Active clinical trials for "Emergencies"

The Coalition on Psychiatric Emergencies (CPE) stressed in 2016 that emergency providers were increasingly recognizing the important role of the Emergency Department (ED) in reducing adverse outcomes associated with untreated with substance abuse liaison department (SUDs). Additional research is required to close identified knowledge gaps and improve care of ED patients with SUD. Of the more than 4.5 million ED visits in 2009 in US for drug-related causes,34-32% involved alcohol use alone or in combination with other drugs. Few studies investigated the clinical characteristics of patients referred to an addiction liaison department in a general hospital. The present study will be retrospective in a sample of 700 patients consecutively admitted for addictive behaviors in the emergency department and in the Medicine or Surgery departments of the Amiens University Hospital Center, France.

Observational retrospective study of patients in need of acute surgical care admitted to Skåne University Hospital between 2009 and 2019.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of assessment and early physiotherapy management on the care pathway of the elderly person who falls, their length of stay in hospital and their fall recurrence rate.

Identify the risk factors for complications as well as study the evolution of wounds sutured in the emergency room towards complications such as superinfections, necrosis, disunity of the stitches linked to inadequate initial care.

The aim of the study is to synthesize qualitative evidence related to preventable hospitalizations/ emergency department visits from the perspectives of patients, their families/caregivers, health care providers, and stakeholders, in the hope to identify generalizable conclusions about why social risk factors matter to preventable hospitalizations/ emergency department visits

The increase in emergency room visits is partly related to the growing increase in unscheduled care, paradoxically associated with a decrease in the outpatient supply in the city. The "avoidable" passing rate is estimated at 43% in the last major DREES survey on hospital emergencies. Emergency services have been facing this challenge for years, but there is an urgent need to rethink its organizational model with the liberal system to meet this growing demand. Reorientation from the reception of emergencies is one of the avenues envisaged to face this challenge. It offers a different course from that of emergencies, provided that there are care structures equipped and adapted to unscheduled care. The Hospital in Saint-Denis is particularly faced with these challenges given a particular social ecosystem. Methodology : This single-center prospective observational study includes all adult patients sorted 4 and 5 by the reception organizing nurse, present during the survey. The reorientation is one of the solutions proposed in the context of reorganizing access to care throughout the territory, appearing as one of the major public health issues in the coming years, it is appropriate to ask the question on a local scale. particularly exposed to the problem of unscheduled care, if patients are eligible for reorientation The non-medical factors identified as limiting the reorientation are: the absence of social cover, the language barrier, the patients referred by the samu or the fire brigade or a doctor, the patients who came by ambulance (because considered in theory as in the impossibility to move or having already been the subject of a "regulation") Each 4 or 5 redirected patient is included and completes a questionnaire allowing the collection of information relating to their care pathways. Primary endpoint : Determine the proportion of patients not eligible for reorientation on non-medical criteria via a questionnaire, and identify the distribution of factors complicating reorientation Secondary endpoints : Identify the needs of patients re-orientated towards city medicine via the analysis of their passage to the emergency room, the reasons for their recourse to the emergency room (reasons, means and modes of arrival) their knowledge of the health system, and their relationship to general medicine

Our primary purpose is to assess MEESSI score in predicting mortality and readmission of patients managed for acute heart failure (AHF) in Emergency Department. European Society of Cardiology recommend risk stratification for patients with AHF.

ECMO has improved the outcome of heart or respiratory failure and carcinogenic shock and are increasingly used. However bleeding complications occurring in up to 50% of patients are poorly understood and worsen the overall results. The aim is to investigate the occurence of bleeding and its frequency according to the type of ECMO either veno-arterial or veno-venous. The investigators also want to assess the relation of bleeding with von Willebrand Factor defects.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing (MI) intervention in enhancing advance care planning (ACP) among older adults who have visited the Emergency Room (ER) in the past six months and their family caregivers. The main question it aims to answer is: The effectiveness of the MI-based ACP intervention implemented within six months of an ER visit on improving older adults' advance directives (AD) completion rate. Compared to participants in the control group who will only receive a self-education booklet, participants in the intervention group will receive a motivational interview educational intervention to see the effectiveness of an MI-based ACP intervention implemented within six months following an emergency room visit regarding the completion of AD for older adults.

Pain in young children has been universally under-recognized due to their inability to describe or localize pain. Improvements in pharmacological interventions are necessary to optimize patient and family experience and allow for successful and efficient procedure completion. This is the first study that will compare three intranasal medications (Intranasal Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine, and Ketamine) to evaluate the length of stay after medication administration along with patient and provider satisfaction. The objective of this study is to demonstrate superior intranasal anxiolysis for pediatric laceration repairs with the shortest emergency department stay and highest patient and provider satisfaction. Based on previous studies and medication pharmacokinetics, we hypothesize that Intranasal Ketamine will have the shortest Emergency Department (ED) stay followed by Midazolam and then Dexmedetomidine with the longest stay; however, Dexmedetomidine will have the highest patient and provider satisfaction followed by Ketamine and then Midazolam.
