoing ultrasound-guided (UGRA) reduction (UGR), compared procedural sedation for reduction. METHODS This retrospective cohort study carried out emergency department University Hospital Basel (Switzerland) between...
Medical history taking is an important step within the diagnostic process. This study aims to assess quality and usability (effectiveness, satisfaction, efficiency) of a web-based medical app in emergency department. During three weeks, patients junior physicians filled out questionnaires about app. Senior rated histories taken by In 241 patients, studied showed excellent with not need immediate attention. as more complete when was used comparison conventional alone (p<0.01). Current...
Formal triage may assign a low acuity to patients at high risk of deterioration and mortality. A patient's mobility can be easily assessed triage.To investigate if simple assessment improve the Emergency Severity Index's (ESI) prediction adverse outcomes.Prospective observational study all attending emergency department (ED) single academic hospital in Switzerland over period 3 weeks.Triage clinicians classified participants as having normal or impaired triage. Impaired was defined lack...

Distale Radiusfrakturen machen 25% aller Knochenbrüche bei Erwachsenen aus und sind damit die häufigste Frakturart. Ältere Patienten öfter betroffen, werden indes zu 85% konservativ behandelt. Repositions-Manöver auf Notfallstationen (NFS) meist unter intravenöser- oder Bruchspalt-Analgesie durchgeführt. Supraclaviculäre Regionalanästhesie (SCRA) ist eine weitere Methode zur Schmerzbefreiung Radiusfrakturen. Unser Ziel war, SCRA als Standardprozedur diesen Frakturen einzuführen.
Ein 28-jähriger Patient stellte sich in der Klinik mit seit zwei Tagen bestehendem Fieber bis 40 °C, Schüttelfrost, Müdigkeit sowie Kopf- und Gliederschmerzen vor. Die Beschwerden traten plötzlich auf. Der war ansonsten gesund.
