Description
An account of the resource
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Older adults with syncope are commonly treated in the emergency department (ED). We seek to derive a novel risk-stratification tool to predict 30-day serious cardiac outcomes. METHODS: We performed a prospective, observational study of older adults (≥60 years) with unexplained syncope or near syncope who presented to 11 EDs in the United States. Patients with a serious diagnosis identified in the ED were excluded. We collected clinical and laboratory data on all patients. Our primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality or serious cardiac outcome. RESULTS: We enrolled 3,177 older adults with unexplained syncope or near syncope between April 2013 and September 2016. Mean age was 73 years (SD 9.0 years). The incidence of the primary outcome was 5.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.9% to 6.5%). Using Bayesian logistic regression, we derived the FAINT score: history of heart failure, history of cardiac arrhythmia, initial abnormal ECG result, elevated pro B-type natriuretic peptide, and elevated high-sensitivity troponin T. A FAINT score of 0 versus greater than or equal to 1 had sensitivity of 96.7% (95% CI 92.9% to 98.8%) and specificity 22.2% (95% CI 20.7% to 23.8%), respectively. The FAINT score tended to be more accurate than unstructured physician judgment: area under the curve 0.704 (95% CI 0.669 to 0.739) versus 0.630 (95% CI 0.589 to 0.670). CONCLUSION: Among older adults with syncope or near syncope of potential cardiac cause, a FAINT score of zero had a reasonably high sensitivity for excluding death and serious cardiac outcomes at 30 days. If externally validated, this tool could improve resource use for this common condition.

Description
An account of the resource
Study objective: In 2003, the Institute of Medicine Committee on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System convened and identified a crisis in emergency care in the United States, including a need to enhance the research base for emergency care. As a result, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) formed an NIH Task Force on Research in Emergency Medicine to enhance NIH support for emergency care research. Members of the NIH Task Force and academic leaders in emergency care participated in 3 roundtable discussions to prioritize current opportunities for enhancing and conducting emergency care research. The objectives of these discussions were to identify key research questions essential to advancing the scientific underpinnings of emergency care and to discuss the barriers and best means to advance research by exploring the role of research networks and collaboration between the NIH and the emergency care community. Methods: The Medical-Surgical Research Roundtable was convened on April 30 to May 1, 2009. Before the roundtable, the emergency care domains to be discussed were selected and experts in each of the fields were invited to participate in the roundtable. Domain experts were asked to identify research priorities and challenges and separate them into mechanistic, translational, and clinical categories. After the conference, the lists were circulated among the participants and revised to reach a consensus. Results: Emergency care research is characterized by focus on the timing, sequence, and time sensitivity of disease processes and treatment effects. Rapidly identifying the phenotype and genotype of patients manifesting a specific disease process and the mechanistic reasons for heterogeneity in outcome are important challenges in emergency care research. Other research priorities include the need to elucidate the timing, sequence, and duration of causal molecular and cellular events involved in time-critical illnesses and injuries, and the development of treatments capable of halting or reversing them; the need for novel animal models; and the need to understand why there are regional differences in outcome for the same disease processes. Important barriers to emergency care research include a limited number of trained investigators and experienced mentors, limited research infrastructure and support, and regulatory hurdles. The science of emergency care may be advanced by facilitating the following: (1) training emergency care investigators with research training programs; (2) developing emergency care clinical research networks; (3) integrating emergency care research into Clinical and Translational Science Awards; (4) developing emergency-care specific initiatives within the existing structure of NIH institutes and centers; (5) involving emergency specialists in grant review and research advisory processes; (6) supporting learn-phase or small, clinical trials; and (7) performing research to address ethical and regulatory issues. Conclusion: Enhancing the research base supporting the care of medical and surgical emergencies will require progress in specific mechanistic, translational, and clinical domains; effective collaboration of academic investigators across traditional clinical and scientific boundaries; federal support of research in high-priority areas; and overcoming limitations in available infrastructure, research training, and access to patient populations.

Description
An account of the resource
Emergency physicians often must make critical, time-sensitive decisions with a paucity of information with the realization that additional unavailable health information may exist. Health information exchange enables clinician access to patient health information from multiple sources across the spectrum of care. This can provide a more complete longitudinal record, which more accurately reflects the way most patients obtain care: across multiple providers and provider organizations. This information article explores various aspects of health information exchange that are relevant to emergency medicine and offers guidance to emergency physicians and to organized medicine for the use and promotion of this, emerging technology. This article makes 5-primary emergency medicine-focused recommendations, as well as 7 additional secondary generalized recommendations, to health information exchanges, policymakers, and professional groups, which are crafted to facilitate health information exchange's purpose and demonstrate its value.

