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:

A method and prototype device to provide artificial speech for intensive care unit (ICU) patients and laryngectomees is presented. The method assists these patients to produce natural sounding speech by "mouthing the words". A review of the current communication techniques for these patients is presented. The limitations of these techniques suggests that there is a need for a device that produces natural sounding speech (pitch variation and glottal sound source that resembles the actual glottal pulse generated by the vibrating vocal folds) and a device that is user friendly. As vocal folds onl

Abstract:

Sleep deprivation is a multifactorial phenomenon, occurring frequently in the intensive care unit (ICU) and linked to adverse patient healthcare outcomes. The key practice question of this project focused on determining if retiming of routine laboratory and imaging testing outside of the designated “quiet time” can improve sleep quality among adult patients in the ICU. The purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing an evidence-based intervention to improve sleep quality in the ICU setting. The theoretical framework was the plan-do-study-act model, which offered a process for imp

Abstract:

Nurses who work in the intensive care settings (or units, ICU) in Canada encounter a growing number of patients living with obesity (PLWO) in clinical practice. Many authors suggest that the number of PLWO who are admitted to the ICU has increased significantly because obesity is on the rise in Canada. PLWO are thought to be at a higher risk for developing chronic illnesses and life-threatening complications that require an admission to the ICU. They are also more likely to develop postoperative complications that require life-sustaining treatments, invasive hemodynamic monitoring and evaluati

Abstract:

Internationally and nationally it is recognised that there is a shortage of Registered Nurses (RNs), which is occurring within a context of increasing costs of health care and limited funding. The specialist area of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is one area that requires numerous resources. The patients admitted to ICU need advanced specialist care involving significant human resources (nursing, medical, allied health) and equipment. One method that is utilised to manage the ICU nurse resource is workload tools. Workload tools guide manager’s decisions related to the allocation of ICU nurses.

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:

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is where the critically-ill are treated. The first 24-hours ('the golden hours') of treatment is crucial to determine patient's recovery and survival, and mechanical ventilation plays a major role as the main life support system in the ICU. The efficiency of mechanical ventilation and its management strategy are assessed by observing the arterial blood gases (ABG), which are sampled every few hours using a catheter inserted into the patient's artery. This procedure is invasive thus can only be performed a handful of times each day. The ICU also has an abundance of

Deconditioning occurs in critically ill patients as early as 4 days after entering the intensive care unit (ICU) resulting in a loss of up to 25% peripheral muscle tone and 18% body weight by the time the patient is discharged. Early mobility (EM) has been shown to reduce complications such as neuromuscular weakness, muscle wasting, pneumonia, and the effects of prolonged periods of time on the ventilator. No formal education on EM had been provided to nurses at the clinical site. The purpose of this project was to develop an educational program on EM to promote early ambulation of critically

Abstract:

Driven by research studies and national targets, sedation practices in Intensive care Units (ICU) are undergoing change. Traditionally, ventilated patients in ICUs were kept deeply sedated and only gradually ‘weaned off’ sedation. However, current evidence supports a more ‘wakeful’ patient with the introduction of ‘sedation holds’ encouraging them to regain consciousness (Kress et al. 2000). There is little research exploring ICU nurses’ assessment and management of sedation.

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:

Bakgrund: Patienter som drabbas av svår sjukdom och vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelning upplever känslor av total förlust av kontroll, förstärkt av oförmågan att kommunicera. Att få kunskap, kontroll och inflytande över sin vård leder till mindre smärtlindring och kortare vårdtid. Patientcentrering i vården brister dock, vilket kan leda till ökade kostnader för såväl samhället som patienter. Syfte: Att identifiera och beskriva hinder mot empowerment till patienter inom intensivvård samt vilka möjligheter som finns för att överbrygga dessa hinder. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie analyserad

Abstract:

Pazienti ricoverati in Terapia Intensiva (TI) possono sviluppare una condizione di profonda debolezza muscolare prevalente della muscolatura prossimale degli arti e dei muscoli respiratori, associata spesso a una disfunzione dei muscoli e dei nervi periferici, definita con il termine Intensive Care Unit-Acquired Weakness (ICU-AW). Individui che sviluppano la ICU-AW residuano importanti menomazioni, perdita delle autonomie nelle ADL e nella deambulazione anche anni dopo la dimissione. Per la prevenzione ed il trattamento della ICU-AW, oltre all'utilizzo di terapie farmacologiche e l’intervento
