Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care01:27

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

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...
Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care01:28

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Rehabilitation
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Immobility in intensive care units (ICUs) leads to physical deconditioning, prolonged ICU and hospital stays, and post-discharge complications.
  • Despite evidence supporting early mobility, ICUs often lack the processes and resources for effective integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a progressive mobility initiative to address cultural, process, and resource barriers to early mobility in ICUs.
  • To integrate evidence-based mobility practices into daily ICU care.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-center initiative involving 13 ICUs across eight US hospitals.
  • Implementation of a physiologically grounded, evidence-based mobility continuum with targeted education and stakeholder engagement.
  • Utilized coaching calls and change interventions to modify staff behavior, collecting qualitative and quantitative data.

Main Results:

  • Qualitative data indicated improved team culture and focus on mobility processes through the collaborative approach.
  • A reduction in ventilator days (3.0 pre vs. 2.1 post) approached statistical significance (p=0.06).
  • No significant differences were found in other measured mobility intervention outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Multi-center ICU collaborations can enhance team culture, communication, and resources to improve the adoption of early mobility.
  • Improvements in these areas are crucial for integrating early mobility into routine ICU patient care.
