Our study aims to explore how intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy by brain-dead organ donors affects emergency ambulance diversions. In this retrospective, single-center study at an emergency ICU (EICU), brain-dead organ donors were managed until organ procurement. We classified each day between August 1, 2021, and July 31, 2023, as either an exposure day (any day with a brain-dead organ donor in the EICU from admission to organ procurement) or a control day (all other days). The study compared these days and used multiple logistic regression analysis to assess the impact of EICU occupancy by brain-dead organ donors on ambulance diversions. Over two years, 6,058 emergency patients were transported by ambulance, with 1327 admitted to the EICU, including 13 brain-dead organ donors. Brain-dead donors had longer EICU stays (17 vs. 2 days, P < 0.001). With 168 exposure and 562 control days, EICU occupancy was higher on exposure days (75% vs. 67%, P = 0.003), leading to more ambulance diversions. Logistic regression showed exposure days significantly increased ambulance diversions, with an odds ratio of 1.79 (95% CIs 1.10-2.88). This study shows that managing brain-dead organ donors in the EICU leads to longer stays and higher occupancy, resulting in more frequent ambulance diversions. These findings highlight the critical need for policies that optimize ICU resource allocation while maintaining the infrastructure necessary to support organ donation programs and ensuring continued care for brain-dead donors, who play an essential role in addressing the organ shortage crisis.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining initial hemoglobin levels with the shock index for predicting the need for life-saving interventions (LSI) in pediatric patients with blunt liver and spleen injuries (BLSI), specifically tailored to different age groups. This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients with BLSI in Japan. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) were used to assess predictive accuracy. The study included 1,370 patients. LSI was required in 59 of 247 (23.9%) aged 1 to 6 years, 100 of 402 (24.9%) aged 7 to 12 years, and 125 of 297 (42.1%) patients aged 13 to 16 years. Within each specific age group, the predictability was categorized as fair and appeared higher than that of the entire cohort or when using either parameter alone. Notably, in the 1 to 6-year age group, the combined values showed the highest predictability, which was statistically superior to the shock index alone (AUROC of 0.770 vs. 0.671, P = 0.025). Tailoring initial hemoglobin levels and shock index to specific age groups enhances predictability of LSI in pediatric BLSI, showing a fair level of predictive accuracy.

BACKGROUND: Suicide-related out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is characterized by extremely low survival rates and represents a considerable global public health concern. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes of suicide-related OHCA. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study is an analysis of data collected from the JAPAN Registry of Self-harm and Suicide Attempts. Patients were divided into two groups, the OHCA group and the non-OHCA group. The primary outcome was death at 30 days. RESULTS: Among 1,960 self-harm and suicide attempts patients, 213 patients (10.9 %) were assigned to the OHCA group and 1,747 (89.1%) were in the non-OHCA group.Patients in the OHCA group were older (44 vs. 33 years old, p < 0.001), and the OHCA group had a higher proportion of males compared to the non-OHCA group (122 [57.3%] vs. 604 [34.6%], p < 0.001). Despite missing and unknown data, lower proportions of psychiatric consultation history (54 [30.8%] vs. 1177 [70.5%], p < 0.001), psychiatric hospitalization history (9 [5.1%] vs. 386 [23.1%], p < 0.001), and previous suicide attempts (16 [9.2%] vs. 807 [48.4%], p < 0.001) were observed in the OHCA group. Risk of death at 30 days was significantly higher in the OHCA group (200 [93.9%] vs. 31 [1.8%], p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Suicide-related OHCA was rare and associated with poorer prognosis compared to patients without OHCA. It was more common in middle-aged men without a history of psychiatric care or prior suicide attempts, although the study was limited by missing data.