Description
An account of the resource
Study objective: The prevalence of pulmonary embolism among patients with syncope is understudied. In accordance with a recent study with an exceptionally high pulmonary embolism prevalence, some advocate evaluating all syncope patients for pulmonary embolism, including those with another clear cause for their syncope. We seek to evaluate the pulmonary embolism prevalence among emergency department (ED) patients with syncope. Methods: We combined data from 2 large prospective studies enrolling adults with syncope from 17 EDs in Canada and the United States. Each study collected the results of pulmonary embolism-related investigations (ie, D-dimer, ventilation-perfusion scan, or computed tomography [CT] pulmonary angiography) and 30-day adjudicated outcomes: pulmonary embolism or nonpulmonary embolism outcome (arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, serious hemorrhage, and death). Results: Of the 9,374 patients enrolled, 9,091 (97.0%; median age 66 years, 51.9% women) with 30-day follow-up were analyzed: 547 (6.0%) were evaluated for pulmonary embolism (278 [3.1%] had D-dimer, 39 [0.4%] had ventilation-perfusion scan, and 347 [3.8%] had CT pulmonary angiography). Overall, 874 patients (9.6%) experienced 30-day serious outcomes: 818 patients (9.0%) with nonpulmonary embolism serious outcomes and 56 (prevalence 0.6%; 95% confidence interval 0.5% to 0.8%) with pulmonary embolism (including 8 [0.2%] out of 3521 patients diagnosed during the index hospitalization and 7 [0.1%] diagnosed after the index visit). Eighty-six patients (0.9%) died, and 4 deaths (0.04%) were related to pulmonary embolism. Only 11 patients (0.1%) with a nonpulmonary embolism serious condition had a concomitant pulmonary embolism. Conclusion: The prevalence of pulmonary embolism is very low among ED patients with syncope, including those hospitalized after syncope. Although an underlying pulmonary embolism may cause syncope, clinicians should be cautious about indiscriminate investigations for pulmonary embolism.

Description
An account of the resource
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Many adults with syncope are hospitalized solely for observation and testing. We seek to determine whether hospitalization versus outpatient management for older adults with unexplained syncope is associated with a reduction in postdisposition serious adverse events at 30 days. METHODS: We performed a propensity score analysis using data from a prospective, observational study of older adults with unexplained syncope or near syncope who presented to 11 emergency departments (EDs) in the United States. We enrolled adults (≥60 years) who presented with syncope or near syncope. We excluded patients with a serious diagnosis identified in the ED. Clinical and laboratory data were collected on all patients. The primary outcome was rate of post-ED serious adverse events at 30 days. RESULTS: We enrolled 2,492 older adults with syncope and no serious ED diagnosis from April 2013 to September 2016. Mean age was 73 years (SD 8.9 years), and 51% were women. The incidence of serious adverse events within 30 days after the index visit was 7.4% for hospitalized patients and 3.19% for discharged patients, representing an unadjusted difference of 4.2% (95% confidence interval 2.38% to 6.02%). After propensity score matching on risk of hospitalization, there was no statistically significant difference in serious adverse events at 30 days between the hospitalized group (4.89%) and the discharged group (2.82%) (risk difference 2.07%; 95% confidence interval -0.24% to 4.38%). CONCLUSION: In our propensity-matched sample of older adults with unexplained syncope, for those with clinical characteristics similar to that of the discharged cohort, hospitalization was not associated with improvement in 30-day serious adverse event rates.

Description
An account of the resource
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Controversy remains in regard to the risk of adverse events for patients presenting with syncope compared with near-syncope. The purpose of our study is to describe the difference in outcomes between these groups in a large multicenter cohort of older emergency department (ED) patients. METHODS: From April 28, 2013, to September 21, 2016, we conducted a prospective, observational study across 11 EDs in adults (>/=60 years) with syncope or near-syncope. A standardized data extraction tool was used to collect information during their index visit and at 30-day follow-up. Our primary outcome was the incidence of

Ilionguinal-iliohypogastric nerve entrapment was described as early as 1942 as a rare but proven cause of chronic inguinal pain in patients with previous lower abdominal surgery. We describe two cases of patients who presented to the emergency care unit with complaints of chronic lower abdominal pain. Surgical histories revealed known risk factors for ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve entrapment. After application of a simple bedside procedure, the diagnoses were confirmed.

