Background Frontline health care workers, including physicians, are at high risk of contracting coronavirus disease (COVID-19) owing to their exposure patients suspected having COVID-19. Objective The aim this study was evaluate the benefits and feasibility a double triage telemedicine protocol in improving infection control emergency department (ED). Methods In retrospective study, we recruited aged ≥20 years referred ED National Taiwan University Hospital between March 1 April 30, 2020. A...
The aim of this study was to validate and compare the performance statistical (Utstein-Based Return Spontaneous Circulation Shockable Rhythm-Witness-Age-pH) machine learning-based (Prehospital Swedish Cardiac Arrest Risk Score) models in predicting outcomes following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest assess impact COVID-19 pandemic on models' performance.
Background/Purpose Do-not-resuscitate (DNR) is a legal order that demonstrates patient's will to avoid further suffering from advanced treatment at the end of life. The concept palliative care increasingly accepted, but impacts different major illnesses, geographic regions, and health expenses on DNR rates remain unclear. Methods This study utilized two-million National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database examine percentage among all deaths in hospitals 2001 2011. was defined as no...
Appropriate triage in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) is often challenging. Little known about role of physician gestalt ED triage. We aimed compare accuracy against currently used computerized process.We conducted a prospective observational study at an academic medical center. Adult aged ≥20 years were included and underwent standard protocol. The system-based using software Taiwan Triage Acuity Scale. entire process was recorded, data collected. Five raters provided...
Abstract Transferring patients between emergency departments (EDs) is a complex but important issue in care regionalization. Social network analysis (SNA) well-suited to characterize the ED transfer pattern. We aimed unravel underlying structure and identify key metrics for monitoring functions. This was retrospective cohort study using National Electronic Referral System (NERS) database Taiwan. All interhospital transfers from 2014 2016 were included characteristics retrieved. Descriptive...
This exercise aimed to validate New Taipei City's strategic plan for a city lockdown in response coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The main goal of all solutions was the principle "reducing citizen activity and strengthening government control."
Introduction: Research suggests that pain assessment involves a complex interaction between patients and clinicians. We sought to assess the agreement scores reported by themselves clinician’s perception of patient’s in emergency department (ED). In addition, we attempted identify patient physician factors lead greater discrepancies assessment. Methods: conducted prospective observational study ED tertiary academic medical center. Using standard protocol, trained research personnel...
Abstract Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) began in December and is spreading rapidly. Rapid accurate identification suspected cases critical suppressing viral spread. We aimed to highlight the discrepancies varying criteria used by international agencies highly impacted individual countries worldwide.Methods: from two ten across Asia, Europe, North America were reviewed. Each included information on clinical causes illness epidemiology risk factors. Non-English...
Abstract Background Accurate pain assessment is essential in the emergency department (ED) triage process. Overestimation of intensity, however, can lead to unnecessary overtriage. The study aimed investigate influence on patient outcomes and how intensity modulates triage’s predictive capabilities these outcomes. Methods A prospective observational cohort was conducted at a tertiary care hospital, enrolling adult patients station. entire process captured video. Two methods were employed:...
Rapid recognition of frailty in older patients the ED is an important first step toward better geriatric care ED. We aimed to develop and validate a novel assessment scale at triage, Emergency Department Frailty Scale (ED-FraS).
Functional exercises are effective for testing disaster management training. Previously, we found that functional promote student engagement and improve the perception of learning after exercise.
Introduction: Pre-hospital terminations of resuscitation (TOR) rules for traumatic cardiopulmonary arrest (TCPA) have been proposed by the National Association Emergency Medical Physicians (NAEMSP) and American College Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACSCOT) a decade. However, validation studies from United Kingdom Australia produced conflicting results. This study aimed to evaluate performance TOR TCPA in an Asian metropolitan area. Methods: We analyzed data Utstein registry system adult...
In a mass casualty incident (MCI) exercise, live-actor patients (LAPs) simulated different scenarios in the exercise. This study compared benefit to LAPs with that exercise players (EPs) and nonparticipants (NPs).An MCI was conducted 2018. Emergency department (ED) nurses were assigned as EPs, LAPs, or NPs asked attend pre-exercise lecture. A survey evaluated all ED nurses' background, confidence level, knowledge of management. Knowledge assessment included disaster medicine (DMK) on...
