Training in research methodology represents an important aspect of emergency medicine (EM) resident education, but best methods for design, implementation, and dissemination of resident research remain elusive. Here we describe recommendations and best practices from the existing literature on EM resident research, including helpful tips on how to best implement a resident research program.

INTRODUCTION

When René Laënnec, a French physician in 1816, failed to adequately percuss the thorax of a young woman with heart disease, he improvised. Laënnec wrote, “I rolled a quire of paper into a sort of cylinder and applied one end of it to the region of the heart and the other to my ear.” 1 After numerous revisions, his invention was revealed to the medical community, and quickly caught on. Within a few years, primitive stethoscopes could be found in medical shops throughout Paris. Had Laënnec stopped with that rolled-up piece of paper, his one-time improvisation would have been lost to the annals of history. Fortunately, he chose to build upon his initial discovery and, crucially, to share his breakthrough with the world. Laënnec’s journey charts an enduring and fundamental trajectory of medical innovation: from observation, through inspiration, refinement and testing, to dissemination.

Development of a research project can be especially daunting to physicians already engaged in an emergency medicine (EM) residency training program. But execution of a research project during residency remains a worthwhile experience, allowing participants to meaningfully contribute to medical knowledge and develop an investigative spirit. 2 Residents participating in research appear to attain greater job satisfaction, 3 and can objectively frame everyday questions and methodically seek answers 3 to problems including (among others) staffing issues, wait times, and communication barriers. 4 – 5

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Residency Review Committee for EM recognizes the importance of these efforts, mandating resident completion of a “scholarly project” prior to graduation. Their requirement cites the following as examples of qualifying activities: “…the preparation of a scholarly paper such as a collective review or case report, active participation in a research project or formulation and implementation of an original research project.” 6 These activities should include problem identification, data collection, analysis, and conclusion. 7 Performance and documentation of these projects are vital to the acceptance of a scholarly project, whether a case report, community project, development of medical software, or traditional research project. 7 Recent reports from within the EM community have emphasized the importance of scholarly activity to EM resident education. 8 – 9

Advancing the state of scientific knowledge is not a requirement for success in resident research, but it is a potential benefit of this exercise. It is the responsibility and privilege of those involved in residency administration to facilitate the training of EM resident researchers in the development and execution of research projects that support not only the professional careers of residents but also the advancement of our specialty. 8 – 9

What is Resident Research?

It has been suggested that “resident research” is, “research where a resident has a principal role in the implementation and completion of the project.” 10 We suggest that the resident research experience be defined by the engagement of the resident learner in the research process, focusing upon the educational value of the project rather than the resident’s official role or involvement in the design and execution of the project. Research studies are intended to create new generalizable knowledge that can be applied to other populations and settings. 11 Consequently, we propose that “resident research” be defined as any systematic investigation designed to yield new information that actively engages the resident-learner and facilitates the acquisition of a greater understanding of the scientific method. This is in distinction to quality improvement projects, which seek to apply existing knowledge to improve healthcare outcomes within a local healthcare institution or setting. 12

Setting Realistic Expectations

One purpose of resident research is to expose residents to the methods by which research is conducted, creating “educated consumers” of the medical literature. However, residencies hoping to establish a resident research program de novo must recognize the additional workload that resident research projects impose upon faculty. Mentors should be primarily responsible for guiding and supervising resident research, but should be adequately vetted to ensure that the research experience yields a positive result for all involved. Research directors should provide guidance relating to funding opportunities, deadlines for abstract submission to key research conferences, important institutional and federal regulations, and departmental resources. 13 Departmental leadership should create an environment in which research is actively promoted, providing appropriate funding and protected time for mentors and other research faculty. 13

Getting Started

Clinical experiences, journal club articles, or experiences with different teaching modalities may generate an appropriate resident research topic including relevant clinical or educational questions. 2 , 14 – 15 Additional ideas may come from the resident’s personal interests or experiences.

Learning Research Methodology

Most programs will offer training through didactic presentations, journal clubs or evidence-based literature discussions. However, a focused educational effort specifically targeting research methodologies has been shown to correlate with improved resident skills, knowledge, and research productivity. 16 Nearly one in four EM training programs offers a fixed rotation in research. 5 , 17 A more feasible format for the busy trainee might be the Advanced Research Methodology Evaluation and Design video series available from the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM), including “how-to” webinars and podcasts produced by senior researchers. 18

The Research Question

A general research question must be formulated, which will generate a testable hypothesis. 3 , 19 All possible outcomes should be considered, and at least one of them must be worthwhile. 20 The FINER criteria may be used to assess the relative merits of the proposal: 14 – 15 , 21

Can the project be completed within the time allotted using the given resources? Can the proposed investigation enroll enough patients to demonstrate a difference in the proposed outcome measures?

Is the topic engaging enough to be worth the effort?

Is the proposed investigation different enough from what has been done before to add knowledge on the subject?

Does the proposed investigation respect the morals of the community, the patient, and the profession?

Are the results likely to be applicable to many patients? Will the results be useful and contribute to the greater good?

Formulating a Hypothesis

A suitably refined and meaningful research question will help in generating a hypothesis, providing a clear delineation of what the investigation will attempt to prove. Investigation of a well-designed hypothesis will be interesting even if a negative result is found.