Description
An account of the resource
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Previous reports have emphasized that thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction should be initiated within three or four hours of symptom onset to obtain the best clinical outcomes. However, our clinical impression was that late arrivers, who often do not receive thrombolytic therapy, have a good short-term prognosis. Therefore, we investigated the relationships among the elapsed time from symptom onset, thrombolytic therapy, and short-term prognosis in acute myocardial infarction patients. The research hypothesis was that late arrivers have a better in-hospital prognosis because they have less severe disease that may involve spontaneous thrombolysis. DESIGN: Observational cohort study based on reviewing medical records and emergency department service logs. SETTING: 500-bed teaching hospital with medical school affiliation in northeastern Ohio. TYPE OF PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred consecutive patients with acute infarction confirmed by chest pain and positive ECGs or elevated cardiac enzymes. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Patients arriving early (elapsed time less than or equal to 1.5 hours) were more likely to be in Killip class III or IV (P = .04) or to have hypotension (P = .0004); and they experienced twofold increased odds of ventricular tachycardia (P = .007), cardiac arrest (P = .03), or death (P = .01). Patients arriving late (elapsed time greater than 3.5 hours) were more likely to have a history of angina (P = .002) and had a better short-term prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Time of ED arrival after onset of acute myocardial infarction symptoms distinguishes two patient groups that differ in their risk of in-hospital complications. Late arrivers have better short-term prognoses and less (acutely) severe disease, and may have less need for thrombolytic therapy because of possible spontaneous thrombolysis. Patients with prior angina may need education on seeking care if their symptoms change.

Description
An account of the resource
As the number of elderly persons in the United States continues to increase, geriatric abuse has become the most recent manifestation of domestic violence seen in the emergency department. Recent data suggest that 1 million elderly persons are battered, neglected, or exploited each year by family members or caretakers. This maltreatment may be more difficult to identify than child or spouse abuse because of the relative isolation of the victims and their reluctance to report abuse. Many of these cases involve only subtle signs and have a great potential to pass undetected. We summarize the current literature on geriatric abuse and describe an ED protocol for identifying and reporting suspected victims. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 36 elderly patients hospitalized with documented abuse or neglect. Physical maltreatment was evident in 29 patients (80%), and 16 of the cases (44%) involved psychological abuse. Key points in the history, physical examination, and psychosocial evaluation were analyzed to identify specific criteria used in the development of the protocol. This framework will aid the emergency physician in the crucial first steps of identifying abuse, obtaining evidence, and providing immediate treatment and crisis intervention. Awareness that the problem exists and improved detection and intervention procedures are needed to prevent abuse of elderly persons from becoming more widespread.

Description
An account of the resource
Continuous measurement of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) using pulse oximetry has become a common monitoring and management technique in critically ill hospitalized patients. To determine the impact of SaO2 monitoring on emergency patient management, we conducted a prospective uncontrolled clinical trial on 40 adult patients presenting to the emergency department with acute respiratory illness, such as emphysema, asthma, or pulmonary edema. Recorded data included hemograms, arterial blood gases, subsequent therapy, and response to treatment. Additionally, the "early warning" capability of SaO2 monitoring was analyzed by recording the severity and outcome of hypoxemic events during treatment. Mean duration of usage for the 40 oximeters in the ED was 1.8 hours; all probes functioned reliably over a wide range of systolic pressures (80 to 206 mm Hg), heart rates (40 to 180 beats per minute), and hematocrits (20% to 58%). There was good correlation between simultaneous pulse oximeter values and both directly measured SaO2 (r = 0.95) and saturations derived from measured arterial PaO2 (r = 0.94). The device detected several otherwise unrecognized drops in arterial saturation that were confirmed by laboratory analysis. Other clinical situations in which the pulse oximeter was found useful in the ED are reviewed. We conclude that continuous measurement of SaO2 can improve the monitoring of ED patients, increase the precision of therapy, detect hypoxemia during intubation, suctioning, and other treatments, and detect clinically unsuspected changes in arterial oxygenation.

