273 Emergency Providers Did Not Adequately Manage Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Hemorrhage and Suspected Intracranial Hypertension

Abstract

addressed interventions were imaging studies (11 items; 29%) and use of antibiotics (9 items; 24%). Recommendations with the 10 highest overall ratings are shown in the Table ; due to a 4-way tie for 10th place, 13 items are included. Within this group, six items address imaging studies, including four that address imaging in children. Another five items focus on antibiotic use, including two regarding respiratory infections and another two regarding asymptomatic bacteruria.Conclusions: 38 CW recommendations from other specialties are highly relevant to emergency care. Imaging studies and antibiotic use are heavily represented among them.
