Causal Analysis of Emergency Department Delays
Quality Management in Health Care, 2015Improvement teams make causal inferences, but the methods they use are based on statistical associations. This article shows how data and statistical models can be used to help improvement teams make causal inferences and find the root causes of problems.This article uses attribution data, competing risk survival analysis, and Bayesian network ...

Stroke patients’ delay of emergency treatment
Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, 2010Scand J Caring Sci; 2010; 24; 307–311 Stroke patients’ delay of emergency treatment Treatment of stroke victims with fibrinolysis should take place within a time limit of 3 hours. In spite of comprehensive endeavours to reduce hospital arrival time, too many patients still delay arrival beyond this time limit.

Emergency Services in Delay Tolerant Environments
IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference, 2006There are number of mechanisms and algorithms available to achieve ad hoc communication. However, establishing communication between heterogeneous networks with fragile connectivity, is still a challenging task. Existing transport protocols like TCP are not well suited to networks with instable bandwidth and connectivity. In such environments, services

Radiological Delay and the Impact of Radiological Delay on Emergency department Throughput
South Asian Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2021Introduction Radiological delay is one of the main causes of increase in throughput time of ED. The objective of this study was to ascertain the performance delay of the radiological investigations frequently utilized in ED including CT scans, ultrasound and MRI and ways to improve the throughput.

Delay Reduced Multimedia Transmission in Medical Emergencies
2018 International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communications and Informatics (ICACCI), 2018With the growing population across the world, medical emergencies are also increasing. During such emergencies, we often need to transport the patient to a distant hospital for specialty medical attention. While the patient is in transit in an ambulance, the transmission of medical images such as X-ray, ultrasonography (USG) etc.

Emergence of adaptability to time delay in bipedal locomotion
Biological Cybernetics, 2004Based on neurophysiological evidence, theoretical studies have shown that locomotion is generated by mutual entrainment between the oscillatory activities of central pattern generators (CPGs) and body motion. However, it has also been shown that the time delay in the sensorimotor loop can destabilize mutual entrainment and result in the failure to walk.

Avoiding delays in emergency admissions
BMJ, 1994EDITOR, - Once a decision has been made to admit acutely ill patients it is absurd to keep them waiting on trolleys in busy accident and emergency departments while hard pressed junior doctors search for beds to accommodate them. Charging the hospitals with the responsibility to ensure a minimum wait1 may help to alleviate the sufferings of patients ...

Delayed poisoning emergencies.
Emergency medical services, 2003The American Association of Poison Control Centers (PCCs) has a nationwide toll-free number for contacting regional poison centers. To be automatically connected to a local poison center, call 800/222-1222. EMS providers should follow local protocols to determine how to contact PCCs, either directly or through on-line medical control.

Proceedings of the 20th International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications, 2019
The number and intensity of natural disasters have drastically increased in recent years and are anticipated to continue doing so. In addition to directly threatening human lives, disasters cripple communication and electric infrastructure, compounding the negative impact on humans, as observed for instance during Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico [1 ...

Delayed mobilization of the emergency physician in prehospital missions
European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1999A retrospective analysis of 118 prehospital missions involving vitally important therapy (anaesthesia or resuscitation with admission) was carried out. Primary mobilization of the emergency physician (EP) (i.e. before arrival of the rescue ambulance) was carried out by the alarm dispatch centre in only 36% of these missions.
