Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The way to provide the right care for the right patient at the right time in contemporary crowding emergency departments is a major topic. For example, an increasing number of accurate strategies have been designed to optimize the determination of pulmonary embolism in the case of chest pain and reduce unnecessary resource wasting. Some issues are very specific in emergency setting. The role of the emergency department observation unit and structural protocols has been studied to better manage geriatric patients. The best management of patients with major trauma remains a challenge for emergency physicians. Moreover, the ”gray areas” of the guidelines are often a real problem in the management of frail patients with comorbidities. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on acute diseases and acute complications of chronic diseases, such as pulmonary embolism, trauma, acute heart failure, poisonings, or delirium, in terms of both diagnosis and treatment in an emergency department.
