Objective Hyponatremia and hypernatremia are common electrolyte disorders. Few studies to date have focused on patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with sodium (Na) disorders. Our objective was to determine the incidence and outcomes of hyponatremia and hypernatremia in ED patients.
Methods This study was a retrospective, single-center review of electronic medical records at an academic suburban ED with approximately 100,000 annual visits. Subjects included consecutive adult ED patients with Na levels measured while in the ED in 2019. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were recorded. Outcomes data, including hospital admission, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mortality, and length of stay (LOS), were recorded. The primary outcome was inhospital death. Secondary outcomes were hospital admission, ICU admission, ED LOS, and hospital LOS. Univariable and multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the association of candidate predictor variables and outcomes.
Results Na was measured in 57,427 adults (54%) among a total of 106,764 assessed ED visits in 2019. The mean±standard deviation age was 54±21 years, and 47% of participants were male. Mild, moderate, and severe hyponatremia and hypernatremia occurred in 8%, 2%, and 0.1% of patients and 1%, 0.2%, and <0.1% of patients, respectively. Hospital and ICU admission and mortality rates increased as Na levels increased or decreased further from normal. Adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) values for hospital mortality were 2.39 (1.97–2.90) for mild hyponatremia, 3.93 (2.95–5.24) for moderate hyponatremia, 6.98 (2.87–16.40) for severe hyponatremia, 3.65 (2.47–5.40) for mild hypernatremia, 8.58 (4.92–14.94) for moderate hypernatremia, and 55.75 (11.37–273.30) for severe hypernatremia. Hypernatremia was associated with a greater risk of death than hyponatremia. Patients with hyponatremia and hypernatremia had increased LOS times compared to those with normal Na levels.
Conclusion Hyponatremia and hypernatremia were associated with greater rates of hospital admission, ICU admission, mortality, and prolonged hospital LOS times.

Objective To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study using a nationally representative database to estimate the frequency of critical procedures (endotracheal tube intubation [ETI], cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], and central line insertion [CLI]) in children and adults.
Methods The study was based on the secondary analysis of the 2010-2014 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. We included adult and pediatric patients undergoing critical procedures in the emergency department. We extracted demographic and clinical information, including the performance of critical procedures. For frequent procedures (≥1 per year), we estimated the annual number of critical procedures per emergency physician (EP) by dividing the total number of annual critical procedures by the total number of EPs (estimated at 40,000). For infrequent procedures, we calculated the average interval between procedures. We summarized the data with descriptive statistics and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results There were an estimated 668 million total emergency department visits (24% pediatric). On average, a single EP performed 8.6 (95% CI, 5.5 to 11.7) CLIs, 3.7 (95% CI, 2.4 to 5.0) CPRs, and 6.3 (95% CI, 5.3 to 7.4) ETIs per year in adults. In comparison, a single EP performed one pediatric CLI, CPR, and ETI every 3.2 (95% CI, 1.9 to 9.8), 5.2 (95% CI, 2.8 to 33.5), and 2.8 (95% CI, 1.6 to 8.9) years, respectively.
Conclusion Our nationwide findings confirm those of previous smaller studies that critical procedures are significantly fewer in children than adults. We suggest that methods to retain skills in pediatric critical procedures should be developed for general EPs to ensure that they deliver the highest level of care across the entire age spectrum.

Objective Introduction of target specific anticoagulants and recent guidelines encourage outpatient management of low risk patients with venous thromboembolism. We describe hospital admission rates over time for patients presenting to US emergency departments (EDs) with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and estimate the proportion of low-risk PE patients who could potentially be managed as outpatients.
Methods We performed a structured analysis of the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (a nationally representative weighted sampling of US ED visits) database for the years 2006–2010 including all adult patients with a primary diagnosis of DVT or PE. Simplified pulmonary embolus scoring index (sPESI) scores were determined in patients with PE to identify low risk patients.
Results There were an estimated 652,000 and 394,000 ED visits for DVT and PE over the 5-year period (0.17%). Mean (SE) age was 59 (1.3), 50% were female, and 40% were > 65 years. Admission rates for DVT and PE were 52% and 90% respectively with no significant changes over time. In patients with DVT, predictors for admission were age (odds ratio, 1.03 per year of age [95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 1.05]) and race (odds ratio, 4.1 [95% confidence interval, 0.9 to 19.8] for Hispanics and 2.9 [1.2 to 7.4] for Blacks). Of all ED patients with PE, 51% were low risk based on sPESI scores.
Conclusion Admission rates for DVT and PE have remained high and unchanged, especially with PE, minorities, and in older patients. Based on sPESI scores, up to half of PE patients might be eligible for early discharge or outpatient therapy.