An account of the resource
The streptococcal toxic shocklike syndrome is a recently recognized, multisystem disorder that shares many of the features of staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome, but is caused by toxins elaborated by group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. We describe a patient who fulfilled the major criteria for the clinical diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome (fever, hypotension, multisystem dysfunction, and diffuse macular erythroderma followed by desquamation) and who demonstrated serologic evidence suggesting streptococcal infection. In patients presenting with clinical findings consistent with a toxic shocklike syndrome, the emergency physician should consider streptococcal infection as a potential etiology.

Description
An account of the resource
The medical records of 109 patients who presented to the emergency department during a five-year period with proven nontraumatic, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities used, and accuracy of diagnosis by emergency physicians were analyzed. The most common historical features were headache (81 patients, or 74%), nausea or vomiting (85 patients, or 77%), and loss of consciousness (58 patients, or 53%). Nonexertional activities preceding SAH were more frequent than exertional events (57% vs 21%). Neurologic findings were present in 70 patients (64%) and consisted primarily of altered levels of consciousness. Thirty-eight patients (35%) had nuchal rigidity. Ninety-six emergency cranial computed tomography scans were performed, of which 91 were diagnostic for SAH (sensitivity, 95%). Lumbar puncture was performed on two patients with normal computed tomography scans and revealed bloody spinal fluid. The overall diagnostic accuracy by emergency physicians was 85%. The correct diagnosis was delayed in 16 patients (15%), the majority of whom had headaches and normal neurologic examinations. Atypical symptoms, the warning leak syndrome, and the need for prompt diagnosis and therapy are reviewed.

Description
An account of the resource
Hyperacute T waves (HATWs) have been described as tall-amplitude, primary T-wave abnormalities sometimes seen in the early phases of transmural myocardial infarction. Despite numerous human and animal studies addressing the presence and significance of HATWs, there are no widely held, reliable ECG criteria for their accurate identification. Using a specially designed computer program on a Hewlett-Packard Realm ECG analysis system, we screened 13,393 adult ECGs to identify those having T-wave amplitudes greater than accepted standards (limb leads, greater than 0.5 mV; precordial leads, greater than 1.0 mV). Patients with other known causes of primary and secondary tall T waves were excluded from the study sample. Patients with tall-amplitude T-waves who then developed clinically verifiable myocardial infarction were labeled the HATW group. The HATW group (21) represented 4.1% of the tall T wave group (513) and 0.16% of the entire sample. The remaining patients, who did not meet HATW criteria, were called the early repolarization variant (ERV) group (51). Both groups underwent comparative computer morphology analysis. Nine parameters were statistically significant in discriminating HATWs from early repolarization variants. A combination of J-point position/T-wave amplitude of more than 25%, T-wave amplitude/QRS amplitude of more than 75%, J-point position of more than 0.30 mV, and age of more than 45 years predicted HATWs from a control group with a specificity of 98.0% and a sensitivity of 61.9% and with positive and negative predictive values of 92.9% and 86.2%, respectively. We conclude that HATWs have characterizable discriminating ECG morphology as determined by computer ECG analysis compared with a control group.

Description
An account of the resource
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Glucagon is a rapid-acting smooth muscle relaxant with a short half-life. Previous studies suggested glucagon may have bronchodilator effects. We sought to determine whether intravenous glucagon produces clinically important immediate bronchodilation in emergency department patients with asthma exacerbation. METHODS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study at 2 university-affiliated community teaching hospital EDs (annual census 90,000). ED patients 18 to 50 years old with asthma exacerbation and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) less than 350 L/min were eligible. Exclusion criteria were need for intubation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, insulinoma, pheochromocytoma, pregnancy, lactation, or current oral steroid treatment. Patients were randomly assigned to receive glucagon 0.03 mg/kg or an equivalent volume of saline solution intravenously. At 10 minutes, PEFR was measured and all patients began standardized albuterol therapy. Successful bronchodilation was a PEFR increase of 60 L/min at 10 minutes. RESULTS: Success occurred in 2 (9.5%) of 21 glucagon-treated patients and 3 (12%) of 25 placebo-treated patients (95% confidence interval [CI] for difference of -2.5% [-20.4% to 15. 4%]). Mean PEFR improvement for glucagon was 2 L/min versus 9 L/min for placebo (95% CI for difference of -7 L/min [-36 L/min to 23 L/min]). CONCLUSION: Glucagon alone provided no clinically important immediate bronchodilation in ED patients with asthma exacerbation.

