Повний текст джерелаTo date, health facilities in Africa have not had an objective measurement tool for evaluating essential emergency service provision. One major obstacle is the lack of consensus on a standardized evaluation framework, applicable across a variety of resource settings. The African Federation for Emergency Medicine has developed an assessment tool, specifically for low- and middle-income countries, via consensus process that assesses provision of key medical interventions. These interventions are referred to as essential emergency signal functions. A signal function represents the culmination of knowledge of interventions, supplies, and infrastructure capable for the management of an emergent condition. These are evaluated for the six specific clinical syndromes, regardless of aetiology, that occur prior to death: respiratory failure, shock, altered mental status, severe pain, trauma, and maternal health. These clinical syndromes are referred to as sentinel conditions. This study used the items deemed "essential", developed by consensus of 130 experts at the African Federation for Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference 2013, to develop a tool, the Emergency Care Assessment Tool (ECAT), incorporating these using signal functions for the specific emergency sentinel conditions. The tool was administered in a variety of settings to allow for the necessary refinement and context modifications before and after administering in each country. Four countries were chosen: Cameroon, Uganda, Egypt, and Botswana, to represent West/Central, East, North, and Southern Africa respectively. To enhance effectiveness, ECAT was used in varying facility levels with different health care providers in each country. This pilot precedes validation studies and future expansive roll out throughout the region.

Повний текст джерелаIdentifiering av lokalt relevanta faror och bedömning av deras risknivåer är en kritisk och komplex del av arbetsområdet beredskap för nödsituationer (eng. emergency preparedness). Myndigheter som bedriver verksamhet inom detta område i provinsen Ontario, Kanada är enligt lag skyldiga att genomföra en ”Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment” (HIRA) process, utvecklad av provinsen. HIRA-metoden är baserad på användandet av risk matriser och står således inför många av denna metods inneboende utmaningar vilket kan resultera i svag riskbedömningsprocess med tvivelaktigt resultat. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera Ontarios HIRA-process för att identifiera potentialla svagheter, styrkor och luckor i processen och således generera insikt i potentiella utmaningar relaterat till denna typ av riskbedömningsprocess inom ”emergency preparedness”. HIRA-processen, så som den implementerats i York Region och inom dess folkhälsomyndighet, kommer att analyseras baserat på sex punkter identifierade inom litteraturen som aspekter med förmåga att påverka kvalitén på riskdömningsresultatet. Sammanfattningsvis ses att HIRA-processen innefattar många av de svagheter som diskuteras i litteraturen rörande riskmatriser som till exempel fel, tvetydig in- och utdata, dålig upplösning och suboptimal resursfördelning vilket potentiellt medför en riskbedömningsprocess av låg kvalité. För att genomföra HIRA-processen så som metoden är designad behöver användaren investera en betydande mängd resurser samt helst tillgå expertis inom riskbedömning relaterat till de olika farorna som skall bedömas, vilket inte alltid finns tillgängligt inom de organisationen som genomför en HIRA. Dessa aspekter sammantaget bidrar till en process som inte nödvändigtvis når fram till ett av sina primära mål; att skapa en kvantitativ rangordning av risker med förmåga att särskilja olika farors risknivå. Till följd finns en risk att resultatet av riskbedömning inte stödjer den operativa planeringen eller processen för beslutsfattande relaterad till resursfördelning.

Повний текст джерелаAvec l'augmentation du débit et du temps d'attente dans les services des urgences, un nombre élevé de patients ayant rempli les formulaires d'accueil quittent avant d'avoir été vus par un médecin. Cette étude avait pour but de déterminer les conditions du service des urgences reflétant l'inscription, le temps de prise en charge ainsi que le débit de patients, et ayant un lien avec le nombre de personnes qui, dans un milieu pédiatrique, quittent avant d'avoir vu un médecin. Une analyse multivariée a été utilisée afin d'examiner l'effet de variables décrivant le moment de l'arrivée du patient et les conditions qui prévalent au service des urgences (y compris l'acuité des patients, le volume de patients et le délai d'attente), sur le nombre de personnes qui quittent sans avoir été examinés. Un total de 138,361 patients se sont présentés à l'urgence au cours de l'étude et 11,055 (7,99%) ont quitté avant d'avoir vu un médecin. Les résultats de l'étude révèlent que les variables liées au temps de prise en charge, soit le délai entre le moment du triage et l'examen du médecin (ratio des taux = 2,11; intervalle de confiance [IC] de 95% : 2,01 - 2,21) et le délai entre l'inscription et le triage (ratio des taux = 1,55; IC de 95% : 1,25 - 1,90) exercent la plus grande influence sur le nombre de patients quittant avant d'avoir été vus par un médecin. Les interventions visant à réduire le nombre de départs prématurés devraient être orientées en vue d'améliorer le temps de prise en charge dans les services d'urgence.

