Insights
This erratum corrects dosing information for edoxaban and metoprolol in the 2023 atrial fibrillation management guidelines. These updates ensure accurate guidance for emergency medicine professionals treating patients with atrial fibrillation.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Emergency Medicine
- Pharmacology
Context:
- The 2023 consensus update on atrial fibrillation management by SEMES, SEC, and SETH contains dosing errors.
- Accurate medication dosing is critical in emergency settings for effective patient care.
Purpose:
- To correct specific inaccuracies in the published 2023 consensus update.
- To provide precise dosing information for edoxaban and metoprolol in atrial fibrillation management.
Summary:
- Correction 1: Table 3, ENSURE-AF study dose should specify Edoxaban, not Rivaroxaban, when used with TEE.
- Correction 2: Table 4, metoprolol loading dose should be in mg, not mg/kg, for intravenous administration.
Impact:
- Ensures clinicians have accurate dosing information for critical medications.
- Improves the reliability of the SEMES, SEC, and SETH atrial fibrillation management guidelines.
- Supports evidence-based practice in emergency departments for atrial fibrillation treatment.
Text:
In the article "Management of atrial fibrillation in hospital emergency services: update to 2023 of the consensus of the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES), the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC) and the Spanish Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis ( SETH)" published in volume 35, number 5, October 2023, there were some errors that are detailed and corrected below: On page 368, Table 3, in the dose column of the ENSURE-AF study, where it says " Adequate anticoagulant or TEE + Rivaroxaban at least 2 hours before VC" should say "Appropriate anticoagulant or TEE + Edoxaban at least 2 hours before VC." On page 370, Table 4, in the metoprolol loading dose column where it says "2.5-5 mg/kg in 2 min up to a maximum of 3 doses" it should say "2.5-5 mg in 2 min up to a maximum of 3 doses."

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.

Accuracy, limits, and approximation
Accuracy is defined as the closeness of the measured value to the true or actual value. In engineering mechanics, repeated measurements are taken during theoretical or experimental analyses to ensure that the result is precise and accurate.