A mentor experienced in the resident’s area of research interest can be an invaluable resource by offering hints at project scope, helping with setbacks, and tailoring the learning experience to the resident’s needs. 22 Most often, the mentor is an established researcher within the department but could include a specialist in another field, or even a non-physician investigator. 5 , 23 – 24 Goals and expectations should be discussed early on, to avoid frustration for both parties. 5 Terregino has shown that, in general, EM residents are relatively unfamiliar with what resources are available to them, which can lead to significant amounts of time wasted. 25 Most hospitals provide research support that is invisible to the outside observer, including project coordinators, departmental research directors, and biostatisticians. 25 The mentor should be aware of all available institutional resources.

The Literature Search

A valid research project must be informed by past work. Most literature reviews will begin with a search of PubMed.gov , the database of the National Library of Medicine, or OVID.org , which includes textbooks as well as journals. 26 Search terms used must be carefully selected, and the proper Boolean operators assigned. One study has shown physicians to be especially inept at crafting effective search strings. 27 Any doubts about the literature search process or its results should be referred to a librarian.

Each paper identified from the literature review should be thoroughly read. Investigators should avoid citing abstracts alone, as they are often incomplete in their data presentation. This process is labor-intensive but necessary to form a strong foundation for the research project. All references cited within each article should be assessed for relevance. The selected literature should be reviewed to better understand the subject matter and to develop context for the proposed work. If adequate data from existing sources are uncovered, one may consider a retrospective evaluation of prior results including a meta-analysis. 2 , 28 – 29

Research Design

The novice researcher should look to the existing medical literature for guidance in how to properly design a new study. Selection of the proper research methodology will depend upon multiple factors, including the research question, hypothesis, and predetermined outcome measures. A timeline should be implemented to ensure that all tasks are achievable within the allotted time. Resident physicians should develop a team approach, incorporating input from the faulty mentor as well as a staff epidemiologist or biostatistician. The required sample size will depend upon a variety of factors, including the acceptable level of significance, power of the study, expected effect size, underlying event rate in the population, and standard deviation in the population. 30 – 31 Efforts should be made to collect an inclusive and truly random sampling, to avoid convenience selection bias. 32 Early consultation with the biostatistician will also inform the researcher’s decisions on the most appropriate methods for the statistical analysis of data derived from the study. For further information about study design specifics, the reader is referred to several existing publications. 2 , 4 , 13 , 33 – 34

The Institutional Review Board

Any research project that involves human participants or their data requires submission to the local institutional review board (IRB). Research protocols submitted to the IRB can fall into one of three categories: full submission; expedited; or exempt. Research involving greater than minimal risk to human subjects will require a thorough review by the IRB and development of an informed consent document. Prospective projects involving only minimal risk may be approved via the expedited process, where a single reviewer may approve the work in lieu of the convened board. Studies that include only retrospective data from the electronic health record may be exempt from IRB review, but this determination should be made by the IRB, rather than by the investigator. Investigators should confer with their local IRB to confirm what level of IRB review is required before beginning data collection.

Conducting the Study

After the research protocol has been IRB-approved or exempted, data collection can commence. Prior development of a data collection tool will greatly enhance the efficiency of this process, facilitating both IRB approval and the subsequent data analysis. Subject enrollment can also be improved with use of a trained research assistant. This problem may be circumvented through creation of an “academic associate program,” which integrates EM research with undergraduate education. 35

Research Funding

Resident research projects usually require little external funding. On occasion, additional costs may be incurred to help pay for statistical analysis, or the purchase of required equipment. 36 Internal sources, as well as the Emergency Medicine Foundation 37 and the SAEM Foundation 38 represent potential sources for funding.

Presentation and Publication

Once the data have been collected and analyzed, the researcher should consider how the results will be disseminated. The annual meeting of SAEM, the Research Forum at the American College of Emergency Physicians’ annual scientific assembly, and the Annual Assembly of the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine (CORD) represent the premier locales for presentation of EM research. 39

Ideally, the resident research experience should lead to a manuscript, although the lack of immediate publication must not be interpreted as failure. Only 40% of EM abstracts go on to become full article publications. 15 , 40 Most manuscripts are published 1–2 years after initial presentation. 17 Appropriate journal selection for submission enhances the likelihood of success, as does a thorough understanding of manuscript preparation techniques and review criteria. 41 – 43

While any research resultant from a resident’s scholarly project is unlikely to have the impact of Laënnec’s stethoscope, EM residents may still gain much from engaging in clinical research. For some, it will light an investigative fire that will burn for an entire career. At the least, resident research projects can provide an opportunity to explore issues central to the practice of EM, helping the resident to become a more well-rounded physician.

