Many hospitalists incorporate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into their daily practice to answer specific diagnostic questions or guide performance of invasive bedside procedures. However, standards for in POCUS training and assessment are not yet established. Most internal medicine residency programs, the major pipeline incoming hospitalists, have only recently begun curricula. The purpose this document is inform a broad audience on what how using it. This intended provide guidance who...
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous across healthcare specialties. This due to several factors including its portability, immediacy of results guide clinical decision-making, and lack radiation exposure patients. The recent growth handheld devices has improved access for many clinicians. Few studies have directly compared different among themselves or cart-based machines. We conducted a prospective observational study comparing four common ease use, image quality,...
Abstract Clinical question What is the role of remdesivir in treatment severe covid-19? This guideline was triggered by ACTT-1 trial published New England Journal Medicine on 22 May 2020. Current practice Remdesivir has received worldwide attention as a potentially effective for covid-19. After rapid market approval US, already being used clinical practice. Recommendations The panel makes weak recommendation use covid-19 while recommending continuation active enrolment patients into ongoing...
Abstract Background Lack of training is currently the most common barrier to implementation point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use in clinical practice, and in-person POCUS continuing medical education (CME) courses have been paramount improving this gap. Due travel restrictions physical distancing requirements during COVID-19 pandemic, were cancelled. Though tele-ultrasound technology has existed for several years, deliver hands-on a CME course not previously described. Methods We conducted...
This study aimed to determine whether a geriatrics-focused hospitalist trauma comanagement program improves quality of care. A pre-/post-implementation compared older adult patients who were comanaged by with those prior at level 1 center. One-to-one propensity score matching was performed based on age, gender, Injury Severity Score, comorbidity index, and critical illness admission. Outcomes included orders for indicators, as well hospital mortality length stay. Wilcoxon rank-sum test...
Abstract Background: Given the increasing age and medical complexity of trauma patients, comanagement has been adopted as a strategy for high-risk patients. This study aimed to determine whether geriatrics-focused hospitalist program improves outcomes. Methods: A pre- post-implementation compared older adult patients who were comanaged by with those prior at Level 1 center. Criteria included: 65+, multiple comorbidities, use medications. Comanagement focused on geriatric management...
