Abstract:

BackgroundWhen intubating newborns, clinicians aim to position the endotracheal tube (ETT) tip in the midtrachea. The depth to which ETTs should be inserted is often estimated using the infant’s weight. ETTs are frequently incorrectly positioned in newborns, most often inserted too far. Using the vocal cord guide (a mark at the distal end of the ETT) to guide insertion depth has been recommended.ObjectiveTo determine whether estimating ETT insertion depth using the vocal cord guide rather than weight results in more correctly positioned ETT tips.DesignSingle-centre randomised controlled trial.

Abstract:

<strong>Plain English summary</strong>The ROLO pregnancy study took place in the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin Ireland. It started in 2007 and ended in 2011. The researchers recorded what women were eating. They also measured the weight of the baby at birth. Since then, ROLO mothers and their children were invited to come back to the study. Now the children of the study are 9–11 years of age.The researchers invited members of the ROLO study to speak with them. They wanted to know what research was important to them. They set up a group called the ROLO Family Advisory Committee in 2017.

Abstract:

IntroductionMany preterm infants develop respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), a condition characterised by a relative lack of surfactant. Endotracheal surfactant therapy revolutionised the care of preterm infants in the 1990s. However, supporting newborns with RDS with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and reserving endotracheal surfactant for those who develop respiratory failure despite CPAP yield better results than intubating all infants for surfactant. Half of preterm infants born before 29 weeks gestation initially managed with CPAP are intubated for surfactant. Intubation is di

Breast-feeding is the superior infant feeding method from birth, with research consistently demonstrating its numerous short- and long-term health benefits for both mother and infant. As a global recommendation the WHO advises that mothers should exclusively breast-feed for the first 6-months of life, thus delaying the introduction of solids during this time. Historically, Irish breast-feeding initiation rates have remained strikingly low in comparison with international data and there has been little improvement in breast-feeding duration rates.

Background: OPAT service has been in place in Tallaght University Hospital (TUH), Dublin; Republic of Ireland since 2013 and patients have been discharged under the governance of their primary teams since that time. The newly established Infectious Diseases (ID) department commenced the governance of OPAT Service at TUH on Sept 9th, 2022. A six-month evaluation of the new service was undertaken using Irish National guidelines1 as the standard and also to estimate the hospital bed days saved and financial savings via OPAT Service under the new governance.

Abstract:

IntroductionSecure forensic hospital settings provide care and treatment to mentally disordered offenders with a history of serious violence. Most modern forensic hospitals operate a system of stratified therapeutic security, where patients are placed on the internal care pathway according to individual risks and needs. Unfortunately, at times patients move ‘backwards’ from a unit of lower to a unit with higher therapeutic security. This is a challenge to manage from an individual patient and service perspective.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to analyse backwards moves along the care-path

Introduction Social exclusion in Ireland is strongly associated with injecting drug use, particularly injection of opiates into the groin: a strong risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) (O'Reilly et al, 2015). Ní Cheallaigh et al (2017) reported a high burden of disease in socially excluded individuals in Ireland that can be effectively addressed by dedicated service planning and care provision. VTE in socially excluded persons has been identified by our group as a key knowledge gap. We have generated preliminary data demonstrating that socially excluded people account for a significant

IntroductionThere is accumulating evidence implicating the role of leadership in system failures that have resulted in a range of errors in healthcare, from misdiagnoses to failures to recognise and respond to patient deterioration. This has led to concerns about traditional hierarchical leadership structures and created an interest in the development of collective ways of working that distribute leadership roles and responsibilities across team members. Such collective leadership approaches have been associated with improved team performance and staff engagement. This research seeks to improv

Abstract Introduction Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity worldwide. The risk of early death in the setting of untreated PE may be as high as 30%. However, diagnostic and therapeutic advances in recent years have led to a progressive decline in global PE-related mortality and recent data describing rates of in-hospital death following PE suggest a mortality rate of approximately 5-15%. Moreover, strategies directed at stratification of PE severity have been shown to safely identify a sub-group of low-risk patients (up to 30-50% of all patients) for whom outpa

IntroductionLegg-Calve-Perthes (Perthes Disease) was first recognised by three physicians, Arthur Legg (1874–1939), Jacqui Calve (1875–1954) and George Perthes (1869 – 1927) in 1910. Perthes disease is a rare childhood condition that affects the hip. It occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted. Without this blood supply, the bone cells die and avascular necrosis can occur. The Herring classification is used to diagnose the stages of Perthes Disease. It is an important prognostic factor. There are three classifications, Herring A, B and C. Herring A has no involvement of th

Introduction: In Ireland an estimated 380,000 people are living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) but only 110,000 are diagnosed[1]. Extensive under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis leads to patients receiving no treatment or incorrect treatment. Spirometry is vital to establish a diagnosis of COPD [2]. Appropriate and earlier diagnosis of COPD can have a very significant public health impact. Aim: The aim of the study is to demonstrate that Respiratory Integrated Care Nurse Led Clinics enable earlier access to spirometry and earlier diagnosis via RIC consultant led multidisciplinary
