Byline: Seth W Wright, Keith D Wrenn Abstract: Study objective: The emergence of vancomycin-resistant organisms is a major problem at many hospitals. Vancomycin use is associated with development of resistance. The objective of this study was to determine the appropriateness of vancomycin use in the emergency department. In addition, we sought to determine whether appropriateness of vancomycin use increased after the publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for prudent vancomycin use. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care university hospital, and all patients who received vancomycin while in the ED during the first 6 months of each year from 1995-1997 were eligible for study. We developed appropriateness criteria based on national and local guidelines. Vancomycin use was determined to be appropriate or inappropriate according to these guidelines. Results: Vancomycin use increased each year of the 3-year study period; 40% of use was considered inappropriate. However, appropriateness increased in a linear fashion (P Article History: Received 12 February 1998; Revised 4 May 1998; Accepted 12 May 1998 Article Note: (footnote) [star] From the Department of Emergency Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN., [star][star] Address for reprints: Seth W Wright, MD, MPH, 703 Oxford House, Department of Emergency Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN 27232, E-mail seth.wright@mcmail.vanderbilt.edu., a 0196-0644/98/$5.00 + 0 47/1/93443

Byline: Seth W Wright, Laurie M Lawrence, Keith D Wrenn, Mary Lou Haynes, Larry W Welch, Heide M Schlack Abstract: Objective: Melatonin has received considerable publicity for its sleep-promoting properties; however, there is little scientific evidence of its efficacy. The objective of this study is to determine whether there are measurable beneficial effects from exogenous melatonin in emergency physicians after intermittent night-shift duty. Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover trial was conducted in the emergency department of an urban tertiary care hospital. Fifteen emergency physicians were given melatonin 5 mg or placebo for 3 consecutive nights after night-shift duty with crossover to the opposite agent after a subsequent block of night shifts. The primary outcome measure was the global assessment of recovery measured by a visual analog scale. Secondary outcome measures included sleep quality, duration, and tiredness. In addition, the Profile of Mood States questionnaire and neuropsychologic testing were performed. Results: There was no difference between melatonin and placebo in the global assessment of recovery (60.4[+ or -]16.9 and 58.9[+ or -]14.5, respectively; P =.29). There were no differences in sleep quality, duration or tiredness scores, sleep latency, hours of sleep obtained per night, and night or early awakening at any measurement point. Profile of Mood States and neuropsychologic test performances were similar. Conclusion: We found no beneficial effect of melatonin on sleep quality, tiredness, or cognitive function in emergency physicians after night-shift duty. Our results suggest that exogenous melatonin is of limited value in recovery from night-shift work in emergency physicians.

Byline: Seth W Wright, Corey M Slovis Abstract: Study objective: Tenure was designed to guarantee academic freedom through lifelong job security. Productive research, especially in the basic sciences, is the main criterion for tenure at most institutions; therefore faculty in more clinically focused specialties may experience more difficulty obtaining tenure. We examined the relationship between academic emergency medicine and tenure. Methods: We used a questionnaire to survey the directors of all 108 approved US emergency medicine residency programs. The surveyed population was asked whether the program was affiliated with a medical school, the number of full-time faculty, and how many faculty members were tenured or on the tenure track. Follow-up mailings were sent to nonresponders. We also conducted a search of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) database to compare the number of emergency medicine faculty involved in the tenure process in other specialties. Results: One hundred surveys (93%) were returned. At programs in which faculty were eligible for tenure, 9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4% to 16%) were tenured and 27% (95% CI, 19% to 37%) were on the tenure track. Therefore only 36% of all EM faculty (95% CI, 27% to 46%) were tenured or on the tenure track. Among the 53 residency programs that offered tenure, 45% (95% CI, 32% to 60%) had no tenured faculty. At programs with academic department status, 74% of chairs were tenured, in contrast to only 32% of chiefs at institutions without academic department status (95% CI for difference of 42%, 14% to 71%). The AAMC survey revealed that about one-third as many emergency medicine faculty members were tenured compared with the other specialties. The proportion of faculty on the tenure track, however, was similar between the specialties. Conclusion: Most eligible emergency medicine faculty members are not tenured or on track to become tenured, and fewer emergency medicine faculty are tenured compared with the more traditional specialties. Emergency medicine may be vulnerable to being considered less academic unless its faculty members gain access to the tenure process. [Wright SW, Slovis CM: Tenure track in emergency medicine.

