Adrenergic agonists have diverse therapeutic uses across various medical conditions and emergencies.
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

344
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Frequent emergency department (ED) users represent a high-risk, high-resource-utilizing patient population.
  • Effective interventions are needed to manage this group and improve outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of interventions targeting adult frequent ED users.
  • The primary goals were to reduce ED visit frequency and improve patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies was conducted.
  • Data were extracted from seven databases and gray literature, with third-party adjudication for disagreements.
  • Rate ratios of post- versus pre-intervention ED visits were calculated.

Main Results:

  • 31 studies involving 6,865 citations were included, with diverse intervention designs and frequent user definitions.
  • 84% of studies (21 out of 25) showed a significant decrease in ED visits post-intervention (median rate ratio 0.63).
  • Interventions showed promise in improving stable housing for homeless populations, though interstudy heterogeneity was high.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions targeting frequent ED users are effective in reducing ED visits.
  • These interventions may also contribute to improved stable housing outcomes.
  • Future research should focus on cost-effectiveness and standardized definitions for frequent ED users.
