1 in Emergency and Critical Care WORKSHOP Emergency Room The POINT-OF-CARE THINKING and the EMERGENCY ULTRASOUND reimagined Luca Neri, MD & Enrico Storti, MD SSUEm 118 Milano Intenisve Care Unit AO Niguarda Ca Granda Hospital WINFOCUS Board February 2, 2007 Barcelona, Spain Emergency Emergency Room Emergency Room Emergency Room 1

2 Emergency Room Point- a new paradigm Emergency Care a new tool for improving Emergency & Critical Care is not a location It s a concept! Emergency Care POINT-of of-care EMERGENCY ULTRASOUND from the Emergency Room concept to the Emergency Point- concept 2

3 What Emergency stands usually for?! a basic, focused, limited, qualitative, goal direct US exam, performed by appropriately trained, non radiologist clinical staff, using compact portable devices in emergency care or screening settings (ex. FAST exam) WINFOCUS was actually born around a set of questions? Which are the characterizing features of the emergency ultrasound throughout the world? Scenarios, clinical indications, competences, equipments, protocols, organizational settings, credentialing processes, quality assurance plans What Emergency stands usually for?! a basic, focused, limited, qualitative, goal direct US exam, performed by appropriately trained, non radiologist clinical staff, using compact portable devices in emergency care or screening settings (ex FAST exam) Nevertheless, the diffusion of these techniques among non imaging specialist staff opens controversies about its diagnostic accuracy and an ongoing Survey? Feb 2004 Up to date Bibliographic review (papers, textbooks) About 150 experts, academics, authors from more than 30 countries About 400 investigators/interested people from nearly 30 countries About 70 organizations (scientific societies, emergency medical services, hospitals ) About a dozen of main manufacturers and a hundred of distributors/ representatives WINFOCUS was actually born around a set of questions? the appropriate clinical scenario - Which patient and which setting? the potential provider - Which sonographer? the competence level required - Which training? the adequate equipment performance - Which technology? the real impact on patient assessment, management, outcome and health care - What for? and an ongoing Survey? Very soon, we identified as users and scenarios: A large, worldwide scattered, critical care community ranging from Emergency Physicians to Emergency Surgeons, Intensivists, Anaesthesiologists, Cardiologists, Radiologists, General pratictioners, Flight-Nurses / Obstetrics, and Paramedics A large variety of workplaces EMS Ambulances & Helicopters, hospital ED, OR, ICU, remote mountain areas, urban chaotic centers, football stadiums, battlefields, disaster settings, austere underdeveloped regions, high-tech space flights 3

4 not only FAST at the point-of? Basic & Advanced Limited & Extended Goal-directed & Comprehensive Qualitative & Semi-/ Quantitative General & Specialized Consensus & Evidence -based Curriculum & Competence -based Portable (Mobile, HH, HC) & Stationary Sono-scope & High-tech machine Prehospital Emergency Medical Services On-scene :: Accident area (road), Bed-side (home) not only ABDOMINAL US at the point-of? Thoracic, Pleuro/Pulmonar (ex EFAST) Cardiac, Vascular (ex HHE) Extremities, Bones (ex FASTER) Pelvic, Uro-genital, O&G Procedural, Others Basic to Advanced US applications are increasingly performed by the clinical staff of the emergency departments over a set of selected focuses across the whole body of the patient not only HOSPITAL US at the point-of?
