European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery (ESTES) Cohort Study Snapshot Audit 2020 - Acute...

Appendicitis

Background Acute appendicitis is an extremely common surgical emergency. Traditionally, appendicitis has been managed surgically. Recently, however, variability in management of acute appendicitis has emerged, with some clinicians practising conservative, i.e. non-operative, management in selected patients. This high-quality pan-European, prospective audit will establish current practices and correlate them against outcomes. Aim To explore differences in patient presentation, clinical course and outcomes for acute appendicitis across international clinical Centres to identify areas of practice variability in the presentation, management and complications of acute appendicitis. Endpoints A three-stage data collection strategy will be used in this audit. There will be a 90 day prospective period for data collection during a six month window from September 2020 to end February 2021. Data collection will consist of collecting patient demographics, details of management (conservative vs surgical) and outcomes. Several outcomes measures will be used, including surgical mortality, morbidity (Clavien-Dindo Grade 2 and above) and length of hospital stay. The data collection points are as follows: 90 Day Prospective Audit Collecting anytime during 6-month window: Demographics Operative technique Use of antibiotics Conservative vs surgical management Outcomes All eligible patients will be followed up to 90 days from their admission Readmissions will be flagged and identified Complications within the 90 day period will be recorded Patients who have a complete data set at 90 days post presentation will be followed up to the 1-year mark • Incomplete data sets will be excluded from the study Methods: This 90 day prospective audit will be performed across Europe from September 2020 to end February 2021., and will be co-ordinated by a designated committee of European Society of Trauma and Emergency Surgery. This will be preceded by a one-week, three-Centre pilot. Sites will be asked to pre-register for the audit and will be required to obtain appropriate regional or national approvals in advance of the enrolment date. During the study period, all eligible patients with acute appendicitis will be recorded contemporaneously and followed-up through to 90 days from their admission. The audit will be performed using a standardised pre-determined protocol, instrument and a secure online database. The report of this audit will be prepared in accordance with guidelines set by the STROBE (strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology) statement for observational studies. Discussion: This multi-centre, snapshot audit will be delivered by emergency surgeons and trainees in an coordinated and homogenous manner. The data obtained about areas of variability in provision or practice, and how this may impact upon outcomes, will serve to improve overall patient care as well as being hypothesis generating and inform areas needing future prospective study.

Sepsis Post Market Observational Study and Potential Reduction of Time to Antibiotics - Washington...

SepsisAdult Disease2 more

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that addition of the Monocyte Width Distribution (MDW) parameter to current standard of care improves a clinician's ability to recognize sepsis in the Emergency Department, resulting in earlier decision to administer antibiotics from time of ED presentation for sepsis patients (simulated primary endpoint), with concomitant reductions in length of stay and in-hospital mortality for those patients (secondary endpoints).

The Diagnostic Value of the First Clinical Impression of Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department...

Emergencies

Finding a diagnosis for acutely ill patients places high demands on emergency medical personnel. While anamnesis and clinical examination provide initial indications and allow a tentative diagnosis, both laboratory chemistry and imaging tests are used to confirm (or exclude) the tentative diagnosis. The more precise and targeted the additional laboratory chemical or radiological diagnosis, the more quickly and economically the causal treatment of the emergency patient can be initiated. One examination modality, which in addition to the medical history and clinical examination, could quickly provide information about the condition of the patient, their clinical picture and severity of illness, is the first clinical impression of the patient (so-called "first impression" or "end-of-bed view"). This describes the first sensory impression that the medical staff gathers from a patient. This includes visual (e.g., facial expression, gait, breathing), auditory (e.g., voice pitch, shortness of breath when speaking), and olfactory (e.g., smell of exhaled air, body odor) impressions. Clinical practice shows that a great deal of important additional information can be gathered through this first clinical impression, which, together with the history and clinical examination of the emergency patient, provides valuable clues to the underlying condition. To date, however, only scattered data and study results exist in the medical literature on the value of the first clinical impression in the care of emergency patients. In the present prospective observational study, the study attempts to evaluate the predictive value of the first clinical impression in identifying a leading symptom and other important clinical parameters.

Asthma Attack in the Emergency Department : Reasons Of This Attendance

Asthma AttackEmergency Medicine

Objective: Identify modifiable factors that may affect asthma control and the use of emergency room to define customized interventions for the management of asthma prior to emergency room. Emergency department attendance is always a sign of poor balance or control of asthma. In spite of a decrease in the number of deaths that has been halved in 20 years and hospitalization due to asthmatic disease, the use of emergency center for this disease has not decreased. We now know that the passage through emergencies and hospitalization for aggravation of asthma is in itself a factor of mortality. Acting on the determinants of poor balance or control of asthma is essential to further reduce the mortality and morbidity of asthma.
