Acute flank and abdominal pain are common presenting complaints in the emergency department. With increasing access to point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS), physicians have an added tool help identify renal problems as a cause of patient's pain. PoCUS for hydronephrosis has sensitivity 72-83.3% varying specificity, similar radiology-performed ultrasonography. In addition assessment hydronephrosis, can exclude other serious causes such presence aortic aneurysm, or free fluid intraperitoneal...
Introduction Our previously reported randomized-controlled-trial of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) for patients with undifferentiated hypotension in the emergency department (ED) showed no survival benefit PoCUS. Here, we examine data to see if PoCUS led changes care delivered cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic shock. Methods A post-hoc analysis was completed on a database 273 hypotensive ED randomized standard or six centres Canada South Africa. Shock categories recorded one hour after...
Introduction Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) protocols are commonly used to guide resuscitation for patients with undifferentiated hypotension, yet there is a paucity evidence any outcome benefit. We undertook an international multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) assess the impact PoCUS protocol on key clinical outcomes. Here we report markers. Methods Adult presenting six emergency departments (ED) in Canada and South Africa hypotension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) <100mmHg...
Pneumothorax, the accumulation of air between visceral and parietal pleurae, represents a potentially serious cause chest pain in patients presenting to emergency department. While there are known risk factors for spontaneous pneumothorax, rare cases dry needling acupuncture, forms complementary alternative medicine, have been result pneumothorax.
Introduction Patients that present to the emergency department (ED) with undifferentiated hypotension have a high mortality rate. Hypotension can be divided into four categories: obstructive, hypovolemic, distributive, and cardiogenic. While it is possible overlapping or concomitant shock states, being able differentiate between cardiogenic other categories important as entails different treatment regime extra cautions. In this secondary analysis, we investigate if using focused cardiac...
