Background: Emergency physicians have the highest rates of burnout among all specialties. Existing burnout tools include the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and single-item measures from the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). While both were designed to measure burnout, how they conceptualize this phenomenon differs and their agreement is unclear. Given the close conceptual relationship between emotional regulation strategies such as distancing and distraction with the MBI subscale of depersonalization, we examined agreement between the two inventories and association with emotional regulation strategies as a lens to explore the conceptualization of burnout.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of adult and pediatric emergency physicians and trainees in Canada. Survey questions were pretested using written feedback and cognitive interviews. "Frequent use" of an emotional regulation strategy was "most" or "all" shifts (≥4 on 5-point Likert scale). Burnout was defined as mean ≥50/100 on the CBI and scoring ≥5 (out of 7) on at least one of the single-item measures from the MBI. Associations with burnout were examined using multivariable logistic regression.

Results: Of 147 respondents, 44.2% were positive for burnout on the CBI and 44.9% on the single-item measures from the MBI. Disagreement was 21.1% overall, ranging from 12.5% for older (≥55 years) physicians to 30.2% for younger (<35 years) physicians. Use of distraction and use of distancing were strongly associated with burnout on the single-item measures (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 14.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.4-60.8]) and CBI (aOR 10.1, 95% CI 2.5-39.8, respectively.

Conclusions: Despite near-equal rates of burnout, agreement between the CBI and single-item measures from the MBI varies and was lower for younger emergency physicians/trainees. While emotional regulation strategies were felt to be important in supporting a career in emergency medicine, they were strongly associated with burnout. Future research is needed to better understand this phenomenon and which tools to use to measure burnout.

背景:在所有专业中,急诊医生的职业倦怠率最高。现有的职业倦怠工具包括哥本哈根职业倦怠量表(CBI)和马斯拉赫职业倦怠量表(MBI)中的单项测量。虽然这两种工具都是为了测量职业倦怠而设计的,但它们对这一现象的概念有何不同,其一致性尚不明确。鉴于疏远和分散注意力等情绪调节策略与 MBI 的人格解体分量表之间存在密切的概念关系,我们研究了这两个量表之间的一致性以及与情绪调节策略之间的关联,以此作为探索职业倦怠概念化的一个视角:我们对加拿大的成人和儿科急诊医生及实习生进行了横断面调查。调查问题通过书面反馈和认知访谈进行了预先测试。情绪调节策略的 "经常使用 "是指 "大部分 "或 "所有 "班次(在5点Likert量表中≥4)。职业倦怠的定义是:CBI的平均值≥50/100,并且在MBI的单项测量中至少有一项得分≥5(满分7分)。采用多变量逻辑回归法研究了倦怠的相关性:在 147 名受访者中,44.2% 的受访者在 CBI 和 MBI 的单项测评中对职业倦怠呈阳性反应,44.9% 的受访者在 CBI 和 MBI 的单项测评中对职业倦怠呈阳性反应。总体不同意率为 21.1%,年龄较大(≥55 岁)的医生不同意率为 12.5%,年龄较小的医生不同意率为 30.2%:尽管职业倦怠的发生率几乎相同,但CBI与MBI中的单项测量之间的一致性存在差异,且年轻急诊医师/见习医师的一致性较低。虽然人们认为情绪调节策略对于支持急诊医学事业非常重要,但它们与职业倦怠密切相关。未来的研究需要更好地理解这一现象,以及使用哪些工具来测量职业倦怠。

