“…3) Summarize: After the discussion, the teacher and students will jointly summarize the characteristics of clinical emergency department, the concept of common diseases, clinical diagnosis and precautions. At the same time, students are required to complete a reflection diary and sort out the ideas for solving problems to promote Theory and practice ( Patidar and Pichholiya, 2016 ; Tabassum et al, 2017 ).…”

At present, with the rapid increase of emergency knowledge and the improvement of people’s requirements for medical quality, the traditional teaching mode cannot fully meet the needs of emergency teaching in the new era. PBL is a project-based teaching that allows students to have a deeper understanding of content knowledge and to better apply what they have learned to their lives. This paper aims to improve the clinical emergency teaching mode by PBL teaching method, and improve the comprehensive ability of clinical emergency of medical students. This article proposes a problem-based PBL imaging teaching method, combining the characteristics and content of clinical emergency courses, focusing on students, highlighting the problem-solving process, and improving students’ creative thinking ability. To cultivate students’ interest in clinical learning, develop their self-learning ability, train their teamwork and communication skills, and cultivate their ability to set, question and solve questions, so as to promote medical students’ overall comprehensive ability to integrate specialized knowledge and clinical practice. In this paper, the PBL teaching method and the traditional teaching method of comparative experiments show that the PBL teaching method can more effectively highlight the characteristics of clinical emergency medicine teaching mode, and make full use of the limited emergency teaching resources, so as to improve the quality of clinical emergency teaching. Compared with the traditional teaching mode, the theoretical knowledge and clinical operation skills of medical students under the PBL teaching mode are improved by 13%, Autonomous learning ability, communication ability and creative thinking ability have also been relatively improved.

Introduction:The Emergency Medicine Department presents distinct challenges, both diagnostic uncertainty and time constraints. Promptly administering the right drugs in this setting can be crucial for saving lives. Hence, we conducted a study to analyse the prescriptions in the patients admitted to Emergency Medicine Department. Method: This is a prospective, observational single center study conducted at the Emergency Medicine department for one year. The study was started after approval from Institutional Review Board (IRB). All patients of any gender and any co-morbidities admitted to emergency medicine department were included in the study. Results: In this study, total 305 patients included, out of which majority 79 (25.9%) patients were in the age young group 31-40 years. Gender distribution depicts 262 (85.9%) and 43 (14.09%) were males and females respectively. Two wheeler accidents 119 (39.01%) were the most common. Total 186 (64.13%) patients having GCS score 11-15. Pantoprazole was the most commonly prescribed drug, prescribed in 200 (81.96%) prescriptions. Ondansetron was in used in 90 (28.19%) patients. Cefixime is used in 70 (22.95%), ofloxacin in 30 (9.83%). The fixed drug combination, Glipizide + Metformin was used in 36 (11.80%) patients. Conclusion: Our study provides various insights into the analysis of prescribing drugs in the uniquely challenging environment of the Emergency department. The prescribed medications in the study were as per the patient's condition. We propose that future studies should be conducted to explore the rational management of patients. INTRODUCTION:Prescribing medications poses constant difficulties for healthcare providers, particularly in emergency situations. The Emergency Department presents distinct challenges, as clinicians often encounter both diagnostic uncertainty and time constraints. Promptly administering the right drugs in this setting can be crucial for saving lives 1 .

“…In this setting, health care providers are expected to make quick decisions, often with high precision, as this can make the difference between life and death for the patient. Other factors such as heavy patient load and limited resources, particularly in developing countries, are another challenge health care providers face in this department (Patidar and Pichholiya, 2016;Yarmohammadian et al, 2017). As a result, physicians are struggling to select, initiate, and individualize appropriate drug therapy for patients admitted in the emergency medicine ward, not to mention the problems associated with administration (Peth, 2003;Dalen, 2010;Cheekavolu et al, 2011;Dabaghzadeh et al, 2013;Vazin et al, 2014;Di Simone et al, 2018).…”

Background: Ensuring rational drug use requires ongoing evaluation of drug prescribing, dispensing, and use by patients. Health care providers working in an emergency department face unique challenges, including making urgent decisions, patient overload, and limited resources, which contribute to inappropriate drug use. Rational medication use should be an important aspect of emergency care to improve patient outcomes. Thus, this study was conducted to assess medication utilization patterns using World Health Organization (WHO) prescribing indicators in the emergency department. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was implemented among patients presenting at the emergency department of Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital (HFSUH) from January to March 2018. The data were collected from the medical charts of a total of 342 patients using a pre-prepared structured format according to WHO recommendations. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 software and presented in tables and figures.Results: The most commonly reported clinical diagnosis was found to be soft tissue laceration or abrasion, in 75 patients (21.9%), followed by dyspepsia, in 50 (14.6%), and severe pneumonia, in 44 (12.9%). A total of 810 drugs were prescribed for the 342 patients. The main category of drugs prescribed were analgesics, constituting 125 (29.2%), followed by antibiotics, 120 (28.0%). Regarding WHO prescribing indicators, the average number of drugs prescribed per encounter was 2.36, the number of encounters at which antibiotics were prescribed was 127 (37.13%), and injections were prescribed at 300 (87.7%) encounters. All of the drugs prescribed were from the National Essential Medicine List (NEML) of Ethiopia, and 780 (98.1%) of the drugs were prescribed by international nonproprietary name.