Effect of Intravenous or Intraosseous Calcium vs Saline on Return of Spontaneous Circulation in Adults With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Review by Sierra F. Williams, MS, OMS-IV

This double-blind, randomized clinical trial sought to determine whether administration of calcium during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) improves return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in adults. In this trial, 397 adult patients were randomized to receive up to 2 intravenous or intraosseous doses of 5 mmol of calcium chloride (n = 197) or saline (n = 200). A dose of calcium chloride or saline was administered immediately following a dose of epinephrine. The primary outcome of the study was sustained ROSC (defined as ROSC without need for further CPR for 20 minutes), while the secondary outcome included survival and a favorable neurological outcome at 30 and 90 days, with a modified Rankin Scale score of 0-3. The trial was stopped early due to concerns of harm in the calcium group. Sustained ROSC was achieved in 19% of patients in the calcium group and 27% in the saline group (risk ratio, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.49 to 1.03]; risk difference, −7.6% [95% CI, −16% to 0.8%]; p=0.09). At 30 days, 5.2% of patients in the calcium group survived compared to 9.1% of patients in the saline group (risk ratio, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.27 to 1.18]; risk difference, −3.9% [95% CI, −9.4% to 1.3%]; p=0.17). 3.6% of patients in the calcium group reached a favorable neurological outcome compared to 7.6% of patients in the saline group (risk ratio, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.20 to 1.12]; risk difference, −4.0% [95% CI, −8.9% to 0.7%]; p=0.12). The study showed that administration of calcium during OHCA in adults did not improve sustained ROSC and can potentially cause harm.

Critique and Implications for Practice Prior to the COCA trial, evidence regarding the use of calcium in OHCA has been conflicting and lacking. However, guidelines often continue to recommend its use. There is sufficient evidence to support the use of calcium in select patient populations that were not included in this study, such as hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, and CCB toxicity. Although the results were not statistically significant due to the low power of the study, the use of calcium in OHCA appears to be correlated with patient harm that cannot be ignored. This indicates that calcium in OHCA is not suitable for all patients and should not be used routinely. It is also important to keep in mind that there has been no study to date to demonstrate that a single medication administered during cardiac arrest made a difference in survival with a favorable neurological outcome. Early, high-quality CPR in addition to early defibrillation in the appropriate patients are the only 2 treatments that have shown improvement in these outcomes.*

Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Syndromic Surveillance Program Data to Monitor Trends in U.S. Emergency Department Visits for Firearm Injuries, 2018 to 2019

Review by Muhammad Waseem, MD, MS & David Gordon, MS3

The authors utilized a retrospective analysis of the CDC National Syndromic Surveillance Program dataset to analyze near-real time data between January 2018 and December 2019, capturing 215 million ED visits. The study used a set of ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes and chief complaint keywords to filter for firearm injury records. Of those visits, 132,767 were firearm related (61.6 per 100,000 ED visits). This study revealed that males aged 15-24 had higher firearm injury-related ED visit rates relative to other demographic age groups. Overall, the rate of fire-arm related injury increased for all age groups between 15 and 64 years over the interval studied. Analyzed by region, the rate of ED visits for firearm injury significantly increased in the northeast, southeast, and southwest regions. These results are consistent with other studies but were able to be reported with less lag due to the study’s near real time surveillance methods.

Critique and Implications for Practice Firearm-related injury is a major public health issue, but there is lag between when ED visits relating to firearm injury occur and when traditional reports for firearm injury are captured. This study highlights the epidemiology of firearm-related visits to the emergency department, raising awareness of the problem and noting the need for prevention strategies. The rate of firearm-related injury and presentation to the ED is only increasing. Awareness of the epidemiology of firearm injury can help target community-based public health violence prevention, facilitate training, and guide rapid response strategies. On a systems level, this method analysis can also inform resource allocation, particularly identifying where firearm visits make up a substantial portion of ED visits. In contrast to a typical 2-year data lag from traditional ED surveillance systems used to monitor firearm injury ED visits, this study utilized near-real time electronic medical record national surveillance data. Where data is available, incorporating methods that leverage real-time surveillance could provide further insight into other clinical applications as well.

Effect of Use of a Bougie vs Endotracheal Tube with Stylet on Successful Intubation on the First Attempt Among Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Tracheal Intubation: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Review by Elisa Quince DO, MS

This multicenter, randomized clinical trial assessed if utilizing a bougie or an endotracheal tube with stylet would increase the likelihood of success on the first attempt. In this study, referred to as the “BOUGIE” trial, 1,102 critically ill adults who required tracheal intubation were randomly assigned the utilization of a bougie or endotracheal tube with a stylet. The study found an 80% success rate with the utilization of the bougie versus 83% with a stylet. Overall, the study found that using a bougie did not significantly increase the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt compared to using an endotracheal tube with a stylet.

Critique and Implications for Practice This study challenges the perception that a provider should primarily use a bougie during difficult intubations. This perception was shaped by previous observational studies and 1 RCT concluding that using a bougie was associated with increased incidence of first-attempt intubation. It encourages providers to focus more on utilizing the method the operator is most comfortable with at that time. When comparing the BEAM trial to this study, one difference is that the BEAM trial was limited to one single emergency department in Hennepin County Medical Center, while the BOUGIE trial received data from 7 different emergency departments and 8 ICUs in the United States. Differences in training styles and experiences can lead to the differences seen in the results of these studies but can lead to the implication that for difficult intubations, how one is trained can dictate comfort level, and comfort level can lead to successful intubation on the first attempt.

