From non-agentic large language models to multi-agent systems in emergency medicine: a scoping review
Close
Objective
This study aimed to conduct a scoping review of studies on non-agentic large language models (LLMs), LLM-based agents, and multi-agent systems reported in emergency medicine, and to identify current research trends and major gaps by analyzing their clinical application scope, system structures, evaluation approaches, and input data characteristics.
Methods
The Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and CINAHL databases were searched for literature published from March 8, 2021, to March 7, 2026. Among English full-text articles, studies addressing the application, evaluation, or benchmarking of non-agentic LLMs, LLM-based agents, or multi-agent systems in emergency medicine or the emergency department (ED) were included. Through reference tracking, 35 studies were analyzed.
Results
Of the 35 included studies, 26 were application studies, 6 were framework studies, and 3 were benchmark studies. The studies were concentrated on a limited set of tasks, including triage, diagnostic and treatment decision support, and documentation. In terms of system type, non-agentic LLMs were the most common (n=25), followed by LLM-based agents (n=7) and multi-agent systems (n=3). Inputs were predominantly text-based, and evaluation mainly relied on expert comparison, retrospective record review, vignette-based comparison, and task-specific performance metrics. In contrast, workflow-level, prospective, and safety and trustworthiness-oriented evaluation were limited.
Conclusion
LLMs in emergency medicine have shown potential for task-level decision support and documentation. However, current literature remains focused on non-agentic LLM-based task support, while studies reflecting the dynamic workflow of real EDs remain limited. Future research should expand toward workflow-aware design, operational evaluation, multimodal data integration, multi-agent–based role coordination, and safety and trustworthiness validation.

Objective
Workplace-based assessment (WBA) plays a crucial role in assessing entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in the competency-based medical education era. This pilot study explored the perceptions of residents and assessors of two WBAs for three Korean Society of Emergency Medicine EPAs.
Methods
Eight emergency medicine (EM) residents underwent WBAs, with mini-clinical evaluation exercises (mini-CEX) conducted by nine EM faculty members and multisource feedback (MSF) provided by two internal medicine faculty members and four emergency room nurses, for a total of 69 assessments. We conducted an anonymous online survey to gather feedback on experiences, perceptions, and recommendations for improving WBA, such as mini-CEX and MSF, with responses scored on a 5-point Likert scale.
Results
Of the 23 initial participants, 15 (65.2%) responded, including 5 residents and 10 assessors. EM faculty viewed mini-CEX favorably, noting its strong integration of supervision and effectiveness in assessing resident performance. EM residents reported comfort issues during assessments, preferring immediate feedback and multiple assessors. MSF was generally perceived positively but showed discrepancies in the utilities of rating scales and feedback types, indicating potential areas for improvement.
Conclusion
Two WBAs for three Korean Society of Emergency Medicine EPAs were found to be feasible and acceptable in the context of Korean EM residency training. However, perceptions varied between assessors and residents, necessitating clear communication about WBA objectives and processes. Our findings are useful for shaping future EPA-based training programs, balancing traditional and WBA methods, and enhancing feedback quality.

Global academic productivity in emergency medicine and research output by countries of different income levels
Close
Objective
Despite disparities in the availability and quality of emergency care, the extent to which countries with different incomes participate in research on emergency medicine (EM) remains understudied. This study evaluated productivity in EM research depending on national income.
Methods
Research published since 2004 in Scopus-indexed journals dealing with EM was analyzed quantitatively. Publication, citation, journal impact, and national socioeconomic data were compared. Automated topic modeling was applied using a latent Dirichlet allocation model.
Results
The analysis included 154,458 publications (89.7% in English) from 177 countries. The studies received 1,817,635 citations. High-income countries (HICs) outperformed upper-middle-income countries (UMICs), lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), and low-income countries (LICs) by 11-, 41-, and 72-fold, respectively, by the weighted number of publications (per million population per country) by 21-, 54-, and 171-fold, respectively, and by the weighted count of citations. The annual number of publications is predicted to rise considerably for HICs, to a lesser extent for UMICs, and to far less for LMICs, but not for LICs. Research productivity was significantly related to national socioeconomic indicators. Topic modeling revealed that HICs pay relatively more attention to advances in resuscitation, whereas LICs focus more on injuries.
Conclusion
. While global research productivity for EM is rising, LICs lag far behind HICs. Priorities in EM research differ among countries with different incomes. The development of country-specific EM research agendas would help boost national academic productivity and determine context-appropriate interventions for improving outcomes in emergency care.

