Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
However, very little is currently known about the use of diagnostic algorithms and management of this patient group in EDs across Europe. As a result, the application of guidelines and the management of TLOC by European Society of Emergency Medicine (EUSEM) members in different countries and hospitals, cannot yet be recommended for use in settings other than those where they have been successfully validated.
This study aims to describe the prevalence, clinical presentation, current assessment, management strategies and ESC risk categories of patients presenting with TLOC (undifferentiated or thought to be of syncopal origin) to the ED, and will provide data to help identify the gaps in our knowledge and practice, and areas where further research and development work is required to fully implement European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines within European EDs.
