Abstract
Establishing the efficacy of emergency care for patients--what should or should not be done in the emergency department--requires patients to come to an ED under close-to-ideal situations, and on leaving the ED to be treated under ideal circumstances. Randomized, controlled clinical trials are needed to answer the efficacy question.
