The delivery of emergency care is an effective strategy to reduce the global burden disease. Emergency cross cuts traditional disease-focused disciplines manage a wide range acute illnesses and injuries that contribute substantially death disability, particularly in low- middle-income countries. While universal health coverage (UHC) movement gaining support, human rights systems are integral UCH, few concrete discussions on right have been taken place date. Furthermore, no rights-based...
Introduction: Free open-access medical education (FOAM) is a collection of interactive online resources—free and accessible to students, physicians other learners. This novel approach has the potential reach learners across globe; however, extent its global uptake unknown. Methods: descriptive report evaluates 2016 web analytics data from convenience sample FOAM blogs websites with focus on emergency medicine (EM) critical care. The number times site was accessed, or “sessions”, categorized...
Global emergency medicine (GEM) is situated at the intersection of global health and (EM), which built upon a history colonial systems institutions that continue to reinforce inequities between high-income countries (HICs) low- middle-income (LMICs) today. These power imbalances yield disparities in GEM practice, research, education. The Emergency Medicine Academy (GEMA) Society for Academic formed Decolonizing Working Group 2020, now includes over 100 worldwide members. mission address...
Abstract Background The South African Triage Scale (SATS) is a validated in-hospital triage tool that has been innovatively adopted for use in the prehospital setting by Western Cape Government (WCG) Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Africa. performance of SATS EMS providers not formally assessed. study sought to assess validity and reliability when used WCG single-patient triage. Methods This prospective, assessment-based validation among from March September 2017 Town, Participants...
Triage is a critical component of prehospital emergency care. Effective triage patients allows them to receive appropriate care and judiciously use personnel hospital resources. In many low-resource settings serves an additional role determining the level destination facility. South Africa, Western Cape Government innovatively implemented African Scale (SATS) in public Emergency Medical Services (EMS) service 2012. The provider perspectives experiences using SATS field have not been...
Emergency care is vital in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) but many frontline healthcare workers low-resource settings have no formal training emergency care. To address this gap, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed Basic Care (BEC): Approach to acutely ill injured, a multi-day, open-source course for settings. Building on BEC foundation, study uses an implementation science (IS) lens develop, implement, evaluate comprehensive curriculum single facility Liberia.A six-month...
Introduction: Little is known about the frequency and locations in which emergency physicians (EPs) are bystanders to an accident or emergency; equally uncertain contents of “emergency kit” may be useful during such events. The aim this study was describe Good Samaritan acts by EPs also determine kit supplies medications were most commonly used Samaritans.Methods: We conducted electronic survey among a convenience sample Colorado.Results: Respondents reported median 2.0 per five years...
Objective Data on antimicrobial use in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) remain limited. In Liberia, the absence of local data impedes surveillance may lead to suboptimal treatment, injudicious resistance against antimicrobials. This study aims examine prescribing patterns for patients emergency department (ED) a large Liberian public hospital. Secondarily, this was compared with WHO indicators. Design Retrospective observational study. Setting An adult ED hospital Monrovia,...
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Implementation science evaluations are often too time-intensive to provide actionable feedback during implementation, suggesting the need for more agile methods. We present an evaluation of World Health Organization’s Emergency Care Toolkit implementation in Zambia using rapid qualitative methods timely feedback. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: evaluated eight general and referral hospitals 2023 a rapid-cycle, template analysis approach grounded Consolidated Framework Research...
Abstract Background and Aims Improving the quality of pre‐hospital traumatic shock care, especially in low‐ middle‐income countries, is particularly relevant to reducing large global burden disease from injury. What clinical interventions represent high‐quality care an actively evolving field often dependent on specific injury pattern. A key component improving having a consistent way assess measure setting. The objective this study was develop validate chart abstraction instrument trauma...
