In this study, the authors first sought to empirically derive centiles for heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) for adults with out-of-hospital emergencies who were transported to an ED. Second, they aimed to evaluate the impact of adjusting for age in the evaluation of centile curves for vital signs to identify practical targets for adjustm

Timely reperfusion is necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Initial care by facilities with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) capabilities reduces time to reperfusion. The authors sought to examine whether insurance status was associated with initial care at EDs with PCI capabilities amongst adult patient

Patients with (LEP) have been shown to experience disparities in (ED) care. The objectives of this study were to examine the LEP and irregular ED departures and return ED visits. We interview senior author Dr. Derick Jones about this new AEM paper.

Emergency care workforce concerns have gained national prominence given recent data suggesting higher than previously estimated attrition. With little known regarding characteristics of physicians leaving the workforce, this paper sought to investigate the age and number of years since residency graduation at which male and female EM physicians exhibited workforce attrition. We

General emergency physicians provide most pediatric emergency care in the United States yet report more challenges managing emergencies in children than adults. Recommendations for standardized pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) curricula to address educational gaps due to variations in pediatric exposure during emergency medicine (EM) training lack learner input. This study su
