Abstract:

Background: SPH and VGH are the two largest tertiary care centers in BC’s Lower Mainland. Among those served are the low-SES, high-risk population of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (DTES). We aim to characterize the changing epidemiology of infective endocarditis (IE) in this population from 1995 and 2014. To date, our database is among the world’s largest. Methods: 1337 cases were identified using ICD9/10 codes. A retrospective chart review was conducted to collect demographic data including HIV status, IVDU, neurologic complications and mortality. The cohort was dichotomized into IVDU and non-IVDU, and first (1995-2005) and second (2006-2014) decades. Data analysis was performed using univariate chi-square and t-tests. Results: Age at presentation has increased in the past decade (45 vs 55,p<0.001). Rates of IVDU and HIV have decreased significantly (50.5% vs 44.3%,p<0.001; 21.8% vs 7.9%,p<0.001, respectively). Neurologic complications were less frequent in non-IVDUs (16.5% vs 28.9%,p<0.01). Mortality was greater in those with neurologic complications (RR=2.6 95%CI:2.1-3.3,p<0.001). Patients with neurologic complications were more likely to undergo cardiac surgery (RR=1.6 95%CI:1.3-2.0,p<0.001). Conclusions: Our findings highlight the changing epidemiology of IE. Some discrepancies between our data and the existing literature may be accounted for by Vancouver’s unique DTES population. Further work characterizing this is ongoing.

Abstract:

This thesis describes the historical development of intensive care nursing in the adult medical and surgical intensive care unit (ICU) at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) from 1960 until 1985. The ICU was established to group a new, emerging cohort of critically ill patients in one centralized place the hospital. Doctors referred critically ill patients to the ICU, believing the patient would benefit from the continuous nursing care of a bedside nurse in the ICU. The concepts of place and space, specialty nursing education, professionalism, gender, and the expansion of new medical technologies used in critical care, form the central categories for analysis. I examine the broader social, cultural, economic influences, and the hospital context that shaped critical care nursing in Western Canada in the 1960s, using one hospital as a case study. An analysis of the transformation from one-to-one nursing of the most critically ill patients on the general nursing wards, to specialized critical care nursing in the ICU, significantly contributes to the history of nursing. As nurses developed new critical care nursing expertise, their work relationships with other nurses and health professionals changed. As their expertise deepened, nurses integrated new technologies that were introduced into the ICU into their practice. Nurses created critical care nursing theory in a grassroots process using their experiences in critical care, as the foundation. They also formalized this knowledge into a critical care nursing program. This process was not without its tensions, as nursing education was also beginning to make the transition from hospital-based to degree based education. It was a question of where and how the education of critical care nursing would fit in. Oral history accounts from former and practicing nurses and physicians involved in the establishment of the ICU at VGH form the primary source material, augmented by archival hospital and government records, and photographs. The individual experiences of bedside nurses provide a unique lens to understand the evolution of critical care nursing knowledge and practice at VGH in the broader context of critical care nursing history.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to critically examine whether hospitals located in high seismic risk areas such as Vancouver can respond as post-disaster facilities in the aftermath of a major earthquake. Earthquake experience in California during the 1971 San Fernando and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquakes in particular demonstrate that hospitals may be vulnerable and rendered unable to fully respond to their communities needs. In the case of earthquakes, risk management methods are limited to two strategies: pre-event mitigation to reduce the effects of the earthquake on life safety and loss of property; and providing recovery services after the event. In the case of post-disaster hospitals, experience shows that mitigation strategies ensure the functionality of the facility. Therefore, mitigation strategies must not only include structural mitigation to protect the life safety of its occupants, they must also include strategies which ensure the functionality of both the building operations as well as that of therapeutic and diagnostic medical equipment in the aftermath of an earthquake. Vancouver General Hospital is used as a case study to critically examine seismic pre-event mitigation strategies which include: the structures; building operation and medical equipment which are dependent on the supply of potable water and power. Findings of this study indicate that the current supply of potable water is not reliable and that some of VGH's essential building operations and medical equipment will not be functional due to losses in water pressures and disruptions in service. This study recommends that VGH should consider mitigation strategies which make the hospital independent of outside sources of both water and power supply in order to meet its emergency role as a post-disaster facility following an earthquake. The functionality of VGH in the aftermath of a major earthquake will be seriously curtailed unless there is adequate storage of potable water on site to meet the emergency needs of this hospital.
