The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of US ONSD, as compared to head computed tomography (CT), in detecting EICP of both traumatic and non-traumatic origin. We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study. Patients presenting to the emergency department with a suspect of traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury, referred for an urgent head CT, underwent US ONSD measurement. A US ONSD ≥5.5 mm was considered positive. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios were calculated for three ONSD cut-offs: 5.5 (primary outcome), 5.0, and 6.0 mm. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was also generated and the area under the ROC curve calculated. Ninetynine patients were enrolled. The CT was positive in 15% of cases and the US ONSD was positive in all of these, achieving a sensitivity of 100% [95% confidence interval (CI) 78; 100] and a negative predictive value of 100% (95% CI 79; 100). The CT was negative in 85% of cases, while the US ONSD was positive in 69% of these, achieving a specificity of 19% (95% CI 11; 29) and a positive predictive value of 18% (95% CI 11; 28). The US ONSD, with a 5.5 mm cut-off, might safely be used to rule out EICP in patients with traumatic and non-traumatic brain injury in the ED. In limited-resources contexts, a negative US ONSD could allow emergency physicians to rule out EICP in low-risk patients, deferring the head CT.","PeriodicalId":51984,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Care Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135998723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, a qualitative study was carried out to learn about the experience of the officers during the intervention, their willingness to act in similar emergencies, as well as to gather information about their training and knowledge of basic life support.

More than 80% injury-related deaths occurred in low-middle income countries (LMICs). Despite its importance, emergency care accessibility for road crash victims is still questionable. This study aims to review emergency care accessibility from approachability, acceptability, availability, affordability, and appropriateness dimensions for crash victims. This is a scoping review with literatures extracted from ScienceDirect, ProQuest, and Scopus. Articles analyzed using PCC (Problem/Population, Concept, Context) of scoping review. 1544 articles identified from databases of which 81 are relevant for full-text screening. The final 12 articles were eligible to be reviewed. Although emergency care is available in most areas, its existence was not well-known. Victims and helpers are treated unfairly in emergency care. Emergency care system also lacks clear coordination and it does not give appropriate treatment in timely manner. There was little evidence of how accessible emergency care to crash victims. Most studies only examined the availability of emergency care without comparing its actual utilization and other determinants impacting its accessibility. Future study should aim to assess approachability, acceptability, affordability, and appropriateness of emergency care. Strengthening emergency care from all dimensions is important to ensure its accessibility.","PeriodicalId":51984,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Care Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44885313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of outpatient visits, inpatient admissions, sociodemographic factors were analyzed. We assessed the sample within two periods - the “quarantine period” (March 30 - June 9, 2020) and “control period” (March 30 - June 9, 2019). Psychiatric visits decreased in older, retired and disabled persons, and increased among the unemployed. In multivariate analysis, the reduction became significant for the number of inpatient admissions. Telemedicine calls gradually increased from the start of the service, but decreased towards the end of the quarantine. In conclusion, referrals to outpatient and inpatient psychiatric services decreased during the quarantine period, with newly established TMS potentially compensating for that decrease.
