Nevertheless, many aspects of treatment are still controversial, among these the approach to the administration of fluids and vasopressors. After the first clinical trial on Early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) was published, a liberal approach to the use of fluids and conservative use of vasopressors prevailed, but in recent years a more restrictive use of fluids and an earlier introduction of vasopressors seem to be preferred. Although both treatments are based on sound pathophysiological knowledge,  clinical evidence is still inadequate and somehow controversial.  In this non-systematic review, recent research on the hemodynamics of septic shock and its treatment with fluids and inotropes is discussed. As a conclusion, general indications are proposed for a practical approach to patients in septic shock.","PeriodicalId":51984,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Care Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48751758","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}

All the following data were collected at admission to the Emergency Department and processed by univariate and multivariate analysis: clinical and laboratory data, blood gas analysis in room air and lung ultrasound. \u0000Results: 33/52 subjects (63,4%) underwent NIMV. At univariate analysis PaCO2 was inversely associated to the need for NIMV (OR 0,82, CI 95% 0,689-0,976, p .025). At multivariate analysis PaCO2 predicted the need for NIMV independently from age, gender, number of comorbidities, d-dimer, CRP, PaO2 and LUS SCORE (OR 0,838, CI 95% 0,710-0,988, p .035). \u0000Conclusions: our data suggest that hypocapnia could be an early predictor of clinical worsening in these patients independently from other known predictors of unfavourable outcome, reflecting the occurrence of a deep and frequent respiratory pattern possibly related to the generation of excessive transpulmonary pressure swings leading to a self-induced lung injury (P-SILI). Further studies are needed for validating these data on greater populations.","PeriodicalId":51984,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Care Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44910060","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}

This study was attempted to explore the emergency department nurses' perception of caring for patients with intentional self-poisoning. The present qualitative study was performed using phenomenological method. This study was done on 14 emergency department nurses with experience in caring for patients with intentional self-poisoning. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Following data analysis, two themes and five sub-themes were extracted, which included being reluctant to provide care for patients with intentional self-poisoning (discomfort in providing care, and lack of desire to care for these patients) and comprehensive patient support (providing complete care and emotional support). Given that emergency department nurses are the first medical staff who face with intentional self-poisoning patients and play an important role in the care and treatment of these patients, it is necessary to improve their understanding of caring for these patients. In addition, their comprehensive support for these patients should be strengthened. Psychological support for nurses and training them on how to communicate with intentional self-poisoning patients and their families are also recommended.","PeriodicalId":51984,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Care Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47508316","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}

We compared the two territories for type of admission (voluntary vs. compulsory), the Stringency Index (SI) and the country’s number of admission in Intensive Care Units (ICU). We found a significant reduction in the psychiatric ward admission in the lockdown period in both territories, even in periods with milder lockdown measures. The admission rate’s reduction in the ASST Lariana was significantly associated with the ICU admissions (p<0.001). In the Hospital of Mendrisio, admissions included a weekly seasonality, were significantly correlated with SI (p=0.001) and period (pre-pandemic and pandemic; p<0.001) and we observed also a significant reduction of compulsory admission that is influenced both by the stringency index (p<0.001) and period (p<0.001).

It can be due to muscular issues or loss of proper innervation, but, also, to pulmonary hyperinflation or air trapping, such as in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). DD impacts on COPD induced dyspnea, determining its progressive worsening, but levosimendan, an inodilator better known as Ca2+ sensitizer, may limit this phenomenon and diaphragmatic ultrasound assessment can be useful in monitoring its effect. Here, we show the case of a 77-year-old woman admitted to the Emergency department for acute exacerbation of chronic dyspnea in COPD, related to right ventricular failure and DD, which did not respond to medical therapy and non-invasive mechanical ventilation but did experience a favorable outcome after intravenous administration of levosimendan.","PeriodicalId":51984,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Care Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45342169","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}