Повний текст джерелаSpecific Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and economic predictors associated with rural emergency department visits in stroke patients. Methods: The current research was a retrospective, observational, cohort study. Multivariate regression was used to assess data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) 2009 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). Inclusion criteria were at least 18 years of age and rural ED admission with principle diagnoses of stroke. Main Results: Significant results for risks included: Intubation for increased mortality (OR = 17.432, p = 0.001), increased length of stay (IRR = 1.643, p = 0.018) and increased charges (exp β = 2.289, p = < 0.001); myocardial infarction for increased mortality (OR = 1.969, p = 0.006), decreased charges (exp β = 0.862, p = 0.013) and decreased length of stay (IRR = 0.853, p = 0.001); moderate to severe liver disease for increased mortality (OR = 62.691, p = 0.001) and reduced length of stay (IRR = 0.517, p = 0.025); congestive heart failure for increased mortality (OR 1.978, p = 0.003) and increased charges (exp β = 1.118, p = 0.039); non-specific cancer (OR = 2.447, p = 0.017) and metastatic cancer (OR = 4.799, p = 0.016) for mortality; hemiplegia/paraplegia for increased charges (exp β = 1.173, p = < 0.001). Conclusion: The current study found a better understanding of national estimates of burden of illness to further define clinical decision rules for stroke in rural emergency departments.

"An assessment of theoretical knowledge and psychomotor skills of Basic Life Support Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation provision by Emergency Medical Services in a province in South Africa." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16524.
Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: When high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed, survival rates can approach 50% following witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, survival rates are more commonly much worse in both the in-hospital and out-of-hospital context and range from 0% to 18%. There is a paucity of evidence surrounding the competency at which basic life support (BLS) CPR is provided among Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel in South Africa, and quality assurance mechanisms are generally scarce or do not exist. Methods: A descriptive analytical study design was used to assess theoretical knowledge and psychomotor skills of BLS CPR provision by EMS personnel in a province in South Africa. An assessment questionnaire from a 'BLS for healthcare providers' course was used to determine theoretical knowledge. Cardiac arrest simulations were video recorded to assess psychomotor skills. BLS instructors independently scored the latter. Results: Overall competency of BLS CPR among the participants (n=115) was poor. The median knowledge assessment was 50% and the median skills 22%. Only 25% of the items tested showed that the participants applied the relevant knowledge to the equivalent skill and the nature and strength of theory influencing skills was small. However, certain demographic and circumstantial variables such as sector of employment, guidelines they were trained according to, age, and location where trained had a significant effect (p<0.05) on knowledge and skills. Discussion: This study suggests that theoretical knowledge has a small but notable role to play in psychomotor skills performance of BLS CPR. Demographic and circumstantial variables that were shown to affect knowledge and skill may be used to improve training and therefore competency. The results of this study highlight the need for continuous, and perhaps tailored BLS CPR instruction to bring the diverse set of EMS personnel currently practicing in South Africa up to international competency standards.

Повний текст джерелаIt is estimated over 20 million people aged 20‐74 have gallbladder disease, with biliary colic being a common and painful symptom in these patients. Likely due to the relatively recent approval of intravenous ibuprofen use for fever and pain in adults, no assessment of its analgesic efficacy for biliary colic currently exists in the literature. In this double‐blind, randomized, controlled trial we aim to assess the analgesic efficacy of intravenous (IV) ibuprofen given in the emergency department (ED) for the treatment of biliary colic. Analgesic efficacy was evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS) to assess for a decrease in pain scores. A VAS score decrease of 33% in relation to the VAS taken at the time of therapy drug administration was considered a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) in patient‐perceived pain. A VAS was administered in triage upon enrollment, at the time of therapy administration, at 15‐minute intervals during the first hour post‐administration, and 30‐minute intervals in the second hour. As the standard of care for suspected biliary colic at the study institution is administration of a one‐time dose of IV morphine, patients were not denied initial morphine analgesia and were permitted to receive “rescue” morphine analgesia at any point during their ED course. A total of 22 patients completed the study. 9 were randomized to the IV ibuprofen arm, 9 to placebo, and 4 were excluded for a diagnosis other than biliary colic. Mean VAS values at time 0 to time 120 decreased from 5.78 to 2.31 in the ibuprofen group, and from 5.89 to 2.67 in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in treatment status of ibuprofen vs. placebo (p‐value (p.) 0.93), though there was a significant decrease in the measured VAS scores over time (0 minutes to 120 minutes, p.0.031) in both ibuprofen and placebo groups. A statistically significant and clinically important decrease in average VAS scores were seen in both placebo and ibuprofen groups (55% and 60%, respectively). There was no difference in time needed to achieve a clinically significant reduction in pain between groups. The sample size of this study may be inadequate to fully assess the analgesic efficacy of IV ibuprofen for biliary colic. In the analysis group (n=18) no significant difference in treatment status of ibuprofen vs. placebo was seen, however there was a statistically and clinically significant decrease in pain in both groups. Two potential confounding factors may have affected the trial’s results: administration of standard‐of‐care IV morphine following initial triage assessment, and the inherent episodic and self‐limited nature of biliary colic.

