  • An observational study of activities and multitasking performed by clinicians in two Swedish emergency departments
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine. - London : Chapman & Hall. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 19:4, s. 246-251
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objectives: To explore the type and frequency of activities and multitasking performed by emergency department clinicians.Methods: Eighteen clinicians (licensed practical nurses, registered nurses and medical doctors), six from each occupational group, at two Swedish emergency departments were followed in their clinical work for 2 h each to observe all their activities and multitasking practices. Data were analysed using qualitative and quantitative content analysis.Results: Fifteen categories of activities could be identified based on 1882 observed activities during the 36 h of observation. The most common activity was information exchange, which was most often performed face-to-face. This activity represented 42.1% of the total number of observed activities. Information exchange was also the most common activity to be multitasked. Registered nurses performed most activities and their activities were multitasked more than the other clinicians. The nurses’ and doctors’ offices were the most common locations for multitasking in the emergency department.Conclusion: This study provides new knowledge regarding the activities conducted by clinicians in the emergency department. The most frequent activity was information exchange, which was the activity most often performed by the clinicians when multitasking occurred. Differences between clinicians were found for activities performed and multitasked, with registered nurses showing the highest frequencies for both.

  • The possibility of influencing components of hospital delay time within emergency departments among patients with ST-elevation in the initial electrocardiogram.
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine : official journal of the European Society for Emergency Medicine. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Ltd.. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 5:3, s. 289-96
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of this study was to describe the possibility of influencing components of hospital delay time within the emergency department (ED) among patients with ST-elevation on the initial electrocardiogram (ECG). Nurses recorded seven patient time points: (1) ED admission; (2) ECG recording; (3) decision by nurse/ED physician; (4) cardiologist ED arrival; (5) decision of coronary care unit (CCU) admission; (6) ED departure; (7) CCU arrival. After special training in ECG, nurses in the ED were subsequently delegated to send patients directly to the CCU if showing ST-elevation on the admission ECG without contacting either the physician in ED or the cardiologist on call (intervention). Delay times between hospital admission and admission to the CCU were evaluated during the 9 months prior to and during the 6 months after the start of this intervention. Fifty patients (66% men) participated in the first study during 3 months (prior to intervention). Patients with suspected or confirmed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the ED had a median delay time from ED arrival to CCU arrival of 55.5 minutes (34.5 minutes for patients with confirmed AMI; ST elevation on admission). Time interval from decision to admit to CCU and ED departure was an average of 31% of the total delay. A mean of 21% of total delay occurred between ED decision to cardiologist arrival, and 19% during the time interval from cardiologist ED arrival until decision to CCU admission. Among patients receiving thrombolysis, the median delay time from hospital admission to CCU admission was reduced from 40 minutes during the 9 months prior to start of the intervention (nurses sending patients directly to the CCU) to 22 minutes during the 6 months thereafter (p = 0.02). The largest proportion of hospital delay components for acute coronary syndrome patients occurred between the cardiologist's decision to admit to the CCU and departure from the ED, and the interval following the decision by the nurse or physician to the cardiologist ED arrival. When nurses were delegated to transfer patients with ST-elevation on admission directly to the CCU without contacting a physician, the delay time from ED admission to CCU admission was reduced by nearly 50%.

  • Evaluation of dispatcher assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Ltd.. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 6:3, s. 175-183
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) initiated by dispatcher-provided telephone instructions (T-CPR) in the area of Gothenburg, Sweden was studied. During a period of 27 months, 475 cases categorized by the dispatchers at the Emergency Co-ordination and Dispatch Centre as being suspected CA were offered T-CPR and were included in one of the following groups: (1) T-CPR completed (caller without previous CPR training); (2) T-CPR completed (caller with previous CPR training); (3) T-CPR started, but not completed; (4) T-CPR declined by caller due to previous CPR training; (5) T-CPR declined by caller due to other reasons; or, (6) T-CPR not offered. Of the patients, 473 could be followed up and of them 427 fulfilled the criteria for CA on ambulance arrival. Among the latter cases, 10% were hospitalized alive, 4% could be discharged from hospital, and the distribution among groups was: (1) 7%; (2) 18%; (3) 5%; (4) 11%; (5) 3%; and (6) 1%. The study concludes that although more attention should be paid to the detection of CA patients by the dispatchers, when the dispatchers suspected CA, their accuracy was high. Half of the witnesses accepted the offer of T-CPR and one-third completed T-CPR. More efforts and research are needed, however, to increase the percentages of callers completing CPR. The impact of T-CPR on survival might be limited. Indeed, the comparison of 'resuscitable' patients in whom T-CPR played an important role in supporting bystanders (i.e. groups 1 and 2) with 'resuscitable' patients in whom T-CPR was not performed (i.e. groups 3, 5 and 6) suggests an increase in survival from 6% (groups 3, 5 and 6) to 9% (groups 1 and 2).

