BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Patient and Family Centered I-PASS (PFC I-PASS) emphasizes family and nurse engagement, health literacy, and structured communication on family-centered rounds organized around the I-PASS framework (Illness severity-Patient summary-Action items-Situational awareness-Synthesis by receiver). We assessed adherence, safety, and experience after implementing PFC I-PASS using a novel "Mentor-Trio" implementation approach with multidisciplinary parent-nurse-physician teams coaching sites...

BACKGROUND: Nurses play an integral role in the care of children hospitalised with a serious illness. Although information about diagnostics, treatments, and prognosis are generally conveyed to parents and caregivers of seriously ill children by physicians, nurses spend a significant amount of time at the child's bedside and have an acknowledged role in helping patients and families understand the information that they have been given by a doctor. Hence, the ethical role of the nurse in truth disclosure to children is worth exploring...

BACKGROUND: Purposeless physiological monitoring at the end-of-life is not recommended. However, studies on how families feel regarding the death of patients with terminal cancer without continuous electrocardiographic monitoring (CEM) are lacking. OBJECTIVES: To explore the impact on the quality of care and the feelings and psychological distress experienced by families when CEM is not used during the 24 hours preceding a patient's death. METHODS: In this multicenter cross-sectional, self-report questionnaires were distributed to 1087 bereaved families at Japanese specialized palliative care units in 2018...

Low-income women and, disproportionately low-income women of color seeking reproductive and pregnancy care are increasingly subject to what this article terms carceral care - care compromised by its' proximity to punishment systems. This article identifies the legal and health care practice mechanisms leading to carceral care and proposes solutions designed to stop criminalization at the bedside.

The aim of this study was to represent the incidence of delirium in critically ill children in China, its associated factors, and the influence of delirium on in-hospital outcomes. METHODS: This observational prospective cohort study was set up in a large academic medical center with a 57-bed PICU in southwestern China...

INTRODUCTION: Fulminant myocarditis is a devastating disease with significant mortality and complications. The care of patients with fulminant myocarditis is rarely reported. CLINICAL FINDINGS: A 17-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with dizziness, amaurosis fugax, and chest tightness. Initial assessment revealed elevated levels of troponin T (4.753 ng/mL), troponin I (49.540 ng/mL), creatine kinase (1306 U/L), creatine kinase-MB isoenzymes (75...

This article reports a prospective, comparative study using a semistructured interview technique, to compare the perceptions of nursing professionals and physicians about the bedside handover practice, in intensive care units (ICUs). Clinical handovers are practiced every day, in many ways, in all institutional health care settings. Despite increasing demand for structured processes to guide clinical handovers, the perception may differ between nurses and physicians, particularly in the ICU. The results of the current study showed that the quality of the information provided during handovers was perceived by both the nurses and physicians as satisfactory and relevant to the patient's care...

BACKGROUND: Nurses at the frontline faced high risks of the COVID-19 infection, undertook heavy workloads of patient care, and experienced tremendous stress that often led to compassion fatigue. AIM: This study was to explore the role of positive psychosocial resources (i.e., perceived social support and emotional regulation efficacy) in the relationship between role stress and compassion fatigue. METHODS: A cross-sectional design was conducted in Hubei Province, China between May and September 2021...

BACKGROUND: Stress from preterm infant admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is associated with infant and maternal physiologic changes, including endocrine and epigenetic alterations. Little is known about the mechanisms connecting NICU stress to biologic changes, and whether preterm infant and maternal stress are reciprocal. As a preliminary step, feasibility and acceptability of measuring indicators of stress are required. PURPOSE: This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of research examining perceptions and biologic markers of stress in premature infant-maternal dyads during and after NICU hospitalization...

BACKGROUND: The number of healthcare professionals leaving clinical practice and transitioning to alternative careers in health professions education is increasing. Among these non-practicing healthcare professionals, concerns have been reported regarding tensions in relation to identity, role, and credibility in their new field. There are suggestions that this is a particularly pressing issue for minoritised professionals who make this transition. Support is critical to attract and retain diverse talent within health professions education teaching and research...

Placement of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) is a frequent occurrence. Yet, PIVCs consistently require multiple attempts for successful cannulation, leading to an increased use of resources and risk of complications. Even though hospitals have established vascular access teams to improve outcomes and increase longevity of PIVCs, not every facility has one, and some struggle to meet demand. In these cases, PIVC placement depends on the confidence and skills of bedside nurses. Difficult access risk identification tools, as well as vein visualization technologies, like near infrared (nIR), have been developed to assist nurses with cannulation...

BACKGROUND: Delirium, an acute confusional state highlighted by inattention, has been reported to occur in 10 to 50% of COVID-19 patients. People hospitalized with COVID-19 have been noted to present with or develop delirium and neurocognitive disorders. Caring for patients with delirium is associated with more burden for nurses, clinicians, and caregivers. Using information in Electronic Health Record (EHR) data to recognize delirium and possibly COVID-19 could lead to earlier treatment of the underlying viral infection and improve outcomes in clinical and healthcare systems cost per patient...

The study site was a metropolitan tertiary hospital inpatient paediatric unit in Sydney, Australia. Semi-structured interview and non-participant observation techniques were used for data collection...

BACKGROUND: Post-extubation negative pressure pulmonary oedema is a rare, potentially life-threatening complication associated with general anaesthesia. Chest radiography is used as a diagnostic tool, but it implies a non-negligible radiation exposure, a very important consideration, especially for the paediatric population. However, lung ultrasound can overcome this problem and can be used to detect postoperative pulmonary complications. CASE REPORT: A 16-year-old male was scheduled for tympanoplasty...

Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) is the leading cause of transfusion-related deaths in the United States, accounting for more than 30% of fatalities reported to the Food and Drug Administration between 2016 and 2020. However, TACO is widely considered to be an underdiagnosed and underreported complication of blood transfusions, and its exact incidence is unknown. One of the reasons for this is a lack of recognition of TACO and its signs and symptoms, especially as the definition of TACO has been updated twice since 2018 without full dissemination to nurses, who are responsible for bedside care of patients during and following blood transfusions...