Close
Objective
This study aims to systematically review the ethical and legal discussions regarding the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) for patient triage and resource allocation in emergency medicine, and to identify the current state of discussions, their limitations, and future research directions.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was conducted following scoping review methodology. Relevant literature published after January 2020 was searched in the Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases. Based on a PCC (population, concept, and context) framework (emergency patients/medical staff; triage, resource allocation; and emergency medicine with AI application), a final selection of 27 articles was analyzed.
Results
The selected literature raised various ethical and legal issues related to the introduction of AI triage systems and AI utilization in emergency medicine, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, automation dependency, accountability, and explainability. In response to these issues, human-centered design, implementation of explainable AI, establishment of regulatory frameworks, continuous verification and evaluation, and ensuring human-in-the-loop were discussed as major solutions. However, discussions on the risks of “persuasive AI” that could mislead users, ethical issues of generative AI, and social validation and patient and public involvement were found to be insufficient.
Conclusion
Ethical and legal discussions regarding AI in emergency medicine are evolving toward seeking concrete solutions at technical, institutional, and relational dimensions. However, in-depth research on ethical challenges, such as reflecting the specificity of rapidly developing AI and the values of emergency medicine, is urgently required.

Objective
Ketamine is a promising drug for analgesia in emergency medicine, but the high rate of side effects is a barrier to widespread usage. We hypothesized that ketamine bolus followed by ketamine infusion would provide a more even and longer duration of analgesia and lower rates of side effects in comparison to bolus-only administration.
Methods
This was a double-blinded clinical trial. Eligible trauma patients were randomly allocated with the numeric rating scale ≥6 in two study groups. The first group received a dose of 0.3 mg/kg of ketamine over 1 minute, followed by an infusion of saline 0.9% over the next 30 minutes (bolus-only group). The second group was given 0.15 mg/kg of ketamine over 1 minute, followed by an infusion of 0.15 mg/kg over the next 30 minutes (bolus-and-infusion group). The primary outcome was to measure the average reduction in pain scores.
Results
In total, 80 patients were recruited. Of these, 77 patients were analyzed. Both groups achieved a statistically significant decrease in pain scores (all P<0.001). After 30 minutes, patients in the bolus-and-infusion group reported lower pain scores in all intervals with lower rates of need for rescue analgesia, but this difference was not statistically significant. Vital signs remained stable during the study in both groups. No statistically significant difference was observed between study groups for any side effect (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Both administration protocols resulted in significant pain control. No statistically significant difference was observed between study groups in terms of analgesic efficacy and side effects.

Objective
This study used a nationwide database to identify and analyze factors that influence emergency department (ED) length of stay (LOS) and improve the efficiency of emergency care. Methods This retrospective study analyzed data from the National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS) database in Korea: 25,578,263 ED visits from 2018 to 2022. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and ED operational variables were examined. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the associations between the variables and prolonged ED LOS, defined as 6 hours or more. Results Among the 25,578,263 patients, the median ED LOS was 2.1 hours (interquartile range, 1.050–3.830 hours), with 12.6% experiencing a prolonged ED LOS. Elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) were significantly more likely than younger patients to experience prolonged ED LOS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.415; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.411–1.419). Patients transferred from other hospitals (aOR, 1.469; 95% CI, 1.463–1.474) and those arriving by emergency medical services (aOR, 1.093; 95% CI, 1.077–1.108) also had high odds of prolonged LOS. Conversely, pediatric patients had a low likelihood of extended stay (aOR, 0.682; 95% CI, 0.678–0.686). Severe illness, including sepsis (aOR, 1.324; 95% CI, 1.311–1.340) and COVID-19 infection (aOR, 1.413; 95% CI, 1.399–1.427), was strongly associated with prolonged LOS. Conclusion Prolonged ED LOS is influenced by a combination of patient demographics, clinical severity, and systemic factors. Targeted interventions for older adults, severe illness, and operational inefficiencies such as hospital transfers are essential for reducing ED LOS and improving overall emergency care delivery.

