Workforce Attrition Among Emergency Medicine Non-Physician Practitioners.

Ann Emerg Med

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT; Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.

Study Objective: Non-physician practitioners, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants, increasingly practice in emergency departments, especially in rural areas, where they help mitigate physician shortages. However, little is known about non-physician practitioner durability and demographic trends in emergency departments. Our objective was to examine attrition rates and ages among non-physician practitioners in emergency medicine.

ECG Patterns of Occlusion Myocardial Infarction: A Narrative Review.

Ann Emerg Med

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN; Department of Emergency Medicine, Hennepin Healthcare, Minneapolis, MN.

The traditional management of acute coronary syndrome has relied on the identification of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as a proxy of acute coronary occlusion. This conflation of STEMI with acute coronary occlusion has historically overshadowed non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), despite evidence suggesting 25% to 34% of NSTEMI cases may also include acute coronary occlusion. Current limitations in the STEMI/NSTEMI binary framework underscore the need for a revised approach to chest pain and acute coronary syndrome management.

Study Objective: We use national emergency department (ED) data to identify the proportion of "telehealth-able" ED visits, defined as potentially conductible by Video Only or Video Plus (with limited outpatient testing).

Methods: We used ED visits by patients 4 years of age and older from the 2019 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and applied survey weighting for national representativeness. Two raters categorized patient-described Reasons for Visit (RFV) as telehealth-able (yes, no, uncertain) for both Video Only and Video Plus visits.

Anti-Amyloid Therapies for Alzheimer's Disease and Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities: Implications for the Emergency Medicine Clinician.

Ann Emerg Med

January 2025

Departments of Emergency Medicine & Population Health, New York University Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY; Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center, James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Bronx, NY.

Alzheimer's disease is the neurodegenerative disorder responsible for approximately 60% to 70% of all cases of dementia and is expected to affect 152 million by 2050. Recently, anti-amyloid therapies have been developed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration as disease-modifying treatments given as infusions every 2 to 5 weeks for Alzheimer's disease. Although this is an important milestone in mitigating Alzheimer's disease progression, it is critical for emergency medicine clinicians to understand what anti-amyloid therapies are and how they work to recognize, treat, and mitigate their adverse effects.
