In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, Dr. Resa Lewiss explores AI in healthcare with Andrew Taylor MD MHS, a Professor and Vice Chair of Research and Innovation in Emergency Medicine at the University of Virginia.  Dr. Taylor shares insights from his work on AI-informed triage systems, discusses the challenges of implementing AI in hospital settings, and explains how artificial intelligence can reduce diagnostic errors while promoting fairness in emergency care. Healthcare lags behind other industries in adopting AI tools, facing unique challenges around hospital infrastructure and personnel requirements. Large language models require substantial computational resources that most traditional hospital systems lack. The persistent problem of closed electronic health record systems further complicates implementation. Healthcare typically can take 15 years to adopt new technologies, even those with proven efficacy and safety records. Publications we discuss: —Impact of Artificial Intelligence-Based Triage Decision Support on Emergency Department Care (NEJM AI) —Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Reduce Diagnostic Errors in Emergency Medicine: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Directions (AEM) —Enhancing Emergency Department Triage Equity With Artificial Intelligence: Outcomes From a Multisite Implementation (Annals of EM) If you enjoy the show, please leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating on Apple or a

Nearly one-quarter of emergency department visits among patients 60-and-older nationally resulted in a hospital stay. A Rutland man, worried about his widowed father, made an emergency hospital go-bag for his dad, and experts say more of us should have them. Plus, budget cuts have prompted layoffs at the Vermont Foodbank, areas of Montreal are recovering from flooding, and people who work with refugees and asylum seekers in Vermont are struggling to keep up with recent changes to federal immigration laws.

Disparities in Treatment and Referral After an Opioid Overdose Among Emergency Department Patients  JAMA Network Open This cohort study of 1,683 patients assessed if there are racial and ethnic disparities in treatment referral rates among patients in the emergency department (ED) with opioid overdose.  It found a statistically significant difference in the proportion of Black patients who received an outpatient treatment referral (5.7%) compared with White patients (9.6%). These findings suggest that Black patients presenting to the ED with opioid overdose may be less likely to receive outpatient treatment referrals, underscoring the need for targeted intervention and enhanced referral processes.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

A CDC study shows that 1 in 10 Americans gets a tick bite every year on average. This year, the CDC reported that Emergency room visits from Tick bites are at the highest levels since 2019. The CDC has recorded just under 450 Emergency Department visits in the US so far this year, with 250 of those in the Southeast. With that new info as a backdrop we're revisiting this interview Dr. Greg did earlier this year with UK extension entomologist Jonathan Larson.

The Minister for Auckland's keeping positive despite a mixed annual State of the City report. The third annual report shows the city rates strongly in sustainability, resilience, and culture, but is falling when it comes to prosperity, skills, and innovation development. Minister Simeon Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan Auckland's at a good turning point. He says it will be a great year with the City Rail Link opening and the international convention centre bringing opportunities. Brown says they're also addressing inherited challenges, with crime coming down. He's also assuring that health workers and the government are working to ease hospital pressure, amid reports some Auckland ambulances were redirected from EDs. RNZ reports delays handing patients over to Auckland City and Middlemore Hospitals yesterday afternoon, with some assessed by phone or diverted to non-hospital clinics. Brown told du Plessis Allan patients with less severe symptoms are sent to after hours urgent care from time to time. He says the reality is winter is a challenging time for the system, but they're continuing to focus on front line resources to make sure patients receive timely and quality care.

Emergency physicians Resa E. Lewiss and Courtney M. Smalley discuss their article, "Why point-of-care ultrasound belongs in emergency department triage." Amid the crisis of overcrowded waiting rooms and long wait times, they argue for the immediate integration of a powerful, underutilized tool: point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Resa and Courtney use compelling clinical examples, like identifying a collapsed lung or a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in under two minutes, to show how POCUS can dramatically improve risk stratification and save lives before a patient even leaves the triage area. They counter potential objections by explaining that emergency physicians are already highly trained in POCUS, the technology fits existing workflows, and it is a billable procedure that can generate revenue. The conversation serves as a direct call to action for hospital leaders to redesign triage spaces and protocols, making POCUS a standard of care to ensure the sickest patients are identified and treated without delay.