An account of the resource
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To determine the feasibility of a case-finding program for cognitive impairment in elderly emergency department patients, and to describe the prevalence of cognitive impairment in screened patients and identify factors associated with impairment. DESIGN: A three-month cross-sectional study. The six-item Orientation-Memory-Concentration (OMC) Test was administered to eligible patients. SETTING: Community teaching hospital with annual ED census of 69,000 adults. PARTICIPANTS: All patients 65 years of age and older physically able to communicate and without a prior diagnosis of dementia were eligible. Five hundred forty-seven of 958 patients (59%) were interviewed; only 95 (10%) refused. Other reasons for exclusion were too ill, 113 (12%); other (sleeping, privacy, repeat visits, incomplete forms), 99 (10%); known dementia, 59 (6%); and communication problems, 45 (5%). RESULTS: A mean time of 1.9 minutes (+/- 0.91 SD) was required to complete the test. One hundred eighty-three of 547 patients (33.5%) had scores that indicated at least moderate cognitive impairment. Logistic regression analyses identified two factors associated with impairment: age of more than 80 years (odds ratio, 3.68; 95% confidence interval, 2.21-6.14) and residence in a nursing home (odds ratio, 13.8; 95% confidence interval, 3.79-50.2). CONCLUSION: Screening for cognitive impairment in elderly ED patients using the OMC Test is feasible. There is a high prevalence of cognitive impairment in elderly ED patients, and the prevalence increases with age. Identification of cognitive impairment is important in the assessment of elderly ED patients and may affect clinical evaluation, patients' understanding of medical information, and compliance with discharge instructions.

