In Hospital 24 Hour Observation of Syncope Patients
Sponsor: Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA)
Summary
Syncope is very common and has a broad differential diagnosis. Guidelines on syncope recommend to apply guideline based syncope algorithm (SA) to identify low- / intermediate risk syncope patients and recommend to discharge these patients. The time window when to discharge these patients is not defined in the guidelines. In current medical practice low- / intermediate risk syncope patients are either immediately discharged or discharged after 24-hour observation with telemetry (TM). There seems to be an equipoise for both treatment strategies in current medical practice for these low risk syncope patients. A randomized controlled trial to compare discharge after 24 hour observation including TM with immediate discharge has never been done on the Cardiac Emergency Room (CER).
