An account of the resource
OBJECTIVES: Pain related to the gurney is a frequent complaint of older emergency department (ED) patients. The authors hypothesized that these patients may have less pain and higher satisfaction if allowed to sit in a reclining hospital chair. METHODS: A single-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed. Patients 65 years old or older who were able to sit upright, transfer, and engage in normal conversation were eligible. Severely ill or cognitively impaired patients were excluded. Patients were randomized to either remain on the gurney or transfer to the chair after initial evaluation. Patients reported pain at arrival (t0), at one hour (t1), and at two hours (t2) using a 0-10 pain scale, and satisfaction at study completion on a 0-10 scale. The primary outcome was a decrease in pain between t0 and t1 or no pain at both t0 and t1. This outcome was analyzed using a 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions; exclusion of zero was considered significant. RESULTS: Sixty-six patients in each group were enrolled. There was no difference in demographics between groups, but the chair patients were more likely to have pain at t0 than the gurney patients. More chair patients than gurney patients had a successful primary outcome (97% vs. 76%, 21% difference, 95% CI=10% to 32%). The mean satisfaction score was higher in the chair group than in the gurney group (8.1 vs. 6.0, 2.1 difference, 95% CI=1.4% to 2.8%). CONCLUSIONS: The simple modification of allowing older ED patients to sit in reclining chairs resulted in less pain and higher satisfaction.

Description
An account of the resource
In the United States and around the world, effective, efficient, and reliable strategies to provide emergency care to aging adults is challenging crowded emergency departments ( EDs) and strained healthcare systems. In response, geriatric emergency medicine clinicians, educators, and researchers collaborated with the American College of Emergency Physicians, American Geriatrics Society, Emergency Nurses Association, and Society for Academic Emergency Medicine to develop guidelines intended to improve ED geriatric care by enhancing expertise, educational, and quality improvement expectations, equipment, policies, and protocols. These Geriatric Emergency Department Guidelines represent the first formal society-led attempt to characterize the essential attributes of the geriatric ED and received formal approval from the boards of directors of each of the four societies in 2013 and 2014. This article is intended to introduce emergency medicine and geriatric healthcare providers to the guidelines while providing recommendations for continued refinement of these proposals through educational dissemination, formal effectiveness evaluations, cost-effectiveness studies, and eventually institutional credentialing.

Description
An account of the resource
PURPOSE: To assess the effect of surveillance on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) rates, the efficacy of chemoprophylaxis and mechanical prophylaxis, and the relationship between DVT and PE. METHODS: A 23 year, systematic literature review was performed in PubMed. Twenty publications with \textgreater 13,000 patients were reviewed. Analyzed traits included: DVT surveillance utilization, the total number of patients included in each study, the number of patients developing DVT and/or PE, chemoprophylaxis and mechanical prophylaxis utilization. When event proportions from individual studies were combined, a weighted mean proportion was computed based on the size of each individual cohort. Combined event proportions were compared with other combined event proportions, according to differences in intervention. Inter-group event proportions were compared using Chi-Square or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate. RESULTS: DVT rates increase with surveillance (10.7% vs. 2.5%, p \textless 0.001). PE rates were similar regardless of surveillance (p = 1.0). Chemoprophylaxis lowered both DVT rates (8.2% vs. 10.7%; p \textless 0.0001) and PE rates (1.2% vs. 1.9%; p = 0.0050). Mechanical prophylaxis did not decrease DVT rates (10.2% vs. 11.5%; p = 0.2980) or PE rates (1.7% vs. 1.6%; p = 1.0). In patients with neither chemoprophylaxis nor mechanical prophylaxis, DVT rate was 11.5%, PE was 1.6%. When chemoprophylaxis and/or mechanical prophylaxis were given, DVT rate was 8.6% (p \textless 0.0189) and PE was 1.3% (p = 0.4462). PE proportions were not decreased with mechanical prophylaxis or surveillance. DVT and PE rates were not associated (p = 0.7574). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that PE is not associated with lower extremity DVT in adult trauma patients.
