Emergency Department Triage Scales and Their Components: A Systematic Review of the Scientific Evidence

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

A systematic review of triage-related interventions to improve patient flow in emergency departments

TL;DR: There is only limited scientific evidence that streaming of patients into different tracks, performing laboratory analysis in the emergency department or having nurses to request certain x-rays results in shorter waiting time and length of stay.
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

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

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
