Welcome to the new site for Evangel Hospital. The site is a "beta" version, meaning that it's still in the testing phase and has some problems. Popup photos do not work right, there seems to be a problem with column width, and so on.

Check the new Content View (tab on top menu). Is this a better way to see what's available?

"Results Primary outcome data were available for 311 (98.4%) people, 77% of whom were thought to have a psychotic illness. Patients allocated haloperidol plus promethazine were more likely to be tranquil or asleep by 20 minutes than those who received intramuscular haloperidol alone (relative risk 1.30, 95% confidence interval 1.10 to 1.55; number needed to treat 6, 95% confidence interval 4 to 16; P=0.002). No differences were found after 20 minutes. However, 10 cases of acute dystonia occurred, all in the haloperidol alone group. "

This might be good for journal club. Simple, with a practical application. Could also be duplicated fairly easily in an African hospital.
