Quantity Matters: Impact of Provider-in-Triage ...
Conclusions: Implementation of a provider-in-triage (PIT) split-flow model was associated with a significant increase in advanced imaging utilization, especially CT. Among abdominal pain patients, PIT exposure was independently associated with...

Accelerated Diagnostic Pathways for Suspected A...
Conclusions: In real-world ED practice, implementing the ESC 0/1-hour hs-troponin pathway did not significantly increase discharge within 4 hours compared with a 0/3-hour pathway. The 0/1-hour pathway was noninferior for...

Drip-and-Ship Versus Mothership Transport for A...
Conclusions: Direct transport to a thrombectomy-capable center—the mothership model—was associated with faster reperfusion and better 90-day functional outcomes than initial transport to a local hospital followed by transfer. The functional...

Conclusions: Emergency physician-performed POCUS demonstrated moderate agreement with cardiologist-interpreted echocardiography for detecting right ventricular dysfunction in patients with pulmonary embolism. POCUS was more specific than sensitive, meaning a clearly abnormal...

Conclusions: An ED-based Emergency Critical Care Program (ECCP) significantly increased the number of patients initially admitted to the MICU who could be safely downgraded to a non-ICU service within six...

Conclusions: CT use rises with age—and so does CT yield: older adults get more CTs, and those CTs are more often actionable/positive. The abdominal exam is less helpful in older...
