Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and subsequent risk of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for atrial fibrillation.
Although emerging evidence has suggested the relationship of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with atrial fibrillation (AF), little is known about whether acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) increases the risk of repeated AF-related healthcare utilization. The investigators found that among patients with existing AF, AECOPD was associated with a higher risk of AF-related ED visit or hospitalization in the first 90-day post-AECOPD period.

Task2Heart: exploring heart rate differences with time-motion workflow observations of emergency medicine physicians.
This paper presents Task2Heart, a system developed to integrate near real-time heart rate with in-situ time motion observations. The authors describe and validate the system and discuss its use in the exploration of emergency physician heart rate in-situ.

Patient, provider, and environmental factors associated with adherence to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular clinical practice guidelines in the ED.
The primary objectives of this study were to estimate differences in emergency department (ED) adherence across coronary-related clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and identify patient, provider, and environmental factors associated with adherence. The investigators found that adherence to ED CPGs for acute coronary syndrome, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, or acute ischemic stroke, differs significantly between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and is more likely to occur when the diagnosis is highly suggested by the patient's complaint and acknowledged as the primary diagnosis by the treating ED physician.

Cardiac arrest survival in pediatric and general emergency departments.
Understanding whether pediatric emergency departments (EDs) have higher survival than general EDs may help identify ways to improve care for all patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Researchers sought to determine if OHCA survival differs between pediatric and general EDs. In their nationally representative sample, survival from nontraumatic OHCA was higher in pediatric EDs than general EDs. Survival did not differ in traumatic OHCA.
