To describe alcohol and drug use patterns in patients presenting to first aid stations at major rock concerts.
We retrospectively reviewed all charts generated at the first aid stations of five major rock concerts featuring the rock groups Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, and the Rolling Stones. The first aid stations, located at a sports stadium, were staffed by paramedics, emergency medicine nurses, and physicians. We recorded the following data: patient demographics, history of drug or ethanol use, time spent by patient in first aid station, treatment rendered, diagnosis, and patient disposition.
A total of 253, 286 spectators attended the five concert events. The rate of use of the first aid station was 1.2 per 1,000 patrons. The average age of the patrons was 26.3 +/- 7.9 years (range, 3 to 56 years). The most common diagnoses were minor trauma 130 (42%) and ethanol or illicit drug intoxication 98 (32%). Of the patients treated, 147 (48%) admitted to using illicit drugs or ethanol while attending the concerts. The median time spent in the first aid station was 15 +/- 22.5 minutes (range, 5 to 150 minutes). One hundred patients (32.5%) were treated and released, 98 (32%) were transported to emergency departments, and 110 (35.5%) signed out against medical advice.
Minor trauma and the use of illicit drugs and ethanol were common in spectators presenting to first aid stations at these concert events. Physicians and paramedical personnel working at rock concerts should be aware of the current drug use patterns and should be trained in treating such drug use.
描述在大型摇滚音乐会急救站就诊患者的酒精和药物使用模式。
我们回顾性分析了五场由平克·弗洛伊德、感恩而死和滚石乐队等摇滚团体举办的大型摇滚音乐会急救站产生的所有病历。急救站位于一个体育场内，工作人员包括护理人员、急诊医学护士和医生。我们记录了以下数据：患者人口统计学信息、药物或乙醇使用史、患者在急救站停留的时间、接受的治疗、诊断结果以及患者去向。
共有253286名观众参加了这五场音乐会。急救站的使用率为每1000名观众中有1.2人次。观众的平均年龄为26.3±7.9岁（范围为3至56岁）。最常见的诊断是轻度创伤130例（42%）和乙醇或非法药物中毒98例（32%）。在接受治疗的患者中，147例（48%）承认在音乐会期间使用了非法药物或乙醇。在急救站停留的中位时间为15±22.5分钟（范围为5至150分钟）。100名患者（32.5%）接受治疗后出院，98名（32%）被送往急诊科，110名（35.5%）不听从医嘱自行离开。
在这些音乐会活动的急救站就诊的观众中，轻度创伤以及非法药物和乙醇的使用很常见。在摇滚音乐会工作的医生和医护人员应了解当前的药物使用模式，并应接受治疗此类药物使用的培训。
