Team Venk

Sometimes syncope (fainting) can indicate a more serious issue like an irregular heartbeat. To guide the management of syncope patients in the ER, CANet Investigator Dr. Venk and his team have developed the Canadian Syncope Risk Score Tool (CSRS) using "knowledge that is preexisting to care for the patients in a patient-centred way."

Congratulations to Dr. Venk @TeamVenk for landing a huge and highly competitive grant from @CIHR_IRSC for this multi-centre study! Multi-Centre Cluster-Randomized Implementation of Canadian Syncope Pathway for Emergency Department Syncope Management CIHR Grant: $1,250,776

#CAEP22 #GrizzlyDen 3rd project focuses on Precision Medicine among febrile infants

#CAEP22 #GrizzlyDen 2nd project tries to figure out outcomes after buprenorphine initiation following emergency department (ED) visits for opioid overdose.

#CAEP22 #GrizzlyDen 1st project on how to improve care for children at the ED

#CAEP22 #GrizzlyDen has started!!!

#CAEP22 #GrizzlyDen is back!!! Don't forget to join us at 1630 today at room 301B. Three runners-up from the 2022 #CAEP #EMAF #Grant Competition will be invited to compete for up to $10,000 in grant funding @kerstindewit @EMO_Daddy @CAEP_Docs @CAEPConference

It's well deserved. Happy to have you be part of the team 🥰🥰🥰

Tracked down all of our #amazing resident researchers - congratulations to Drs Omar Anjum, Emma Ferguson, Maria Doubova, Alex Coutin, James Gilbertson and Cameron Leafloor for their @CAEPConference Resident Research Awards #medicalresearch #emergmedottawa #caep2022

Was a pleasure and an honor to work with this team of EM researchers from across the US and Canada. @AlexJankeMD @ADHaimo @arjunvenkatesh @DrMichelleLin @kekocher @TeamVenk NB:🚨This two-variable measure should NOT guide individual patient decisions. 🚨

New from @zimmermann_to @UniBasel: the CSRS showed good performance in identifying low risk syncope patients, superior to the OESIL. However, clinical utility remains uncertain w/out further research: ow.ly/Z3k650ISrRK @JDFDLz #clinicaldecisionmaking

🚨 Check out our latest publication in @AnnalsofIM 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Big shout out to first authors @zimmermann_to & @JDFDLz as well as all #BASEL_IX_Investigators @UniSpitalBasel @UniBasel @DKFBasel

Our newest work based on the BASEL IX - Syncope study now available @AnnalsofIM : International Validation of the Canadian Syncope Risk Score: A Cohort Study annals.org/aim/article/do… Do YOU use a syncope risk score in daily practice? If so, which one and why?

" However, clinician classification of syncope at ED discharge seems to explain much of the performance of the CSRS in this study. The clinical utility of the CSRSremains uncertain [authors recommend further randomized controlled trials]."

"Conclusion: This international external validation of the CSRSshowed good performance in identifying patients at low risk for serious outcomes outside of Canada and superior performance compared with the OESIL score."

Dr. Venk and the Canadian Syncope Risk Score were highlighted in a new publication released yesterday: acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…
