Hospitals-II

1.1K
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.

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...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

924
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric critical care medicine
  • Patient safety research
  • Hospital quality improvement

Background:

  • Children's hospitals are transitioning to models with full-time, in-house intensivist supervision.
  • Evaluating the impact of this coverage model change on patient safety is crucial.
  • Pediatric code events require timely and expert intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the influence of in-house attending intensivist coverage on the occurrence and outcomes of pediatric code events.
  • To compare patient safety metrics before and after the implementation of 24/7 intensivist supervision.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of all pediatric code events over two distinct periods: pre- and post-implementation of in-house intensivist coverage.
  • Comparison of code event prevalence, interventions, and outcomes.
  • Data collected from a 187-bed children's hospital.

Main Results:

  • Survival following code events significantly improved with in-house intensivist coverage (OR, 4.3; P = 0.003).
  • While overall code rates did not change significantly, ward codes increased (0.71 vs 0.2 codes/1,000 patient-days; P = 0.013).
  • Intensivist presence during codes increased dramatically (OR, 28; P = 0.001), with lower acuity on the ward.

Conclusions:

  • In-house intensivist supervision is associated with improved survival rates for hospitalized children experiencing code events.
  • Continuous availability of intensivists may enhance pediatric patient safety and outcomes.
  • The findings support the implementation of 24/7 in-house intensivist coverage in pediatric critical care settings.
