Abstract:
Band neutrophil count greater than 10 % of the white blood cell differential (bandemia) has been associated with severe infections in emergency department (ED) patients. In January 2023, our ED instituted a critical alert for bandemia. We performed a retrospective chart review of two cohorts of emergency department patients, before and after initiation of critical alert. After critical alert initiation for bandemia, there was a 4.6-fold higher incidence of bandemia with similar baseline patient characteristics.