  • Comparison of the SALT and Smart triage systems using a virtual reality simulator with paramedic students
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 18:6, s. 314-321
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVES: Virtual reality systems may allow for organized study of mass casualty triage systems by allowing investigators to replicate the same mass casualty incident, with the same victims, for a large number of rescuers. The study objectives were to develop such a virtual reality system, and use it to assess the ability of trained paramedic students to triage simulated victims using two triage systems.METHODS: Investigators created 25 patient scenarios for a highway bus crash in a virtual reality simulation system. Paramedic students were trained to proficiency on the new 'Sort, Assess, Life saving interventions, Treat and Transport (SALT)' triage system, and 22 students ran the simulation, applying the SALT algorithm to each victim. After a 3-month washout period, the students were retrained on the 'Smart' triage system, and each student ran the same crash simulation using the Smart system. Data inputs were recorded by the simulation software and analyzed with the paired t-tests.RESULTS: The students had a mean triage accuracy of 70.0% with SALT versus 93.0% with Smart (P=0.0001). Mean overtriage was 6.8% with SALT versus 1.8% with Smart (P=0.0015), and mean undertriage was 23.2% with SALT versus 5.1% with Smart (P=0.0001). The average time for a student to triage the scene was 21 min 3 s for SALT versus 11 min 59 s for Smart (P=0.0001).CONCLUSION: The virtual reality platform seems to be a viable research tool for examining mass casualty triage. A small sample of trained paramedic students using the virtual reality system was able to triage simulated patients faster and with greater accuracy with 'Smart' triage than with 'SALT' triage.

  • Decreased general condition in the emergency department : high in-hospital mortality and a broad range of discharge diagnoses
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 22:4, s. 241-246
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Decreased general condition (DGC) is a frequent presenting complaint within the Adaptive Triage Process. DGC describes a nonspecific decline in health and well-being, and it is common among elderly patients in the emergency department (ED).AIM: The aim of this study was to compare the in-hospital mortality among patients presenting with DGC with that among patients in the corresponding triage category presenting with other complaints to an ED. The secondary aim was to describe the discharge diagnoses of patients presenting with DGC.METHODS: All patients admitted to Södersjukhuset from the ED in 2008 were included. The difference in the in-hospital mortality rate was stratified for triage category at the ED, between patients with DGC (n=1182) and those with all other presenting complaints (n=20 775), and assessed with sex-adjusted and age-adjusted logistic regression models. Discharge diagnoses were assessed as the primary discharge diagnosis according to International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th revision (ICD-10) in the medical discharge notes.RESULTS: A total of 1182 patients with DGC at the ED were admitted for in-hospital care, and they had a four-fold risk of suffering an in-hospital death [odds ratio 4.74 (95% confidence interval 3.88-5.78)] compared with patients presenting with other presenting complaints. The most common discharge diagnoses were diseases of the circulatory system (14%), respiratory system (14%), and genitourinary system (10%).INTERPRETATION: Patients presenting with DGC to an ED often receive low triage priority, frequently require admission for in-hospital care, and, because of the three-fold increased risk of in-hospital death compared with others, belong to a high-risk group.

