Clinical Pearls in Emergency Medicine

  • Appendicitis is the most common pediatric gastrointestinal surgical emergency.
  • Drug-eluting stent (DES) placement improves revascularization rates without increased 3-year hazard of adverse clinical outcomes among individuals undergoing emergency primary percutaneous coronary intervention due to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMIs).
  • Using an accelerated diagnostic protocol (ADP) with Troponin 1 as the sole biomarker may successfully identify low short-term risk of major adverse coronary event (MACE), and decrease observation time among individuals who present to the ER with chest pain.

Highlights in Emergency Medicine

Procalcitonin and CRP predict identify high-risk children with appendicitis

As published in Pediatric Emergency Care, procalcitonin and CRP levels discriminate between children admitted with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis who may require closer monitoring. The study involved 111 children who were divided into 2 groups based on intra-operative diagnoses of appendicitis (n=69) and peritonitis (n=42). Patients with peritonitis, who were more likely to have complications and require intensive care unit admission, had significantly higher procalcitonin (0.15 vs. 4.95 ng/ml) and CRP levels (3 vs. 14.3 mg/dl) on admission than patients with appendicitis. Using a cut-off procalcitonin level of 0.18 ng/ml, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for peritonitis were 97%, 80%, 72%, and 89.3%, respectively. Using a cut-off CRP level of 3 mg/dl, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for peritonitis were 95%, 74%, 68%, and 96.2%, respectively.

Vomiting during acute stroke increases mortality

As published in the Emergency Medicine Journal, patients who vomit during acute strokes have an increased risk of mortality (HR=5.06). Of 1968 stroke patients enrolled in the study, 1349 had cerebral infarctions, 459 had cerebral hemorrhages, and 152 had subarachnoid hemorrhages; 14.5% of all stroke patients vomited during the acute stage of the stroke (cerebral infarction, 8.7%; cerebral hemorrhage, 23.7%; and subarachnoid hemorrhage, 36.8%).

Association between tight glycemic control and hip fracture in diabetics

As published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, patients with T2DM (mean age, 77.3 y; n=932) with a HbA1c < 6% (OR=3.01) or 6.1-7% (OR=2.34) are more likely to sustain a hip fracture than patients with a HbA1c > 8%. All patients had a HbA1c level determined within 3 months preceding the hip fracture. No differences in risk existed between patients treated with oral hypoglycemics or insulin.
