BACKGROUND: Health care trends including advanced technology, higher patient acuity, and shorter employment orientation have impacted the environment in which new-graduate nurses are entering the workforce. These issues are contributing to new nurses leaving the workforce prematurely. Theoretical foundations for nursing education need to be updated to better prepare graduates for entry into this burdened environment. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore, from the student perspective, the process of educational development into professional licensure-ready graduates...

REVIEW
Clifford L Freeman, Christopher S Evans, Tyler W Barrett
Managing sedation in the ventilated emergency department (ED) patient is increasingly important as critical care unit admissions from EDs increase and hospital crowding results in intubated patients boarding for longer periods. The objectives of this review are 3-fold; (1) describe the historical perspective of how sedation of the ventilated patient has changed, (2) summarize the most commonly used sedation and analgesic agents, and (3) provide a practical approach to sedation and analgesia in mechanically ventilated ED patients...

TOPIC: This article presents an overview of the burden of peripheral intravenous catheter infections and current evidence-based recommendations for prevention. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Peripheral intravenous catheters are ubiquitous in most health care settings, fostering an acceptance of the peripheral intravenous catheter as benign and inevitable. This device, however, is far from benign, with reported failure rates as high as 90% from complications such as infection and phlebitis...

BACKGROUND: In 2009, the window from symptom onset to administration of tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke was extended from 3 to 4.5 hours. Yet no systematic review has addressed prehospital delay by sex for stroke symptoms since this change. PURPOSE: We aimed to (1) compare prehospital delay times-the time from symptom onset to hospital arrival-between women and men with acute stroke or transient ischemic attack and (2) summarize factors influencing prehospital delay by sex...

Background: Although oxygen is one of the oldest drugs available, it is still one of the most inappropriately administered drugs leading to over utilization of this very expensive resource. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was done in a large emergency department (ED) in India. The pattern of oxygen usage was studied before and after the strict implementation of an oxygen treatment algorithm. The algorithm was taught to all doctors and nurses and its implementation was monitored regularly...

INTRODUCTION: Urolithiasis is one of the common disorder with which about 1/5th is found in the ureter, of which 2/3rd is seen in the lower ureter. Medical expulsive therapy is one of the routine modalities of treatment which uses various drugs acting on the ureter smooth muscle by different mechanism. We aim to compare the efficacy of combination vs. single drug. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was done in 176 consecutive patients over a period of six months (March 2019 to August 2019) in Department of Urology and Kidney Transplant Surgery, Tribhuvan University Teaching...

REVIEW
Bruno Levy, Thomas Klein, Antoine Kimmoun
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Data and interventional trials on vasopressor use during cardiogenic shock are scarce. Their use is limited by their side-effects and the lack of solid evidence regarding their effectiveness in improving outcomes. In the present article, we review the current use of vasopressor therapy during cardiogenic shock. RECENT FINDINGS: Two recent Cochrane analyses concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove that any one vasopressor was superior to others in terms of mortality...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cardiogenic shock is a multifactorial and diverse entity in which inotropes are the cornerstone therapy. Although published clinical trials have focused on pharmacologic treatment of cardiogenic shock, there is lack of an established and widely accepted decision-making algorithm on the use of inotropic agents in cardiogenic shock. RECENT FINDINGS: The current review incorporates cardiogenic shock pathophysiology, inotropes and vasopressors pharmacodynamics...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Temporary circulatory support (TCS) devices are increasingly used as a salvage therapy for patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. The exact place of the different TCS devices in the management of cardiogenic shock patients remains unclear and intensely debated. This article provides an overview on new cardiogenic shock classification, currently available devices, place of TCS in the management of cardiogenic shock patients, and discusses the results of recent case series and trials in this setting...

REVIEW
Johan Lassus
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Organ dysfunction is a key feature of cardiogenic shock. Active revascularization and contemporary management in intensive care has improved prognosis in cardiogenic shock, but mortality is still unacceptably high. This review will discuss the prevalence, manifestation, management and clinical impact of kidney and liver dysfunction in cardiogenic shock. RECENT FINDINGS: Patients with cardiogenic shock more frequently have several comorbidities that make them at risk of developing multiorgan failure, including renal and liver dysfunction...

Educators are challenged to prepare nurses to care for low-frequency, high-stakes problems such as trauma. Computer-based tutors provide a cost-effective teaching strategy without risking patient safety. Evidence for the efficacy of this type of instruction is limited; thus, we tested the learning outcomes of a tutor on trauma care knowledge with senior nursing students. Participants were randomly assigned to either the tutor or a control condition (textbook learning). Instructional design elements incorporated into the tutor included use of multimedia content, emphasis of key points, frequent quizzing with instant feedback, and unfolding case studies to summarize key concepts...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Robert Willmore
Cardiac arrest with a degree of concurrent hypothermia is not a rare presentation. This presentation, often in remote areas, poses a challenge for the prehospital physician because the cause of the arrest will significantly alter decision making and prognostication. Survival from cardiac arrest secondary to accidental hypothermia is significantly greater than that of normothermic arrests when appropriate triage and management decisions are made. The complexity of this decision benefits from a specific algorithm to follow in the event of such a casualty presenting...

Background: There are few reports of chemical proctocolitis induced by transanal administration of alcohol. Case report: The patient was a 21-year-old male with no medical history. He transanally pumped 1.8 L of 35% alcohol, experienced melena and disturbance of consciousness, and was transported by ambulance to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography and endoscopy findings indicated ischemic colitis. He was administered conservative treatment and discharged after 9 days of hospital stay. Conclusion: Reports on alcohol-induced chemical proctocolitis are rare...

REVIEW

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a common, heterogenous, and life-threatening complication of alcohol use disorder (AUD). AUD is a leading cause of worldwide mortality, and many patients with AUD will develop AWS during their ED course. This review summarizes the epidemiology, pathology, and management of AWS and AUD in the emergency setting. The time course of AWS and its impact on ED treatment is emphasized. Once AWS is diagnosed, symptom-triggered benzodiazepine administration remains the most commonly provided treatment but may not be appropriate for patients with significant medical or psychiatric comorbidity or pending discharge...

T M Cook
Personal protective equipment has become an important and emotive subject during the current coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic. Coronavirus disease 2019 is predominantly caused by contact or droplet transmission attributed to relatively large respiratory particles which are subject to gravitational forces and travel only approximately 1 metre from the patient. Airborne transmission may occur if patient respiratory activity or medical procedures generate respiratory aerosols. These aerosols contain particles that may travel much longer distances and remain airborne longer, but their infective potential is uncertain...
