Abstract:

Introduction - Maximising efficient and effective use of resources without compromising quality of care is essential in the current healthcare climate. Intensive care unit services are one of the most resource intensive and therefore expensive services within a hospital. Because intensive care unit services comprise a significant portion of hospital costs and resources, appropriate utilisation of intensive care units is imperative. The occurrence of delayed discharges and the reason for the delays is important as they impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of intensive care unit services.

Abstract:

Many nurses lack evidence-based knowledge to deliver appropriate oral care, view oral care in the care-dependent patient as a comfort measure, and give it a low clinical priority. An estimated 44%-65% of hospitalized care-dependent patients do not receive adequate oral care, an intervention that can prevent aspiration pneumonia or pneumonitis. The purpose of this project was to develop a policy for use of an oral assessment tool and evidence-based guidelines for oral care in hospitalized care-dependent adults outside of the intensive care unit setting at a regional health system in the Southea

Abstract:

Background: Patients treated in an intensive care unit (ICU) are seriously ill, have a high co‐morbidity, morbidity and mortality. ICUs are resource – demanding as they consume significant hospital resources for a minority of patients. The development of new medical procedures for critical care patients has over the years led to survival of larger numbers with more complex illnesses and extensive injuries. Improved survival rates lead to needs for outcome measures other than survival. The present study examines health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and factors assumed to be important for the

Abstract:

Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) is used in healthcare organizations to improve workflow processes and transcription, as well as to prevent prescribing errors. Previous research has indicated challenges associated with CPOE for end-users that predispose patients to unsafe practices. Unsafe CPOE practices can be detrimental within the intensive care unit (ICU) setting due to the complexity of nursing care. Consequently, end-user satisfaction and understanding of CPOE and electronic health record (EHR) functionality are vital to avoid error omissions. CPOE initiatives should be refined

Abstract:

Patients who are critically ill get often admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). The majority of these patients require support with their breathing and are thus connected to a mechanical ventilator. One aspect to consider in the mechanically ventilated patient is endotracheal tube cuff pressure (ETT) management. The management of ETT cuff pressure entails that nurses working in ICUs have the responsibility of ensuring that ETT cuff pressure is kept within normal range of 20-30 cmH20 for the safety of the patients in order to avoid complication of over and under inflation.

Abstract:

Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) admission is often life threatening, and may cause severe anxiety within the family system. Anxiety can impair decision-making ability. A majority of ICU patients cannot direct their own treatment; therefore, family members are often required to make major decisions under stressful conditions. Patient and family-centered care (PCFF) has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve decision-making, and improve outcomes for patients and their families. However, no published study has examined outcomes of a comprehensive PFCC program in the ICU. Purpose: The stu

Abstract:

Apesar da utilização da ventilação mecânica protetora como estratégia para o tratamento da síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo, ao menos um quarto dos pacientes com essa síndrome ainda apresentam redução na função pulmonar após 6 meses de seguimento. Não se sabe se esta redução está relacionada com a gravidade da síndrome ou associada com a forma de ventilar o paciente. Nosso objetivo neste trabalho foi avaliar a associação entre alterações funcionais e estruturais do pulmão com parâmetros de gravidade clínica e de ventilação mecânica. Foi realizada uma análise secundária dos dados obti

Abstract:

O objetivo da Estratégia de Recrutamento Máximo (ERM) guiada pela TC de tórax é minimizar a quantidade de colapso alveolar e os mecanismos de lesão induzida pela ventilação mecânica (VILI). Os objetivos deste trabalho são comparar por meio da análise quantitativa das imagens obtidas pela TC durante ERM, em pacientes com SDRA, os seguintes parâmetros: colapso, hiperdistensão Tidal Recruitment (TR), Tidal Stretch (TS) e a distribuição de ar nos pulmões Métodos - Doze pacientes foram transportados para a sala de TC e seqüências de imagens foram obtidas durante a pausa expiratória e inspiratória a

Abstract:

The development of adult intensive care in England and Wales has been researched using primary and secondary literary sources and the oral history of participants in intensive care in England and Wales from soon after its inception until the present (2011). The development of theory has been inductive. In 1952 Bjørn Ibsen, a Danish anaesthetist, treated patients with bulbo-spinal poliomyelitis (polio) with a regime based on intubation of the trachea (windpipe) and intermittent positive-pressure ventilation (IPPV) of the lungs. This resulted in a reduction of mortality of about fifty percent in

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Esta tese tem como objetivo definir referenciais bíblico-teológicos, visando ampliar as competências práticas do cuidado pastoral num Centro de Tratamento Intensivo adulto, mais precisamente, numa unidade de internação voltada a pacientes em estado grave de saúde. A fragilidade humana, neste contexto, representa um grande desafio para a teologia e, de forma especial, para a teologia pastoral. Dentre estes referenciais teológicos são enfatizadas tanto a dimensão da solidariedade divina em meio ao sofrimento humano quanto a da graça

Abstract:

O banho do paciente em estado crítico constitui uma atividade que exige ordenamento das diversas etapas, dadas as características e peculiaridades. O aparato tecnológico peculiar das unidades de alta complexidade permite a monitoração, mas dificulta o acesso e mobilização do paciente. As repercussões oxi-hemodinâmicas do banho no paciente adulto internado em estado crítico no contexto relativo à etiologia/dano foram investigadas por meio dessa revisão sistemática de literatura, que objetivou identificar a existência de evidências científicas sobre as referidas repercussões naquela população e;
