Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of a vertigo protocol used in the emergency department to differentiate between various types of vertigo and guide treatment for acute vestibular syndrome.
- - A total of 97 patients, mostly around 61 years old, were analyzed, with diagnoses split into peripheral (27%), central (34%), and other (39%) origins, including stroke cases within the central category.
- - The protocol effectively identified the source of vertigo, minimizing unnecessary imaging tests, and was mainly activated due to disagreements noted by ENT specialists during clinical evaluations.
