Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for pain relief after cesarean sections to determine their effectiveness, side effects, and overall quality of recovery.* -
- The researchers reviewed 47 trials with about 1,228 patients, finding that nonselective NSAIDs like diclofenac and indomethacin performed better for pain management compared to selective ones like celecoxib.* -
- The results indicate that while there are minimal differences between the NSAIDs studied, nonselective options may offer better pain relief and quicker recovery compared to selective alternatives.*
Introduction: There is uncertainty about the best way to measure emergency department crowding. We have previously developed a consensus-based measure of crowding, the International Crowding Measure in Emergency Departments (ICMED). We aimed to obtain pilot data to evaluate the ability of a shortened form of the ICMED, the sICMED, to predict senior emergency department clinicians' concerns about crowding and danger compared with a very well-studied measure of emergency department crowding, the National Emergency Department Overcrowding Score (NEDOCS).
