STUDY OBJECTIVEBlood pressure (BP) control is thought to be critical in acute intracerebral hemorrhage management. Here, we investigated whether reducing systolic BP ≤150 mm Hg within 2 hours of emergency department (ED) arrival is associated with improved outcomes and assessed the effect of excessive BP lowering ("overshooting") on functional recovery.METHODSWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who presented to 2 academic medical centers between 2017 and 2023. We assessed the associations between blood pressure (BP) indicators, including BP control (≤150 mm Hg within 2 hours) and overshooting (<120 mm Hg), and the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at discharge, dichotomized as a good (0 to 3) or poor (4 to 6) outcome, using logistic regression adjusted for ICH score, time from last seen well, and arrival BP.RESULTSAmong 420 included patients, 323 (76.9%) had arrival BP>150 mm Hg. Of these, 62.8% received antihypertensive medications within 1 hour of ED arrival, and 71.2% achieved goal BP within 2 hours. Achieving goal BP within 2 hours of ED arrival was associated with worse outcomes (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.17 to 4.57). Overshooting within 6 hours was associated with worse outcomes (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.27 to 5.13). Antihypertensive medication type (bolus versus infusion) did not influence overshooting risk.CONCLUSIONSAlthough successful early BP reduction is common in ICH care, excessive lowering is also common and is associated with worse functional outcome. Caution is warranted to avoid overshooting during acute BP management.
研究目的:血压(BP)控制被认为是急性脑出血治疗的关键。在这里,我们研究了在急诊科(ED)到达2小时内降低收缩压≤150 mm Hg是否与改善预后有关,并评估了过度降低血压(“过调”)对功能恢复的影响。方法对2017年至2023年在2个学术医疗中心就诊的自发性脑出血(ICH)成年患者进行回顾性队列研究。我们评估了血压(BP)指标之间的关系,包括血压控制(2小时内≤150毫米汞柱)和超调(150毫米汞柱)。其中,62.8%的患者在ED到达1小时内接受降压药物治疗,71.2%的患者在2小时内达到目标血压。在ED到达2小时内达到目标血压与较差的结果相关(OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.17至4.57)。6小时内的超调与较差的结果相关(OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.27至5.13)。抗高血压药物类型(丸剂与输注)不影响超调风险。结论:早期降压成功在脑出血治疗中很常见,但过度降压也很常见,并与较差的功能预后相关。在急性血压管理期间,必须谨慎避免过调。

STUDY OBJECTIVEWe sought to characterize changes in the proportion of key capabilities related to the emergency care of patients with opioid use disorder among emergency departments (EDs) participating in all years of the 2020 to 2024 the American College of Emergency Physicians Emergency Quality Network Opioid Initiative.METHODSAt the beginning of each annual quality improvement collaborative, EDs completed an online survey regarding capabilities on services for patients presenting to their ED with opioid use disorder or opioid overdose, including provision of outpatient naloxone after overdose, presence of a clinician who prescribes buprenorphine in the ED, an adopted protocol for buprenorphine initiation, and use of clinical support tools to guide opioid use disorder treatment.RESULTSA total of 174 unique EDs participated in all E-QUAL opioid collaboratives from 2020 to 2024. More than half of participating EDs were rural and saw less than 20,000 visits per year. EDs reported an increase in the naloxone provision to patients presenting after opioid overdose from 39.1% (68/174) in 2020 to 89.7% (156/174) in 2024. The number of EDs reporting a clinician who prescribes buprenorphine in their ED also increased (16.7% [29/174] in 2022 to 52.87% [92/174] in 2024). Protocols for ED-initiated buprenorphine and use of clinical support tools to guide the treatment of opioid use disorder remained similar (4.0% [7/174] to 5.8% [10/174] and 46.0% [80/174] to 48.9% [85/174]).CONCLUSIONSThese trends demonstrate increasing acceptance and incorporation of naloxone provision after opioid overdose and ED clinicians who prescribe buprenorphine among a group of mostly rural, small community EDs participating in a quality improvement-based learning collaborative.