Mathisen Abstract: Objective: Induction chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery may improve survival rates among patients with esophageal carcinoma. We designed a novel intense induction regimen with paclitaxel and high-dose hyperfractionated radiotherapy to maximize complete response rates. Methods: Forty patients with esophageal cancer were treated in a phase I and II trial of induction chemotherapy (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and paclitaxel) at three dosage levels (75, 125, and 100 mg/m.sup.2) and concurrent hyperfractionated radiotherapy (45 Gy to the mediastinum, 58.5 Gy to the tumor). The mean age was 62 years, and 32 patients(80%) had adenocarcinoma. Twenty-eight of 40 (70%) patients had locally advanced tumors (T3, or stage IIB or greater). Results: The average hospitalization for induction treatment was 17 days. Toxicity was substantial, with esophagitis necessitating nutritional support the most common complication. The maximum tolerated dose of paclitaxel was 100 mg/m.sup.2. Two patients died during induction treatment. Thirty-six patients (90%) underwent resection. The median length of stay was 10 days, and two patients died after the operation. Fourteen of 36 patients (39%) had a pathologic complete response. Patients who received all prescribed chemotherapy had a higher pathologic complete response rate (50%) than did patients who required dose reduction (17%; p = 0.076). The 2-year survival rate was 61% (95% CI 35% to 86%) with a median follow-up of 11.9 months. Conclusions: Paclitaxel at a dose of 100 mg/m.sup.2 appears to have acceptable toxicity. The high pathologic complete response rate in this regimen is encouraging, but it is associated with substantial toxicity. The toxicity of this regimen is not acceptable and will require substantial reduction in the radiation component. Survival data are too short-term to confirm enhanced survival.

Byline: Seth W Wright, Keith D Wrenn, Lindsay Murray, Donna Seger Abstract: Study objective: To examine the clinical presentation and outcome of patients treated in the ED or toxicology clinic for suspected brown recluse spider bites. Methods: We assembled a retrospective case series of patients at a southeastern US university hospital. Our study group comprised 111 patients with suspected brown recluse spider bites treated during a 30-month period. Our main outcome measures were the need for skin grafting and the development of other complications. Results: The mean age of our subjects was 34[+ or -]17 years. Thirteen patients (12%) brought the spider to the hospital, 22 (20%) saw a spider at the time of the bite, and an exclusively clinical diagnosis was made in the remaining 76 (68%). Most wounds (59%) involved the leg. At the time of presentation, 81% had central discoloration and 37% necrosis. Sixteen patients (14%) were systemically ill, and 6 (5%) were admitted to the hospital. Most (86%) were treated with antibiotics. Dapsone was infrequently used (9%) and had usually been prescribed before the patient's presentation to our ED. Only three patients (3%; 95% confidence interval, 1% to 8%) required skin grafting. Mild hemolytic anemia developed in one patient, and another had mild hemolysis and a mild coagulopathy; neither patient was taking dapsone. No deaths or serious complications occurred in our study group. Conclusion: In our series, long-term outcome after brown recluse spider bite was good. Serious complications were rare, as was the need for skin grafting. Because the vast majority of bites heal with supportive care alone, aggressive medical therapy does not appear warranted.

Byline: Tom Meyer, Keith Wrenn, Seth W Wright, Judd Glaser, Corey M Slovis Abstract: Study objective: To determine the attitudes of patients, their family and friends, and ED staff toward a walk-through metal detector in the ED. Methods: We conducted a survey of a convenience sample of ED patrons (patients and their friends and family) and staff at a university-affiliated Level I trauma center. Results: We surveyed 176 patrons and 95 employees (35 nurses, 30 physicians, 16 security officers, and 14 staff members). Overall, 80% of the patrons and 85% of the employees said they liked the metal detector. Eighty-nine percent of the patrons and 73% of the employees said the metal detector made them feel safer. Only 12% of the patrons and 10% of the employees said the metal detector invaded their privacy or the privacy of others. Fewer than 1% of the patrons said they were less likely to return to our ED because of the metal detector, and 39% said it made them more likely to return. We detected no significant differences with regard to age, sex, or race. Conclusion: Most patrons and staff liked the metal detector and said it created a safer ED environment. Only a few disliked the presence of the metal detector or said it invaded their privacy. Institutions concerned about their employees' and patrons' perceptions of safety should consider installing metal detectors in their EDs.

