Rethinking shifts: shift length, diurnal variability, and long-term health risks for emergency medicine physicians.
Emergency physicians are experts in managing critical conditions in a fast-paced everchanging environment. They deliver continuous 24/7 care and are the entry point to the healthcare system for many patients. It is essential to have healthy, alert and skilled emergency physicians at all times of the day and yet they face the physical and mental challenges of shift work. This article aims to explore the current literature on emergency department (ED) shiftwork, the mental well-being and physical implications of shift work and offer strategies to mitigate its detrimental effects on emergency physicians.
期刊介绍:
Internal and Emergency Medicine (IEM) is an independent, international, English-language, peer-reviewed journal designed for internists and emergency physicians. IEM publishes a variety of manuscript types including Original investigations, Review articles, Letters to the Editor, Editorials and Commentaries. Occasionally IEM accepts unsolicited Reviews, Commentaries or Editorials. The journal is divided into three sections, i.e., Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Clinical Evidence and Health Technology Assessment, with three separate editorial boards. In the Internal Medicine section, invited Case records and Physical examinations, devoted to underlining the role of a clinical approach in selected clinical cases, are also published. The Emergency Medicine section will include a Morbidity and Mortality Report and an Airway Forum concerning the management of difficult airway problems. As far as Critical Care is becoming an integral part of Emergency Medicine, a new sub-section will report the literature that concerns the interface not only for the care of the critical patient in the Emergency Department, but also in the Intensive Care Unit. Finally, in the Clinical Evidence and Health Technology Assessment section brief discussions of topics of evidence-based medicine (Cochrane’s corner) and Research updates are published. IEM encourages letters of rebuttal and criticism of published articles. Topics of interest include all subjects that relate to the science and practice of Internal and Emergency Medicine.
