This demographic shift requires adapting emergency department (ED) services to meet the specific demands of older patients, who often present with multiple comorbidities and face challenges such as sensory and cognitive difficulties. EDs, traditionally designed for acute illness and injury management, may not be adequately equipped to meet the unique needs of this vulnerable population. This can result in suboptimal patient experiences, prolonged ED stays, increased hospitalizations, and poorer outcomes.\n\nMethods: This study protocol outlines a before-and-after study to evaluate the impact of implementing a comfort menu and cart on the experience and outcomes of older patients treated in the ED. The study will be conducted in the ED of Hospital Sírio-Libanês (HSL), a tertiary private hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Patients aged 60 and older who presented to the ED will be eligible for inclusion. Participants will be recruited in two phases: pre-intervention and post-implementation of the comfort menu and cart. Data will be collected through patient and staff interviews, chart reviews, and a 30-day follow-up interview. Patient experience, staff experience, length of hospital stays, hospital costs, ED readmissions, falls, delirium incidence, quality of life, functional status, cognitive performance, and mortality will be assessed.\n\nEthics and dissemination: Ethical approval for this study has been granted by the Institutional Review Board of HSL. All participants, or their legal representatives for those with cognitive impairment, will provide written informed consent before any study procedures are initiated. The consent process has been designed keeping the study hypothesis blind by not revealing the outcomes that will be measured after the comfort cart intervention. The results will be shared with the academic community through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at relevant conferences to inform future clinical practice and research.\n\nExpected Results: A positive impact of implementing the comfort menu and cart in the ED is expected on patient-centered outcomes. Improvements in the experience of older patients and medical and multidisciplinary staff are anticipated, and improvements in other exploratory outcomes, such as length of hospital stay, hospital costs, readmissions, falls, delirium incidence, quality of life, functionality, and cognitive performance, will be explored.",[25,26],"Emergency Department Patient","Comfort",[28,29,30,31],"comfort cart","patient experience","older adult","emergency department","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-08",{"date":35,"type":36},"2026-06-10","ACTUAL",{"date":38,"type":19},"2026-08-01",{"date":40,"type":19},"2027-03-10",{"name":42,"class":43},"Hospital Sirio-Libanes","OTHER",1,{"id":46,"slug":47,"hasResults":11,"nctId":48,"briefTitle":49,"officialTitle":50,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":51,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":15,"minAge":52,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":53,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":20,"phases":55,"briefSummary":56,"conditions":57,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":32,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":62,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":63,"startDateStruct":65,"completionDateStruct":67,"leadSponsor":69,"locationsCount":44},"100638173","green-or-pink-a-comparison-of-pain-and-procedural-difficulty-with-intravenous-cannulas-in-the-emergency-department-100638173","NCT07629427","Green or Pink?