Effect of Amoxicillin Dose and Treatment Duration on the Need for Antibiotic Re-treatment in Children with Community-Acquired Pneumonia: The CAP-IT Randomized Clinical Trial

Review by David Leon, MD

This study is a multi-center 2x2 RCT with children who required amoxicillin for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), randomized to receive either 35-50 mg/kg/d or 70-90 mg/kg/d of amoxicillin for a treatment duration of 3 or 7 days. The primary outcome was if it was clinically indicated to re-treat with antibiotics for respiratory infection within 28 days after randomization. There was no significant difference between the high- and low-dose groups, nor the 3-day vs 7-day groups. The secondary outcomes addressed CAP-related symptom severity. Cough duration was slightly prolonged in the 3-day course group. No significant interaction was noted between dose and duration groups. Outpatient treatment of CAP in children with a lower dose of amoxicillin was noninferior to traditional high-dose amoxicillin, and 3-days of antibiotics was noninferior to 7-days, with respect to the need for antibiotic retreatment within a month.

Critique and Implications for Practice For children with mild to moderate CAP who are not in need of significant support, such as those appropriate for discharge or only requiring overnight observation, it seems adequate to treat with both lower dose and shorter course of antibiotics. However, this data may not be applicable to children with severe CAP. Local antibiogram and resistance must be considered given that the study only included amoxicillin. This is of particular interest as there was a nationwide shortage of amoxicillin this year.

CT or Invasive Coronary Angiography in Stable Chest Pain

Review by Sandra Gad, MSc

Randomly assigned 3,561 patients (56.2% female), follow-up was complete for 3523 (98.9%). Major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 2.1% in the CT group and in 3% of the ICA group (hazard ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46 to 1.07; P=0.10). Major procedure-related complications occurred in 0.5% of the CT group and in 1.9% of the ICA group (hazard ratio, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.55). Angina during the final four weeks of follow-up was reported in 8.8% of the patients in the CT group and 7.5% of those in the ICA group (odds ratio, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.92 to 1.48). The DISCHARGE trial group found that the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events did not differ between the CT group and the invasive coronary angiography group in patients with stable chest pain.

Critique and Implications for Practice CT can be a reliable option with similar diagnostic abilities to ICA when diagnosing CAD in patients with stable chest pain. Using CT can significantly reduce patients’ concerns regarding the invasive nature of ICA, as well as alleviate the financial burden associated with ICA. Further, CT can speed up diagnosis and ensure timely treatment.

Sodium Bicarbonate Use During Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Secondary Analysis of the ICU-RESUScitation Project Trial

Review by Nathan Dreyfus, MD

This multi-center, retrospective cohort analysis compared the outcomes of pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest cases (p-IHCA) between patients who received intra-resuscitation sodium bicarbonate and those who did not. Children analyzed were those who received chest compressions between ages =>37 weeks post-conceptual age and <= 18 years between October 2016 to March 2021. Various child characteristics including their Pediatric Risk of Mortality score (PRISM) and Vasoactive Inotropic Score (VIS) were collected across 10 clinical sites. The main outcome of investigation was the duration of survival to hospital discharge. Other outcomes included ROSC, neurological outcomes, and presence of new morbidity. It was shown that sodium bicarbonate was used more in children with cardiac diagnoses, increased severity of illness and longer CPR duration. Of 1,100 CPR events, use of sodium bicarbonate was associated with lower rates of survival to hospital discharge and discharge with favorable neurologic outcomes.

Critique and Implications for Practice While the propensity-weighted model in this study omits several potential confounders, the results echo similar recent papers in adult populations providing evidence against the routine or indiscriminate use of sodium bicarbonate for cardiac arrest. One limitation is that sodium bicarbonate use was more common in medical and surgical cardiac patients than non-cardiac patients, as well as with children with higher PRISM and VIS scores which could contribute to the poorer outcomes seen. Intra-arrest lab values such as pH were not analyzed so it is unknown how sodium bicarbonate would play a role for severe intra-arrest metabolic acidosis. Also, the time to first sodium bicarbonate administration was not analyzed which could pose limitations. Although sodium bicarbonate remains a part of the ACLS and PALS guidelines for cardiac arrest, its utility is not evidence-based per this study as well as per other studies. I will be thoughtful about when I choose to administer sodium bicarbonate during code situations, as this study suggests there might even be harm in doing so.

One and Done Epinephrine in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest? Outcomes in a Multiagency United States Study

Review by Luke Wohlford, MD, MPH

A pre- and post-intervention study investigating patient outcomes when comparing the existing protocol of epinephrine every 3-5 minutes in non-traumatic cardiac arrest to a 1-time epinephrine dosing protocol. Adults included in this study among 5 North Carolina EMS agencies were assessed for survival to hospital discharge and ROSC pre- and post-implementation. After controlling for patient factors, the single-dose approach demonstrated comparable survival to discharge rates (adjusted odds ratio 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.77–1.29), but with lower rates of ROSC (adjusted odds ratio 0.58, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.72). With neurological outcomes as the more patient-centered outcome, an argument can be made about the validity of a 1-time epinephrine dosing protocol.

Critique and Implications for Practice Further work and additional studies may need to be done to further elucidate neurological outcomes among those with survival to hospital discharge, this study demonstrates equipoise with a 1-time epinephrine dosing protocol that may allow higher proportions of time spent on CPR during resuscitations and free up more resources for high-quality cardiac arrest care.