Objective Early defibrillation is crucial for improving the survival rates of patients with shockable cardiac arrest (OHCA). Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are essential in basic life support (BLS), yet their usage in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests remains around 10%. There are two types of AEDs: semi-automatic (s-AED) and fully automatic (f-AED), with the latter automatically delivering a shock if indicated. Although f-AEDs were introduced in Japan in 2021, they have not yet been widely adopted. The present study investigated whether or not the ease of use and preferences for these AED types differ between healthcare professionals and laypersons. Methods BLS courses, including training on both AED types, were conducted between 2021 and 2022 at our institution. The participants were divided into medical and non-medical professional groups, and a survey was administered. Results A total of 443 participants were included, with 47 medical professionals and 396 non-medical professionals. Notably, 401 participants were new to f-AED lectures. The medical professional group had more prior experience with AED training courses than non-medical professionals and showed a preference for s-AEDs, whereas the non-medical professional group showed no significant preference. Although a subset of participants expressed hesitation in pressing the shock button on the s-AEDs, no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups. Conclusion This study suggests that preferences for AED types may vary between medical and non-medical professional groups, with some reluctance in using s-AEDs. Although no significant differences in hesitation were found between the groups, f-AEDs may reduce hesitation and potentially improve AED effectiveness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

2024年4月から医師にも働き方改革が適用された。当院では救急搬送件数が直近3年間で3倍に急増した。これに対応するため院内外の協力・連携や下り搬送の体制強化,病院救命士の活用・育成によるタスク・シェア/シフトの促進に努めてきた。その他,徹底したシフト制など働き方改革を進めてきた。また,大学病院としての使命でもある研究・教育にも注力してきた。2023年度の院内時間外勤務時間は2022年度のそれと比較して有意に減少したものの,働き方改革前後での全体的な満足度に変化はなかった。働き方改革は労働時間もさることながら,その中身が重要であり,救急科としての専門性や役割を発揮しながら,個々がやりがいを実感できる環境づくりが重要であるが,自己研鑽という名の時間外労働の実態は反映されにくく,地域救急医療体制維持と働き方改革とのバランスも今後の課題である。(著者抄録)

Injury recurrence in young children is a significant public health concern, as it may indicate an unfavorable home environment. This study evaluates whether infantile injuries increase recurrence during preschool years, contributing to more effective prevention strategies for vulnerable families. The study included 20,191 children from "The Longitudinal Survey of Babies in the 21st Century," a representative sample of infants born in Japan between May 10 and 24, 2010. We conducted a logistic regression analysis to compare injury recurrence risk between children aged 18 months to seven years with and without infantile injury histories. The study revealed that infants with a history of injuries had a higher risk of subsequent hospital visits for injuries during preschool years (crude Odds Ratio (cOR) 1.52, 95% CI, 1.41-1.64, adjusted OR (aOR) 1.48, 95% CI 1.37-1.60). Specific injuries, such as falls (aOR 1.34, 95% CI, 1.26-1.43), pinches (aOR 1.22, 95% CI, 1.15-1.29), drowning (aOR 1.29, 95% CI, 1.19-1.40), ingestion (aOR 1.35, 95% CI, 1.17-1.55), and burns (aOR 1.47, 95% CI, 1.31-1.65), independently increased the risk of future injuries. Our findings highlight the necessity of universal safety measures in the home environment and targeted interventions for families with a history of high-risk injuries.

BACKGROUND: The clinical impact of signs of life (SOLs) in traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the association between SOLs and survival/neurological outcomes in TCA patients. METHODS: Retrospective data from the Japan Trauma Data Bank (2019-2021) was reviewed. TCA patients were assigned to one of two study groups based on the presence or absence of SOLs and compared. SOLs were defined as having at least one of following criteria: pulseless electrical activity >40 beats per minute, gasping, positive light reflex, or extremity/eye movement at hospital arrival. The primary outcome was survival at hospital discharge. The secondary outcome was favorable neurological status (Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 4 or 5) at hospital discharge. RESULTS: A total of 1,981 patients (114 with SOLs and 1,867 without SOLs) were included. Characteristics of patients were as follows: age (median age 60.0 years old [interquartile range: 41-80] years vs. 55.4 [38-75] years), gender (male: 76/114 (66.7%) vs. 1,207/1,867 (65.0%), blunt trauma (90/111 [81.1%] vs. 1,559/1,844 [84.5%]), Injury Severity Score (29.2 [22-41] vs. 27.9 [20-34]). Patients with SOLs showed higher survival (10/114 (8.8%) vs. 25/1,867 (1.3%), OR 1.96 [CI 1.20-2.72]) and higher favorable neurological outcomes (4/110 (3.5%) vs. 6/1,865 (0.3%), OR 2.42 [CI 1.14-3.70]) compared with patients without SOLs. CONCLUSIONS: TCA patients with SOLs at hospital arrival showed higher survival and favorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge compared with TCA patients without SOLs.
