In a 3-month prospective study, intravenous drug abusers represented 1.14% of all new attendances at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. They generated a significant workload and were often difficult to identify. A very high proportion required surgery or other invasive procedures. The clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the patients were often unexpected. The risks to staff and other implications for the A&E department are discussed.
在一项为期3个月的前瞻性研究中,静脉注射吸毒者占格拉斯哥皇家医院所有新就诊人数的1.14%。他们带来了大量的工作量,而且往往难以识别。很大一部分人需要进行手术或其他侵入性操作。这些患者的临床和流行病学特征常常出人意料。本文讨论了对工作人员的风险以及对急诊科的其他影响。