Objective
Emergency medicine (EM) physicians face high burnout rates, even in academic settings. Research on burnout among EM residency program leaders is limited, despite their role in shaping the training environment and influencing resident well-being. This study aims to measure burnout and professional fulfillment among EM residency program leaders and identify contributing factors. Methods A cross-sectional survey using the adapted Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index was conducted in 2023 to assess burnout and professional fulfillment among EM residency program leaders at US programs. The survey, tailored to EM leaders, was distributed to all current EM program directors (PDs) and assistant/associate PDs (APDs) from accredited US programs. Descriptive statistics and odds ratios were used to compare burnout and professional fulfillment across various groups. Results A total of 112 of 281 PDs (response rate, 39.9%) and 130 of 577 APDs (response rate, 22.5%) participated. Professional fulfillment was reported by 59.8% of PDs and 58.5% of APDs. Burnout was experienced by 42.0% of PDs and 26.9% of APDs. Higher professional fulfillment correlated with alignment with expectations, positive work environments, and perceived appreciation, while burnout was strongly associated with negative impacts on personal health and relationships. Approximately 27.7% of PDs and 23.8% of APDs expressed an intention to leave their current position within 18 months. Conclusion A significant proportion of US EM residency program leaders experience burnout and low professional fulfillment. Addressing well-being in this population has important implications for education and mentorship provided to future physicians in the field.

While nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) has been reported in a significant percentage of adults who were resuscitated after cardiac arrest, it is rare in children. This report presents the first known Japanese case of pediatric NOMI after return of spontaneous circulation following cardiac arrest. A 16-month-old boy experienced cardiac arrest due to asphyxiation from foreign bodies in the airway. After receiving 10 doses of adrenaline, with a maximum arrest time of 95 minutes, the patient achieved return of spontaneous circulation. However, 40 hours after onset, the patient developed NOMI, resulting in refractory hypotensive shock with decreased blood pressure, distended abdomen, and increased intravesical pressure. The patient was successfully rescued with two laparotomies and was discharged. Although NOMI is uncommon in children, appropriate treatment can be lifesaving.

Airway management is a fundamental and complex process that involves a sequence of integrated tasks. Situations requiring emergency airway management may occur in the emergency department, intensive care units, and various other clinical spaces. A variety of challenges can arise during emergency airway preparation, intubation, and postintubation, which may result in significant complications for patients. Therefore, many countries are establishing step-by-step systemization and detailed guidelines and/or updating their content based on the latest research. This clinical review introduces the current trends in emergency airway management, such as emergency airway management algorithms, comparison of video and direct laryngoscopy, rapid sequence intubation, pediatric airway management, prehospital airway management, surgical airway management, and airway management education.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have potential to revolutionize emergency medical care by enhancing triage systems, improving diagnostic accuracy, refining prognostication, and optimizing various aspects of clinical care. However, as clinicians often lack AI expertise, they might perceive AI as a “black box,” leading to trust issues. To address this, “explainable AI,” which teaches AI functionalities to end-users, is important. This review presents the definitions, importance, and role of explainable AI, as well as potential challenges in emergency medicine. First, we introduce the terms explainability, interpretability, and transparency of AI models. These terms sound similar but have different roles in discussion of AI. Second, we indicate that explainable AI is required in clinical settings for reasons of justification, control, improvement, and discovery and provide examples. Third, we describe three major categories of explainability: pre-modeling explainability, interpretable models, and post-modeling explainability and present examples (especially for post-modeling explainability), such as visualization, simplification, text justification, and feature relevance. Last, we show the challenges of implementing AI and ML models in clinical settings and highlight the importance of collaboration between clinicians, developers, and researchers. This paper summarizes the concept of “explainable AI” for emergency medicine clinicians. This review may help clinicians understand explainable AI in emergency contexts.

Emergency physicians (EPs) working in low-resource settings, where patients mainly bear the cost of healthcare delivery, face many challenges. Emergency care is patient-centered and ethical challenges are numerous in situations where patient autonomy and beneficence are fragile. This review discusses some of the common bioethical issues in the resuscitation and postresuscitation phases of treatment. Solutions are proposed and the necessity for evidence-based ethics and unanimity on ethical standards is emphasized. After a consensus was reached on the structure of the article, smaller groups of authors (2–3) wrote narrative reviews of ethical issues such as patient autonomy and honesty, beneficence and nonmaleficence, dignity, justice, and specific practices and circumstances such as family presence during resuscitation after discussions with senior EPs. Ethical dilemmas were discussed, and solutions were proposed. Cases related to medical decision-making by proxy, financial constraints in management, and resuscitation in the face of medical futility have been discussed. Solutions proposed include the early-stage involvement of hospital ethics committees, financial assurance in place beforehand, and allowing some leverage on a case-to-case basis when care is futile. We recommend developing evidence-based national ethical guidelines and incorporating societal and cultural norms with autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, honesty, and justice principles.

