The quality of pre-announcement communication and the accuracy of estimated arrival time in critically ill patients, a prospective observational study
Maris, M. ; Berben, S.A.A. ; Verhoef, W. ; Grunsven, P. van ; Tan, E.
2022, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Emergency Medicine, (2022))BACKGROUND: Efficient communication between (helicopter) emergency medical services ((H)EMS) and healthcare professionals in the emergency department (ED) is essential to facilitate appropriate team mobilization and preparation for critically ill patients. A correct estimated time of arrival (ETA) is crucial for patient safety and time-management since all team members have to be present, but needless waiting must be avoided. The aim of this study is to investigate the quality of the pre-announcement and the accuracy of the ETA. METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted in potentially critically ill/injured patients transported to the ED of a Level I trauma center by the (H)EMS. Research assistants observed time slots prior to arrival at the ED and during the initial assessment, using a stopwatch and an observation form. Information on the pre-announcement (including mechanisms of injury, vital signs, and the ETA) is also collected. RESULTS: One hundred and ninety-three critically ill/injured patients were included. Information in the pre-announcement was often incomplete; in particular vital signs (86%). Forty percent of the announced critically ill patients were non-critical at arrival in the ED. The observed time of arrival (OTA) for 66% of the patients was later than the provided ETA (median 5:15nmin) and 19% of the patients arrived sooner (3:10nmin). Team completeness prior to the arrival of the patient was achieved for 66% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of the pre-announcement is moderate, sometimes lacking essential information on vital signs. Forty percent of the critically ill patients turned out to be non-critical at the ED. Furthermore, the ETA was regularly inaccurate and team completeness was insufficient. However, none of the above was correlated to the rate of complications, mortality, LOS, ward of admission or discharge location.
Types, characteristics and anatomic location of physical signs in elder abuse: a systematic review Awareness and recognition of injury patterns
Houten, ME van ; Vloet, L.C.M. ; Pelgrim, T. ; Reijnders, UJL ; Berben, S.A.A.
2021, Article / Letter to editor (European Geriatric Medicine, (2021))Purpose Elder abuse is a worldwide problem with serious consequences for individuals and society. The recognition of elder abuse is complex due to a lack of awareness and knowledge. In this systematic review, types, characteristics and anatomic location of physical signs in elder abuse were identified. Methods Databases of MEDLINE, COCHRANE, EMBASE and CINAHL were searched. The publication dates ranged from March 2005 to July 2020. In addition to the electronic searches, the reference lists and citing of included articles were hand-searched to identify additional relevant studies. The quality of descriptive and mixed-methods studies was assessed. Results The most commonly described physical signs in elder abuse were bruises. The characteristics of physical signs can be categorized into size, shape and distribution. Physical signs were anatomically predominantly located on the head, face/maxillofacial area (including eyes, ears and dental area), neck, upper extremities and torso (especially posterior). Physical signs related to sexual elder abuse were mostly located in the genital and perianal area and often accompanied by a significant amount of injury to non-genital parts of the body, especially the area of the head, arms and medial aspect of the thigh. Conclusions Most common types, characteristics and anatomic location of physical signs in elder abuse were identified. To enhance (early) detection of physical signs in elder abuse, it is necessary to invest in (more) in-depth education and to include expertise from a forensic physician or forensic nurse in multidisciplinary team consultations. Key summary pointsAim Identify types, characteristics and anatomic location of physical signs in elder abuse. Findings Physical signs in elder abuse are most common bruises and anatomically predominantly located on the head, face/maxillofacial area, neck, upper extremities and torso. Message Increase knowledge on physical signs in elder abuse so as to enhance timely detection and intervention.

Solo emergency care by a physician assistant versus an ambulance nurse: a cross-sectional document study
Bloemhoff, A. ; Schoonhoven, Lisette ; Kreek, A.J.L. de ; van Grunsven, PM ; Laurant, M.G.H. ; Berben, S.A.A.
