Hospitals-I01:28

Hospitals-I

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...
Hospitals-II00:59

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Introduction Cardiac Emergencies01:30

Introduction Cardiac Emergencies

Cardiac emergencies are critical situations involving the heart that require immediate medical intervention to prevent severe complications or death. These emergencies often arise from underlying heart conditions that impair the heart's ability to function correctly.Types of Cardiac EmergenciesThe most common types of cardiac emergencies include Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac arrest, and heart failure.Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)...
Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care01:28

Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

Summary

Code stroke evaluations are less effective for hospitalized patients compared to emergency department patients. A standardized assessment for altered mental status in hospitalized patients could improve stroke care efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Rapid-response stroke teams (code stroke) are crucial for emergency department (ED) patients.
  • The utility of code stroke systems for patients already hospitalized for other conditions is not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the diagnostic yield of code stroke evaluations between hospitalized and ED patients.
  • To identify areas for quality improvement in in-hospital code stroke activations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of diagnoses and management for in-hospital and ED code stroke activations over one year.
  • Comparison of patient characteristics, stroke/transient ischemic attack diagnoses, and thrombolytic treatment rates.

Main Results:

  • Hospitalized patients were less likely to have a stroke/transient ischemic attack (26.8% vs. 51.4%) and receive thrombolytics (OR 0.27).
  • Non-neurologic conditions accounted for 63.4% of in-hospital strokes versus 31.3% of ED code strokes.
  • "Altered mental status" was a key indicator for stroke mimics in hospitalized patients (OR 63.52).

Conclusions:

  • Code stroke evaluations yield fewer strokes in hospitalized patients compared to ED patients.
  • A standardized protocol for assessing "altered mental status" in hospitalized patients may enhance care efficacy and reduce unnecessary activations.
