It was postulated that the absence of an expiratory valve and the resulting air entrainment via the exhaust port accounts for the poor oxygen delivery performance. The current disposable SIRB in-use in our institutions (Med-Rescuer Disposable BVM Resuscitator 4000, BLS Systems Limited, ON, Canada) has a duckbill valve but no expiratory valve. Safety concerns regarding its oxygen delivery performance during spontaneous breathing were raised, as this SIRB was commonly used to preoxygenate critically ill patient with potentially transmissible respiratory infection (e.g. COVID-19) before tracheal intubation. We therefore performed an experiment on this SIRB using one of us as a healthy volunteer. Our small experiment demonstrated that air entrainment could occur via the exhaust port and affect oxygen delivery performance. Our experiment also demonstrated that attaching a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) valve to the exhaust port improves the oxygen delivery performance. The findings of this experiment were sent to the relevant department of our institutions for safety consideration.","PeriodicalId":50401,"journal":{"name":"Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":"30 1","pages":"61 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46678954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dear Editor, We read with great interest the editorial by Lim, Balsari and Hung recently published on Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine.1 We do agree with the authors as they state that emergency physicians play a major role in preparing the communities for the challenges related to the climate change. In particular, we believe that emergency departments (EDs) offer a unique point of view on the health need of the population; moreover, the correlation between climatic factors and daily ED visits may represent a good model to understand the impact of climate on human morbidity.2 Thus, we conducted the analyses to determine the relationship between climatic factors and ED visits; we performed a retrospective study at the Santa Croce e Carle teaching hub hospital in Cuneo, north-west of Italy, over a 2-year period (1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020). Adults presenting to the ED for several pathologies were included. Data on mean barometric pressure, temperature and rain or snow were collected daily from a weather station located 1 km from the hospital. The relationship of daily or between-day (interday) changes in climatic factors and ED visits was evaluated using time series analysis. In the studied period, there were 151,787 total ED visits; here, we report all the correlations with a statistical significance (i.e. p ⩽ 0.05). Negative interday difference in barometric pressure, lower values of barometric pressure and lower temperature were associated with a decrease in daily ED accesses; in addition, we observed fewer ED accesses during rainy or snowy days. Lower temperature and negative variations in barometric pressure were associated with more ED admissions for respiratory diseases (asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations and pneumonia). Besides, we observed a positive correlation between barometric pressure differences and presentations for stroke; finally, lower values of barometric pressure were associated with a greater number of visits for psychiatric disorders. In conclusion, we can state that a correlation between weather factors and ED visits exists; this correlation is particularly strong for respiratory diseases. In the editorial’s conclusion, Lim and colleagues wonder if Emergency Medicine is ready to face the greatest challenge of our times. We believe that an important step is rising awareness among the society that climate is a fundamental determinant of health; fully understanding the interaction between climate and human morbidity may represent a way for copin","PeriodicalId":50401,"journal":{"name":"Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":"29 1","pages":"323 - 324"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46900916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hemorrhage from pelvic injury is associated with high mortality and is a common cause of preventable trauma death. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the establishment of a trauma center and management protocols on the outcomes of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures. Methods: Hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures were reviewed retrospectively over a 10-year period. They were grouped into the pre-phase and post-phase, which were defined as before and after the establishment of a trauma center and protocols, respectively. Basic characteristics and outcomes were compared between periods. Results: This study enrolled a total of 106 patients. Basic and physiological characteristics were not significantly different in both phases. Pre-peritoneal packing and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta were only performed in the post-phase (pre-peritoneal packing, N = 27; resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta, N = 10). In the post-phase, the time from emergency department arrival to hemostatic intervention was significantly shorter (269 ± 132.4 min vs 147.2 ± 95.5 min, p < 0.0001), and mortality due to acute hemorrhage was significantly lower (p = 0.003; absolute risk reduction: 0.22; relative risk reduction: 0.72). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, injury severity score, and the pre-phase as independent risk factors for mortality.