Background: Burnout is a common issue among physicians, and the rate among emergency medicine physicians (EPs) appears to be higher than those of other medical specialties. The COVID-19 pandemic presents unprecedented challenges to the medical community worldwide, but its effects on EP burnout has not yet been determined.
Methods: We conducted a three-stage nationwide study between July 2019 and June 2021.
Background: Amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level is useful to diagnose or exclude acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in dyspnoeic patients presenting to the emergency department (ED).
Aim: To evaluate the impact of ED NT-proBNP testing on admission, length of stay (LOS), discharge diagnosis and long-term outcome.
Methods: Dyspnoeic patients were randomized in the ED to NT-proBNP testing.
Background: Medication errors are a common cause of iatrogenic adverse drug events. The incidence and nature of medication errors during prehospital treatment have not been fully described.
Objectives: The objectives of this study are to describe the incidence and characteristics of medication errors in adults during prehospital emergency treatment and in the emergency department (ED) and to identify risk factors for medication errors in those settings.
Background: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications in these patients. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are an effective treatment for hypertension in patients with ESRD and are known to improve prognosis in patients with chronic renal failure.