Повний текст джерелаfires, explosions). In the current practice, emergency response teams access such vital information to respond the emergency by visual investigating the environment and by asking the people in the neighborhood which causes gaining wrong and misleading information and results in loosing time and increasing the hazardous effect of emergency. Hence, there is a need for an approach to enable emergency response teams to access timely and accurate needed information items. To start the first step of this approach, the information items needed by emergency response teams to guide occupants the safe exits, to direct emergency response teams to vulnerable locations of the facility are identified and classified. Identified information items will be represented to emergency response teams by a model based system (BIM). The opportunities of model based system (BIM) will enable fast and safe evacuation of the facility, identification of vulnerable locations within the facility in a multi hazard emergency.

Portland, Oregon, lies within an active tectonic margin, which puts the city at risk to hazards from earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The young Juan de Fuca microplate is subducting under North America, introducing not only arc magmatism into the overlying plate, but also interplate and intraplate seismicity related to the subduction zone. Large crustal earthquakes are also probable in Portland because of the oblique strike-slip Portland Hills Fault zone. These hazards create risk to Portland residents and infrastructure because of pre-existing vulnerabilities. Much of Portland's downtown area, including the government and business districts, is at risk of ground shaking infrastructure damage, liquefaction and landslides due to earthquakes. Additionally, the city is within 110 km of three active Cascadia stratovolcanoes, two of which pose hazards from tephra and lahars. Though the city is under the umbrella of four emergency response plans-city, county, state and federal-there are critical gaps in mitigation strategies, emergency exercises and community education and outreach. Portland cannot prevent earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, but the city can reduce its vulnerability to these hazards.

Повний текст джерелаObjectives: To evaluate the use of the numerical pain scale at the Sierra Vista Regional Health Center Emergency Department in adult patients presenting with a chief complaint of pain. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 299 charts of patients presenting to the emergency department with a chief complaint of pain. Results: Pain was assessed in 86.2% of 299 patients at triage, 26.4% post-intervention, and 58.2% at discharge. The average pain value reported by patients at triage was 6.3. Subsequent average pain value post-intervention was 4.1 and 2.9 at discharge. The average pain value at triage compared to the average pain value at discharge was statistically different (p<0.05). Conclusions: Pain assessment using the NRS is not being performed adequately in all patients presenting to the emergency department at SVRHC with a chief complaint of pain.

Повний текст джерелаBackground: Several Swedish hospitals developed triage scales in the 1990s to prioritize and sort patients in emergency rooms. One of the reasons was that the number of patients increased and resources of available doctors were limited. Aim: To describe the factors that may be important for the nurse’ triage assessment in emergency departments and to describe the data collection methods the chosen articles have used.Method: A literature study with descriptive design based on 12 scientific articles with both qualitative and quantitative approach. The search for articles have occurred in the databases Cinahl, PubMed and Google Scholar.Results: The high workload and lack of staff were factors that were relevant to the nursing profession. Some nurses felt that the high workload could lead to fewer correct priorities, it is difficult to prioritize a patient when the nurse is stressed. Less experienced nurses changed their decisions in the triage and took more time at the triage assessment. Training and simulation training was important in the triage process so the nurses could develop skills, make decisions and gather more accurate information in the assessment. Triage Nurses could be interrupted by patients asking how long it takes before they are assessed. This was a source of stress and dissatisfaction and affect concentration. Seven articles have used interviews, four have used observations and five have used other methods of data collection.Conclusion: A major reason for fewer correct triage priorities are high workload and stress. Nurse's concentration is affected by patients who discontinue during the triage process and the lack of staff means that the patient flow through the emergency department adversely affected.
