Abstract Objective To assess potential feasibility of a targeted music intervention trial in older ED patients and association with clinical outcomes. Methods Prospective pragmatic adults aged ≥65 years the ED, prevalent delirium or increased risk incident delirium, receiving either 2‐h via headphones usual care. The primary outcomes were (i) as assessed by actual use (target 70% offered patients) (ii) delirium‐free patients. Results Among 211 initially screened patients, 44 included....
<b>Objective:</b> This study aimed to determine the extent of agreement between central venous and arterial values for pH, bicarbonate, base excess, lactate in a group intensive care unit (ICU) patients. <b>Methods:</b> A prospective convenience sample patients deemed by their treating doctor require blood gas analysis as part clinical ICU. It compared excess on samples taken within five minutes each other. Data were analysed using bias (Bland–Altman) methods. <b>Results:</b> total 168...
ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2011; 18:890–897 © 2011 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Disease-based registries can form basis of comparative research to improve and inform policy optimizing outcomes, example, in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Such are often lacking resource-limited countries settings. Anecdotally, survival rates OHCA Asia low compared those North America or Europe, a regional registry is needed. The Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) network...
Background Information communicated by ambulance paramedics to Emergency Department (ED) staff during handover of patients has been found be inconsistent and incomplete, yet major implications for patients' subsequent hospital treatment trajectory care. Aim The study's aims were to: (1) identify the existing structure paramedic-to-emergency handovers video recording analysing them; (2) involve practitioners in reflecting on practice using footage; (3) combine those reflections with formal...
Objective. To compare the effectiveness of intravenous (IV) morphine, intranasal (IN) fentanyl, and inhaled methoxyflurane when administered by paramedics to patients with moderate severe pain. Methods. We conducted a retrospective comparative study adult pain treated from Ambulance Service New South Wales who received IV IN or either alone in combination between January 1, 2004, November 30, 2006. used multivariate logistic regression analyze data extracted clinical database containing...
Objectives. To compare the effectiveness of intravenous morphine, intranasal (IN) fentanyl, and inhaled methoxyflurane for managing moderate to severe pain in pediatric patients out-of-hospital setting. Methods. We conducted a retrospective comparative study 3,312 aged between 5 15 years who had (pain score ≥5) received IN or methoxyflurane, either alone combination, January 1, 2004, November 30, 2006. Multivariate logistic regression was used analyze data extracted from clinical database...
Delirium is a common complication following hip fracture surgery. We introduced peri-operative care bundle that standardised management in the emergency department, operating theatre and ward. This incorporated: use of fascia iliaca blocks; rationalisation analgesia; avoidance drugs known to trigger delirium; regular education program for staff; continuous auditing compliance. The study was conducted between June 2017 December 2018. recruited 150 patients before (control group) after (care...
Short-term mortality in alcohol-related hepatitis (AH) is high, and no current therapy results durable benefit. A role for interleukin (IL)-1β has been demonstrated the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced steatohepatitis. This study explored safety efficacy canakinumab (CAN), a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-1β, treatment patients with AH.
Abstract Introduction: With at least 20% of ambulance patients reporting pain moderate to severe intensity, management has become a primary function modern services. The objective this study was describe the use intravenous morphine, inhaled methoxyflurane, and intranasal fentanyl when administered in out-of-hospital setting by paramedics within large Australian service. Methods: A retrospective analysis conducted using data from patient health care records (PHCR) for all cases 01 July 2007...
Viscoelastic thromboelastography tests such as TEG™ are now routine for assessing the coagulation status of cardiac surgery patients. We compared with a new technology, sonic estimation elasticity via resonance (SEER) sonorheometry, to compare measures dynamics whole blood and assess its potential rapid, near-point-of-care monitoring hemostasis during surgery.Whole assessment prospective cohort 50 patients was performed using SEER sonorheometry samples collected at 4 time points surgery:...
Sepsis has been defined as the systemic response to infection in critically ill patients, with severe sepsis and septic shock representing increasingly stages of same disease. Based on non-invasive cardiovascular spectrum analysis, this paper presents a pilot study potential use nonlinear support vector machine (SVM) classification continuum into inflammatory syndrome (SIRS) groups. 28 consecutive eligible patients attending emergency department presumptive diagnoses have participated study....
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the help-seeking behaviours among children and young people (CYP) from culturally linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds for mental health (MH) needs in a multicultural Australian population. Methods: We analysed electronic medical records (eMR) of 8135 MH-related emergency department (ED) encounters CYP aged up 18 years across six public hospitals South Western Sydney Local Health District, Australia, January 2016 April 2022. Urgency MH care was...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine the factors associated with extended length of stay (LOS) for paediatric mental health (MH)‐related presentations EDs in South Western Sydney (SWS). Methods We analysed electronic medical records (eMRs) 7444 MH‐related ED encounters children and young people (CYP) aged up 18 years from all six public hospitals SWS January 2016 April 2022. Extended LOS was defined as more than 4 h. assessed using a multi‐level logistic regression model,...
