          Abstract

          Objetivos: Explorar la asistencia urgente a domicilio proporcionada por una enfermera sin médico presencial y compararla con la de los equipos con médicos. Metodología: Estudio transversal, con pacientes del Distrito Málaga atendidos por una enfermera de enero 2012 a marzo 2013 y por equipos con médico en 2012. Se hizo un análisis descriptivo, Chi cuadrado y regresiones logísticas multivariantes. Resultados: 641 pacientes atendió la enfermera. Los motivos fueron Cervico-Dorso-Lumbo-ciatalgia (13.9%), Mareos/vértigo (9.5%), Sin patología (8.4%), Hiper/hipotensión arterial (7.8%), etc. Tres pacientes, por hipertensión o agitación, precisaron equipo médico 24 horas después. El equipo médico atendió 7430 motivos similares de 21226 demandas. El incumplimiento y manejo inefectivo del tratamiento se asoció a demandas por dolor no oncológico, hipo/hipertensión e hipo/hiperglucemia. El manejo inefectivo de dispositivos sanitarios y las respuestas inadecuadas de afrontamiento se asociaron a demandas sin patología. Conclusión: La asistencia urgente a domicilio por una enfermera y médico no presencial es segura y eficiente, preámbulo ideal para la práctica avanzada.

          Objetives: To explore the emergency nursing practice at home with a physician on the phone and to compare it with emergency medical teams' activity. Methods: Cross-sectional study, including patients from Málaga District attended by a nurse from January 2012 to March 2013, and by medical teams in 2012. Statistical analysis included descriptive data analysis, Chi-squared test and multivariate logistic regression. Results: 641 patients were attended by the nurse. The causes were: Cervical-Back-sciatica pain (13.9%), dizziness/vertigo (9.5%), No pathology (8.4%), High/Low blood pressure (7.8%), etc. Three patients, with high blood pressure or restlessness, required attention by the medical team 24 hours later. The medical team attended 7,430 similar causes from a 21,226 in total. Noncompliance or ineffective treatment management were associated to non-oncologic pain, high/low blood pressure and hypo/hyperglycaemia. Ineffective management of medical devices and inadequate coping responses were associated to demands without pathology. Conclusion: Emergency nursing practice at home, with a physician on the phone, is safe and efficient, preface of the advanced practice.

          ED patients: how nonurgent are they? Systematic review of the emergency medicine literature.

          Nonurgent visits to emergency departments (ED) are a controversial issue; they have been negatively associated with crowding and costs. We have conducted a critical review of the literature regarding methods for categorizing ED visits into urgent or nonurgent and analyzed the proportions of nonurgent ED visits. We found 51 methods of categorization. Seventeen categorizations conducted prospectively in triage areas were based on somatic complaint and/or vital sign collection. Categorizations conducted retrospectively (n = 34) were based on the diagnosis, the results of tests obtained during the ED visit, and hospital admission. The proportions of nonurgent ED visits varied considerably: 4.8% to 90%, with a median of 32%. Comparisons of methods of categorization in the same population showed variability in levels of agreement. Our review has highlighted the lack of reliability and reproducibility.

            Increasing utilisation of emergency ambulances.

            Increased ambulance utilisation is closely linked with Emergency Department (ED) attendances. Pressures on hospital systems are widely acknowledged with ED overcrowding reported regularly in the media and peer-reviewed literature. Strains on ambulance services are less well-documented or studied. To review the literature to determine the trends in utilisation of emergency ambulances throughout the developed world and to discuss the major underlying drivers perceived as contributing to this increase. A search of online databases, search engines, peer-reviewed journals and audit reports was undertaken. Ambulance utilisation has increased in many developed countries over the past 20 years. Annual growth rates throughout Australia and the United Kingdom are similar. Population ageing, changes in social support, accessibility and pricing, and increasing community health awareness have been proposed as associated factors. As the extent of their contribution has not yet been established these factors were reviewed. The continued rise in utilisation of emergency ambulances is placing increasing demands on ambulance services and the wider health system, potentially compromising access, quality, safety and outcomes. A variety of factors may contribute to this increase and targeted strategies to reduce utilisation will require an accurate identification of the major drivers of demand.
