Abstract

Background: Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding is a persistent global challenge that affects the quality and timeliness of patient care, particularly for sepsis management. Despite established guidelines such as the hour-1 sepsis bundle and national sepsis guideline, adherence remains inconsistent. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between sepsis protocol compliance and emergency unit crowding. Method: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted, analyzing adult sepsis and septic shock patients triaged as Priority 1. Data on patient demographics, sepsis severity scores, ED occupancy rates, and adherence to sepsis protocols using the Hour-1 sepsis bundle and the National Sepsis Guideline were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s Exact Test to examine associations between ED overcrowding and compliance with sepsis protocols, with a significance threshold of p<0.05. Results: This study included 38 cases with a mean age of 56.6 years and the majority (52.6%) of patients were female. Most cases were diagnosed with septic shock (55.3%) and the average occupancy rate of the emergency department was 80.8%. Serum lactate measurements were performed in 68.4% of cases, blood culture sampling in 21.1%, and broad-spectrum antibiotics were given in 94.7%. Full compliance with both sepsis protocols was only 5.3%. Compliance with fluid resuscitation was high at 97.4%, while compliance with blood culture sampling was low at 5.3% and 7.9%. No significant association was found between protocol compliance and ED crowding (p > 0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between ED crowding and adherence to sepsis protocols. Strategic and clinical policy interventions are needed to improve adherence to sepsis management guidelines. Suggestion: Future research should investigate additional barriers to sepsis care, such as financial constraints, physician decision-making processes, and variations in adherence across healthcare settings to develop more comprehensive strategies to improve sepsis outcomes worldwide.

Abstract

The referral quality will affect the outcome of referred patients. The quality of emergency referrals from the Public Health Center (PHC) in Banten Province has not been examined. This study aims to analyze the quality of emergency referrals from PHC and the factors that influence it. Observational analytics with a retrospective approach to a PHC in Banten Province, Indonesia. The reference data for March-May 2023 is taken consecutively. Data on the demographics of referrers and referral cases are recorded. The quality of referrals is analyzed using national personal referral standards. A total of 52 referral cases were involved in the study. Referrals were made by nurses with an average age of 28.2 years with a range of 23-43 years, men (38/73.1%), and with diploma education (30/57.7%). Most of the referring nurses have a valid Basic Life Support (BLS) certificate (46/88.5), are non-civil servants, and work for an average of 3.3 years. Most of the referred cases are surgical (28/53.8) and urgency cases (32/61.5). Forty-four referral cases (84.6%) did not meet national referral standards. The referring nurse's educational background and the urgency of the case had a significant relationship with the quality of referrals with p values < α values of 0.05 (0.000 and 0.000 respectively). There was no significant relationship between referral quality and patient/family satisfaction. Conclusion: Most PHC's emergency referrals to hospital emergency departments (ED) have not complied with national standards. There was a significant relationship between the education of the referring nurse and the level of urgency of the case with the quality of PHC referrals. There is no relationship between referral quality and patient/family satisfaction. National technical guidelines for individual referrals for emergency cases are needed.

Abstract

Objective: COVID-19 is a new emerging disease since December 2019 that later was announced by WHO as a global pandemic. Radioimaging appearance of COVID-19 is varied yet dominantly showed as a ground glass appearance in CT-imaging. Lung abscess in COVID-19 is an extremely rare case, therefore it needs further discussion. Method: We report a 39 year-old male patient of COVID-19 with lung abscess.Result: This case report describe a COVID-19 patient who showed a very rare clinical manifestation; lung abscess. The patient showed negative result of TB molecular test. Chest tube insertion procedure was performed in this patient who showed an improvement after abscess being drained. Conclusion: Lung abscess may occur in COVID-19. Abscess drainage procedure may improve clinical condition of COVID-19 patient.
