<h3>Background</h3> Plain film radiography (x-ray) is often the initial study in patients with suspected small bowel obstruction (SBO) to expedite patient care. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare bedside ultrasonography (US) and x-ray for detection of SBO. <h3>Methods</h3> This was a prospective using convenience sample presenting emergency department (ED) abdominal pain, vomiting, or other symptoms suggestive Patients were evaluated US prior CT. performed by physicians (EPs) who completed 10 min...
ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2010; 17:913–917 © 2010 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Abstract Objectives: Acute retinal detachments (RD) can be difficult to diagnose and may require emergent intervention. This study was designed assess performance of emergency department ocular ultrasound (EOUS) diagnosis RD. Methods: a prospective, observational using convenience sample (ED) patients. Physicians performed EOUS RD prior evaluation an ophthalmologist. The criterion standard...
Emergency department bedside ultrasonography (EUS) can expedite treatment for patients. However, it is unknown how much experience required competency in the sonographic diagnosis of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis.The objective was to assess learning curve physicians training right upper quadrant (RUQ) EUS.This a prospective study at an urban, academic emergency from August 1999 July 2006. Patients with suspected biliary tract disease underwent RUQ EUS followed by abdominal ultra...
Since the first medical student ultrasound electives became available more than a decade ago, in undergraduate education has gained increasing popularity. More dozen schools have fully integrated their curricula, with several institutions planning to follow suit. Starting June 2012, working group of emergency faculty at California began meet discuss barriers as well innovative approaches implementing education. It clear that an ongoing collaborative could be formed barriers, exchange ideas,...
Objectives: To assess whether emergency medicine residents (EMRs) could quickly perform accurate compression ultrasonography (CUS) for the detection of proximal lower extremity deep vein thromboses (PLEDVTs) with minimal training. Methods: A prospective, observational study using a convenience sample patients presenting signs and/or symptoms PLEDVT. Vascular laboratory and department radiology studies were considered criterion standard. CUS femoral vessels was performed. Incompressibility or...
The objective was to assess the incidence of various technical errors committed by emergency physicians (EPs) learning perform focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST).This a retrospective review first 75 consecutive FAST exams for each EP from April 2000 June 2005. Exams were assessed noninterpretable views, misinterpretation images, poor gain, suboptimal depth, an incomplete exam, or backward image orientation.A total 2,223 done 85 EPs reviewed. Multiple views misinterpreted...
Background In many countries including the USA, UK and Canada, impact of COVID-19 on people colour has been disproportionately high but examination disparities in patients presenting to ED limited. We assessed racial ethnic differences positivity outcomes EDs effect phase pandemic these outcomes. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study adult tested for during, or 14 days prior to, index visit 2020. Data were obtained from National Registry Suspected Emergency Care network which data 155...
The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the learning curve emergency physician training in bedside sonography (EBS) for first-trimester pregnancy complications.This a prospective at an urban academic department from August 1999 through July 2006. Patients with vaginal bleeding or pain underwent EBS followed by pelvic (PS) Department Radiology. Results were compared those PS using predesigned standardized data sheet.A total 670 patients complications 1 25 physicians who would go...
Given the time, expense, and radiation exposure associated with computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US) is considered an alternative imaging study that could expedite patient care in patients suspected obstructive uropathy. However, there a paucity of literature regarding bedside US for uropathy emergency department (ED), it unknown how much experience required competency such exams.The objective was to assess learning curve detection resident physicians training ED (EUS) during...
Objectives Accurate and reliable criteria to rapidly estimate the probability of infection with novel coronavirus-2 that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) associated disease (COVID-19) remain an urgent unmet need, especially in emergency care. The objective was derive validate a clinical prediction score for SARS-CoV-2 uses simple widely available at point Methods Data came from registry data national REgistry suspected COVID-19 EmeRgency care (RECOVER network) comprising...
To assess whether 10 focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) examinations could be used as a minimum standard training, suggested previously.This was retrospective review of patients with who underwent resident-performed FAST before surgical or Department Radiology evaluation.Six hundred ninety-eight were examined by followed reference evaluations. Four twelve evaluated residents previously performed examinations; 154 29 performing their 11th through 30th and 258 31st subsequent...
The diagnosis of patients with acute dyspnoea is challenging, as clinical history and physical examination are often nondiagnostic inaccurate. Consequently, clinicians rely on the results chest radiography (CXR) to determine initial intervention guide further treatment.The purpose this study was prospectively assess sensitivity specificity ultrasonographic assessment jugular venous distension (US-JVD) for identifying pulmonary oedema CXR in dyspnoeic suspected congestive heart failure.US-JVD...
To assess a point-of-care (POC) urine trypsinogen (UT) test for the diagnosis of pancreatitis in emergency department (ED).This was prospective cohort study convenience sample patients presenting to ED with abdominal pain or symptoms suggestive pancreatitis. A 3-minute POC UT (Actim Pancreatitis; Medix Biochemica, Kauniainen, Finland) compared plasma lipase and amylase measurements, imaging results when performed, final discharge diagnoses. The criterion standard acute pancreatitis.Of 191...