BackgroundEmergency physicians commonly treat patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL) with rapid ventricular response, and intravenous (IV) diltiazem is the most commonly used medication for rate control of such patients. We sought to compare rate control success and safety outcomes for emergency department (ED) patients with AF or AFL who, after a diltiazem bolus, received a diltiazem drip compared to those who did not receive a drip.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study comparing outcomes of ED patients from a single hospital system with AF and AFL and a heart rate (HR) > 100 beats/min who received a diltiazem drip after an IV diltiazem bolus to those who received no drip. The primary outcome was a HR < 100 beats/min at the time of ED disposition. Secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay and safety (hypotension, electrical cardioversion, vasopressor use, and death). We compared groups using propensity score matching.ResultsBetween January 1, 2020, and November 8, 2022, there were 746 AF or AFL patients eligible for analysis. Of those, 382 (51.2%) received a diltiazem drip and 364 (48.8%) did not. In the unadjusted analysis, the last recorded ED HR was <100 beats/min in 55.2% of patients in the drip group compared to 65.9% in the no‐drip group (difference 10.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.7 to 17.7). After propensity matching, diltiazem drip use was associated with lower likelihood of rate control in the ED (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.48–0.99) and 22.5 h (95% CI 12.2–36.8) longer hospital stay.ConclusionsFor patients with AF or AFL, the use of a diltiazem drip after an IV diltiazem bolus was associated with less rate control in the ED.
背景急诊医生通常会对心房颤动(AF)或心房扑动(AFL)患者进行快速心室反应治疗,而静脉注射地尔硫卓是控制此类患者心率的最常用药物。我们试图比较急诊科(ED)房颤或心房扑动患者在使用地尔硫卓栓剂后接受地尔硫卓滴注与未接受滴注的患者的心率控制成功率和安全性结果。我们进行了一项回顾性队列研究,比较了单一医院系统中房颤和心房扑动且心率(HR)为 100 次/分的急诊科患者在使用静脉地尔硫卓栓剂后接受地尔硫卓滴注与未接受滴注的患者的结果。主要结果是急诊室处置时的心率< 100次/分。次要结果是住院时间和安全性(低血压、心脏电复律、使用血管加压器和死亡)。结果2020年1月1日至2022年11月8日期间,有746名房颤或房颤患者符合分析条件。其中,382 人(51.2%)接受了地尔硫卓滴注,364 人(48.8%)未接受滴注。在未经调整的分析中,滴注组 55.2% 的患者最后记录的 ED HR 为 100 次/分,而未滴注组为 65.9%(差异为 10.7%,95% 置信区间 [CI] 为 3.7 至 17.7)。经过倾向匹配后,使用地尔硫卓滴注与在急诊室控制心率的可能性较低(OR 0.69,95% CI 0.48-0.99)和住院时间延长 22.5 小时(95% CI 12.2-36.8)有关。

Background: Disparities in health outcomes, including increased chronic disease prevalence and decreased life expectancy for Indigenous people, have been shown across settings affected by white settler colonialism including Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Emergency departments (EDs) represent a unique setting in which urgent patient need and provider strain interact to amplify inequities within society. The aim of this scoping review was to map the ED-based interventions aimed at improving equity in care for Indigenous patients in EDs.

Methods: This scoping review was conducted using the procedures outlined by Arksey and O'Malley and guidance on conducting scoping reviews from the Joanna Briggs Institute. A systematic search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and EMBASE was conducted.

Results: A total of 3636 articles were screened by title and abstract, of which 32 were screened in full-text review and nine articles describing seven interventions were included in this review. Three intervention approaches were identified: the introduction of novel clinical roles, implementation of chronic disease screening programs in EDs, and systems/organizational-level interventions.

Conclusions: Relatively few interventions for improving equity in care were identified. We found that a minority of interventions are aimed at creating organizational-level change and suggest that future interventions could benefit from targeting system-level changes as opposed to or in addition to incorporating new roles in EDs.

背景:在加拿大、美国、澳大利亚和新西兰等受白人殖民主义影响的地区,都出现了健康结果不均衡的现象,包括土著居民慢性病发病率上升和预期寿命缩短。急诊室(ED)是一个独特的环境,病人的紧急需求和医疗服务提供者的压力相互作用,扩大了社会中的不平等。本范围界定综述旨在绘制以急诊室为基础的干预措施图,旨在改善急诊室对土著患者的公平护理:本范围界定综述采用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 概述的程序以及乔安娜-布里格斯研究所(Joanna Briggs Institute)提供的范围界定综述指南。对 MEDLINE、CINAHL、SCOPUS 和 EMBASE 进行了系统检索:通过标题和摘要共筛选出 3636 篇文章,其中 32 篇经过全文审查,9 篇描述 7 种干预方法的文章被纳入本综述。确定了三种干预方法:引入新的临床角色、在急诊室实施慢性病筛查计划以及系统/组织层面的干预措施:结论:为改善护理公平性而采取的干预措施相对较少。我们发现,少数干预措施旨在实现组织层面的变革,并建议未来的干预措施可以从针对系统层面的变革中获益,而不是将新角色纳入急诊室。