An account of the resource
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To sample the practice styles of emergency physicians caring for acute traumatic wounds. DESIGN: Written survey. SETTING: US emergency departments obtained from the American College of Emergency Physicians mailing list. SUBJECTS: Randomly selected ACEP members. MAIN RESULTS: One hundred fifty-one of 285 (53%) survey mailings were returned. Eighty-six percent of respondents were primarily clinicians, and the majority (61.6%) worked in EDs with annual patient visits between 21,000 and 50,000. The majority of respondents (64.2%) were certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. Nineteen percent managed wounds based on provider preference despite the existence of written wound management protocols. We identified a variety of practices that are contrary to current literature and textbook recommendations. Fifty-eight (38%) soaked wounds, whereas 21% used either 10% povidone iodine or hydrogen peroxide to cleanse wounds. One hundred one (67%) scrubbed the entire wound surface using, among other methods, cotton gauze (59%) or a coarse, bristle-laden sponge (38%). Forty (27%) irrigated wounds using techniques that have not been proven to deliver the 5 to 8 psi necessary for adequate tissue cleansing. Delayed primary closure, a treatment option for lacerations at increased risk for infection, was infrequently or never practiced by 76% of respondents. All respondents administered IV antimicrobials at least occasionally for simple outpatient lacerations. CONCLUSION: Methods of preparing, treating, and following outpatient wounds vary among emergency physicians, and these results support the idea that no de facto standard of care exists for this clinical problem. Outpatient wound care techniques routinely practiced (ie, soaking, scrubbing, use of full-strength hydrogen peroxide or full-strength povidone iodine) may be harmful based on limited animal and human research, whereas other proven techniques (ie, delayed primary closure) are infrequently practiced by many emergency physicians.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate paramedics' ability to identify elderly at risk and refer them for assessment and service. DESIGN: A prospective nonrandomized open trial. SETTING: Akron, Ohio, a midsize city with a well-developed advanced life support emergency medical services system. TYPE OF PARTICIPANTS: One hundred thirty firefighter paramedics evaluated 6,000 elderly patients. Assessments were performed by trained geriatric assessors. INTERVENTION: Regardless of the reason for the call, paramedics screened all emergency medical services users age 60 and older for medical, mental health, social, and environmental problems. Identified cases were referred to the Area Agency on Aging for assessment and follow-up. MAIN RESULTS: Paramedics identified 197 people with possible problems, 124 of whom received an assessment. The remainder could not be assessed due to death, moving, referral, or transfer to a long-term care facility. Assessors confirmed the presence of a problem in 121 of 124 assessed cases, a positive predictive value of 98%. The program was useful for 94 people, 48% of those identified and assessed. CONCLUSION: Paramedics can serve as case finders for at-risk elderly, and effective linkage to service agencies can occur.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To characterize the clinical presentation and identify factors predictive of bacteremia in elderly patients. DESIGN: Retrospective review of emergency department charts, hospital records, and microbiology reports. SETTING: Community teaching hospital with annual ED census of 65,000 adults. PARTICIPANTS: Seven hundred fifty elderly patients (aged 65 to 99 years) who were evaluated by the emergency physician, had blood cultures obtained in the ED, and were hospitalized with a suspected infectious process during a 12-month period. MEASUREMENTS: Records were analyzed for demographic information, underlying diseases, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, sources of infection, and causative organisms. Using contingency tables, 79 patients with positive blood cultures were compared with a random sample of 136 patients with sterile blood cultures to identify clinical variables significantly (P less than .05) associated with bacteremia. Logistic regression analysis was performed with significant factors to develop a model to predict bacteremia. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were calculated for the model. MAIN RESULTS: The prevalence of bacteremia was 10.6%. Escherichia coli was the most commonly isolated pathogen (29% of cases), and the urinary tract was the most common source of infection (44.3% of cases). Logistic regression analysis showed that altered mental status (odds ratio, 2.88; 95% confidence interval [Cl], 1.52 to 5.50), vomiting (odds ratio, 2.63; 95% Cl, 1.16 to 6.15), and WBC band forms of more than 6% (0.06) (odds ratio, 3.50; 95% Cl, 1.58 to 5.27) were independent predictors of bacteremia. The presence of at least one of these three factors had a sensitivity of 0.85 (95% Cl, 0.75 to 0.92) and a specificity of 0.46 (95% Cl, 0.38 to 0.55) for predicting bacteremia in the study group. The positive predictive value was 0.16 (95% Cl, 0.12 to 0.19) and the negative predictive value was 0.96 (95% Cl, 0.94 to 0.98) for the ED patient group that met inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION: Elderly patients fail to manifest identifiable clinical features indicative of bloodstream infection. The sensitivity and specificity of the best statistical model for identifying bacteremic elderly patients suggest that clinical indicators alone are unreliable predictors of bacteremia in the geriatric ED population studied.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To determine the feasibility, safety, and reliability of emergency cardiac treadmill exercise stress testing (CTEST) in the evaluation of emergency department patients with atypical chest pain. DESIGN: Thirty-two patients with atypical chest pain, normal ECGs, and risk factor stratification having low-probability of coronary artery disease were evaluated prospectively using outpatient, emergency CTEST. Study patients were compared with a retrospectively selected sample of admitted patients diagnosed with atypical chest pain who met the study criteria and were evaluated with CTEST as inpatients. All patients had follow-up at three and six months after evaluation. SETTING: University-affiliated community teaching hospital with 65,000 annual ED visits. RESULTS: All patients had normal CTEST. No patient had evidence of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, or sudden death during the follow-up period. The average length of stay was 5.5 hours for emergency CTEST patients versus two days for inpatients. The average patient charge was $467 for ED evaluation with emergency CTEST versus $2,340 for inpatient evaluation. CONCLUSION: Emergency CTEST is a safe, efficient, cost-effective, and practical method of evaluating selected ED patients with chest pain. It is a useful aid for clinical decision making and may help to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.

Description
An account of the resource
Cardiac arrest from electrical shock or lightning strike is associated with significant mortality and requires modification and extension of standard advanced life support measures to achieve successful resuscitation. Patients who experience electrical shock or lightning strike may sustain cardiac and respiratory arrest secondary to the direct effects of current. However, the majority of victims have associated multisystem involvement, including neurologic complications, cutaneous burns, and associated blunt trauma. As a result, a combination of advanced cardiac life support measures and advanced trauma life support techniques is indicated. Victims with cardiac arrest from electrical shock or lightning strike require prompt, aggressive resuscitation using standard methods for airway control, ventilation, and chest compressions, as well as usual measures for defibrillation and cardiac pharmacotherapy. Unique considerations include vigorous fluid resuscitation and spinal immobilization for victims of electrical shock and reversal of normal multiple casualty triage priorities when managing several lightning strike victims. Because the majority of victims are relatively young and seldom have significant underlying cardiac disease, the chance for successful resuscitation may be greater for patients who experience sudden death from electrical shock or lightning strike than for those with other causes of cardiac arrest, even among patients with initial rhythms traditionally unresponsive to therapy. Although numerous specialized aspects are required for the successful management of victims of electrical shock and lightning strike, the following article focuses on the unique considerations necessary for immediate care of cardiac arrest victims, with emphasis on the underlying mechanisms of sudden death and currently recommended guidelines for resuscitation.
