Learning Management of Open Fractures on Virtual Patient

Educational ProblemsSimulation of Physical Illness3 more

A novel virtual world programme with over 240 multiple choice questions was developed to assess the competencies in managing an open fracture of the lower limb according to the British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma (BOAST) and Advanced Trauma Life support (ATLS) guidelines. A longitudinal, observational, multi-centre prospective cohort study was conducted at Imperial College London. Primary objective consisted of objective scores calculated in real-time from the 240 multiple choice questions between Novices, Intermediates and Experts. Participants who had either completed ATLS training, or had familiarised themselves with BOAST guidelines were also identified and correlated with objective scores.

Management of Hyperglycemic Patients in Emergency Medicine Department

HyperglycemiaDiabetes Mellitus1 more

The main purpose of this study is how to manage hyperglycemic patients in emergency departments, to determine the conditions that require blood glucose regulation and to examine the prognosis of the patients in the next 30 days, depending on the regulation method.

Comparison of Hands-on Versus Online Learning About Ocular Ultrasound

Emergencies

In patients who visit an emergency room with ocular symptoms, point-of-care ultrasound can quickly identify several emergency diseases. While training of eye ultrasound skills is useful for emergency physicians, hands-on education is risky in pandemic situation such as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID19). As a solution to this, non-face-to-face education via online has been on the rise. The investigators hypothesized that even an online education is enough to perform basic eye ultrasound by emergency physician.

Effects of the COVID-19 Health Emergency on Biopsychosocial Health

ActivitiesMental Health Issue1 more

There is a critical need to determine the impact of the COVID-19 emergency on the comprehensive well-being of people as they are living through the emergency and sequelae of the emergency period. The research team is requesting National Institutes of Health funding with the goal to investigate rural vs. urban living people's response to the crisis and its impact using mixed methods research.

Using a Computer-assisted Prescription to Decrease Inappropriate Use of Plain Abdominal Radiography...

Plain Abdominal Radiography

The aim of this study is to assess whether a computer-assisted prescription allows a reduction of the overall number of inappropriate PAR in emergency departments.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Metronidazole in Neonates

Emergencies

The objective of NEOPOPI is to conduct a population pharmacokinetic study of metronidazole in neonates, in order to evaluate and optimize neonatal dose regimen. There will be no change to the medication treatment received by participants. An opportunistic pharmacokinetic sampling approach will be followed: samples will be scavenged from blood or cerebrospinal fluid drawn for routine biochemical tests. In this way, no additional invasive tests will be needed.

Adrenal Insufficiency in Critical Emergencies in Digestive Diseases

Digestive DiseasesAdrenal Insufficiency3 more

Observational study about the incidence of relative adrenal insufficiency in patients with cirrhosis and acute variceal bleeding; in patients with acute peptic gastrointestinal bleeding and without liver disease; and in patients with severe acute pancreatitis. This is a study using pharmaceutical specialties in the approved conditions of use.

Implementing a Case-management Intervention for Frequent Users of the Emergency Department in French-speaking...

Frequent Users of Emergency Department (FUEDs)

Background. Emergency department (ED) overcrowding represents a significant public health problem in developed countries. Frequent users of the emergency departments (FUEDs; reporting 5 or more ED visits in the past year) are often affected by medical, psychological, social, and substance use problems and account for a disproportionately high number of ED visits. Past research indicates that the case management (CM) intervention is a promising way to reduce ED overcrowding and improve FUEDs' quality of life. There is, however, very limited knowledge about how to disseminate and implement this intervention on a large scale to diverse clinical settings, including community hospitals and non-academic centers. This research project aims to implement a CM intervention tailored to FUEDs in the public hospitals with ED in the French-speaking region of Switzerland and to evaluate both the implementation process and effectiveness of the CM intervention. Methods. This research project will examine both implementation and clinical outcomes. The implementation part of the study will describe quantitatively and qualitatively factors that influence the implementation process; the investigators will also examine implementation effectiveness (i.e., whether the implementation of the CM intervention in the ED was successful or not). The clinical part of the study will evaluate participants' trajectories on clinical variables (e.g., quality of life, ED use) after receiving the CM intervention. Discussion. This research project will contribute to implementation science by providing key insights into the processes for implementing CM into broader practice. This research project is also likely to have both clinical and public health implications.

Increased CRP Concentrations in Patients Admitted to the Emergency Department With Troponin Elevation...

Myocardial Ischemia

The investigators hypothesized that the CRP/troponin ratio measured in patients presenting to the ED with elevated troponin levels could differentiate between patients with cardiac ischemia and those who present due to a systemic inflammatory or infectious disease. The aim of the study was to determine the necessary CRP/troponin ratio required to rule out cardiac ischemia in a large ED population and determine its impact on long-term prognosis.