研究目的:我们试图描述参与2020年至2024年美国急诊医师学会急诊质量网络阿片类药物倡议的所有年度急诊科(EDs)中与阿片类药物使用障碍患者急诊护理相关的关键能力比例的变化特征。方法在每次年度质量改进协作开始时,急诊科完成一项关于阿片类药物使用障碍或阿片类药物过量患者的服务能力的在线调查,包括过量后提供门诊纳洛酮,在急诊科开具丁丙诺啡的临床医生的存在,丁丙诺啡起始的采用方案,以及使用临床支持工具指导阿片类药物使用障碍治疗。结果2020 - 2024年,共有174名独特的ed参与了所有E-QUAL阿片类药物合作。超过一半的急诊医生来自农村,每年的就诊人数不到2万。急诊医生报告,阿片类药物过量后患者的纳洛酮供应从2020年的39.1%(68/174)增加到2024年的89.7%(156/174)。报告有临床医生在急诊科开丁丙诺啡的急诊科数量也有所增加,从2022年的16.7%[29/174]增加到2024年的52.87%[92/174]。ed启动丁丙诺啡的方案和使用临床支持工具指导阿片类药物使用障碍的治疗仍然相似(4.0%[7/174]至5.8%[10/174]和46.0%[80/174]至48.9%[85/174])。结论:这些趋势表明,阿片类药物过量后,纳洛酮的使用和丁丙诺啡的处方越来越被接受和纳入,主要是农村、小型社区的急诊科医生参与了基于质量改进的学习协作。

STUDY OBJECTIVEDiagnosis of deep neck space infections is challenging in children due to subtle symptoms and examination findings. However, delays in diagnosis can contribute to increased morbidity in pediatric deep neck space infection. We aimed to determine (1) the most frequent discharge diagnoses associated with emergency department (ED) visits in the 10 days before deep neck space infection diagnosis and (2) use cohorts of pediatric ED visits with these frequent diagnoses to determine factors associated with return admission with deep neck space infection.METHODSCross-sectional analysis of ED and inpatient visits for ages less than 18 years from the State Emergency Department and State Inpatient Datasets from 2018-2019. We linked deep neck space infection admissions (identified by primary International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision diagnosis J390) to 10-day antecedent ED visits and identified the most frequent discharge diagnoses in these visits. We then analyzed cohorts of ED encounters with these frequent discharge diagnoses: 1) localized neck symptoms (pain, mass, or torticollis), and 2) pharyngitis or tonsillitis; and compared patient and hospital characteristics of visits with and without a subsequent 10-day admission for deep neck space infection using descriptive statistics. Firth logistic regression was used to assess patient and hospital predictors of a deep neck space infection revisit.RESULTSAmong 799 pediatric deep neck space infection admissions included in the study, 146 (18.3%) patients had more than or equal to 1 treat-and-release ED visits in the 10-day window before deep neck space infection admission. In the cohorts of ED treat-and-release visits for pharyngitis/tonsillitis (n=419,660) and localized neck symptoms (n=54,779), 10-day return visits for deep neck space infection were rare, representing 0.01% and 0.07% of visits, respectively. ED visits with neck imaging were associated with deep neck space infection revisit for both cohorts. Predictors of deep neck space infection in the localized neck symptoms cohort also included younger age and an ED diagnosis of fever, whereas in the pharyngitis cohort, deep neck space infection revisit was associated with ED diagnosis of localized neck symptoms, and negatively associated with a diagnosis of upper respiratory infection or respiratory symptoms.CONCLUSIONSIn ED encounters where patients were discharged with neck pain/mass or torticollis, younger age and a diagnosis of fever were associated with a subsequent deep neck space infection admission. Among ED patients discharged with pharyngitis/tonsillitis, absence of upper respiratory infection/respiratory diagnosis, and neck pain/mass/or torticollis were associated with increased risk of return admission for deep neck space infection. Increased clinical suspicion for deep neck space infection (as manifested by laboratory findings/neck imaging at initial ED visit) was associated with increased risk of deep neck space
