Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

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...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Patient Safety Research
  • Surgical Error Prevention

Background:

  • Wrong-site surgery is a rare but severe clinical error requiring effective interventions.
  • Contributing risk factors for wrong-site surgery are complex and varied.
  • Organizational and professional strategies may play a role in minimizing these errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of organizational and professional interventions in reducing wrong-site surgery.
  • The evaluation included wrong-site, wrong-side, wrong-procedure, and wrong-patient errors.
  • Non-surgical invasive and emergency procedures were also considered.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases and grey literature.
  • Included study designs were randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, controlled before-after studies, and interrupted time-series studies.
  • Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers.

Main Results:

  • One interrupted time-series study on wrong-site tooth extractions was included.
  • A targeted educational intervention involving case review, guidelines, and feedback significantly reduced annual mishaps.
  • Statistical analysis showed a significant decrease in the level and slope of wrong-site tooth extractions.

Conclusions:

  • The reviewed educational intervention in a dental outpatient setting demonstrated a reduction in wrong-site tooth extractions.
  • The intervention targeted junior dental staff with case studies, guidelines, and instructor feedback.
  • Caution is advised when generalizing these findings to broader surgical populations due to the specific context.
