Active clinical trials for "Emergencies"

COVID-19, which emerged in China in December 2019, has become a pandemic with its spread to many countries of the world. Emergency departments also carried out an important part of the fight against pandemics in our country/Turkey. The emergency department including an intensive care unit is very few in this country/Turkey and the only hospital, which has an Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) in Istanbul, is the study center. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to provide useful information about how an effective EICU should be, especially how to use them during pandemic periods.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, first appeared in China, and then spread around the world. In December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown origin were infected after exposure to the market in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Very quickly, a new coronavirus was isolated from a sample of a patient's lower respiratory tract and the entire virus genome was sequenced. This new coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for its genetic homology with SARS-CoV-2, has shown worldwide expansion. Thus, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the COVID-19 epidemic as a threat to public health at the international level, then, in March 2020, the global situation degenerated into a pandemic. . Johns Hopkins University has reported more than 7,600,000 cases of infections and more than 427,000 deaths as of June 13, 2020. Due to the rapid progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and the limited capacity of molecular laboratory tests, the concept of delocalized molecular tests appears to be relevant. Indeed, the urgent need to increase testing for COVID-19 has been clearly identified as an essential part of the strategy to combat the coronavirus worldwide. In fact, COVID-19 represents a major public health problem currently causing a rapidly increasing number of infections and significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. As of July 1, 2020, more than 10 million people worldwide have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. As of December 20, 2020, this tally is 76,624,363 cases of contamination and 1,690,658 deaths following Johns Hopkins University

A study to investigate how stroke is identified and whether FAST, face-arm-speech test, is used in the emergency medical dispatch centre in Stockholm. The study will also investigate when FAST is used, does it increase the identification of stroke? And if other factors can be identified as "markers" for more effective identification of stroke during the emergency call.

A retrospective study at a tertiary university hospital to determine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the emergency surgery practice in the hospital.

Traumatic brain injury is combination damage that occurs as a result of a chain reaction of various metabolic events that develop after primary damage caused by trauma. Pathological events such as lactic acidosis, electrolyte imbalance, increased inflammation that occur during traumatic brain injury leads to poor prognosis in patients. The retrospective study was conducted to investigate the effect of factors that may cause secondary damage, especially electrolyte imbalance and blood glucose levels, on mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing emergency surgery due to head trauma.

As a first step towards reform of the emergency medical service system by standardizing triage scale to Korean Triage and Acuity Scale(KTAS), we aimed to assess the present status of our emergency department triage systems and illustrated the present status and problems of the Korean emergency department triage system.

Despite its life-saving potential, the mechanical ventilator has great potential to do harm. Despite years of research, the mortality in acute lung injury (ALI) remains very high. Treatment options after ALI onset are very limited, therefore prevention may be the best option. Unfortunately, the emergency department has not been studied with respect to mechanical ventilation practices, and its contribution to ALI is unknown. The investigators hypothesize that mechanical ventilation is frequently used in the ED and for a variety of reasons, and that ED mechanical ventilation has an effect on long term outcomes.

EMERGENCY CANCER PAIN DRAWS CANCER PATIENT TO EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOR TREATMENT. HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN INCONSISTENCY AND INADEQUACY OF PAIN MANAGEMENT IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THIS STUDY OBSERVES THE STATUS OF PAIN ASSESSMENT AND ITS ADEQUACY IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT IN A TERTIARY CARE CANCER HOSPITAL.

An international airway management expert group has recently developed an Utstein-style template for uniform reporting of data from prehospital advanced airway management. Implementing and validating the template will result in a high quality dataset and allow for research cooperation and comparison of airway management practice between EMS systems, and across different patient populations. Such a dataset will hopefully contribute to new knowledge in the field of prehospital advanced airway management.

This research project consists of a prospective diagnostic study conducted on patients with clinical suspicion of rhabdomyolysis admitted to the emergency rooms of the University Hospitals of Nimes, Montpellier, Paris, Nice and Toulon Inter Army Hospital. The main objective of this study is to determine whether the plasma level of Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) may be retained as a predictor of acute renal failure (ARF) occurring within 48 hours after admission for rhabdomyolysis.
