The ACSC list mainly comprised of respiratory admissions, Pneumonia 14 cases (39%), COPD 7 (19%), Asthma 3 (8%) and Bronchiectasis 1 (3%). Practice teams identified fewer respiratory cases as potentially avoidable, Pneumonia 4 (24%), Asthma 1 (6%), COPD 1 (6%), and Bronchiectasis 1 (6%). Practices identified a wider range of cases including admission with constipation, anxiety, cancer and intracranial haemorrhage. There was only a fair level of agreement on which admissions might be avoidable when comparing the ACSC list used by the NHS with the list generated by the practice team using SEA. It is plausible that case-based analysis of actual admissions may be more sensitive in detecting factors that might be associated with an avoidable admission than simple diagnostic labels. We propose further work is done using a case-based approach to review the ACSC list and to produce an updated list of conditions and factors (practitioner, patient and systems) which might identify potentially avoidable admissions.Samuel Cloud, DO, and several other emergency physicians and registered nurses first went on a mission to Vietnam in January 2006. Emergency Medicine has been launched as a medical specialty within the country as a direct result of this mission. During the initial trip, areas of future needs were accessed, BTLS was taught to the new EMS providers using a trauma mannequin provided by Laerdel CPR and trauma lectures were also taught at the medical school in Hue.įuture focus will be on teaching ATLS and ACLS courses, as well as more core emergency medicine topics at the medical school. As a result of this developing project, the first Emergency Medicine residency in the country admitted their first class in the Fall of 2006. In late March 2016, UBMD Emergency Medicine returned to Vietnam.

Topics included spinal motion restriction in trauma, 'pit crew' management of cardiac arrest, hypotensive resuscitation in penetrating trauma, and pediatric rapid sequence induction.įaculty, fellows, and residents from the Department of Emergency Medicine traveled to Hanoi to present at the 2016 Scientific Assembly of the Vietnam Society for Emergency Medicine (VSEM).
