Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and preventable condition often requiring emergency intensive care interventions during exacerbations. Aimof work In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of fluid therapy administered patients admitted unit from department due COPD on mortality readmission rates. Subjects methods This was retrospective single-center study. study included data 162 hospitalized between 2014 2018 with established...

Background The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect lactate level (LL) and shock index (SI) on outcome in nontraumatic hypotensive patients emergency department, also show significance combined usage these two parameters. Methods This is a prospective, observational study. Elevated normal LL (ELL NLL), elevated SI (ESI NSI), combination parameters (lactate–SI group 1: ELL ESI, lactate–SI 2: or 3: NLL NSI) were evaluated for primary (mortality) secondary measures. Results A total 131...

Introduction Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and diet supplements (DS) are frequently used by bodybuilders. In this specific group, increased muscle mass, the acute effects of exercise, use creatine may affect creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcr), potentially leading to an underestimation GFR. Cystatin C equations offer a more accurate prediction GFR that is independent mass. We aimed assess renal functions bodybuilders who both AAS+DS, as well those only DS,...

Splenic infarcts are rare cases. It may not be noticed in the emergency department because clinical picture is likely to mimic various acute abdominal pains. The splenic infarct often result of systemic thromboembolism associated with cardiovascular disorders. aim this study present an evaluation patients that presented (ED) pain and were diagnosed infarct.

We aimed to define factors predicting mortality in patients having ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) our setting.This is a prospective study on presenting the emergency department with STEMI underwent PCI during 12-month period. Physiological parameters were calculated using vital signs and age of patients. Time-based institutional protocol collected. Univariate analysis was performed significant that affected mortality....

Abstract Bodybuilder‐type workouts may affect heart rate variability (HRV), which has considerable potential to assess the role of autonomic nervous system (ANS). A scientifically designed approach is necessary for bodybuilders achieve better results while protecting their health. In this study, we aimed investigate HRV parameters in compared healthy control subjects and effects creatine supplementation. total 48 male participants (16 controls, 16 supplement (–), (+)) were evaluated our...

In emergency departments, physicians frequently have to perform central venous access. cases where peripheral access is not possible, required for dialysis, fulfillment of urgent fluid need, or pressure measurement. This study was carried out evaluate the emergence complications in process and 15 days following insertion catheter under ultrasound guidance department.For this study, patients who presented department over a period eight months with an need were examined prospectively. Age,...

Acute cholecystitis is a common complication of cholelithiasis. Delayed diagnosis may constitute morbidity and mortality; therefore, early determining the severity acute are crucial.This study aimed to determine validity blood procalcitonin (PCT) levels in assessing cholecystitis.The Emergency Department (ED) patients diagnosed as were included study. Patients allocated into three grades according Tokyo Guidelines 2013. PCT level was measured after clinical radiological ED.Ninety-five with...

Violence against women (VAW) is a major public health problem and violation of women's human rights. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has worsened gender inequality, resulting in heightened incidence VAW. This study aims to assess the characteristics who admit emergency department (ED), both before during pandemic. secondary aim compare frequencies violence cases between periods.By single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional design, periods April 10 - December 31, 2020 were...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the frequency other diagnoses and findings in patients that were diagnosed with or not PE following CTPA ED relationship between diagnosis D-dimer. INSTRUMENT AND METHOD: This involves all presented underwent prediagnosis PE. items considered their reason for presenting pretest clinical risks PE, D-dimer, results.Of 696 cases, most common cause was shortness breath (59.3%). showed 145 (20.83%) suffering from Among remaining 464 (66.66%) had...

In emergency cases, finger stick testing is primarily used to check the blood glucose value of patients since it takes longer obtain venous value. critical patients, under conditions that cause an increase in metabolic state and level stress, there occurs considerable difference levels between capillary measurements. This study aimed investigate comparability values, according perfusion index obtained with Masimo Radical-7(®) device, aged 18 years over.We conducted this prospective...

Objective: Computerized tomography remains the gold standard imaging in renal colic patients. In this study, we develop a scoring system to select patients emergency department for unnecessary computerized order decrease radiation exposure. Methods: of with were retrospectively reviewed. Symptoms, laboratory results recorded. Significant parameters determined by univariate and multivariate analysis. Coefficients found obtain score points receiver operating curve was used find cut-off value....

Lactate and base deficit (BD) values are parameters evaluated as indicators of tissue perfusion have been used markers severity injury mortality.

Aerial sports can cause serious injuries. The rate of injuries is nevertheless reasonably low, contrary to popular belief. This study aimed evaluate the and severity ASI patients presented our Emergency Department (ED).The was held at a university medical center. who were or transferred ED in four year period retrospectively reviewed.73.2% male. mean age 28.6. distribution injury rates by activity as follows: 1.46% parachuting, 0.35% paragliding, 0.04% hang-gliding. 75.6% trainees. In 82.9%...

Abstract Introduction: Shock is the leading cause of death in multi-trauma patients and must be detected at an early stage to improve prognosis. Many parameters are used predict clinical condition outcome trauma. Computed tomography (CT) signs hypovolemic shock trauma not clear yet, requiring further research. The flatness index inferior vena cava (IVC) a helpful method for this purpose. Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study which included adult (>18 years) who were admitted...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-related injuries are complications of chest compressions during CPR. This study aimed to investigate the differences and between mechanical manual CPR techniques by using computed tomography (CT).

Objective: Vertigo is a common complaint in the emergency room. can be central or peripheral origin and it important for an physician to make correct differential diagnosis. The purpose of our study was emphasize role cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) audiological tests diagnosis patients who present with vertigo Material Methods: Fifty (31 female, 19 male, mean age 50.84 years) were admitted Hacettepe University Faculty Medicine Emergency Room (ER) between 01.10.2004 31.01.2005...

Emergency departments of hospitals frequently admit patients that are intoxicated by drugs or attempted to suicide. Intoxication due substance use may differ according geographical regions and culture. orpiment, used for hair removal, has been common in the Eastern Asian countries, particularly Iran India. The also suicidal purposes because it is inexpensive easily available high toxicity. Herein we report a case who presented with oral consumption including arsenic, purpose.

: We aimed to study the factors affecting mortality of trauma patients who underwent whole-body computerized tomography (CT) on Emergency department (ED) time frames in a developing emergency care system. Materials and Methods: This is retrospective analysis adult received WBCT from August November for two consecutive years (2014 2015). Non-parametric statistical methods were used compare died survived. The Backward logistic regression model was define significantly mortality.: During 2014,...