Wellington Hospital is trialling cutting maternity and gynaecology beds to ease ED pressure. Staff have been told maternity overflow space will be re-purposed as 12 more Emergency Department places. NZ College of Midwives Chief Executive Alison Eddy says staff in Wellington have reported the current maternity facility is over 100 percent occupancy. "There might be spare beds today, but on a regular basis they're over capacity. And I think the other really important thing to bear in mind is that maternity is like the ED of the maternity service... it can have unpredictable demand."

A leaked memo shows Wellington Hospital is cutting beds from its gynaecology and maternity wards in a trial aimed at making room for patients from the over-crowded Emergency Department. Ruth Hill reports.

The union representing midwives says Wellington Hospital cutting beds from its gynaecology and maternity wards in a trial aimed at making more room for patients from the overcrowded Emergency Department is a bad move. Midwifery Representation and Advisory Service's Caroline Conroy spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Health NZ has said gynaecology had 12 "resourced" (staffed) beds, with capacity to flex to 14, and 26 resourced maternity beds, with the ability to flex to 37 beds (11 unresourced) in response to Wellington Hospital's trial aimed at making more room for patients from the overcrowded Emergency Department.

Welcome back to Papers of the Month! Three more papers to both inform and challenge our practice across the spectrum of emergency care. First up we look at a systematic review and meta-analysis on noradrenaline vs adrenaline for our medical post-ROSC patients; what evidence exists out there and should we all be delivering noradrenaline as our first line treatment for those with shock? Next up a paper to really challenge the treatment algorithm for status epilepticus in paediatrics, with an RCT of midazolam and ketamine versus midazolam alone. There are some huge differences here in the form of termination rates and some great discussion to be had around the specifics of the paper and how that might translate into future practice. Finally we look at a paper assessing the impact of i.m. versus i.v. metoclopramide for migraines and acute severe headaches. The paper looks at the impact of length of stay within the Emergency Department and also the efficacy of the treatment. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob

The number of patients treated at Ennis' Local Injury Unit has increased for the second consecutive year. New HSE figures show 16,037 people attended the county town's LIU in 2024. It's a marginal 5% rise on the numbers seen there the previous year, with over 1,300 patients now coming through the Ennis Local Injury Unit each month. HSE Regional Health Forum West member Councillor Rita McInerney says it clearly illustrates the need for an Emergency Department in the town.

A new report says the MidWest will need another emergency department and 600 more acute hospital beds by 2040 to meet the demands of the growing population. It comes as The Friends of Ennis Hospital has published its latest research document covering hospital bed capacity projects for the next fifteen years. The group has recommended that a new hospital is built on a new campus and has also poured cold water on HSE plans to build a second 96 bed block at University Hospital Limerick, citing planning obstacles. Chairperson Angela Coll believes a Clare facility is the only viable solution.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: How do we take care of kids in severe pain? There are many non-pharmacologic options for pain (i.e. ice, elevation) as well as more conventional medication options (i.e. acetaminophen, NSAIDS) but in severe pain stronger medications might be indicated. These stronger medications include options such as IV morphine, a subdissociative dose of ketamine, as well as intranasal fentanyl. Intranasal fentanyl has many advantages: Studies have shown it might be more effective early on in controlling pain, as in the first 15-20 minutes after administration, and then becomes equivalent to other pain control options Total adverse effects were also lower with IN fentanyl, including low rates of nausea and vomiting To administer, use the IV formulation with an atomizer and spray into the nose; therefore, you do not need an IV line Dose is 1-2 micrograms per kilogram, can be redosed once at 10 minutes.  Don't forget about gabapentinoids for neuropathic pain, muscle relaxants for muscle spasms, and nerve blocks when appropriate. (Disclaimer: muscle relaxers have not been well studied in children) References Alsabri M, Hafez AH, Singer E, Elhady MM, Waqar M, Gill P.
