Making Space to Save Lives: A Critical Role for the Hospitalist During Mass Casualty Incidents.
Disaster Med Public Health Prep
August 2022
Objective: An effective hospital response to mass casualty incidents (MCIs) requires rapid mobilization of personnel capable of caring for critically ill trauma patients and availability of resuscitation resources.
Methods: Hospitals facing an MCI wrestle with the challenge of immediately adjusting their overextended clinical operations to resuscitate a large number of rapidly arriving patients without compromising the care of existing patients.
Results: Hospitalists are well positioned to add significant value by off-loading the emergency department (ED) given their broad clinical expertise.
Background: It is not known whether delivering inpatient care earlier to patients boarding in the emergency department (ED) by a hospitalist-led team can decrease length of stay (LOS).
Objective: To study the association between care provided by a hospital medicine ED Boarder (EDB) service and LOS.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Retrospective cross-sectional study (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018) conducted at a single, large, urban academic medical center.
Objective: To conduct a systematic review of published cardiac risk indices relevant to patients undergoing noncardiac surgery and to provide clinically meaningful recommendations to physicians regarding the use of these indices.
Methods: A literature search of articles published from January 1, 1999, through December 28, 2018, was conducted in Ovid (MEDLINE), PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Publications describing models predicting risk of cardiac complications after noncardiac surgery were included and citation chaining was used to identify additional studies for inclusion.
