Résumé
Emergency departments (EDs) were on the front line for the diagnostic workup of patients with COVID-19 like symptoms during the first wave. Chest imaging was the key to rapidly identifying COVID-19 before administering RT-PCR which was time-consuming. The objective of our study was to compare the costs and organizational benefits of triage strategies in ED during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