Performance of the Paracetamol-Aminotransferase Multiplication Product in Risk Stratification After Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) Poisoning: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Review by Mason Jackson, MD

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the acetaminophen cross-product as a marker of hepatotoxicity. The cross product is calculated by multiplying the higher of the aminotransferases (AST or ALT) by the acetaminophen concentration and can be used to determine hepatotoxicity risk in scenarios excluded by the original acetaminophen overdose studies, which primarily looked at single dose, acute and timed overdoses. Target measurements were a lower threshold of 1,500 and upper threshold of 10,000. When used as a diagnostic predictor of hepatotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity in staggered ingestions, and ingestions older than 8 hours, the cross product produced a lower limit OR of 31 to 85 and a higher limit OR of 99 to 367. This demonstrates that the acetaminophen cross product is a strong diagnostic tool that can aid the emergency physician in acute acetaminophen overdose alongside the Rumack-Mathew nomogram, generating profound changes in diagnostic certainty.

Critique and Implications for Practice In patients presenting with staggered overdoses or delayed presentation of an acetaminophen overdose, utilization of the cross product will help decide the need for N-acetyl cysteine in the ED. It serves as a useful marker for intensivists and toxicologists caring for these patients on inpatient services as well.

Communicating Diagnostic Uncertainty at Emergency Department Discharge: A Simulation-Based Mastery Learning Randomized Trial

Review by Hannah Seyller, MD , and Kay Nicole Tipton, DO, MS

This multi-center randomized control trial examined the ability of resident physicians to communicate diagnostic uncertainty through simulated patient encounters. Though many patients leave the ED without a formal diagnosis, residents have little training communicating diagnostic uncertainty to their patients.

In this trial, 109 residents participated in a simulation-based learning curriculum that included online modules, a mobile learning application, and 3 simulated telehealth practice sessions with a standardized patient. Participants were divided into immediate and delayed intervention groups, which did not receive the intervention curriculum until after the second patient encounter. The primary outcome was each physician’s “mastery” of communicating diagnostic uncertainty after the second encounter based on the Uncertainty Communication Checklist.

Regardless of training site or stage of training, residents in the immediate access group showed an increased mastery compared to the delayed group, who had not yet received the intervention. Two-thirds of participants felt the curriculum increased their communication skills, and 60-65% said they applied skills they learned to their clinical practice. Limitations include unblinded participants and internal development of the objective scoring tool used to determine mastery.

Critique and Implications for Practice Residents are often not properly trained on how to communicate diagnostic uncertainty with patients. This article provides a framework that can be implemented in current or future practice within residencies to improve communication at discharge when the exact cause of patients’ symptoms remains unknown. Although the article did demonstrate a difference between early and late intervention groups within the measurement of the study, it did not show a difference when translated to clinical practice. Further studies will need to be performed to evaluate how this framework and others can affect clinical practice in emergency departments.

Effect of Moderate vs. Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia on Mortality and Neurologic Outcomes in Comatose Survivors of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. The CAPITAL CHILL Randomized Clinical Trial

Review by Charles Sanky, MD, MPH

This single-center, double-blinded, stratified, randomized-controlled, clinical superiority trial was the first study to compare hypothermia at 31°C with 34°C in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It sought to determine whether this difference in moderate versus mild hypothermia improved clinical outcomes in comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Patients were randomly assigned to temperature management with a target body temperature of 31 °C (n = 193) or 34 °C (n = 196) for a period of 24 hours. Outcomes included all-cause mortality, ICU length of stay, neurological outcome, and adverse effects. This study found no significant difference in the composite of mortality and poor neurological outcome, occurring in 48.4% (31°C group) and 45.4% (34°C group), 95% CI, −7.2% to 13.2%; P = 0.56. However, the 31°C group had a 3-day longer median length of stay in the ICU (10 vs. 7 days; 95% CI -1.2 to 4.1; P=0.004).

Critique and Implications for Practice Numerous studies have suggested that going beyond the targeted temperature management of 32 to 36 degrees, the updated post-cardiac arrest TTM guidelines. Studies have consequently attempted to determine what the optimal temperature might be, including the much larger TTM trial in 2021, which did not find a difference in normothermia versus hypothermia. Still, the impact on ICU length of stay is concerning, possibly reflecting that moderate hypothermia could mask fevers that otherwise would have received treatment. This study may not change my practice yet but is worth considering in the wake of new ACLS guidelines regarding TTM.

A New Multi-Disciplinary Approach Supported by Accident and Field Test Data to Optimize Survival Chances in Rescue and First Aid of Avalanche Patients

Review by Chelsea McAuslan, MS4

This retrospective analysis of 1070 full avalanche burials from accident databases and large prospective field test datasets were used to develop evidence-based algorithms exclusively for the avalanche rescue environment. AvaLife provides a holistic and tailor-made tool for avalanche first aid with its consideration of adapted sequence of actions, inclusion of rescue tactical considerations, advice for cases with multiple burials where there is a shortage of resources, considerations of using recovered subjects as a resource in the ongoing rescue, the adapted definition of “injuries incompatible with life,” reasoning behind the importance of rescue breaths, and the updated BLS iCPR algorithm.

Critique and Implications for Practice This study highlights the method AvaLife in the rescue and treatment of patients trapped from the effects of an avalanche. It provides ALS and BLS providers with the methods of triage to allow for the best chances of survival for patients who undergo entrapment. The principle of the “greatest good for the greatest number” is shown crucial in these cases of situational resource shortage. Rescuers must analyze the environment, take into consideration the forces that could prolong excavation, and proceed with appropriate survival techniques according to AvaLife Protocol in patients with injuries resulting from avalanche and burial.