Close
Objective
In 2011, School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine was among the first schools to implement a 4-year ultrasound curriculum. We aimed to find the point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) utilization pattern among University of California, Irvine alumni.
Methods
We surveyed University of California, Irvine alumni from the class of 2011 and beyond. Survey questions included POCUS reliance, frequency of use, and comfort with image acquisition and interpretation compared with peers. The primary outcomes were self-reported comfort and reliance on POCUS.
Results
We received 93 responses from 624 surveyed alumni (response rate, 14.9%), of which 87 were analyzed. Although 46 respondents (52.9%) reported more reliance on POCUS, three (3.4%) relied on it less than their peers. At the same time, 72 (82.7%) and 67 (77.0%) felt more comfortable than their colleagues in obtaining and interpreting POCUS, respectively. No respondents felt less comfortable obtaining or interpreting POCUS than their peers. The frequency of POCUS use correlated directly with the frequency with which POCUS changed the responder’s case management (rho, 0.860; P<0.001). POCUS reliance also correlated with respondents’ comfort level in obtaining (rho, 0.321; P<0.001) and interpreting (rho, 0.378; P<0.001) POCUS results.
Conclusion
University of California, Irvine graduates had higher reliance on POCUS than peers in their respective specialties. Their POCUS findings frequently changed their case management.

Close
Objective
This study evaluated the impact of head computed tomography (CT) on clinical decision-making about older adults with acute altered mental status (AMS) in the emergency department in terms of CT’s diagnostic yield, emergency department length of stay, and changes in medical strategy. It also attempted to find predictors of an acute imaging abnormality.
Methods
This was a 1-year, retrospective, single-center observational study of patients aged ≥75 years who underwent noncontrast head CT because of an isolated episode of AMS. The acute positive CT findings were ischemic strokes, hemorrhages, tumors, demyelinating lesions, hydrocephalus, and intracranial infections.
Results
A total of 594 CTs were performed, of which 38 (6.4%) were positive. The main etiology of AMS was sepsis (29.1%). Changes in medical strategy were more common in patients with a positive CT, and the major changes were ordering additional neuro exams (odds ratio [OR], 95.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 38.4–233.8; P<0.001), adjusting treatments (OR, 12.2; 95% CI, 5.0–29.5; P<0.001), and referral to a neurologic unit (OR, 7.3; 95% CI, 3.0–17.5; P<0.01). Three factors were significantly associated with a positive outcome: Glasgow Coma Scale <13 (OR, 8.5; 95% CI, 2.3–28.9; P<0.001), head wound (OR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.1–8.2; P=0.025), and dehydration (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1–0.4; P=0.021). For elderly patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale ≥13 and no head wound or clinical dehydration, the probability of a positive CT was 0.02 (95% CI, 0.01–0.04). Considering only those patients, the diagnostic yield fell to 1.7%.
Conclusion
In elderly patients, the causes of AMS are primarily extracerebral. Randomized clinical trials are needed to validate a clinical pathway for selecting patients who require emergent neuroimaging.

In emergency departments, many drugs, fluids, and materials for medical examinations and treatment are typically administered to patients intravenously. One of the most common complications of the intravenous bolus or infusion of drugs is extravasation injuries. These injuries may cause certain morbidities for the patient, increase the cost of treatment, and prolong hospital stays. At the same time, these injuries also carry medicolegal risks for health personnel. Furosemide is a potent diuretic that is commonly used in emergency departments for volume overload conditions. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no cases reported in the literature of furosemide-induced extravasation injury with subsequent compartment syndrome that has required surgical intervention. Presented herein is the case of a 70-year-old female patient who was administered intravenous furosemide from the dorsum of the left hand and whose extravasation injury progressed to compartment syndrome requiring an emergency fasciotomy.

With current medical advances, the human population continues to age. This presents healthcare practitioners with the increasing complexity of providing care to elderly patients with multifactorial medical and personal needs. This is a particular challenge in the emergency department, where patients often present for care in the last months of their lives. Early identification of palliative care needs and initiation of comfort care can drastically improve patient care and quality of life. Although emergency physicians agree that palliative care is an important area of knowledge, there is a gap in palliative care training in emergency medicine residencies. It is increasingly important for emergency medicine providers to have the resources and training to provide palliative care and to understand end-of-life issues.

