Ethical Dilemmas II

Ethical Dilemmas II

Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

A Delphi exercise achieved consensus among ENT faculty on 18 clinical scenarios for reduced follow-up. Disseminating these guidelines led to a 48% decrease in routine patient follow-up appointments.

International Expert Consensus and Recommendations for Neonatal Pneumothorax Ultrasound Diagnosis and Ultrasound-guided Thoracentesis Procedure

Published on: March 12, 2020

Area of Science:

Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
Medical Education
Clinical Practice Guidelines

Background:

Routine follow-up appointments in Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ENT) may not always be necessary.
Establishing consensus on clinical practice can be challenging.
Optimizing follow-up protocols can improve efficiency and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

To achieve faculty consensus on ENT follow-up practices for specific clinical scenarios using a Delphi exercise.
To evaluate the impact of disseminated consensus guidelines on actual clinical follow-up rates.

Main Methods:

A Delphi exercise involving 13 ENT faculty members was conducted to identify scenarios for non-routine follow-up.
Consensus was defined as ≥80% agreement using a Likert scale.
Follow-up rates for 18 identified scenarios were audited before and after guideline dissemination.

Main Results:

The Delphi exercise reached ≥80% agreement among faculty to discontinue routine follow-up for 18 clinical scenarios.
Post-guideline dissemination, follow-up rates for these 18 scenarios decreased by 48%.
The Delphi process proved effective in generating consensus and driving practice change.

Conclusions:

The Delphi process is a viable method for building consensus in ENT clinical practice.
Dissemination of consensus guidelines can significantly alter and improve follow-up practices.
This consensus-building approach has potential applications in other medical specialties.