  • The Swedish specialist examination in emergency medicine : form and function
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 24:1, s. 19-24
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • AIM/BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Swedish specialist examination in Emergency Medicine is not only to determine whether residents have attained the level of competence of specialists, but also to guide and facilitate residency training.METHODS: The Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine has developed checklists that delineate criteria of consideration and action items for particular processes. These checklists are freely available and used to assess competence during the examination. They are also intended for use during teaching and clinical care, thus promoting alignment between clinical practice, teaching and assessment. The examination is carried out locally by residency program educators, thereby obviating travel expenses. It consists of a total of 24 stations and over 100 potential scenarios, thereby minimizing case specificity. Each station consists of a scenario based on a real case. The checklists allow for direct feedback to the examinee after each station.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: This model may be of interest to other European countries.

  • Long-term mortality among patients discharged alive after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest does not differ markedly compared with that of myocardial infarct patients without out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
  • 2001
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Ltd.. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 8:4, s. 253-261
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of our research was to study the long-term prognosis among patients discharged alive after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in comparison with patients discharged alive after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) without OHCA, and also to study the long-term influence of AMI in connection with OHCA. Our research was conducted in the municipality of Göteborg. We retrospectively studied patients discharged from hospital 1990-91 after an OHCA of cardiac aetiology and patients discharged after an AMI without prehospital cardiac arrest. During 1980-98, we studied all patients discharged alive after OHCA of cardiac aetiology, divided into groups of precipitating AMI and no AMI. The study includes 48 patients discharged alive after an OHCA 1990-91, 30 (62%) of whom had a simultaneous AMI and 1425 patients with an AMI without OHCA. Compared with AMI survivors, survivors of an OHCA of cardiac origin were younger but had more frequently a history of congestive heart failure. Their mortality rate during the subsequent 5 years was 46%, compared with 40% among survivors of an AMI (NS). The 5-year mortality rate among patients with an OHCA precipitated by an AMI was 40%. When correcting for differences at baseline, the adjusted risk ratio for death among patients with an OHCA of cardiac origin was 1.2 (95% CI 0.8-1.8) compared with patients with an uncomplicated AMI. During 1980-98, 215 patients were judged as having an OHCA precipitated by an AMI and 115 patients had an OHCA of cardiac aetiology but no simultaneous AMI. Five-year mortality was 54% and 50% respectively (NS). It is concluded that survivors of an OHCA of cardiac origin differed from survivors of an uncomplicated AMI in that they were younger and more frequently had a history of cardiovascular disease. Their 5-year mortality after discharge was similar to that of survivors of an AMI without a prehospital cardiac arrest, even after adjusting for differences at baseline.

  • Nonspecific abdominal pain in the Emergency Department : malignancy incidence in a nationwide Swedish cohort study
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: European journal of emergency medicine. - : Copyright Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. - 0969-9546 .- 1473-5695. ; 25:2, s. 105-109
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • INTRODUCTIONThe role of emergency physicians is to identify patients in need of immediate treatment, but also to identify symptoms indicative of serious, if not immediately life-threatening conditions. AIMTo assess whether symptoms described as nonspecific abdominal pain (NSAP) could be the first indication of an abdominal malignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis was a nationwide registry-based cohort study of all patients discharged with NSAP from Swedish Emergency Departments (EDs) during the year 2011, based on Swedish patient registries of inpatient and outpatient care, and the cause of death registry, studying patients diagnosed with de novo cancer within a year after their NSAP discharge. RESULTSOf 24 801 patients discharged with NSAP in 2011, 2.2% were assigned a cancer diagnosis within 12 months. Almost 20% of patients diagnosed with a malignancy died within the year, and 16% of these deaths occurred within a month after the ED visit. The majority of patients with cancer were 60 years of age or older, and thus significantly older than the remaining NSAP patients. Patients with malignancies also had a greater number of comorbidities than the remaining NSAP patients (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONA small percentage of patients discharged with NSAP from Swedish EDs are diagnosed with a malignancy within a year. Patients aged 60 years or older and with comorbidities were over-represented in terms of developing malignancies after discharge. Emergency physicians should be aware of the fact that diffuse abdominal symptoms in elderly patients could be the first sign of an underlying malignancy and more liberally refer such patients for follow-up in primary care.
