How can we assess and improve the quality of care we deliver in Emergency Medicine?

Measuring quality outcomes in Emergency Medicine is difficult. Most measure processes – time to be seen, time to discharge. The patient pathway through the ED is important and should addresses core EM tasks – time to pain relief, time critical treatment provision but we must also capture patient experience outcomes. / Katherine Henderson

Akut Pulmoner Embolide Yatış Oranlarını Azaltmak için Ayaktan Antikoagülasyon Güvenli mi?

Akut pulmoner embolide ayaktan tedavi kararı, hastanın klinik durumu ve embolinin şiddeti gibi faktörlere dayanmalıdır. Hastaların ilaçlarını düzenli kullanmaması ve oral antikoagülanların kanama riskini artırmaları ayaktan tedavilerin güvenilirliğini azaltan etmenlerdir. / Tanju Taşyürek

Fasyal paralizide steroid kullanalım mı? (Evet)

Fasiyal paralizi santral veya periferik nedenli oluşabilir. Periferik fasyal paralizinin (PFP) sıklıkla nedeni idiopatiktir (Bell's paralizi). PFP Tedavisinde e rutin kullanılan steroidler inflamasyonu azaltarak sinir fonksiyonlarının düzelmesine yardımcı olabilir ve tam iyileşme şansını artırabilir. / Şenol Ardıç

Pnömotoraks tedavisi sonrası erken dönemde hava yolu ile yolculuk yapılabilir mi?

Pnömotoraks tedavisinden kısa süre sonra hava yolu ile seyahat etmek önerilmez. Kılavuzlar, pnömotoraks tedavisi tamamlandıktan sonra uçuş için en az 1 ila 3 hafta beklemeyi önermektedir. Bu önlem, uçuş sırasında akciğer hasarı riski nedeniyledir ve bu komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. / Filiz Baloğlu Kaya