Close
The use of extracts from the hawthorn plant as cardiovascular agents dates back to the 1st century; recently, they have also been made available online as weight loss aids. Herein, we present a case of intentional intoxication with hawthorn root extract (HRE) in an adult patient that resulted in death. A 20-year-old female patient, who was clinically diagnosed with depression, developed hypotension, bradycardia, and depressed consciousness after ingestion of this extract. An electrocardiogram recorded a sinus arrest with a slow nodal rhythm, which rapidly deteriorated, leading to cardiac arrest. This case report illustrates the potentially fatal consequences of HRE for which the constituents have not yet been characterized. All physicians, especially those in the emergency department, should be aware of the dangerous, even potentially fatal interactions of HRE with prescription medications.

Close
Objective
To determine the utility of a highly sensitive troponin assay when utilized in the emergency department.
Methods
The FAST-TRAC study prospectively enrolled >1,500 emergency department patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome within 6 hours of symptom onset and 2 hours of emergency department presentation. It has several unique features that are not found in the majority of studies evaluating troponin. These include a very early presenting population in whom prospective data collection of risk score parameters and the physician’s clinical impression of the probability of acute coronary syndrome before any troponin data were available. Furthermore, two gold standard diagnostic definitions were determined by a pair of cardiologists reviewing two separate data sets; one that included all local troponin testing results and a second that excluded troponin testing so that diagnosis was based solely on clinical grounds. By this method, a statistically valid head-to-head comparison of contemporary and high sensitivity troponin testing is obtainable. Finally, because of a significant delay in sample processing, a unique ability to define the molecular stability of various troponin assays is possible.

Close
Atraumatic pericardial tamponade and intracardiac masses are both recognized etiologies of acute obstructive shock. Pericardial tamponade, is a cardiovascular emergency commonly considered by emergency physicians and, as a result, evaluation for this process has been incorporated into standardized point of care ultrasound algorithms for assessing hypotension. Obstructive shock secondary to intracardiac tumors is an atypical clinical presentation, and although it is evaluated by the same ultrasound imaging modality, it is generally not considered or evaluated for in the emergency department setting. The concomitant presentation of these two pathologic processes is an extremely rare oncologic emergency. Existing literature on the subject is found in a small number of case reports with nearly no prior descriptions in emergency medicine references. In the right clinical context this unique presentation should be considered and evaluated for in the emergency department via point of care ultrasound modality to help guide in the management of the resulting obstructive shock.

Close
Objective
The purpose of this study was to analyze the current situation concerning professionalism among emergency physicians in South Korea by conducting a survey regarding their perceptions and experiences of unprofessional behavior.
Methods
In October 2018, the authors evaluated the responses to a questionnaire administered to 548 emergency physicians at 28 university hospitals. The participants described their perceptions and experiences concerning 45 unprofessional behaviors classified into the following five categories: patient care, communication with colleagues, professionalism at work, research, and violent behavior and abusive language. Furthermore, the responses were analyzed by position (resident vs. faculty). Descriptive statistics were generated on the general characteristics of the study participants. To compare differences in responses by position and sex, the chi-square and Fisher exact tests were performed.
Results
Of the 548 individuals invited to participate in this study, 253 responded (response rate, 46.2%). In 34 out of 45 questionnaires, more than half of participants reported having experienced unprofessional behavior despite their negative perceptions. Eleven perception questions and 38 experience questions for unprofessional behavior showed differences by position.
Conclusion
Most emergency physicians were well aware of what constituted unprofessional behavior; nevertheless, many had engaged in or observed such behavior.

Close
Point of care ultrasound is an important tool for diagnosis of musculoskeletal and vascular pathology in patients presenting to the emergency department. Superficial vascular and soft tissue structures are well-visualized at the bedside using modern ultrasound systems and have image characteristics that can be rapidly identified. This report describes the use of point of care ultrasound to distinguish between rapidly progressive soft tissue infection and vascular injury following penetrating trauma from a cat scratch. Ultrasound allowed the physician to rapidly make accurate decisions about the next necessary steps in the patient’s care. Point of care ultrasound provides immediate diagnostic information to supplement indeterminate physical examination findings. In this case, it allowed the treating physician to make the diagnosis of arterial injury using ultrasound image characteristics. An integrative approach to ultrasonography of superficial musculoskeletal and vascular structures could enhance clinical decision making and improve care of patients with similar complaints.

