Eligible subjects were children (90 days to 18 years) who were discharged from a pediatric ED and included in the pediatric health information system from October 2016 through March 2024. To evaluate for changes in the frequency and costs of respiratory viral testing, we performed an interrupted time series analysis across 3 study periods: prepandemic (October 1, 2016 to March 14, 2020), early pandemic (March 15, 2020 to December 31, 2023), and late pandemic (January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).RESULTSWe included 15,261,939 encounters from 34 pediatric EDs over the 90-month study period. At least 1 viral respiratory test was performed for 460,826 of 7,311,177 prepandemic encounters (6.3%), 1,240,807 of 5,100,796 early pandemic encounters (24.3%), and 545,696 of 2,849,966 late pandemic encounters (19.1%). There was a positive prepandemic slope in viral testing (0.17% encounters/month; 95% CI 0.17 to 0.18). The early pandemic was associated with a shift change of 4.98% (95% CI 4.90 to 5.07) and a positive slope (0.54% encounters/month; 95% CI 0.54 to 0.55). The late pandemic period was associated with a negative shift (-17.80%; 95% CI -17.90 to -17.70) and a positive slope (0.42% encounters/month; 95% CI 0.41 to 0.42). The slope in testing costs increased from $5,000/month (95% CI $4,200 to $5,700) to $33,000/month (95% CI $32,000 to $34,000) during the early pandemic.CONCLUSIONRespiratory testing and associated costs increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and were sustained despite decreasing incidence of disease. These findings highlight a need for further efforts to clarify indications for viral testing in the ED and efforts to reduce low-value testing.","PeriodicalId":8236,"journal":{"name":"Annals of emergency medicine","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142451860","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}

The primary objective of the current investigation was to evaluate the clinical influence and safety of focused, point-of-care TEE in critically ill patients. Data elements included patient and procedure characteristics, laboratory values, timing of interventions, clinical outcomes, and TEE video images.RESULTSA total of 1,045 focused TEE studies were collected among 916 patients from 28 hospitals, including 585 (64%) intraarrest and postarrest OHCA and inhospital cardiac arrest, 267 (29%) initial evaluation of undifferentiated shock, 101 (11%) procedural guidance, and 92 (10%) hemodynamic monitoring. TEE changed management in 85% of patients with undifferentiated shock, 71% of patients with inhospital cardiac arrest, and 62% of patients with OHCA. There were no reported esophageal perforations or oropharyngeal injuries, and other procedural complications were rare.CONCLUSIONSA prospective, multicenter, and multidisciplinary TEE registry was successfully implemented, and demonstrated that focused TEE is safe and clinically impactful across multiple critical care applications. Further studies from this research network will accelerate the development of outcome-oriented research and knowledge translation on the use of TEE in emergency and critical care settings.","PeriodicalId":8236,"journal":{"name":"Annals of emergency medicine","volume":"104 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142443766","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}