Objectives: Up to 50% of ultrasounds (USs) for suspected pediatric appendicitis are nondiagnostic. While the validated low-risk clinical pediatric Appendicitis Risk Calculator (pARC) score < 15% and the low-risk US with nonvisualized appendix and no periappendiceal inflammation carry relatively low appendicitis risks, the contribution of the combination of both characteristics to this risk has never been assessed. The primary objective was to determine the proportion of children with the low-risk US-low-risk pARC combination with appendicitis. We hypothesized that this proportion would be 2.5% (upper 95% CI ≤ 5%).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 448 previously healthy children 4-17 years old at a pediatric ED with suspected appendicitis, nondiagnostic US, and persistent clinical concern about appendicitis. Two investigators abstracted demographic, clinical, and imaging data. Based on published criteria, USs were classified as low-risk or high-risk. The pARC includes seven demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables and is quantified according to the published formula. The primary outcome was appendicitis, based on the histological evidence. All nonoperated patients underwent a 1-month-follow-up to exclude delayed appendicitis diagnoses.

Results: Sixty of the 448 (13.4%) patients had appendicitis; 269 (60%) had low-risk US, 262 (58.4%) had low-risk pARC, and 163 (36.4%) had both characteristics. The appendicitis rates with low-risk pARC alone and low-risk US alone were 14/262 (5.4%) and 21/269 (7.8%), respectively. A total of 2/163 children (1.2%) with low-risk pARC and low-risk US had appendicitis (95% CI 0%-4.4%). Higher-risk US increased the appendicitis odds 5 (95% CI 1.54-20.55) to 11 times (95% CI 2.41-51.10) across pARC levels. The low-risk combination had sensitivity of 96.7% (95% CI 88.5%-99.6%), specificity of 41.5%, positive predictive value of 20.4%, and negative predictive value of 98.8% (95% CI 95.6%-99.9%).

Conclusions: The children with low-risk pARC and low-risk US combination are unlikely to have appendicitis and can be discharged home. The presence of higher-risk US-pARC score combinations substantially increases the appendicitis risk and warrants reassessment or interval imaging.

目的:高达 50% 的疑似小儿阑尾炎超声检查(US)无法确诊。而经过验证的低风险临床小儿阑尾炎风险计算器(pARC)评分方法:对一家儿科急诊室的 448 名 4-17 岁健康儿童进行回顾性队列研究,这些儿童曾被怀疑患有阑尾炎,但超声检查未确诊,而且临床上一直担心他们患有阑尾炎。两名研究人员摘录了人口统计学、临床和影像学数据。根据已公布的标准,US 被分为低风险和高风险。pARC 包括七个人口统计学、临床和实验室变量,并根据已公布的公式进行量化。主要结果是阑尾炎,以组织学证据为依据。所有非手术患者都接受了为期 1 个月的随访,以排除阑尾炎的延迟诊断:448 名患者中有 60 人(13.4%)患有阑尾炎;269 人(60%)患有低风险 US,262 人(58.4%)患有低风险 pARC,163 人(36.4%)同时具有这两种特征。仅有低风险 pARC 和仅有低风险 US 的阑尾炎发生率分别为 14/262(5.4%)和 21/269(7.8%)。低风险 pARC 和低风险 US 的阑尾炎患儿分别为 2/163(1.2%)和 2/163(95% CI 0%-4.4%)。高风险 US 使不同 pARC 水平的阑尾炎几率增加了 5 倍(95% CI 1.54-20.55)至 11 倍(95% CI 2.41-51.10)。低风险组合的敏感性为96.7%(95% CI 88.5%-99.6%),特异性为41.5%,阳性预测值为20.4%,阴性预测值为98.8%(95% CI 95.6%-99.9%):结论:低风险 pARC 和低风险 US 组合的患儿不太可能患有阑尾炎,可以出院回家。高风险 US-pARC 评分组合会大大增加阑尾炎的风险,因此需要重新评估或进行间隔性造影。
