Proper Electronic Order Linkage of Electrocardiograms at a Large Children's Hospital Improves Reporting and Revenue
Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are performed to determine an individual's cardiac rhythm. Approximately 25,000 ECGs are performed yearly throughout our hospital system. Historically only 68% of all ECGs were performed with the proper order linked to the electronic ECG reading system (MUSE). Failure to link the orders to the electronic reading system leads to problems in patient safety, reporting and...
متن کاملSodium bicarbonate improves outcome in prolonged pre-hospital cardiac arrest.
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the effect of early administration of an empirical (1 mEq/kg) sodium bicarbonate dose on survival from prehospital cardiac arrest within brief (<5 minutes), moderate (5-15 minutes), and prolonged (>15 minutes) down time. METHODS Prospective randomized, double-blinded clinical intervention trial that enrolled 874 prehospital cardiopulmonary arrest patients manage...
متن کاملThe success of pre-hospital tracheal intubation by different pre-hospital providers: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Pre-hospital basic airway interventions can be ineffective at providing adequate oxygenation and ventilation in some severely ill or injured patients, and advanced airway interventions are then required. Controversy exists regarding the level of provider required to perform successful pre-hospital intubation. A previous meta-analysis reported pre-hospital intubation success rates of ...
متن کاملRural emergency medical technician pre-hospital electrocardiogram transmission.
INTRODUCTION Emergent care of the acute heart attack patient continues to be at the forefront of quality and cost reduction strategies throughout the healthcare industry. Although the average cardiac door-to-balloon (D2B) times have decreased substantially over the past few years, there are still vast disparities found in D2B times in populations that reside in rural areas. Such disparities are...
متن کاملUsing Technology to Enhance Rural Resilience in Pre-Hospital Emergencies
This paper contributes to understanding of the geography of emergency pre-hospital care in rural Scotland and explores the role technology can play in improving the resilience of rural communities. In rural areas worldwide, it can be difficult to access appropriate health services locally and long journeys present challenges to the delivery of care. Poor mobile network coverage, remote location...
