To compare implementation and effectiveness of the Maternal Fetal Triage Index (MFTI) in an urban academic hospital and a suburban private hospital....
A pre-/postintervention, hybrid Type 3 effectiveness-implementation study design was used. Data collected 2 months preceding the intervention served as preintervention data. The MFTI was implemented f...
The volume of and various reasons women present for emergency evaluation on maternity units requires systematic triage. Women are typically seen based on when they arrive with limited exceptions, rath...
Medical records of pregnant women presenting for emergency evaluation and physician and nurse documentation were used for data collection....
The intervention was triage with the MFTI, acuity level assignment, and screenings within predetermined time frames. Fidelity to protocols and the timeliness of nurse contact and screenings were measu...
Implementation across all shifts was associated with greater adherence. The MFTI was associated with a significant reduction in the time from arrival to registered nurse contact for all acuity levels ...
This project provides a benchmark for quality obstetric triage and a roadmap for further exploration of the MFTI's clinical impact. Through systematic triage, the MFTI establishes effective prioritiza...
The intensive care unit (ICU) is a finite and expensive resource with demand not infrequently exceeding capacity. Understanding ICU capacity strain is essential to gain situational awareness. Increase...
Canadian patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) typically undergo a triage process where they are assessed by a specially trained nurse and assigned a Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (C...
We enrolled a convenience sample of ambulatory ED patients aged 17 years or older who presented with chief complaints of chest pain, abdominal pain, breathing problems, or musculoskeletal pain. Partic...
A total of 223 patients were included in our analysis. Of these, 32 (14.3%) presented with chest pain, 25 (11.2%) with shortness of breath, 75 (33.6%) with abdominal pain, and 91 (40.8%) with musculos...
Self-triage through use of an AGST or VAS tool is inaccurate compared to the established standard of nurse-driven triage. Although existing literature exists which suggests that self-triage tools deve...
Direct transportation to a thrombectomy-capable intervention center is beneficial for patients with ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO), but can delay intravenous thrombolytics (IVT). ...
We used data from two prospective cohort studies in the Netherlands: the Leiden Prehospital Stroke Study and the PRESTO study. We included stroke code patients within 6 h from symptom onset. We modele...
We included 1798 stroke code patients from four ambulance regions. Per region, overtriage ranged from 1-13% (RACE triage) and 3-15% (personalized tool). Reduction of delay to EVT varied by region betw...
In this modeling study, we showed that prehospital triage reduced time to EVT without disproportionate IVT delay, compared to a drip-and-ship strategy. The effect of triage strategies and the associat...
In this study, we aimed to validate the performance of the PAX1 and JAM3 methylation (PAX1...
The triage performance of liquid-based cytology (LBC) and the PAX1...
In total, 1851 participants had cervical histological outcomes and were included in the analysis. The sensitivity/specificity of the LBC test results with atypical squamous cells of undetermined signi...
In non-16/18 hrHPV(+) women, PAX1...
This process evaluation aims at identifying the facilitators and inhibitors that influenced the successful uptake of a nurse-led triage system streaming low-risk patients from an emergency department ...
Semi-structured interviews with ED nurses (n = 12), ED doctors (n = 6) from the ED of a Belgian general hospital and GPs (n = 5) affiliated with the adjacent GP cooperative (GPC). The process evaluati...
Through a deductive framework, facilitators and inhibitors could be identified on three levels: the organisational, group and individual level. Main inhibitors are the degree of risk aversion of indiv...
Based on the process evaluation we can conclude that a consensus exists among stakeholders that the ED Nurses are considered ideally positioned to perform the triage of walk-in patients, although a ce...
Accurate assessment and prompt management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a complex process for emergency department (ED) nurses and has variable clinical outcomes. The aim of the pr...
In this quasi-experimental study, a pretest-posttest group of 24 nurses were included by convenience sampling method and 960 patients with ACS were selected by sequential sampling during the pre-inter...
The overall mean score of the triage nurses' practice and its subscales, including Primary monitoring and assessment, cardiovascular risk factors assessment, evaluation of coronary heart disease (CHD)...
The development of a cardiac triage-specific educational program could improve the performance of nurses in the evaluation and management of patients with ACS, but had no effect on the triage outcomes...
The objective was to evaluate whether the error rate in the application of the triage system decreased after the introduction of daily auditing, and it was also evaluated if the agreement rate between...
A quasi-experimental study was performed with a pre-post design, between June 2019 and June 2021 in one emergency department....
The accuracy and error rate of triage in the pre- and post-intervention period were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the relationships betwe...
Nine hundred four patients were enrolled in the pre-intervention period and 869 in the post-intervention period. The error rate in the pre-intervention period was 23.3% and in the post-intervention pe...
Daily auditing is a clinical procedure that improves the nurse's application of the triage system. Daily auditing has reduced errors by the nurse, improving performance and concordance with the physic...
Triage systems are a key point for the stratification of the priority level of patients and it is therefore evident that they maintain high-quality standards. Through the practice of daily auditing, n...
The study did not involve any patients during its conduction....
The aim of this study was to perform a narrative review of the leading pediatric triage systems in emergency departments (EDs)....
Articles published between 1999 and 2019 were identified by searching the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed databases using the keywords "pediatric triage", "pediatric assessment tools", and "emergency depa...
A total of 105 articles on pediatric emergency triage systems in 12 countries were evaluated. Triage systems were divided into two groups: color-stratified triage systems and alert systems. The color-...
These are fundamental tools for risk classification of patients seeking treatment in EDs. Not all triage systems have been assessed for validity and reliability; nor are they well suited for all regio...
Despite advances in the delivery of trauma care, trauma remains the leading cause of death amongst the pediatric population within the United States and is one of the leading causes of death in childr...
