Exploring emergency department provider experiences with and perceptions of weight-based versus individualized vaso-occlusive treatment protocols in sickle cell disease.
This study compared perceptions of nurses and physicians on protocols to treat sickle cell disease vaso-occlusive episodes (VOEs) in emergency rooms (ERs). Two different protocols were used for VOEs: weight –based and individualized vaso-occlusive. Nurses were less satisfied with clarity of the protocols than physicians. Pain management protocol perceptions differed widely between physicians, residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses.

A randomized controlled trial comparing two vaso-occlusive episode (VOE) protocols in sickle cell disease (SCD).
Limited evidence guides opioid dosing strategies for acute Sickle Cell (SCD) pain. In this randomized control study, the investigators compared two National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHBLI) recommended opioid dosing strategies (weight-based vs. patient-specific) for emergency department (ED) treatment of acute vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE).
