This a companion paper to publication JAMA Network Open, which nonfatal outcomes victims have been only partially described.We gathered clinical logistic information from 31 hospitals US about 403 survivors 13 shootings, each event involving greater than 10 injuries, 2012-19. Local champions emergency medicine trauma...
Civilian public mass shootings (CPMSs) in the US result substantial injuries. However, types and consequences of these injuries have not been systematically described.To describe injury characteristics, outcomes, health care burden associated with nonfatal sustained during CPMSs to better understand patients, hospitals, society at large.This retrospective case series from 13 consecutive (defined as ≥10 injured individuals) 31 hospitals July 20, 2012, August 31, 2019, used data trauma logs...
Background and Importance: Emergency department (ED) care is complex, involving multifaceted factors such as patient volume, provider experience, throughput metrics, patient-provider interactions. While some studies have explored relationships between these parameters, there still much to understand about the nuances in ED care. Objective: Our study aimed analyze statistical admission rates, Press Ganey (PG) scores, various throughput/resource utilization variables ED. These include imaging...
Objectives: This study aims to understand how decision fatigue affects emergency department (ED) operations which is of paramount importance improve patient flow through the ED and minimize cognitive errors. It assessed admission rates throughput metrics in relation time into 12-hour shifts. was hypothesized that there would be increased likelihood toward end shift as a result accumulated fatigue. Methods: The retrospective cohort 9,848 visits Blue Diamond (BD) Green Valley Ranch (GVR) - two...
While the common organs assessed in chest pain are heart, lungs, and inferior vena cava, one must also consider other diagnoses.

Perioperative complications...
Objective: The study sought to determine if the arrival of patients experiencing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or cerebrovascular accident emergency department (ED) was delayed due fear COVID-19, among other factors. Both these disease processes are time-dependent, and great efforts have been made intervene in this pathology quickly help improve patient-centered outcomes. Methods: A retrospective, case-control conducted using data from patient records March June 2019...