Objective
Accurate interpretation of computed tomography (CT) scans is critical for patient care in the emergency department. We aimed to identify factors associated with an incorrect interpretation of abdominal CT by novice emergency residents and to analyze the characteristics of incorrectly interpreted scans.
Methods
This retrospective analysis of a prospective observational cohort was conducted at three urban emergency departments. Discrepancies between the interpretations by postgraduate year-1 (PGY-1) emergency residents and the final radiologists’ reports were assessed by independent adjudicators. Potential factors associated with incorrect interpretation included patient age, sex, time of interpretation, and organ category. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for incorrect interpretation were calculated using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Results
Among 1,628 eligible cases, 270 (16.6%) were incorrect. The urinary system was the most correctly interpreted organ system (95.8%, 365/381), while the biliary tract was the most incorrectly interpreted (28.4%, 48/169). Normal CT images showed high false-positive rates of incorrect interpretation (28.2%, 96/340). Organ category was found to be a major determinant of incorrect interpretation. Using the urinary system as a reference, the aOR for incorrect interpretation of biliary tract disease was 9.20 (95% confidence interval, 5.0–16.90) and the aOR for incorrectly interpreting normal CT images was 8.47 (95% confidence interval, 4.85–14.78).
Conclusion
Biliary tract disease is a major factor associated with incorrect preliminary interpretations of abdominal CT scans by PGY-1 emergency residents. PGY-1 residents also showed high false-positive interpretation rates for normal CT images. Emergency residents’ training should focus on these two areas to improve abdominal CT interpretation accuracy.

Objective
Burnout is a common occurrence among healthcare providers and has been associated with provider wellness culture. However, this association has not been extensively studied among emergency medicine (EM) providers. We aim to determine the association between EM provider burnout and their culture of wellness, and to elicit the independent wellness culture domains most predictive of burnout prevention.
Methods
This was a multi-center observational study. We enrolled EM physicians and advanced practice providers from sixteen different emergency departments (EDs). Provider wellness culture and burnout surveys were performed. The wellness culture domains included in this study are personal/organizational value alignment, provider appreciation, leadership quality, self-controlled scheduling, peer support, and family support. Correlations between each wellness culture domain and burnout were analyzed by Pearson correlation co-efficiency, and their associations were measured by multivariate logistic regression with adjustments of other confounders.
Results
A total of 242 ED provider surveys were entered for final analysis. The overall burnout rate was 54% (130/242). Moderate correlations were found between burnout and two wellness culture domains (value alignment: r=-0.43, P<0.001 and provider appreciation: r=-0.49, P<0.001). The adjusted odds ratio of provider appreciation associated with burnout was 0.44 (95% confidence interval, 0.25–0.77; P=0.004), adjusted odds ratio of family support was 0.67 (95% confidence interval, 0.48–0.95; P=0.025).
Conclusion
ED providers have a relatively high burnout rate. Provider burnout might have certain associations with wellness culture domains. Provider appreciation and family support seem to play important roles in burnout protection.

Close
Objective
Electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation skills are of critical importance for diagnostic accuracy and patient safety. In our emergency department (ED), senior third-year emergency medicine residents (EM3s) are the initial interpreters of all ED ECGs. While this is an integral part of emergency medicine education, the accuracy of ECG interpretation is unknown. We aimed to review the adverse quality assurance (QA) events associated with ECG interpretation by EM3s.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective study of all ED ECGs performed between October 2015 and October 2018, which were read primarily by EM3s, at an urban tertiary care medical center treating 56,000 patients per year. All cases referred to the ED QA committee during this time were reviewed. Cases involving a perceived error were referred to a 20-member committee of ED leadership staff, attendings, residents, and nurses for further consensus review. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.
Results
EM3s read 92,928 ECGs during the study period. Of the 3,983 total ED QA cases reviewed, errors were identified in 268 (6.7%; 95% CI, 6.0%–7.6%). Four of the 268 errors involved ECG misinterpretation or failure to act on an ECG abnormality by a resident (1.5%; 95% CI, 0.0%–2.9%).
Conclusion
A small percentage of the cases referred to the QA committee were a result of EM3 misinterpretation of ECGs. The majority of emergency medicine residencies do not include the senior resident as a primary interpreter of ECGs. These findings support the use of EM3s as initial ED ECG interpreters to increase their clinical exposure.

