Clinical Emergency

Demand for the Emergency Department (ED) has increased, making the organization of work difficult. This quantitative, descriptive and documental study identifies and analyzes the characteristics of clinical care in the ED of a General Hospital in Ribeirão Preto, SP, in 2007, according to organizational variables. The study population included all clinical care consultations registered in the Hospital Management Information System. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and discussed considering the theoretical framework of the Single Health System (SUS). A total of 5,285 consultations were registered in the period, which were more frequent in patients from the city itself, in January (10%), on Mondays (16%), from 12pm to 12am (67.1%). The main reason for discharge from the unit was hospitalization (63.8%) and the predominant length of stay in the unit was less than six hours (39.8%). The results support the management of human resources, materials and equipment, indicating the desirability of reorganizing emergency care in the hospital.

Abstract Polytrauma patients represent one of the most challenging medical conditions. Developing methods of assessing the risk of death in these patients is a continous effort for the medical field. In this study we evaluate the creatine kinaze isoenzyme MB (CK-MB) and troponin as markers of increased risk of death in the first 24 hours after admission in polytrauma patients with associated thoracic trauma. The study was conducted on 33 patients treated in the emergency department of County Clinical Emergency Hospital Constanta between 2014 and 2017. The results of the study suggest that CK-MB does not offer additional information related to the risk of death in these patients, while in the case of troponin, higher values were observed in the patients that didn’t survive after 24 hours of followup.