2016, Article / Letter to editor (Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, vol. 24, (2016))Background: This study compares the assessment, treatment, referral, and follow up contact with the dispatch centre of emergency patients treated by two types of solo emergency care providers in ambulance emergency medical services (EMS) in the Netherlands: the physician assistant (PA), educated in the medical domain, and the ambulance registered nurse (RN), educated in the nursing domain. The hypothesis of this study was that there is no difference in outcome of care between the patients of PAs and RNs. Methods: In a cross-sectional document study in two EMS regions we included 991 patients, treated by two PAs (n = 493) and 23 RNs (n = 498). The inclusion period was October 2010-December 2012 for region 1 and January 2013-March 2014 for region 2. Emergency care data were drawn from predefined and free text fields in the electronic patient records. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. We used chi(2) and Mann-Whitney U tests to analyse for differences in outcome of care. Statistical significance was assumed at a level of P < 0.05. Results: Patients treated by PAs and RNs were similar with respect to patient characteristics. In general, diagnostic measurements according to the national EMS standard were applied by RNs and by PAs. In line with the medical education, PAs used a medical diagnostic approach (16 %, n = 77) and a systematic physical exam of organ tract systems (31 %, n = 155). PAs and RNs provided similar interventions. Additionally, PAs consulted more often other medical specialists (33 %) than RNs (17 %) (chi(2) = 35.5, P < 0.0001). PAs referred less patients to the general practitioner or emergency department (50 %) compared to RNs (73 %) (chi(2) = 52.9, P < 0.0001). Patient follow up contact with the dispatch centre within 72 h after completion of the emergency care on scene showed no variation between PAs (5 %) and RNs (4 %). Conclusions: In line with their medical education, PAs seemed to operate from a more general medical perspective. They used a medical diagnostic approach, consulted more medical specialists, and referred significantly less patients to other health care professionals compared to RNs. While the patients of the PAs did not contact the dispatch centre more often afterwards.
Met spoed van de pijn af : De rol van de traumachirurg in pijnbehandeling op de spoedeisende hulp
Berben, S.A.A. ; Vugt, A. van ; Winkelhorst, J.
2012, Article / Letter to editor (Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Traumatologie, vol. 20, iss. 5, (2012), pp. 138-143)Pijn is de meest voorkomende klacht op de spoedeisende hulp (SEH). Dit artikel richt zich op de prevalentie van pijn en de onderbehandeling van pijn bij volwassen traumapatiënten op de SEH. Het artikel presenteert nieuwe inzichten in de pijnbehandeling, gebaseerd op een recentelijk ontwikkelde richtlijn voor pijnbehandeling bij traumapatiënten in de spoedzorgketen. Tot slot beschrijven we specifiek de rol van de traumachirurg bij de behandeling van pijn bij traumapatiënten op de SEH.

Berben, S.A.A. ; Meijs, T. ; Schoonhoven, Lisette ; Achterberg, Theo van ; Grunsven, P.M. van
2011, Article / Letter to editor (Injury : International Journal of the Care of the Injured, vol. 43, iss. 9, (2011), pp. 1397-1402)The aim of the study is to give insight into facilitators and barriers in pain management in trauma patients in the chain of emergency care in the Netherlands. A qualitative approach was adopted with the use of the implementation Model of Change of Clinical Practice. The chain of emergency care concerned prehospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Emergency Departments (EDs). We included two EMS ambulance services and three EDs and conducted five focus groups and 10 individual interviews. Stakeholders and managers of organisations were interviewed individually. Focus group participants were selected based on availability and general characteristics. Transcripts of the audio recordings and field notes were analysed in consecutive steps, based on thematic content analysis. Each step was independently performed by the researchers, and was discussed afterwards. We analysed differences and similarities supported by software for qualitative analysis MaxQDA.
Prevalence and relief of pain in trauma patients in Emergency Medical Services
Schoonhoven, Lisette ; Meijs, T. ; Berben, S.A.A. ; Vugt, A. van ; Grunsven, P.M. van
2011, Article / Letter to editor (Clinical Journal of Pain, vol. 27, iss. 7, (2011), pp. 587-592)The aim of this study was to give insight in the prevalence of pain, and the (effect of) pain management according to the national emergency medical services analgesia protocol in trauma patients in the Netherlands. The retrospective document study included adult and alert trauma patients. Data collection concerned patient characteristics, prevalence of pain, and the (effect of) pain management. Actual pain management was compared with the national emergency medical services analgesia protocol for paramedics. Pain relief was defined as a decrease on the Numeric Rating Scale. One thousand four hundred and seven trauma patients were included. A report on pain was missing in 28% of the patients (n=393), 2% of the patients (n=34) reported no pain, and the prevalence of pain was reported by 70% of the patients (n=980). Of the patients in pain, 31% (n=311) had a systematic pain assessment (Numeric Rating Scale) at the scene of accident and the median pain score was 6 (interquartile range=3 to 8). Pharmacological pain treatment was administered to 42% of the patients in pain (n=410), and consisted mainly of intravenous fentanyl. Nonpharmacological pain treatments were cleaning of wounds (n=189), and application of splints or immobilizing bandages (n=130). Pain relief on arrival in the emergency department could only be evaluated in 15% of the patients in pain (n=149).
Much to gain in pain. Pain management in trauma patients in prehospital and hospital based emergency care : Samenvatting proefschrift
Berben, S.A.A.
2011, Article / Letter to editor (Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Traumatologie, vol. 19, iss. 6, (2011), pp. 170-171)Adequate pijnbehandeling voor traumapatiënten is een complex probleem in de (prehospitale) spoedzorg. Het proefschrift geeft inzicht in de vroegtijdige, initiële pijnbehandeling voor evalueerbare traumapatiënten in de spoedzorg. Daarnaast wordt kennis aangereikt en is een landelijke richtlijn ontwikkeld voor pijnbehandeling bij traumapatiënten in de spoedzorgketen.