It is essential for blood sampling, intravenous (IV) fluid resuscitation, medication administration, blood product transfusion, and IV contrast-enhanced radiological imaging. In emergency department (ED) settings, where patients may deteriorate rapidly, timely and adequate IV access is of critical importance. Larger-bore cannulas allow faster fluid and contrast delivery and are less prone to occlusion; however, Larger-bore cannulas are often perceived to cause greater pain and procedural difficulty compared to smaller-bore cannulas. This perception may lead clinicians to prefer smaller cannulas, potentially compromising care quality in patients who may unexpectedly deteriorate.\n\nCannula insertion inherently causes discomfort, pain, and anxiety for patients, and multiple failed attempts further amplify these effects. Patient satisfaction, an important dimension of overall care quality, is directly influenced by pain experience and the number of insertion attempts. Patients requiring two or more attempts for successful cannulation are generally classified as having difficult intravenous access (DIVA). Repeated failed attempts are associated with vascular injury, increased patient distress, delays in diagnosis and treatment, and greater consumption of healthcare resources. The A-DIVA score, developed by Van Loon et al., enables risk stratification for IV access difficulty at triage, classifying patients as low, moderate, or high risk, and facilitating proactive measures such as ultrasound guidance or involvement of experienced personnel for high-risk patients.\n\nThis single-center, prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial aims to compare 18-gauge (18G) and 20-gauge (20G) PIVCs in terms of patient-reported pain intensity and nurse-reported procedural difficulty in adult ED patients with low-to-moderate A-DIVA risk. The investigators hypothesize that 18G cannulas cause similar pain and procedural difficulty compared to 20G cannulas in this patient population.\n\nThe study will be conducted at Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital Emergency Department. Ethics approval has been granted by the Marmara University Faculty of Medicine Clinical Research Ethics Committee. Adult patients (18 years and older) requiring IV access for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes and classified as low or moderate A-DIVA risk will be eligible. Patients with cognitive impairment, altered mental status, or hemodynamic instability (systolic BP less than 90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure less than 65 mmHg) will be excluded.\n\nEligible consenting patients will be randomized 1:1 using a block randomization method (block size of 4) to either 18G or 20G cannula insertion. Cannula assignment will be delivered to nurses in sealed envelopes. Patients will be blinded to cannula size using blackout goggles. Cannulation will be performed by ED nurses following standard antiseptic and securement procedures, targeting the dorsum of the hand, forearm, or antecubital fossa. If the first attempt fails, at least one additional attempt with the assigned cannula will be required before allowing free choice of cannula and site.\n\nThe primary outcomes are patient-reported pain intensity and nurse-reported procedural difficulty, each assessed using a 10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) immediately after the first cannulation attempt and compared between the 18G and 20G cannula groups. Secondary outcomes include the comparison of first-attempt cannulation success rate between the 18G and 20G cannula groups. This comparison will also be performed separately according to cannulation site, operator experience, A-DIVA risk category, patient age, and patient sex.\n\nA total of 204 patients (102 per group) will be enrolled, based on 90% power, 5% type I error, a minimum clinically important difference of 13 mm on the VAS, and a 10% dropout allowance.",[58,59,25,60,61],"Peripheral Catheterization","Veins","Pain","Procedural Difficulty","2026-06-04",{"date":64,"type":36},"2026-06-05",{"date":66,"type":19},"2026-06",{"date":68,"type":19},"2026-08",{"name":70,"class":43},"Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital",{"id":72,"slug":73,"hasResults":11,"nctId":74,"briefTitle":75,"officialTitle":76,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":77,"healthyVolunteers":78,"sex":15,"minAge":52,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":79,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":20,"phases":81,"briefSummary":82,"conditions":83,"keywords":93,"overallStatus":99,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":100,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":101,"startDateStruct":103,"completionDateStruct":105,"leadSponsor":107,"locationsCount":44},"100605188","cardiac-point-of-care-ultrasound-training-pathway-for-emergency-department-advanced-practice-providers-100605188","NCT07159269","Cardiac point-of Care Ultrasound Training Pathway for Emergency Department Advanced Practice Providers","Cardiac Point-of-care Ultrasound Clinical Training Pathway Implementation and Impact Assessment for Advanced Practice Providers in the Emergency Department","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* advanced practice providers (APPs) currently working in our ED, with additional APPs as they are hired (expected to be about 75 APPs total within the next 3 years due to expanding staffing needs and coverage models).\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* non-APPs such as physicians, nurses, or other clinical staff",true,{"count":80,"type":19},75,[22],"The aim of this study is to assess emergency medicine physician and advanced practice provider (APP) knowledge and technical skill in performance of a point-of-care ultrasound simulation and just-in-time training pathway to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the ultrasound training program.

These patients may require other methods to obtain access to a vein for administration of the necessary medications. The 2-inch long IV is most commonly used in emergency departments for people with difficulty IV access. Typically, a healthcare worker will use an ultrasound to help to see the veins underneath the skin while inserting the IV into the vein. That is, the ultrasound helps the healthcare worker visualize veins that are deeper in the arm and may not be felt through the skin. Another device that can be used is a 4-inch midline catheter. This device is less commonly used as many emergency departments do not have participants available, but it serves the same purpose as the 2-inch long IVs (that is, to give medicine into the vein and sometimes to take blood). A 4-inch midline catheter is similar to a 2-inch long IV, but has a few differences. First, the 4-inch midline catheter is even longer than the 2-inch long IV. The 4-inch midline catheter is 10-cm (about 4-inches or the size of 4 quarters side-by-side), while the 2-inch long IV is 4.78-cm (nearly 2-inches or two quarters side-by-side). Second, the 4-inch midline catheter is inserted into using a guidewire to help move the catheter in the vein (similar in concept to a train moving along a track), while the 2-inch long IV does not have this guidewire. The guidewire does not hurt and most do not know it is being used. It is just an additional step to help guide the catheter in the vein.

Only NSAIDs and muscle relaxants have a slightly beneficial effect on pain, but muscle relaxants have an unfavorable risk-benefit balance.2 In this situation, it is necessary to turn to new non-drug therapeutic options to relieve pain of these patients. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-drug therapy that involves applying an electrical current through the skin. Through one or two pairs of electrodes stuck to the skin, TENS delivers painless, low-intensity electrical impulses to a painful area or a nerve pathway.\n\nTENS acts by selectively activating large-diameter non-nociceptive afferent fibers to induce segmental analgesia4. In addition, TENS increases the concentration of endorphins in the bloodstream and cerebrospinal fluid5.\n\nThe use of TENS has been studied mainly in chronic low-back pain. A 2007 Cochrane systematic review concluded that TENS appears to reduce pain and improve range of motion for subjects with chronic low back pain6.\n\nThe use of TENS in emergency departments has been little studied.
