Abstract:

Background: Little is known about the use of pain management evidence in Jordanian Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). Purpose: To assess the existence, content, and the factors influencing the use of pain management evidence in Jordanian PICUs. Methods: Three studies were guided by the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARiHS) framework. 1. A scoping review of the literature to identify pain management interventions in the PICU; 2. A cross-sectional and multisite survey to determine the current pain management practices, and the availability and content of pr

Abstract:

Parents’ presence and participation in their child’s care in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is now commonplace. Despite parents expressing a deep need to be with their child particularly during periods of crisis, it is precisely at these times that they are often prevented from staying. The growing debate regarding family presence during a cardiopulmonary (CPR) resuscitation attempt continues to be controversial and conflicting. Current knowledge is mostly derived from quantitative studies conducted in the adult intensive care or emergency environments. The experiences of parents of

Abstract:

A child's admission to a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is stressful for the family. Parental presence and involvement with their child in hospital have been recognised as important in reducing their stress. Several studies have identified parental needs in the PICU. Nurses have reported that they felt inadequately prepared to meet those needs. Although principles to guide nursing strategies have been identified, contextual behaviours of PICU nurses to reduce parental stress have not A qualitative study, using an ethnographic approach, was designed to describe contextual behaviours of e

Abstract:

Abstract Guidelines and instructions derived from adult randomized controlled trials are generally followed in pediatric ventilation, as there have been no large trials of this kind in children. Current treatment strategies aim at preventing ventilator-induced lung injury by avoiding too large tidal volumes, supporting patient's spontaneous breathing and preventing lung collapse with positive end-expiratory airway pressure. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a novel ventilation mode that provides respiratory support proportional to the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi). Th

A phenomenological method was used in this study in order to obtain rich descriptions of nurses' experience of grief within their workplace.

Abstract:

A pediatric intensivist in the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic's (UIHC) Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) was concerned about antimicrobial use in the unit. However, no one had quantified antimicrobial use in the UIHC's PICU or described the patterns of antimicrobial use in this unit. To address the intensivist's concern, the principal investigator (PI) conducted a retrospective study to determine the percentage of patients who received antimicrobial treatments, to determine the indications for antimicrobial use, and to identify antimicrobial agents used most frequently in the unit.

Abstract:

Maintaining a high quality of care in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a constant challenge. Continual 24/7 staffing, ongoing staff turnover, and the constant introduction of new equipment and procedures in a highly technologically-dependent unit requires continuous learning to deliver and improve the quality of children’s care. While all staff consider continuous learning important to maintaining and improving care, learning as quality improvement is made most explicit when new nursing staff are hired and incorporated into the PICU.

Abstract:

Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are critically ill and often at extremely high risk of death. These patients receive aggressive interventions to prolong their lives. Despite these measures, many patients still succumb to their illness. Although ICU physicians are good at predicting which patients have a high risk of mortality, they are still offering interventions that do not prolong life, but potentially cause more suffering at the end of life. This is because there is a lack of high quality and early communication to discuss prognosis and establish patients' goals of care.

Abstract:

The epidemiology of children a'dmitted to paediatric intensive care units (I?tcUs) in England and Wales is described, focussing on the effect of deprivation and ethnicity on admission prevalence and mortality. The effects on mortality of size of the admitting unit, admission time, day of the week and season on mortality are investigated. The performance of the mortality risk-adjustment model is discussed in relation to other casemix factors including diagnosis, genetic ancestry and institutional characteristics. An analysis of the epidemiology of children admitted to intensive care with severe

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to seek a deep understanding of the lived experience of intensive care nurses caring for patients with delirium. Delirium affects a large proportion of adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Delirium has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality, longer intensive care and hospital length of stay, long-term cognitive impairments, short-term and long-term psychological distress, and increased hospital and health system costs. Critical care nurses play central roles in preventing, identifying, and treating ICU patients with delirium. Semi-str

Abstract:

The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) has been described as a stressful place for parents of critically ill children. Research to date has examined parents’ needs and stressors with a child in PICU. There is a paucity of research examining the experience for parents of a child who is transferred from the PICU to the hospital ward. Open-ended interviews were conducted with 10 parents within 24-48 hours after transfer from a PICU to a hospital ward at a children’s hospital in Canada to understand this experience. Parents revealed that the experience involved a search for comfort through trans

Abstract:

Bakgrund: När sjukvården till stor del förlitar sig på medicinsk teknik och läkemedelsbehandling är det lätt att omvårdnadsåtgärder som syftar till att förebygga och lindra lidande inte ges tillräckligt utrymme. Intensivvårdsdelirium är ett förhållandevis outforskat område inom barnintensivvården. Idag finns inga riskskattningsinstrument översatta till svenska. Syfte: Syftet var att studera barns beteenden när de vårdades på en barnintensivvårdsavdelning. Dessutom undersöktes om dessa beteenden kunde användas för att besvara frågor från ett engelskspråkigt riskskattningsinstrument för deliri

Abstract:

The increased emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics means that primary prevention of all hospital-acquired infections is essential, but ensuring that infection control practice is evidence-based requires reliable measurement of endemic hospital-acquired infections. The research sought to develop a comprehensive method for combining surveillance of infection with improved infection control by incorporating a problem solving approach within nursing process documentation. Prior to the research there was little evidence of nursing documentation of infection risk assessment, evaluation o