The use of the word "quiet" in the emergency department is not associated with patient volume: A randomized controlled trial

Review by David Gordon, MS3

This randomized control trial evaluates if hearing the word “quiet” bears any change in patient volume and perception of the business of an ED shift. In this trial, 506 staff surveys were collected over a sample of 47 shifts. For each, a researcher approached staff members with a greeting. If the day were randomized to the intervention, the researcher asked, “Has it been quiet in here?” Three hours later, the researcher returned to the staff member to administer the survey, which assessed crowdedness of ED, feelings toward patient volume entering ED, and the belief that the word quiet affects business of the day. There was no association between the word “quiet” and increased patient volumes. However, staff members who perceived that the word “quiet” influenced patient volumes reported a perception of a more crowded ED with more patients after hearing the word “quiet.” Some staff members provided qualitative responses that shifts had “worsened” following hearing the word “quiet,” citing acutely ill patient cases they were managing.

Critique and Implications for Practice Throughout an ED shift, someone might approach an ED staff member and ask if the day is a “quiet” day. ED providers care for patients as they enter the department, but the word “quiet” does not influence patient volume. Though this study was conducted at a single site, the methodology of the study provides a robust analysis to address a common concern among emergency department staff. Staff members who feel as though there is an increase in ED volume and business following hearing the word “quiet” likely have a preconceived belief that this is true. A staff member’s initial preconceived notions of factors that trigger business within the ED may contribute to their perceptions of the ED shift. Generalizing on the study’s results, if staff adopts a mindset that the word “quiet” does not affect patient volumes, they may perceive decreased business over the course of the shift.

Introduction: Our objective was to identify trends and examine the characteristics of the top 100 cited articles in emergency medicine (EM) journals.

Methods: Scopus Library database was queried to determine the citations of the top 100 EM articles. A second database (Google Scholar) was used to gather the following information: number of authors, publication year, journal name, impact factor, country of origin, and article type (original article, review article, conference paper, or editorial). The top 100 cited articles were selected and analyzed by 2 independent investigators.

Results: We identified 100 top-cited articles published in 6 EM journals, led by Annals of Emergency Medicine (65) and American Journal of Emergency Medicine (15). All top-cited articles were published between 1980 and 2009. The common areas of study were categorized as cardiovascular medicine, emergency department administration, toxicology, pain medicine, pediatrics, traumatology, and resuscitation. A statistically significant association was found between the journal impact factor and the number of top 100 cited articles (P < .005).

Conclusion: The top-cited articles published in EM journals help us recognize the quality of the works, discoveries, and trends steering EM. Our analysis provides an insight to the prevalent areas of study being cited within our field of practice.

Editorial on the Research Topic Emergency and critical care of severely injured patients

Introduction

Severe trauma is among the leading causes of death and morbidity in many age groups around the world. The chain of survival in critically ill injured patients starts on the scene, continues in the emergency department, and carries on in the first surgical phase and in the intensive care unit. The optimal care of such patients depends on both medical treatment and organizational management. Therefore, it is essential to examine both of these aspects if healthcare systems are to optimize the care of critically ill trauma patients in different parts of the world.

Provision of the best available medical care for severely injured patients might result in suboptimal outcomes if prehospital care, or any link in the path of the patients through the chain of survival, is not of similarly high quality. A close look at the various challenges faced by trauma systems—and their potential solutions—in different regions of the world will enable the identification of existing short-comings and may facilitate the exchange of relevant solutions and possible improvements to processes. Both unmet surgical needs and the cost effectiveness of surgical intervention should be addressed and potential solutions should be suggested, including those related to medical, training, and organizational issues.

In emergency and intensive care, many aspects of care are specific to trauma patients, and so general recommendations and guidelines may not cover the precise needs of injured patients in these settings. Furthermore, many treatment options are currently under scientific discussion. Therefore, new research results and a critical appraisal of the relevant up-to-date knowledge is provided to the readers herein.

Non-technical skills and teamwork

A team of experts does not necessarily make an expert team. Starting from this observation, Alexandrino et al. reviewed some of the most important non-technical skills that are required not only in the emergency department, but also in the operating room, and they proposed ways to improve perioperative communication. Furthermore, they give a short appraisal of existing training courses.

Interhospital transfer

The indication and decision of when to transfer a severely injured patient from one to another hospital are complex. Spering et al. described processes followed for the common, countrywide practice of the interhospital transfer of severely injured patients within a highly developed national network of trauma centers. In addition to their epidemiological overview, they were able to identify major factors that resulted in such a transfer. They also presented data indicating that the introduction of a trauma network resulted in an improved transfer policy.