研究目的由于儿童深颈间隙感染的症状和检查结果不明显,诊断具有挑战性。然而,诊断的延误会增加儿童深颈间隙感染的发病率。我们的目的是确定(1)在深颈间隙感染诊断前10天内与急诊科(ED)就诊相关的最频繁出院诊断;(2)使用具有这些频繁诊断的儿科急诊科就诊队列来确定与深颈间隙感染再次入院相关的因素。方法对2018-2019年国家急诊科和国家住院患者数据集中年龄小于18岁的ED和住院患者就诊进行横断面分析。我们将深颈间隙感染入院(根据《国际疾病分类》第10版诊断J390确定)与10天前的急诊科就诊联系起来,并确定了这些就诊中最常见的出院诊断。然后,我们分析了ED患者的常见出院诊断:1)局部颈部症状(疼痛、肿块或斜颈),2)咽炎或扁桃体炎;并采用描述性统计方法比较深颈间隙感染住院10天和未住院10天的患者和医院特征。第五,使用逻辑回归评估患者和医院对深颈间隙感染的预测因素。结果本研究纳入的799例儿童深颈间隙感染入院患者中,146例(18.3%)患者在深颈间隙感染入院前10天窗口内就诊次数大于等于1次。在因咽炎/扁桃体炎(n=419,660)和局部颈部症状(n=54,779)进行ED治疗和释放就诊的队列中,因深颈部间隙感染进行10天复诊的情况很少见,分别占就诊人数的0.01%和0.07%。在两个队列中,有颈部显像的急诊科就诊与深颈部间隙感染再次就诊相关。在局部颈部症状队列中,深颈间隙感染的预测因素还包括年龄较小和ED诊断为发热,而在咽炎队列中,深颈间隙感染再次访问与ED诊断为局部颈部症状相关,与上呼吸道感染或呼吸道症状的诊断负相关。结论:在因颈部疼痛/肿块或斜颈出院的ED就诊中,年龄较小和发热诊断与随后的深颈部间隙感染住院有关。在因咽炎/扁桃体炎出院的ED患者中,没有上呼吸道感染/呼吸道诊断,颈部疼痛/肿块/或斜颈与因深颈部间隙感染再次入院的风险增加相关。临床对深颈间隙感染的怀疑增加(如初次急诊时的实验室检查/颈部影像学所示)与深颈间隙感染再次就诊的风险增加相关,这是未来研究的一个领域。研究结果应在具有更详细临床文件的数据集中得到验证。

STUDY OBJECTIVESTo explore physicians' interpretation and decisionmaking when encountering computed tomographic pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) reports communicating diagnostic uncertainty about the presence of pulmonary embolism (PE).METHODSWe conducted semistructured interviews from February 1 to June 3, 2024 among purposively sampled emergency medicine and hospital medicine physicians in the United States. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed in an iterative process using reflexive thematic analysis.RESULTSWe analyzed interviews from 25 emergency physicians and 17 hospitalists. The median age was 41 years and 33% identified as women. Participants were diverse in practice setting and years of practice. Central themes included a lack of organized approach to diagnostic uncertainty, a perception that empiric anticoagulation would represent "erring on the side of caution," a tendency to defer additional testing and ascertainment of diagnostic certainty to downstream decision makers, and a disinclination to engage in repeat testing due to time pressures and local culture. Although many participants expressed support for the general idea of standardized communication of diagnostic uncertainty, most resisted its quantification in the context of CTPA reports. Many voiced concern that quantification of uncertainty left them without a clear course of action.CONCLUSIONAlthough diagnostic uncertainty regarding the presence of PE is commonly encountered in CTPA reports, most physicians report a lack of an organized approach to this scenario, often defaulting to empiric anticoagulation and deferring additional diagnostic testing. Future efforts are needed to develop data-driven guidance for encountering diagnostic uncertainty in radiographic imaging reports for PE.
