Emergency Department Triage Scales and Their Components: A Systematic Review of the Scientific Evidence
Nasim Farrohknia,Maaret Castrén,Anna Ehrenberg,Lars Lind,Sven Oredsson,Håkan Jonsson,Kjell Asplund,Katarina E. Göransson,Katarina E. Göransson +8 more
TL;DR: ED triage scales are found to be supported, at best, by limited and often insufficient evidence, and the ability of the individual vital signs included in the different scales to predict outcome is seldom, if at all, studied in the ED setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sven Oredsson,Håkan Jonsson,Jon Rognes,Lars Lind,Katarina E. Göransson,Katarina E. Göransson,Anna Ehrenberg,Kjell Asplund,Maaret Castrén,Nasim Farrohknia +9 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Improved outcome in Sweden after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and possible association with improvements in every link in the chain of survival
Anneli Strömsöe,Leif Svensson,Åsa B. Axelsson,Andreas Claesson,Katarina E. Göransson,Per Nordberg,Johan Herlitz +6 more
TL;DR: From a long-term perspective, 30-day survival after OHCA in Sweden more than doubled, and the increase in survival was most marked among patients found in a shockable rhythm and those hospitalized with ROSC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interruptions in emergency department work: an observational and interview study
Lena M. Berg,Ann-Sofie Källberg,Katarina E. Göransson,Katarina E. Göransson,Jan Östergren,Jan Östergren,Jan Florin,Anna Ehrenberg +7 more
TL;DR: Clinicians were exposed to interruptions most often during information exchange during activities involving information exchange, and preparation of medication was the most common activity to be interrupted, which might increase risk for errors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thinking strategies used by Registered Nurses during emergency department triage
