Background: Emergency department (ED) crowding is a major patient safety concern and has a negative impact on healthcare systems and healthcare providers. We hypothesized that it would be feasible to control crowding by employing a multifaceted approach consisting of systematically fast-tracking patients who are mostly not in need of a hospital stay as assessed by an initial nurse and treated by decision competent physicians.
Methods: Data from 120,901 patients registered in a secondary care ED from the 4t quarter of 2021 to the 1st quarter of 2024 was drawn from the electronic health record's data warehouse using the SAP Web Intelligence tool and processed in the Python programming language.
Carbon-carbon bond formation in the phenanthridine 7-position was achieved by microwave-assisted Claisen rearrangement of 8-allyloxyphenanthridines. The reactions took place with excellent regioselectivity and high chemical yields. If the 7-position was substituted, rearrangement to C-9 took place, but the reaction occurred less readily.

However, evidence-based guidelines for the management and treatment of P. aeruginosa infection in chronic, non-cystic fibrosis (CF) pulmonary disease are lacking.