Anticoagulant and antithrombotic drugs

With an increasingly active aging population, greater numbers of injured patients requiring anticoagulant or antithrombotic treatment are presenting challenges to emergency and surgical teams. One study ( Yamaji et al. ) investigated the impacts of pre-trauma anticoagulant and antithrombotic treatment on mortality in patients with major trauma. They identified differences in outcomes between patients treated with anticoagulant vs. antithrombotic drugs. In this context, a registry study ( Fitschen-Oestern et al. ) focusing on an elderly population analyzed the effects of the application of tranexamic acid on outcomes in patients who were older than 50 years and receiving pre-existing treatment with anticoagulant or antithrombotic medication. In a third study ( Schindler et al. ), a high rate of intracranial bleeding was observed in elderly patients who were receiving anticoagulant or antithrombotic treatment before experiencing a low fall. As this observation was also made in asymptomatic patients, the findings hinted at the necessity of performing a head-CT scan in all such patients.

Bleeding control and fracture management

Endovascular intervention techniques may significantly improve bleeding control and outcomes in severely injured patients. However, they require excellent infrastructure and organization, as delayed processes and other obstacles may diminish their potential benefits. Mizuno et al. analyzed the role of a time delay in transcatheter embolization in patients with pelvic fracture, and their findings substantiated the importance of fast intervention.

The Zürich group of Kalbas et al. presented a review and analysis of registry data that examined the best way to decide on the timing of surgical fracture stabilization in patients with multiple injuries. They discussed the values of different parameters and scores, and they propose the use of a decision tree.

Ventilation and early mobilization

Ventilation and mobilization are central interventions during the intensive care treatment of severely injured patients. Although the general guidelines of ventilatory support do also apply to trauma patients, there may be specific conditions (e.g., pulmonary contusion, inhalation injury) that require more individualized treatment. Meregildo-Rodríguez et al. looked at the ventilation of patients with cervical spinal cord injury who may have specific requirements due to the lack of a primary lung injury and a lack of respiratory-muscle activity. The authors presented a systematic review with a special focus on tidal volumes.

The role and potential advantages of early mobilization in ventilated patients is still a Research Topic under discussion. Wang et al. present another meta-analysis, this time including only randomized controlled trials. They suggested taking a differentiated view with respect to effects on different outcome parameters.

Prediction and quality indicators

Early identification of patients at increased risk of developing complications may help to enable stratification of patients into specific monitoring or treatment pathways, or for potential inclusion in studies trialing novel therapies. In a single-center study ( Xu et al. ), a predictive model for the “Persistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolism Syndrome” was developed and evaluated in trauma patients using parameters that are easily obtained. A nomogram for the calculation of risk was presented.

As has already been stressed in another manuscript on this Research Topic, traumatic brain injuries after low falls in the elderly population is of special interest and concern. It would, therefore, be helpful if specific predictors could be used to indicate the likely treatment courses, outcomes, and resource requirements of such patients. The research group of Forssten et al. identified five predictors of complications and mortality in elderly patients presenting with moderate (Glasgow Coma Scale 9–13) traumatic brain injury after ground-level falls through analyzing information from the database of the American College of Surgeons' Trauma Quality Improvement Program.

Mortality is the primary outcome measure in severely injured trauma victims, with excellent methods available for risk adjustment. However, quality indicators for survivors are rare, and most of those that exist lack validated tools for risk adjustments to improve comparability. Using data from the German Trauma Registry, Lefering et al. developed a model that predicts the length of stay of trauma-injury survivors; after using a dataset describing 108,175 patients, they validated the model in another dataset of more than 72,000 patients. They describe the prediction of patient requirements for ICU treatment (with a duration of more than 1 week) and length of ICU stay for these long-term patients. Their results suggest that this tool may be useful for future benchmarking.

The manuscripts presented on our Research Topic cover a wide range of contributions on subjects that appear to be of general interest for providers of care in the emergency departments, early surgical management, and intensive care treatment in addition to describing prediction models and indicators that may be used for quality control and benchmarking. We hope that readers will gain interesting and helpful information and insights for their own clinical practice and/or stimuli for their own research.

Minnesota mental health patients stay 25 hours longer than necessary in ER because of shortages

by Jeremy Olson, Star Tribune

hospital

When patients in mental health crises get stuck in Minnesota's emergency rooms, they stay 25 hours longer on average than necessary—taking up hospital space as well as the time of doctors and nurses, who could otherwise focus on the next emergencies.

Researchers documented the length of these delays by studying patient activity over 14 days last fall at more than 30 Minnesota hospitals, but they also provided vital evidence about which patients were most likely to suffer delays, and why.

Knowing which patients are at risk can help the state come up with treatments that target this population and prevent mental health crises and hospital visits , said Kristin Dillon, a co-author from Wilder Research, which released the report with the Minnesota Department of Health.

Delays for patients "in a hospital setting when they can be discharged is harmful to patients, caregivers, hospital staff and the health care system ," she said. "However, we cannot take steps to effectively address these discharge delays without understanding the underlying reasons behind the delays."

Monday's findings were presented to an advisory council created last year to reduce delays in care and the worsening problem of ER and hospital overcrowding in Minnesota.

Staffing and bed shortages at nursing homes and rehabilitation centers have worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving hospitals stuck with frail, elderly patients on their inpatient floors. Twin Cities ERs have treated patients in hallway gurneys at peak times when they have run out of beds. But these delays in many ways compounded the longstanding problem of patients in mental health crises being boarded in ERs with nowhere to go.

Hospital inpatient psychiatric units were largely full during the study, and they couldn't take new patients from ERs until they found space to discharge their existing patients to residential or outpatient treatment programs. The study observed 182 patients in hospital psychiatric units whose discharges were delayed, and on average it took eight days longer than necessary to move them.