Pijn bij trauma : Gids voor pijnbestrijding in de spoedzorg
Schoonhoven, Lisette ; Vloet, L.C.M. ; Berben, S.A.A.
2011, Book (monograph) Dit boek is een gids voor pijnbestrijding bij trauma patiënten. Verpleegkundigen in de ambulancezorg en op de spoedeisende hulp werken dagelijks met deze patiënten. De praktijkgids bundelt de wetenschappelijke kennis uit een richtlijn en promotieonderzoek op een toegankelijke manier. Helder geordend en compact geschreven behandelt deze gids alle aspecten van de zorg voor pijn bij trauma: wat is pijn, hoe kun je pijn meten en bestrijden en tot slot hoe kun je de pijnbestrijding in de spoedzorg goed organiseren? De informatie is geïllustreerd met casuïstiek en uitspraken van patiënten, verpleegkundigen en artsen. Ook is een stroomschema voor farmacologische pijnbehandeling toegevoegd. Aan het eind van de hoofdstukken zijn de aanbevelingen voor de praktijk in een kader samengevat.
Acute pijn op de Spoedeisende Hulp : Beter behandelen
Berben, S.A.A. ; Bierens, J.J. ; Gakeer, M.I. ; Veugelers, R. ; Houser, C.M.
2010, Article / Letter to editor (Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde, vol. 2011, iss. 155, (2010), pp. A2241)Acute pijn komt vaak voor bij patiënten op de afdeling Spoedeisende Hulp en wordt nog steeds onderbehandeld. Herhaaldelijk meten en documenteren van pijn is essentieel voor adequate pijnbehandeling. De patiënt is richtinggevend in hoeveel analgesie nodig is. Gedurende het diagnostische proces hoort medicamenteuze pijnstilling niet te worden uitgesteld, ook niet in geval van buikpijn. Opioïden hebben een centrale rol in de behandeling van acute pijn; opiofobie is niet gerechtvaardigd. Adequate pijnbestrijding op de SEH dient zowel bij opname in het ziekenhuis als bij ontslag naar huis een effectief vervolg te krijgen.
Definition of Health 2.0 and Medicine 2.0 : A systematic review
Berben, S.A.A. ; Belt, T. van de ; Schoonhoven, Lisette ; Engelen, M.M.
2010, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Medical Internet Research, vol. 12, iss. 2, (2010), pp. e18)During the last decade, the Internet has become increasingly popular and is now an important part of our daily life. When new "Web 2.0" technologies are used in health care, the terms "Health 2.0" or "Medicine 2.0" may be used. The objective was to identify unique definitions of Health 2.0/Medicine 2.0 and recurrent topics within the definitions. A systematic literature review of electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL) and gray literature on the Internet using the search engines Google, Bing, and Yahoo was performed to find unique definitions of Health 2.0/Medicine 2.0. We assessed all literature, extracted unique definitions, and selected recurrent topics by using the constant comparison method.
Patient experiences regarding pain management in emergency care : A qualitative study
Kemps, H.H.L.M. ; Vruchte, te M. ; Berben, S.A.A. ; Mans, P.
2010, Article / Letter to editor (Critical Care, vol. 2010, iss. 6, (2010), pp. 16-21)Pijn is één van de meest voorkomende klachten in de spoedzorg. De behandeling van acute pijn in de spoedzorg is echter onvoldoende. Diverse zaken spelen hierbij een rol: bijvoorbeeld mythevorming, spanningsveld tussen pijnbestrijding en patiëntveiligheid tijdens spoedeisende hulp en de aanwezigheid van angst bij patiënten ten aanzien van pijnbestrijding. Daarnaast ontbreekt het veelal aan protocollen voor pijnbestrijding in de acute zorg en is er (dientengevolge) vaak sprake van tegenstrijdig handelen in de diverse schakels van de zorgketen. Het ontwikkelen van een multidisciplinaire, evidence based pijnrichtlijn voor patiënten in de spoedzorg levert antwoord op vragen en mispercepties uit de dagelijkse praktijk en draagt bij aan het verbeteren van de pijnbestrijding in de spoedzorg.

Kemps, H.H.L.M. ; Berben, S.A.A. ; Meijs, T.
2009, Article / Letter to editor (Nursing, vol. 2009, iss. 3, (2009), pp. 33)Pijn bij traumapatiënten is een veel voorkomend probleem, waar tijdens de behandeling te weinig aandacht voor is. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van verpleegkundig onderzoeker Sivera Berben. Samen met collega’s ontwikkelt ze een richtlijn hiervoor.
