Background: Thai Nguyen province have many national and provincial level hospitals. There are a large number of children patients who admitted hospital yearly. Objectives:This study aims to determine the rate patients with emergency status admitted and managed in leu of general hospitals in Thai Nguyen. Subjects and method: A cross - sectional study was done at pediatric departments of general hospitals in Thai Nguyen from April 2004 to April 2005. The data was collected and analyzed by EpiInfo6.04 software. Results:Among 5595 patients admitted hospital, there was 1270 patients hospitalized in emergency unit account for 22.7%, the respiratory disease was the most common. The rate of emergency patient hospitalized directly was very high (38,7 % to 61,9%). The rate of patients who received the first aid or care in community health station was low (10.3 - 20.7%). A great majority of patients were brought to hospital on motorbike. Conclusion: Among the emergency diseases, the highest rate was respiratory disease, then neonatal. The highest mortality rate at Thai Nguyen General Hospital was 13,7%.

BACKGROUND: Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital emergency laboratory introduced Cobas(R) 6000 (Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland) to improve the turnaround time of emergency chemistry tests at peak time period. METHODS: For the designated period, before and after introduction of Cobas(R) 6000 the numbers of tests and test time were compared and we analyzed the process of the tests using Workflow simulator (Roche Diagnostics). RESULTS: The numbers of tests of 8 days (every Monday and Thursday) in June, 2007 and 2008 were 22,902 and 27,384. The mean test time of the 8 days in June, 2007 and 2008 were 13 min 41 sec and 12 min 22 sec. In 2007, increased mean test time was due to prolongation of waiting times in rotor within equipment for tests at peak time period. CONCLUSIONS: Using Cobas(R) 6000, the numbers of tests were increased at peak time period but mean test time was reduced, which made physicians and laboratory all satisfied.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the cohesions status of the coordination within response teams in the emergency response team (ERT) in a refinery. METHODS: For this study, cohesion indicators of social network analysis (SNA; density, degree centrality, reciprocity, and transitivity) were utilized to examine the coordination of the response teams as a whole network. The ERT of this research, which was a case study, included seven teams consisting of 152 members. The required data were collected through structured interviews and were analyzed using the UCINET 6.0 Social Network Analysis Program. RESULTS: The results reported a relatively low number of triple connections, poor coordination with key members, and a high level of mutual relations in the network with low density, all implying that there were low cohesions of coordination in the ERT. CONCLUSION: The results showed that SNA provided a quantitative and logical approach for the examination of the coordination status among response teams and it also provided a main opportunity for managers and planners to have a clear understanding of the presented status. The research concluded that fundamental efforts were needed to improve the presented situations.

Emergency splenectomy is the therapy of choice after trying to prevent bleeding by other methods. Without result in immune thrombocytopenic for operative in patient to reduce mortality and morbidity rate. It is now generally agreed that splenectomy is not only a valid alternative to medical treatment but is associated with a significantly higher rate of permanent remission.