The problem was more complex than patients waiting for openings in treatment programs, though. One in five patients stuck in inpatient units was delayed by court decisions over civil commitments, or decisions over their eligibility for insurance benefits or waiver programs, the study showed.

Among patients stuck in ERs, only six in 10 needed inpatient hospital care. The rest were stuck for other reasons, including delays in arranging transportation home or in getting outpatient care lined up. A third of the delayed patients went straight home from the ERs.

M Health Fairview has been confronting the problem, opening a so-called EmPATH unit at its hospital in Edina that provides a relaxed environment and transitional care for patients who can be moved from the ER. The health system is also partnering with for-profit Acadia Healthcare to reopen the Bethesda Hospital campus in St. Paul as a psychiatric facility next year.

In some ways, the delays published in the report underestimated the problem. Delays were only calculated for patients who were discharged during the two-week study. About 5% of the ER patients had yet to be discharged by the end, and some spent the entire two weeks in care. Some hospitals have endured extreme cases, such as the boarding of a child with behavioral problems for months at Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia.

State lawmakers were so concerned by the delays in 2022 that they waived Minnesota's hospital construction moratorium through 2027 for any provider looking to add psychiatric capacity. However, the study makes it clear that the greatest need is in community and preventive treatment programs that keep people from crises, said Dr. Will Nicholson, vice president of medical affairs for Fairview's East Metro hospitals.

"We can take better care of people when we can prevent illness, we can get upstream," he said.

Minnesota has been locked for two decades in a chicken-egg debate about whether to spend limited dollars on more inpatient beds, or preventive programs to try to reduce the need for those beds. State health economists blocked a proposal in 2008 by then-named Prairie St. John's to build a psychiatric hospital in Woodbury, based largely on the argument that prevention programs were more needed. The provider later became known as PrairieCare and built and expanded a pediatric psychiatric hospital in Brooklyn Park.

More beds aren't the only solution at a time of workforce shortages, said Sue Abderholden, who directs the Minnesota chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Minnesota previously tackled the mental health treatment shortage by creating a stepdown level of care called intensive residential treatment services to ease the pressure on hospitals. The state has about 60 of them operating, but many can't find enough staff and are operating well below their 16-bed capacities, she said.

The legislature this year OK'd funding for counselors who could check on patients who were showing the first signs of struggling—perhaps by skipping medication doses or appointments, Abderholden said. "We're trying to get way before a crisis, before you need an ER, before you need a crisis team."

We are actively working to increase the diversity of our department, which is expressed in many forms including race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, age, and (dis)ability status.

Further, we are working actively to challenge and respond to bias, harassment, and discrimination. We are pursuing deliberate efforts to ensure that the Department of Emergency Medicine is a place where differences are welcomed, different perspectives are respectfully heard, and where every individual feels a sense of belonging. In addition, IU School of Medicine offers focused, systematic and sustained programs that are aligned with three foundational pillars: representational diversity, inclusive working and learning environment, and cultural competence.

This is important work because we know that a more diverse workforce leads to better outcomes with decision making and patient care.

Thesis Topics for MD/MS and DNB

It’s a junior resident’s nightmare to search for appropriate thesis topics for MD/MS and DNB. While we all know the first year of residency in any medical college is a period when the junior residents are all overburdened with work. It’s not uncommon to see Junior Residents not getting time to eat, shave or even take bath. In this demanding period looking for an appropriate thesis topics for MD/MS and DNB is another task that needs to be performed by Junior Residents. Many times Junior Residents end up selecting topics that they later regret selecting. 

In this regard i vividly remember my co-resident. When i joined MD radiology one of co-resident took a topic on cardiac MRI in thalassemia. Cardiac MRI facility was not available in our institute and then for this she had an agreement with a private diagnostic center for cardiac MRI at concessional rates. After some days the management of that private diagnostic center changed and new management refused to do cardiac MRI at concessional rates and all hell broke. She suffered a lot because she didn’t think at the time of choosing thesis topic that cardiac MRI was not available in our department. So carefully choosing a thesis topic is a must. 

The topics for MD/MS and DNB should be important but not difficult. And for this you have to go through at least 400-500 thesis topics for MD/MS/DNB before selecting one.  Its not possible to search for thesis topics in libraries, over the internet, and everywhere else because of  shortage of time.

Taking into consideration all these difficulties faced by junior residents we have painstakingly collected more than 50,000+ thesis topics for MD/MS/DNB of all broad specialty subjects. That comes to an average of 3000 thesis topics per subject. And it’s not over here we are continuously updating the list so that as and when new topics emerge on the horizon we will go on adding them.

This website will give you a list of all the relevant thesis topics in one place and it will be very hard for you to find any thesis topic outside this list. If there is a good thesis topic for MD/MS and DNB then it will be on this list. Do check the list of conventional as well as emerging Thesis Topics.

We wish you all the best in choosing appropriate thesis topics for MD/MS and DNB.

Disclaimer!

There are many methods of sample size determination. It is one of the first hurdle when someone starts writing a thesis. I have tried to give simplest way of determination of sample size. You need to show the method to your PG teacher before you include this method in your thesis. First confirm from your PG teacher and then only proceed.