Objective
The practice of allowing parental presence during invasive procedures in children varies depending on setting and individual provider preference. We aim to understand the attitudes, preferences, and practices of physicians and nurses with regard to parental presence during invasive pediatric emergency procedures in an Asian cultural context.
Methods
We surveyed physicians and nurses in the pediatric emergency department of a large tertiary hospital using separate self-administered questionnaires over three months. The data collected included the demographics and clinical experience of interview respondents. Each provider was asked about their attitude and preference regarding parental presence during specific invasive procedures.
Results
We surveyed 90 physicians and 107 nurses. Most physicians in our context preferred to perform pediatric emergency procedures without parental presence (82, 91.1%). Forty physicians (44.4%) reported that parental presence slowed down procedures, while 75 (83.3%) felt it increased provider stress. Most physicians made the decision to allow parents into the procedure room based on parental attitude (69, 76.7%) and the child’s level of cooperation (64, 71.1%). Most nurses concurred that parental presence would add to provider stress during procedures (69, 64.5%). We did not find a significant relationship between provider experience (P=0.26) or age (P=0.50) and preference for parental presence.
Conclusion
In our cultural context, most physicians and nurses prefer to perform procedures for children in the absence of parents. We propose that this can be changed by health professional training with role play and simulation, adequate supervision by experienced physicians, and clear communication with parents.

Objective
This study was conducted to evaluate the concordance between the underlying causes of death (UCOD) on the death certificates written by three emergency physicians (EPs). We investigated errors on the death certificates committed by each EP.
Methods
This study included 106 patients issued a death certificate in the emergency department of an academic hospital. Three EPs reviewed the medical records retrospectively and completed 106 death certificates independently. The selection of the UCOD on the death certificates by each EP (EP-UCOD) was based on the general principle or selection rules. The gold standard UCOD (GS-UCOD) was determined for each patient by unanimous consent between three EPs. We also compared between the EP-UCOD and the GS-UCOD. In addition, we compared between UCODs of three EPs. The errors on the death certificates were investigated by each EP.
Results
The rates of concordance between EP-UCOD and the GS-UCOD were 86%, 81%, and 67% for EP-A, EP-B, and EP-C, respectively. The concordance rates between EP-A and EP-B were the highest overall percent agreement (0.783), and those between EP-A and EP-C were the lowest overall percent agreement (0.651). Although each EP had differences in the errors they committed, none of them listed the mode of dying as UCOD.
Conclusion
This study confirmed that each EP wrote death certificates indicating different causes of death for the same decedents; however, the three EPs made fewer errors on the patients’ death certificates compared with those reported in previous studies.

Lacerations are a common reason for patients to seek medical attention, and are often acutely managed in the emergency department. Recent studies pertaining to closure techniques, sedation and analgesia, advances in wound care, and various other topics have been published, which may enhance our understanding of this injury and improve our management practices. This article will review pertinent studies published in the past few years relevant to laceration management. Understanding the current literature and appreciating which areas warrant further investigation will help us optimize outcomes for patients who sustain laceration injuries.

Objective
Determine differences between faculty, residents, and nurses regarding night shift preparation, performance, recovery, and perception of emotional and physical health effects.
Methods
Survey study performed at an urban university medical center emergency department with an accredited residency program in emergency medicine.
Results
Forty-seven faculty, 37 residents, and 90 nurses completed the survey. There was no difference in use of physical sleep aids between groups, except nurses utilized blackout curtains more (69%) than residents (60%) and faculty (45%). Bedroom temperature preference was similar. The routine use of pharmacologic sleep aids differed: nurses and residents (both 38%) compared to faculty (13%). Residents routinely used melatonin more (79%) than did faculty (33%) and nurses (38%). Faculty preferred not to eat (45%), whereas residents (24%) preferred a full meal. The majority (>72%) in all groups drank coffee before their night shift and reported feeling tired despite their routine, with 4:00 a.m. as median nadir. Faculty reported a higher rate (41%) of falling asleep while driving compared to residents (14%) and nurses (32%), but the accident rate (3% to 6%) did not differ significantly. All had similar opinions regarding night shift-associated health effects. However, faculty reported lower level of satisfaction working night shifts, whereas nurses agreed less than the other groups regarding increased risk of drug and alcohol dependence.
Conclusion
Faculty, residents, and nurses shared many characteristics. Faculty tended to not use pharmacologic sleep aids, not eat before their shift, fall asleep at a higher rate while driving home, and enjoy night shift work less.