研究目的探讨医生在遇到计算机断层肺血管造影(CTPA)报告时对肺栓塞(PE)存在诊断不确定性的解释和决策。方法:我们于2024年2月1日至6月3日对美国急诊医学和医院医学医师进行了半结构化访谈。访谈记录,转录,并在一个迭代过程中使用反身性主题分析进行分析。结果对25名急诊医师和17名住院医师的访谈进行分析。平均年龄为41岁,其中33%为女性。参与者在实践环境和实践年限上是多样化的。中心主题包括缺乏对诊断不确定性的有组织的方法,认为经验性抗凝治疗代表“谨慎的错误”,倾向于将额外的测试和诊断确定性的确定推迟给下游决策者,以及由于时间压力和当地文化而不愿意进行重复测试。虽然许多与会者表示支持诊断不确定性的标准化交流的总体想法,但大多数人反对在CTPA报告的背景下将其量化。许多人表示担心,不确定性的量化使他们没有明确的行动方针。结论:尽管在CTPA报告中经常遇到关于PE存在的诊断不确定性,但大多数医生报告缺乏有组织的方法来处理这种情况,通常默认使用经验性抗凝并推迟额外的诊断测试。未来需要努力开发数据驱动的指导,以应对PE放射成像报告中的诊断不确定性。

For more than 100 years, physicians and patients considered appendicitis a surgical emergency requiring hospitalization for urgent removal of the obstructed and inflamed appendix to prevent rupture and sepsis. With the advent of modern imaging, uncomplicated appendicitis is identifiable, and later evidence showed that surgical delay does not increase the risk of appendiceal perforation. Perforation appears to be a separate disease, with uncomplicated appendicitis likely related to infection, which sometimes self-resolves. Most recently, studies compared nonoperative treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis with antibiotics and observation followed by selective surgery to urgent appendectomy, including 4 multicenter trials involving more than 2,000 adults and 2,000 children. The results led the American College of Surgeons to endorse nonoperative treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis as a safe alternative treatment. Furthermore, emergency department discharge and outpatient management appears feasible in as many as 90% of nonoperative treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis-treated patients. We review methods and results of these trials and evaluate implications for emergency care.
100多年来,医生和患者认为阑尾炎是一种外科急诊,需要住院治疗,紧急切除阻塞和发炎的阑尾,以防止破裂和败血症。随着现代影像学的出现,简单的阑尾炎是可识别的,后来的证据表明手术延迟不会增加阑尾穿孔的风险。穿孔似乎是一种单独的疾病,无并发症的阑尾炎可能与感染有关,有时会自行消退。最近的研究比较了非并发症阑尾炎的非手术治疗与抗生素和观察后的选择性手术与紧急阑尾切除术,包括4项多中心试验,涉及2000多名成人和2000多名儿童。结果使美国外科医师学会认可非手术治疗无并发症的阑尾炎是一种安全的替代治疗方法。此外,急诊出院和门诊管理似乎在多达90%的非并发症阑尾炎治疗患者的非手术治疗中是可行的。我们回顾这些试验的方法和结果,并评估对急诊护理的影响。

With the advent of modern imaging, uncomplicated appendicitis is identifiable, and later evidence showed that surgical delay does not increase the risk of appendiceal perforation. Perforation appears to be a separate disease, with uncomplicated appendicitis likely related to infection, which sometimes self-resolves. Most recently, studies compared nonoperative treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis with antibiotics and observation followed by selective surgery to urgent appendectomy, including 4 multicenter trials involving more than 2,000 adults and 2,000 children. The results led the American College of Surgeons to endorse nonoperative treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis as a safe alternative treatment. Furthermore, emergency department discharge and outpatient management appears feasible in as many as 90% of nonoperative treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis-treated patients. We review methods and results of these trials and evaluate implications for emergency care.","PeriodicalId":8236,"journal":{"name":"Annals of emergency medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145674416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
