Particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Recent studies have proposed also a link venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk. This study was aimed to evaluate the possible influence of pollution-related changes on daily flux patients referring Emergency Department (ED) for VTE, dissecting different effects coarse fine PM. From July 1st, 2007, June 30th, 2009, data about ED accesses VTE concentrations PM in Verona district (Italy) were...
Traumatic wounds are one of the most common problems leading people to Emergency Department (ED), accounting for approximately 5,4 % all visits, and up 24 medical lawsuits. In order provide a standardized method wound management in ED, we have organized workshop, involving several Italian European experts. Later, discussed statements been submitted external validation multidisciplinary expert team, based on so called Delphi method. Eight main established, each them comprising different...
Abstract Background During the first months of COVID-19 pandemic, local health authorities in most Italian regions prescribed a reduction ordinary outpatient and community mental care. The aim this study was to assess impact pandemic on access emergency departments (ED) for psychiatric consultation years 2020 2021 compared 2019. Methods This is retrospective conducted by using routinely collected administrative data two EDs Verona Academic Hospital Trust (Verona, Italy). All ED psychiatry...
The value of red blood cell distribution width (RDW), a simple and inexpensive measure anisocytosis, has been associated with the outcome many human chronic disorders. Therefore, this retrospective study was aimed to investigate whether RDW may be medium-term mortality major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).A total number 979 patients diagnosed ACS were enrolled from June 2014 November 2014, followed-up until 2015.The in 3-month MACE those who died...
Background: Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a condition characterized by cyclic abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea, primarily affecting adolescents adults with history of chronic cannabis use. The diagnosis CHS clinical, symptom resolution upon cessation considered pathognomonic. overlap symptoms other conditions complicates the differential diagnosis, particularly in emergency settings. Case Presentation: We report an unusual case 28‐year‐old man admitted to Emergency Department...
Abstract Background Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular (AV) node blocking, shock, and hyperkalemia syndrome is a potentially life-threatening clinical condition characterized by bradycardia, hyperkalemia. It constitutes vicious circle in which the accumulation of pharmacologically active compounds lead to hemodynamic instability heart failure. Case presentation A 66-year-old Caucasian female patient was admitted emergency department presenting with fatigue bradycardia. Upon...
Abstract Background: The mainstay of patient-oriented laboratory testing in emergency settings entails selecting a number and the type tests according to valid criteria appropriateness. Since pattern urgent requesting is variable across different institutions, we designed joined survey between Academy Emergency Medicine Care (AcEMC) Italian Society Clinical Biochemistry Molecular Biology (SIBioC) for reaching tentative consensus about most informative diagnostic settings. Methods: A survey,...
: Dabigatran is a direct oral anticoagulant drug exhibiting clinical benefits over vitamin K antagonists. A procedure for reversing the effect of anticoagulants may be needed in emergency settings, and traditionally accomplished by using plasma products or hemostatic physical interventions. Idarucizumab, specific antidote dabigatran, has recently become available. This compound can rapidly administered intravenous injection effective anticoagulation few minutes. We describe here case...
Recent studies suggest that heat is associated with an increase in the number of ambulance calls and emergency department visits. We investigated association between daily visits at University Hospital Verona during warm seasons 2011-2012 we assessed magnitude impact terms attributable events, focusing on role age triage codification.We used a Poisson model to analyse mean apparent temperature, accounting for air pollution level seasonality. The analyses were stratified by group performed...
Clinical experience with hydroxocobalamin in acute cyanide poisoning via ingestion remains limited. This case concerns a 35-year-old mentally ill woman who consumed more than 20 apricot kernels. Published literature suggests each kernel would have contained concentrations ranging from 0.122 to 4.09 mg/g (average 2.92 mg/g). On arrival, the appeared asymptomatic raised pulse rate and slight metabolic acidosis. Forty minutes after admission (approximately 70 min postingestion), patient...
Aim The aim of this study was to explore whether red blood cell distribution width (RDW) can help predict the risk short-term mortality in patients with acute decompensation cirrhosis. Patients and methods We carried out a retrospective analysis all consecutively admitted emergency department (ED) University Hospital Verona (Italy) for liver cirrhosis, between 1 June 2013 31 December 2016. RDW value measured at ED admission, along collection clinical features other laboratory data, then...