Especially in emergency departments (EDs), a lack of internal medicine (IM) residents in charge causes difficulties in medical care and ED overcrowding. Thus, protocols without IM residents in EDs is needed. This study aimed to investigate changes in medical care when emergency medicine residents replaced the roles of IM residents.
Methods
This study was conducted at a single-site ED of a university medical center. The study group contained patients admitted to the IM department between September and December 2015, during which IM residents were absent in the ED. The control group contained patients admitted to the IM department between September and December 2014, during which IM residents were present in the ED. Changes in medical care between the presence and absence of IM residents in the ED were studied by comparing admission rates from the ED, length of ED stay, duration of hospitalization, and concordance of diagnoses between admission and discharge by the IM department.
Results
The study group contained 2,341 patients; the control group contained 2,215 patients. Admission rates from the ED increased by 53.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], P<0.001); lengths of stay decreased by 15.1% (95% CI, P<0.001); and durations of hospitalization in the pulmonology department decreased by 38.4% (95% CI, P=0.001). Concordance of diagnoses between admission and discharge decreased by 14.2% in the cardiology department (95% CI, P=0.021).
Conclusion
Lengths of stay were reduced without critical declines in diagnostic concordance rates when emergency medicine physicians, instead of IM residents in the ED, decided upon admissions of IM patients.

Objective
Patients with implanted cardiac devices may wait extended periods for interrogation in emergency departments (EDs). Our purpose was to determine if device interrogation could be done safely and faster by ED staff.
Methods
Prospective randomized, standard therapy controlled, trial of ED staff device interrogation vs. standard process (SP), with 30-day follow-up. Eligibility criteria: ED presentation with a self-report of a potential device related complaint, with signed informed consent. SP interrogation was by company representative or hospital employee.
Results
Of 60 patients, 42 (70%) were male, all were white, with a median (interquartile range) age of 71 (64 to 82) years. No patient was lost to follow up. Of all patients, 32 (53%) were enrolled during business hours. The overall median (interquartile range) ED vs. SP time to interrogation was 98.5 (40 to 260) vs. 166.5 (64 to 412) minutes (P=0.013). While ED and SP interrogation times were similar during business hours, 102 (59 to 138) vs. 105 (64 to 172) minutes (P=0.62), ED interrogation times were shorter vs. SP during non-business hours; 97 (60 to 126) vs. 225 (144 to 412) minutes, P=0.002, respectively. There was no difference in ED length of stay between the ED and SP interrogation, 249 (153 to 390) vs. 246 (143 to 333) minutes (P=0.71), regardless of time of presentation. No patient in any cohort suffered an unplanned medical contact or post-discharge adverse device related event.
Conclusion
ED staff cardiac device interrogations are faster, and with similar 30-day outcomes, as compared to SP.

Objective
Burnout is common in physicians and particularly acute in emergency physicians. Physician burnout may adversely affect physicians’ lives and the quality of care they provide, but much remains unknown about its main contributing factors. The present study evaluated burnout rates and contributing factors in emergency physicians in Israel, specifically focusing on the role of a sense of meaning, which has received little attention in the literature concerning burnout in emergency physicians.
Methods
A multicenter study, involving a convenience sample of physicians working full-time in the emergency departments of 16 general hospitals in Israel, was conducted. Questionnaires were used to assess burnout, demographic characteristics, professional stress, emotional distress, satisfaction, and quality of professional life, and open-ended questions were used to evaluate subjective perception of job satisfaction.
Results
Seventy physicians completed the questionnaires; 71.4% reported significant burnout levels in at least one of the burnout measures, while 82% also reported medium or high levels of competency. Burnout levels were associated with work-life balance, work satisfaction, social support, depressive symptoms, stress, and preoccupying thoughts. Regression analysis yielded two significant factors associated with burnout: worry and a sense of existential meaning derived from work. In addition, 61%, 51%, and 17% of participants exhibited high emotional exhaustion, high depersonalization, and a low sense of personal accomplishment, respectively.
Conclusion
These results indicate a high burnout rate in emergency physicians in Israel and highlight relevant positive and negative factors including the importance of addressing existential meaning in designing specific intervention programs to counter burnout.
