Active clinical trials for "Emergencies"

All patients undergoing emergent endotracheal intubation (RSI) at the Emergency Department will be screened for inclusion in this clinical study. The indication of endotracheal intubation is an exclusively clinical decision and is not affected by this study protocol in any aspect. If fulfilling the In- and exclusion criteria's, patient will be randomly assigned to one of two groups C-MAC Videolaryngoscope in appropriate size conventional endotracheal intubation using Macintosh Blade in appropriate size Randomization (1:1) will be based on computer-generated codes maintained in sequentially numbered opaque envelopes that will be opened immediately before randomization.

The study evaluates if the Emergency Room Evaluation and Recommendation Tool (ER2) reduces the hospital admission rate and the length of stay in Emergency.

SOLAR is a randomised control trial exploring the role of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in older adults who screen positive for frailty based on the Identification of Seniors at Risk (ISAR) tool the the Emergency Department and Acute Medical Assessment Unit of a University Teaching Hospital.

ED PLUS Emergency Department Discharge Physiotherapy Led Community Service is a pilot feasibility randomized controlled trial investigating the role of an integrated care intervention consisting of comprehensive geriatrics assessment in older adults in the emergency department and a physiotherapy-led community based intervention.

ED-VeRT will enroll up to 125 adult emergency department (ED) patients presenting with a chief complaint of dizziness or vertigo to collect longitudinal outcomes over 3 months of follow-up. This will include 50 patients who were evaluated by an ED physical therapist (ie, vestibular rehabilitation) during their ED visit and 50 patients who received usual care. The aims of this trial are to: (1) obtain initial estimates of participant recruitment and retention, intra-cluster correlation, and between-group outcome differences that will inform sample size calculation for a future randomized clinical trial, and (2) assess feasibility and fidelity of a clinical classification protocol for undifferentiated dizziness among patients receiving ED vestibular rehabilitation.

All adult patients with spontaneous cardiac activity and requiring tracheal intubation in the pre hospital emergency context will be included in order to compare the use of succinylcholine vs Rocuronium for prehospital emergency intubation.

The aim of the study is to investigate the quality of prehospital emergency care in acute respiratory emergencies, when paramedics are supported telemedically by an EMS physician.

The investigators studied laboratory measurements and previously identified risk factors to identify factors predictors of early deterioration following stroke. A prospective observational study of 196 patients with first-time acute ischemic stroke was performed. Following multivariate analysis, only a Bun/Cr >15 was independent predictor of SIE. These patients were 3.41-fold more likely to have SIE (P=0.008). The elevated Bun/Cr ratio indicates relative dehydration of the patients. An immediate intervention for such patients should be the maintenance of proper hydration.

The investigators will quantify the quality of chest compressions provided in the Emergency Department and determine whether the quality of chest compressions is related to patient outcome. The quality of chest compressions and patient outcomes will be assessed both before and after the introduction of audiovisual feedback in real time.

An analgesia protocol for acute renal colic will lead to faster significant reductions in pain than prior practice.