Byline: Robert O Wright, Barbarajean Magnani, Michael W Shannon, Alan D Woolf Abstract: Study objective: To determine whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC)reduces methemoglobin. Methods: We carried out an in vitro laboratory experiment in which five healthy adult volunteers donated blood. Each sample was divided equally among three test tubes. Tube 1 served as a negative control. Sodium nitrite .18 mol/L with dextrose .28 mol/L was added to tube 2 and to tube 3. Next, phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) was added to tube 2 and NAC (200 mg/mL) to tube 3. Serial methemoglobin levels were measured over 5.5 hours. Results: Maximum methemoglobin levels were observed at 1.5 hours for both the NAC-nitrite and the PBS-nitrite sample (62.7%[+ or -]8.1% and 65.1%[+ or -]7.0%, respectively; data expressed as mean[+ or -]SD). The mean difference in methemoglobin between NAC-nitrite and PBS-nitrite was significant at 4.5 hours (29.3%[+ or -]23.0%, P=.046). The mean rate of methemoglobin decline in NAC-nitrite samples was also different from that of PBS-nitrite samples (10.7%[+ or -]1.0% versus 2.9%[+ or -]2.3%, P=.002). The rate of decline was linear (zero order) in the NAC-nitrite samples and represented by the equation: % change methemoglobin =.18 x time in minutes.

Byline: Cameron D. Wright, John C. Wain, Douglas J. Mathisen, Hermes C. Grillo Abstract: Objective: Postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula remains a morbid complication after pneumonectomy. The incidence, risk factors, and management of postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula were evaluated in 256 consecutive patients who underwent pneumonectomy with a standardized suture closure of the bronchus. Methods: Pneumonectomy was performed for lung cancer in 198 cases, for other malignancy in 20 cases, and for benign causes in 38 cases. The bronchial stump was closed with interrupted simple sutures to emphasize a long, membranous wall flap. All stumps were covered by autologous tissue. Results: The incidence of postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula was 3.1%. Risk factors for bronchopleural fistula were the need for postoperative ventilation (p = 0.0001) and right pneumonectomy (p = 0.04). Five patients had bronchopleural fistulas as a result of pulmonary complications necessitating ventilation; the cause in the remaining three cases appeared to be technical. Reclosure was successful in five cases (mean postoperative day 12); in one case a pinhole fistula was healed by drainage alone. Two (25%) of the eight patients who had bronchopleural fistulas died. Conclusions: Careful, sutured closure of the main bronchus with a tissue buttress after pneumonectomy yields excellent results. The most significant risk factor for bronchopleural fistula is a pulmonary complication necessitating ventilation. Contrary to previous reports, reclosure is usually successful even if performed late.

Design: Prospective, single-blinded observational study of 297 ambulance runs conducted for 3 months. Setting: A metropolitan emergency medical service system. Participants: Sixty-nine emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Interventions: None. Results: Observers recorded the handling of sharps and the use of personal protective equipment in four situations: IV line placement, endotracheal intubation, large-wound management, and body fluid hazard. Emergency medical workers properly handled sharps in 24 of 65 situations (37%). They were usually compliant with glove use during the observed procedures. However, compliance with the use of other personal protective equipment was poor. Conclusion: Sharps were often improperly handled. Most workers complied with recommendations for the use of gloves but often underused goggles, masks, and gowns. Although education and restructuring of the environment and equipment may improve compliance, strong consideration should be given to developing standardized and more practical recommendations for the prehospital environment.

Wright (*) Keywords: cognitive aging; cerebrovascular disease; risk factors Abstract: In spite of the breakneck speed at which understanding of the biological basis of the aging process has evolved, the important determinants of aging and longevity have yet to be uncovered. The preservation of cognitive functioning is an essential component of successful aging, and the ability to distinguish those who maintain cognitive health into advanced age from those who experience cognitive decline may influence public health efforts to prevent or delay the onset of cognitive impairment in old age. There is growing evidence implicating vascular risk factors and related subclinical cerebrovascular damage in cognitive impairment and dementia, but Alzheimer's disease is highly prevalent in older populations, and the role of inflammation in vascular and neurodegenerative processes is poorly understood. There is a growing need to examine the effects of these factors on normal cognitive aging. This brief survey of the literature reviews evidence of the roles of subclinical vascular brain damage and exposure to cerebrovascular risk factors in normal cognitive aging.
