BACKGROUND: The management of asthma remains suboptimal despite the publication of Canadian asthma guidelines in 1999.OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: A descriptive study was conducted to estimate the proportion of patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) for an asthma exacerbation who received a management plan at discharge that was in accordance with seven criteria stated in the Canadian asthma guidelines. The present study took place in two tertiary care hospitals in Montreal, Quebec.RESULTS: A total of 37 patients were enrolled. Three (8%) patients received a management plan at discharge that was in accordance with all seven criteria. Inhaled corticosteroids and oral corticosteroids were prescribed at discharge for 29 (78%) and 35 (95%) patients, respectively. Minimal asthma education was provided for 29 (78%) patients and a medical follow-up was recommended to 22 (60%) patients. Airflow obstruction was evaluated at discharge for only 20 (54%) patients.CONCLUSION: Overall, asthma management at discharge from the ED was generally not in accordance with the 1999 Canadian asthma guidelines. A standardized management plan should be implemented in the ED to improve the care of patients with asthma exacerbations.

Abstract: Emergency Department provides first emergency services to patients with threats of death and disability in an integrated manner involving multi disciplines. Patients who come to the Emergency Department are always assessed as 3 priorities, namely priorities 1, 2 and 3. Priority 1 is case/disease with life-threatening emergency or severe emergency; Priority 2 is case/disease with mild emergency; and Priority 3 is non-emergency case/disease. This study was aimed to obtain the Triage profile of patients at Emergency Department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was a retrospective descriptive study using patients’ medical records. Samples were all patients treated at the Emergency Department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital from January 2018 until July 2018. The results showed that there were 19,229 patients as samples. Based on sex, most patients were male, meanwhile based on age most were 51-70 years, with the highest number of patients in March 2018. There were 6,913 patients (35.9%) in the orange or emergency category (Priority 2) and 6,130 patients (31.8%) in the yellow category (Priority 3). Conclusion: Based on the Start Triage in Emergency Department, the majority of patients were in Priority 2 category, followed by Priority 3 category.Keywords: Emergency Department, Start Triage Abstrak: Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD) memberikan pelayanan pertama yang bersifat emergency pada pasien dengan ancaman kematian dan kecacatan secara terpadu dengan melibatkan multi disiplin ilmu. Pasien yang datang di IGD selalu dinilai kegawatannya menja-di 3 prioritas, yaitu prioritas 1, 2, dan 3. Prioritas 1 yaitu kasus/penyakit dengan kegawat-daruratan yang mengancam jiwa atau gawat darurat berat. Prioritas 2 untuk kasus/penyakit dengan gawat darurat ringan. Prioritas 3 untuk kasus/penyakit yang bukan gawat darurat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil skala Triase pasien yang masuk di IGD RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif-retrospektif, menggunakan data rekam medis pasien. Sampel penelitian ialah seluruh pasien yang dirawat di IGD RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado periode Januari 2018 sampai Juli 2018. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan data pasien yang masuk ke Ruang IGD RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D.

ABSTRACTObjectivesPatients often bring their smartphones to the emergency department (ED) and want to record their procedures. There was no clear ED recording policy in the Saskatoon Health Region nor is there in the new Saskatchewan Health Authority. With limited literature on the subject, clinicians currently make the decision to allow/deny the request to record independently. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare patient and clinician perspectives concerning patients recording, in general, and recording their own procedures in the ED.MethodsSurveys were developed for patients and clinicians with respect to history and opinions about recording/being recorded. ED physicians and nurses, and patients>17 years old who entered the ED with a laceration requiring stitches were recruited to participate; 110 patients and 156 staff responded.ResultsThere was a significant difference between the proportion of patients (61.7% [66/107]) and clinicians (28.1% [41/146]) who believed that patients should be allowed to video record their procedure. There was also a significant difference between clinicians and patients with regard to audio recording, but not “selfies” (pictures). However, with no current policy, 47.8% (66/138) of clinicians said that they would allow videos if asked, with caveats about staff and patient privacy, prior consent, and procedure/patient care.ConclusionContrary to patients’ views, clinicians were not in favour of allowing audio or video recordings in the ED. Concerns around consent, staff and patient privacy, and legal issues warrant the development of a detailed policy if the decision is made in favour of recording.