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every corner of the world, disparity exists among different regions in Asia. The World Health Organization (WHO) statistics showed that South East Asia and Western Pacific ranked third and fourth in terms of the number of cumulative cases as of 24th February 2022.1 In parallel, Western Pacific region has the highest population vaccination rate with 81 persons fully vaccinated per 100 population.1 Thanks to the prompt public health measures, emergency departments (EDs) in Hong Kong have seen relatively fewer COVID-19 patients compared with neighbouring regions.2 The fear of contracting the infection has caused a significant drop in ED attendance during periods of high COVID-19 caseload. In a local survey, 25% of the citizens reported that they would avoid visiting hospital EDs during the pandemic.3 COVID-19 has also caused health service disruptions to people in need of healthcare, including patients with chronic diseases.4 At the time of writing, Hong Kong is currently faced with the largest community outbreak of COVID-19 since the pandemic began. It is commonly agreed that ED staff safety and morale are the top priorities in well functioning EDs. During the pandemic, emergency healthcare workers, especially nurses, have a high rate of burnout. Zakaria et al.5 found the frequent exposure to an angry public, increase in workload, long working hours, dynamic work conditions (including frequent change of guidelines and management approach), and perceived underpayment are factors leading to burnout during COVID-19 in Malaysia. A survey conducted by Wong et al.6 in four public EDs in Hong Kong showed that ED healthcare professionals who had a higher level of self-reported resilience had better compassion satisfaction and lower levels of secondary traumatic stress and burnout, highlighting the importance of fostering resilience among ED staff. The pandemic is also known to impact on psychological health in our everyday lives.7 Protecting and ensuring the wellbeing of ED staff are more important than ever. Combating COVID-19 at the frontline, ED staff have to be vigilant in screening for potential cases, often with a limited battery of diagnostic tests especially early in the pandemic. Asymptomatic cases put additional pressure on the frontline staff. Screening criteria based on fever, travel history, occupation, contact history, and cluster of symptoms (FTOCC) remain the cornerstone in most EDs. Lin et al.8 demonstrated that a travel history alert at the ED that link","PeriodicalId":50401,"journal":{"name":"Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":"29 1","pages":"135 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45877612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quality improvement efforts will depend on robust baseline data, but little has been published on the breadth and severity of paediatric illness seen in Mozambique. Methods: This was a retrospective review of routinely collected provider shift summary data from the Paediatric Emergency Department (PED) at Hospital Central de Maputo (HCM), the principal academic and referral hospital in the country. All children 0 to 14 years of age seen in the 12-month period from August 2018 to July 2019 were included. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed. Results: Data from 346 days and 64,966 patient encounters were analysed. The large majority of patients (96.4%) presented directly to the PED without referral from a lower level facility. An average of 188 patients was seen per day, with significant seasonal variation peaking in March (292 patients/ day). The most common diagnoses were upper respiratory infections (URIs), gastroenteritis, asthma and dermatologic problems. The highest acuity diagnoses were neurologic prob-lems (59%), asthma (57%) and neonatal diagnoses (50%). Diagnoses with the largest proportion of admissions included neurologic problems, malaria and neonatal diagnoses. Rapid malaria antigen tests were the most commonly ordered laboratory test across all diagnostic categories; full blood count (FBC) and chemistries were also commonly ordered. Urinalysis and HIV testing were rarely done in the PED. Conclusion: This epidemiologic profile of illness seen in the HCM PED for improved resource utilization. opportunities for evidence-based care algo-rithms for common diagnoses such as respiratory illness to improve patient care and flow. The PED may also be able to optimize laboratory and radiology evaluation for patients and develop standardized admission criteria by diagnosis.

Medical staff generally lack the experience of performing resuscitation on pregnant patients. Maternal cardiac arrest and perimortem caesarean section simulation training was newly introduced in the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics provider courses in Hong Kong since April 2021. Objective: To evaluate the course participants’ opinions on maternal cardiac arrest simulation training. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted for all participants in the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics provider course in April 2021 to assess their opinions on the usefulness of this training. Results: There were four Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics provider courses in April 2021 with 36 participants in each course, and 137 questionnaires were received at the end of the course. The response rate was 137/144 (95.1%). After excluding the questionnaires with incomplete information, 134 questionnaires were included for final analysis. Almost all of the participants agreed that the maternal cardiac arrest simulation training could help them in their work (97.8%), could improve their knowledge and skill (98.5%) and could improve team training and co-ordination (97.0%). The majority of them (97.0%) felt more confident in managing maternal cardiac arrest after the training, and 97.8% of participants felt that the perimortem caesarean section model was useful for training.
