Implementation Of Viz.Ai Augmented Intelligence Software To Reduce Door To Puncture Times And Patient Outcomes At A Comprehensive Stroke Center, Cody Bryant, Brandon Womack, Mason Patel, Sanjay Sharma

North Texas GME Research Forum 2024

Introduction: Endovascular therapy (EVT) in the form of mechanical thrombectomy is the mainstay of treatment for acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic stroke, but its efficacy is highly time sensitive. It is crucial that stroke centers continue to implement process improvements that aim to streamline stroke workflow. Viz.AI is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to automatically detect LVOs with computed tomography (CT) imaging. It provides immediate access to the CT images as well as a platform for centralized communication through the mobile application. We sought to determine if the implementation of Viz.AI at our comprehensive stroke center improved stroke …

Nursing Care During Natural Disasters, War Zones, And Mass Casualty Incidents: Implications For An Educational And Professional Overhaul, Erin N. White

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Emergency situations around the world are inevitable. Any nurse who practices for any period of time is sure to encounter situations like these. Their hospital may be flooded with traumatic and severely life-threatening patient cases where supplies can become scarce. In these situations, a nurse and all other healthcare personnel are expected to act effectively, efficiently and in a highly organized way. Despite this need, many hospitals fail to implement effective disaster preparedness programs and plans. This leaves healthcare workers at a loss for how to treat patients, communicate within and outside of the hospital, coordinate transport, and all the …

Heterogeneity In The Role Of Emergency Physicians And Treatment Of Acute Atrial Fibrillation In Emergency Departments— Results Of The International Atrial Fibrillation Background (Afib) Study, Markus Holmberg, Ville Hällberg, Hjalti M.

Department of Emergency Medicine Faculty Publications

The consept of emergency departments (EDs) with specialized teams of emergency physicians originated in the United Kingdom and the United States during the 1970s and was expanded across most European countries in the twenty-first century. Among the various cardiac arrhythmias encountered in EDs, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent, contributing to ED congestion. Existing guidelines offer multiple treatment options for acute-onset AF occurring within 48 hours. The aim of The Atrial Fibrillation Background Study is to evaluate treatment strategies, practices and the role of emergency physicians in managing acute-onset AF in Western medical tradition across Europe, the United States …

How To Save A Life: The Impact Of Cpr And Bleeding Control Education On Adolescents, Emily Charlton

Nursing | Student Research Posters

Background: Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and uncontrolled traumatic bleeding are two of the leading causes of death globally. Death due to OHCA and bleeding is largely preventable. With appropriate bystander intervention, positive outcomes in cases of OHCA and traumatic bleeding would greatly increase. Purpose: Bystander ability and intent to provide emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and bleeding control is dependent on educational programs including death prevention first aid. Upon review of research, a gap was identified in adolescent death prevention training. The purpose of this proposed prospective study is to determine the effect of a high school education curriculum …

Point Of Care Ultrasound (Pocus) For Advanced Practice Providers (Apps), Crystal S. Rogers

DNP Projects

Background: Advanced practice providers (APPs) routinely lack the skillset to perform Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) because currently, there is not a standardized curriculum within scholarly programs (Santos et al., 2018) and/or inadequate hospital training to perform these competencies (Huang et al., 2021). The absence of a standard curriculum has limited the ability of APPs to practice with full scope, provide care that is comparable to physician partners in the acute care setting, and deliver highest quality of patient care. Implementing standard education to train APPs for POCUS addresses this identified gap.

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to …

Herniated Nucleus Pulposus Radiculopathy In Athletes, Elizabeth G. Massel

Capstone Showcase

Herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP), commonly referred to as intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation, is the second most common cause of neck and back pain, and most common cause of radiculopathy. The purpose of this CME article is to provide guidance on the medical management and secondary prevention of HNP in athletic populations, and highlight the pathophysiological process of mechanical overload putting athletes at a proportionately higher risk of the disease. It will address the unique pathophysiology of overuse-related HNP, as opposed to underuse, with the mechanical overload on vertebral discs associated with many sports. It will also review, with more emphasis …

The Effects Of Social Support On Recovery Outcomes Of Hip Fracture Patients, Preshecca Ragavan

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

This literature review, completed under the guidance of Ms. Anuja Sarode-Paciorek from Summa Health - Akron, will investigate the effects of social support on the recovery outcomes of hip fracture patients. As part of this literature review, I will collect and analyze several scientific journal articles previously published on this topic to gain an overview of what prior knowledge clinical researchers have already gathered about this topic. As part of the analyses, each article will be thoroughly read and briefly summarized. Then, these summaries will be used to compile a list of a few strengths and a list of a …

Comparative Analysis Of Machine Learning Models For Predicting Healthcare Traffic: Insights For Optimized Emergency Response, Shadman Mahmood Khan Pathan, Sakan Binte Imran, M. M. Shabab Iqbal, Muhammad Enayetur Rahman, Md. Nurul Absar Siddiky, Muhammad Rezaur Rahman, Md Rafid Hasan, Nondon Lal Dey, Md Sobuj Hossain

Efficient management of healthcare traffic is crucial for ensuring timely access to medical services, particularly in emergency situations where delays can have severe consequences. This study presents a comparative analysis of three widely used machine learning models—Linear Regression, Decision Trees, and Random Forests—aimed at predicting healthcare-related traffic volumes. A large dataset from a metropolitan traffic system was used to train and evaluate the models based on key performance indicators, including Mean Squared Error (MSE), R² Score, and computational efficiency. The results reveal that the Random Forest model offers the best performance, achieving higher predictive accuracy and faster execution times compared …
