Analgesia in ÖAMTC Helicopter Emergency Service in Austria

Field Physician CareAnalgesics8 more

A sufficient analgesia in injured or sick people is the main goal of physicians treating a patient. In emergency medicine potent analgesia like ketamine or opioids are routinely used. It is unknown if there are any severe side effects or if the use is safe while in use in a Helicopter Emergency Service equipped with emergency physicians.

Klinik - Intelligent Patient Flow Management

Emergency Medical Services

Digital health technologies (DHT) are increasingly developed to support healthcare systems around the world. However, they are frequently lacking evidence-based medicine and medical validation. There is considerable need in the western countries to allocate healthcare resources accurately and give the population detailed and reliable health information enabling to take greater responsibility for their health. Intelligent patient flow management system (IPFM, product name Klinik Frontline) is developed to meet these needs. In practice, IPFM is used for decision support in the triaging and diagnostic processes as well as automatizing the management of inflow of the patients. The core of the IPFM is a clinical artificial intelligence (AI), which utilizes a comprehensive medical database of clinical correlations generated by medical doctors. The study population of this research consists of patients from the Emergency Department of Kuopio University Hospital (KUH). Data will be gathered during 2 weeks of piloting, after which the results will be analysed. Anticipated number of patients to the study is minimum of 246 patients, with objective to be several hundreds. When attending to the hospital, patients will report their demographics, background information and symptoms using structured IPFM online form. Patients entering the unit in an ambulance or with need of immediate care of healthcare professionals due to severe and acute conditions are referred similar to normal process to ensure the patient safety. Results obtained from IPFM are blinded from the healthcare professional and IPFM does not affect professional's clinical decision making in any way. The data obtained from IPFM online form and clinical data from the emergency department and KUH will be analysed after the data collection. The main aim of the research is to validate the use of IPFM by evaluating the association of IPFM output with 1) urgency and severity of the conditions (using Emergency Severity Index [ESI], an international triaging protocol for emergency units, and an assessment by triage nurse); and 2) actual diagnoses diagnosed by medical doctors. The main hypotheses of the research are that 1) IPFM is safe and sensitive in evaluating the urgency of the conditions of arriving patients at the emergency department and that 2) IPFM has sufficient correlation of differential diagnosis with actual diagnosis made by medical doctor.

Registry for Clinical Presentation and Management of Patients With COVID-19 in the Emergency Room...

Corona Virus InfectionSARS-CoV 2

Patients with COVID-19 usually present in the ED and receive their initial medical check-up here. We will try to gather information of comorbidities and other conditions at the time of presentation of COVID-19 patients to the ED. The course of the disease prior to admission as well as the momentary health status at presentation to the ED are of interest because they influence risk stratification and decision-making of treating physicians. The ratio of patients with mild or moderate to severe symptoms will help to calculate the need for hospital beds including beds on Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Intermediate Care Units (IMC), as well as the need for other hospital resources.

Efficacy of the Sit to Stand Test in the Decision to Hospitalize a Patient Consulting the Emergency...

SARS-CoV Infection

As part of the Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID19) pandemic, the hospital care system is facing a major strain. Patients with SARS-Cov2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ) infection can worsen very quickly, possibly presenting, within hours, severe respiratory failure requiring urgent specialized care. Therefore, it is essential to develop emergency assessment tools to assess relevant criteria to decide which patients must be kept under hospital monitoring and which patients can be treated on outpatient care. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of STST in the decision to hospitalize patients consulting emergency department for a SARS-Cov2 infection. The investigators wish to show that the addition of this test to the usual hospitalization criteria reduces the proportion of patients hospitalized 48 hours after their first visit to the emergency department.

Treatment of Corneal Wounds Emergencies During the COVID-19 Shutdown: Absorbable 10-0 Vicryl Sutures...

Eye Trauma

Vicryl (polyglactin) 10-0 resorbable suture is rarely used, little known to ophthalmologists but may offer therapeutic and practical advantages in eligible cases of corneal trauma, particularly during a COVID-19 pandemic. This has imposed new sanitary restrictions : limited access to the operating room in ophthalmology only for functional emergencies and a drastically reduced capacity for external consultations in favor of teleconsultation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Vicryl 10-0 (polyglactin 910) resorbable monofilament suture in corneal trauma, rather than classic Nylon 10-0: structural and functional results, and adaptation of postoperative follow-up during a sanitary crisis period.
