Article Synopsis
- - The eACS (enhanced acute care surgery) model aims to minimize COVID-19 transmission among healthcare workers and patients while maintaining round-the-clock emergency services for surgical and trauma cases, unlike standard ACS which faced challenges during the pandemic.
- - Implementing the eACS model resulted in no COVID-19 infections among staff or patients and improved efficiency metrics, including shorter hospital stays and quicker discharge times, saving the healthcare organization resources.
- - Feedback from staff showed overall approval of the eACS changes, highlighting enhanced safety measures and suggesting the model could support mental well-being for healthcare professionals amidst ongoing challenges.
Introduction: Pediatric road traffic injuries remain a significant cause of death and disability in many countries in Asia, despite the implementation of road traffic safety laws. We aim to describe the injuries, the use of restraints among road users, and risk factors associated with severe injuries for children in Singapore.
Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of road traffic injuries presenting to the only two pediatric tertiary care hospitals in Singapore, from January 2012 to April 2016.
Objective: To study the causes of head injuries among the paediatric population in Singapore, and the association between causes and mortality, as well as the need for airway or neurosurgical intervention.
Design: This is a prospective observational study utilising data from the trauma surveillance system from January 2011 to March 2015.
Setting: Paediatric emergency departments (EDs) of KK Women's and Children's Hospital and the National University Health System.
