This study will be conducted in the Regional Emergency Room (ER) of the Dijon-Bourgogne University Hospital in Dijon, France. It is an interventional study that will have an impact on medical contact time.
Patients will be identified among adult patients presenting to the ER of the Dijon University Hospital. Each patient will be followed-up for 30 days from the time of arrival at the ER (if the inclusion criteria for the study are met).
A total of 337 patients will participate in this study and will be randomly allocated to 3 groups:
This study includes 2 visits:
- D0 (adult ER visit): The patient's background, clinical and biological data will be collected. The patient will then be randomized into one of three groups. Depending on the group assigned, the triage nurse may perform QuickSOFA and lactate assessments.
- Follow-up at D30: collection of follow-up information up to 30 days after inclusion in the emergency department: replacement therapy (mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation,…), dates of discharge from critical care and hospital, vital status and in case of death the date of its occurrence.
