This study aimed to evaluate the availability and use of dental and maxillofacial emergency algorithms in Swiss hospitals. A survey was performed among physicians at Swiss emergency departments (ED) and participants of the "36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Oral and Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery". Eighty-nine EDs in Switzerland were questioned about the availability and use of electronic algorithms in their hospitals. Eighty-one (91%) participated in the study. In 75 (93%) of the EDs, electronic algorithms are used, mainly "medStandards". Six have no available algorithms. Fifty-two (64%) use algorithms daily. Eight (10%) Swiss EDs have maxillofacial and dental algorithms, and 73 (90%) have no access to or do not know about them. For dental algorithms, 28 (38%) of the respondents would like to have access, and 16 (22%) do not desire access. For maxillofacial algorithms, 23 (32%) want to have access and 21 (29%) do not want it. Most (74%) of the participating maxillofacial surgeons did not know about the existence of ED algorithms regarding their specialty. Our study shows that the existence of specific algorithms is often not known. Furthermore, there is a demand for dental and maxillofacial algorithms in Swiss EDs.
本研究旨在评估瑞士医院牙科和颌面急诊算法的可用性及使用情况。对瑞士急诊科医生以及“口腔颌面外科协会第36届年会”的参会者进行了一项调查。针对瑞士的89个急诊科，询问了其医院中电子算法的可用性及使用情况。81个（91%）参与了该研究。在75个（93%）急诊科中，使用电子算法，主要是“医学标准”。有6个没有可用算法。52个（64%）每天使用算法。8个（10%）瑞士急诊科有颌面和牙科算法，73个（90%）无法获取或不知道这些算法。对于牙科算法，28个（38%）受访者希望能够获取，16个（22%）不希望获取。对于颌面算法，23个（32%）希望获取，21个（29%）不希望获取。大多数（74%）参与调查的颌面外科医生不知道针对其专业的急诊科算法的存在。我们的研究表明，特定算法的存在情况往往不为人所知。此外，瑞士急诊科对牙科和颌面算法有需求。
