Active clinical trials for "Emergencies"

The primary objectives are: To investigate which healthcare workers and other individuals contribute to the decision to order computed tomography (CT) scans for emergency department (ED) patients. To investigate the specific reasons healthcare workers and other individuals order or request CT scans for ED patients. To determine the frequency of clinically important actions following CT scan results. Once the drivers of ED CT utilization are identified, interventions including education, incentives for compliance with evidence-based best practices, and interventions for noncompliance could be targeted appropriately.

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of iPhone based telementoring for the ultrasonography. Methods Study Design: Prospective observational study Study Setting: Urban academic ED of tertiary care teaching hospital Study period: July, 2014 ~ December, 2014 (six months) Study participants: Of the patients who need to undergo ultrasonography in the ED, those who are agreed to participate in this study are enrolled.

Patient reported pain, stress, and anxiety measures have been found to be inter-related, but it is not known if they are all associated with receiving opiate medications. The objective of this study is to determine if patients' degree of reported pain, stress, or anxiety is associated with receiving opiate pain medications in the emergency department or at discharge. Alert patients at least 18 years of age and who report pain greater than 3/10 are eligible to participate in the study. Consenting patients complete Visual Analog Scales describing their perceived pain, stress, and anxiety from enrollment until discharge. Demographic data and administration of pain medication is also recorded. Visual Analog Scale scores among patients who received an opioid pain medicine in the emergency department and at discharge will be compared to those who did not.

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence, etiology, and timing of missed Serious Medical Illness (SMI) in patients referred to adult psychiatry by emergency physicians, as well as to determine admission rates for SMI soon after discharge from an inpatient psychiatry admission.
