Impact of mass gathering events on emergency healthcare services: informing health service planning for safer communities (DECRA)

Mass gathering events occur frequently across Australia. The preparation of a mass gathering event from an emergency healthcare service perspective is conducted with limited evidence to support decision-making. Using routinely collected tourism, health, and meteorological data, this research aims to determine the impact on ambulance and emergency department services in the vicinity of 750 planned mass gathering events over a five year period (2015 – 2019). The expected outcome includes an enhanced ability to predict the required emergency healthcare services for a mass gathering event, therefore enhancing the planning and response, benefiting MGE attendees and the MGE host community.

BUCKLED RCT: Bedside ultrasound conducted in kids with distal upper limb fractures in the emergency department (randomised controlled trial)

Project commenced:

Children frequently present to the emergency department with forearm injuries and often have an x-ray to assess if there is a fracture. Bedside ultrasound is a test that emergency practitioners can use to rapidly diagnose a fracture at the time of examination, without exposing children to ionising radiation. This trial will assess whether an x-ray is unnecessary when there is either a buckle fracture or no fracture seen on a portable ultrasound machine. We will also determine the time and cost implications of this new approach, which could enable families to go home earlier and could be more cost-effective, with less x-rays being ordered.
