Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal transradial access (dTRA) has been suggested to have great advantages over cTRA. However, there is a lack of preliminary data on dTRA in patients undergoing emergency coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To explore the feasibility and safety of distal transradial access in patients with acute chest pain. METHODS A total of 1269 patients complaining of acute chest pain in our emergency department from January 2020 to February 2022 were retrospectively included. The patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into the conventional transradial access (cTRA) group (n = 238) and the dTRA group (n = 158). Propensity score matching was used to minimize the baseline differences. RESULTS The cannulation success rate in the dTRA group was significantly lower than that in the cTRA group (87.41% vs. 94.81%, p < 0.05). No significant differences in the puncture time and total procedure time were noted between the two groups (p > 0.05). Compared with the cTRA group, the hemostasis duration was significantly shorter [4(4, 4) h vs. 10(8, 10) h, p < 0.001) and the incidence of minor bleeding (BARC Type I and II) was significantly lower in the dTRA group than that in the cTRA group (0.85% vs. 5.48%, p = 0.045). Asymptomatic radial artery occlusion was observed in six patients (5.83%) in the cTRA group and one patient (1.14%) in the dTRA group (p = 0.126). The subgroup analysis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) showed no significant differences in the puncture time, D-to-B time or total procedure time between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The dTRA for emergency CAG or PCI has an acceptable success rate and puncture time, a shorter hemostasis time, and a downward trend in RAO rate compared to the cTRA. The dTRA did not increase the D-to-B time in emergency coronary interventions in STEMI patients. On the contrary, a low incidence of RAO by the dTRA created an opportunity for future coronary interventions in non-culprit vessels in the same access.

DEUTSCHES ARZTEBLATT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 119:640-646. [PMID: 35912425 PMCID: PMC9764348 DOI: 10.3238/arztebl.m2022.0276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 07/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inpatient admission rates and the resources required upon admission to the hospital were studied as a function of the type of referral to the emergency department (ED) of a university hospital. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data concerning patients who were treated in the ED of the University of Leipzig Medical Center in 2019. The following data were recorded: process data, type of referral, hospital admission vs. discharge from the ED, and leading symptom according to classification as "trauma" or "non-trauma." For all admitted patients, the Patient Clinical Complexity Level (PCCL), length of hospital stay, and intensive care (yes/no) with or without ventilation were recorded. RESULTS Data on 34 178 patients (50.9 ± 22.2 years, 53.8% male) were analyzed; 28.8% of patients were referred because of "trauma," and the remaining 71.2% for "non trauma". The most common sources of referral were the rescue and emergency medical services (47.7%) and the patients themselves (self-referrals, 44.7%); 7.6% of the patients were referred by a resident doctor or general practitioner (physician). 62.6% were discharged from the ED after diagnosis and treatment, while 37.4% were admitted to the hospital. In comparison with self-referred patients as a baseline, the likelihood of inpatient admission was higher when the patient was referred by a physician (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.2), by the emergency rescue service without an emer - gency physician (OR 3.4), by an emergency physician (OR 9.3), or by the helicopter rescue service (OR 44.1). 49.1% of patients with trauma referred themselves to the ER, and 36% were referred by the emergency rescue service. Older and male patients were more likely to be admitted to the hospital, especially for non-trauma. 30.4% of the admitted patients required intensive care, and 35.5% of the patients in intensive care required ventilation. CONCLUSION Whether a patient is admitted to the hospital depends on the source of the referral and the leading symptom on arrival in the ED. One in every six self-referred patients is admitted to the hospital, particularly when the reason for presenting to the ER is non-traumatic and some of them go on to receive intensive care. The high percentage (around 95%) of self-referred trauma patients that are discharged from the ED presumably indicates that they were referred mainly for the exclusion of dangerous conditions, and/or that appropriate care options are lacking in the community setting.

Abstract
Objective: An increase in the appearance of chest pain among children is observed globally. The authors present various reasons for their appearance. As can be seen from numerous observations, the majority of cases are not related to the pathology of the circulatory system. Increasingly, studies on the causes of chest pain in children show their association with musculoskeletal disorders. Aim: of the work was assessment of body posture in children with chest pain using the Diers Formetric 4D system. Methods: The study involved a group of 184 female and male children, aged 7-12 years. The study group consisted of 64 patients with chest pain. The children from this group were diagnosed with functional chest pain by a cardiologist. The control group consisted of 120 patients without chest pain. The study included the assessment of body posture using the DIERS Formetric system. Results: The analysis of the results obtained during the study showed that among the children with chest pain, there are statistically significant irregularities in the parameters determining body posture compared to the control group. Comparing the study group with the control group, there is a statistically significant difference in the lateral deviation of VPDM (rms) (mm) (p = 0.001). Both children from the test group aged 9-10 and 11-12 obtained higher results than their peers from the control group. In the group of the youngest children in terms of the lateral deviation of VPDM (rms) (mm), increasing the number of children under study would contribute to significant differences in this variable. In the study group, among children aged 9-10 years, there were also statistically significant abnormalities regarding trunk imbalance and pelvic skewness compared to the children of the same age in the control group. Conclusions: Irregularities in the parameters determining body posture may cause chest pain in children.
