Objective: Providing high-quality, safe, and consistent care for patients with cancer in the emergency department (ED) poses unique challenges. To better understand these challenges, we surveyed oncologists medicine (EM) physicians across five institutions to identify key areas improvement oncologic EM. Methods: In this multi-institutional, cross-sectional qualitative study, a semi-structured survey was administered EM attending resident medical surgical 2023. We assessed open-ended...

Rapid advances in cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors have led to significantly improved survival. identification of the toxicity syndromes associated with these therapeutic agents is very important for emergency physicians because population patients diagnosed increasing and therapies including become first-line treatment more types cancer. The medicine literature lags behind rapid oncology, oncology guidelines recognition management emerging are not familiar physicians....
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after cardiac arrest is utilized indiscriminately among unselected populations. Cancer patients have particularly low rates of return spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge CPR. Our study determines ROSC cancer undergoing CPR in our center. We examined whether these changed over the past decade.This IRB-approved retrospective observational was conducted The ED center provide medical care for ≥ 115,000 annually. Cases presenting...
Emergency physicians (EPs) are faced with significant challenges regarding pain management, while preventing abuse of prescription opioids.

Background Emergency medicine (EM) resident training in oncologic emergencies is limited, and significant gaps have been identified. Although 90% of emergency residency program directors recognize the importance emergencies, there no standardized curriculum. Objective We propose a focused EM curriculum that serves as complement to existing didactics curriculums prepare residents manage most common emergencies. It will also allow for familiarization with constantly evolving therapies, such...
Background Chimeric antigen receptor T cell infusion (CAR T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies, but treatment-related toxicities are concern. Understanding timing and reasons for which patients present to emergency department (ED) after CAR can assist with early recognition management toxicities. Methods A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted who had undergone in past 6 months visited ED The University Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center...
Emergency department observation units (EDOUs) have been shown to decrease length of stay and improve cost effectiveness. Yet, compared with noncancer patients, patients cancer are placed in EDOUs less often. In this study, we aimed describe who were a center's EDOU discern their clinical characteristics outcomes.We performed retrospective observational study that included all age 18 years older presented our emergency (ED) the between March 1, 2019, February 29, 2020.
