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.

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...

Biological Effects of Radiation

18.0K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

3.9K
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

3.4K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Radiation: Applications

1.8K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Summary

Reducing radiation dose in coronary angiograms is crucial, especially in teaching hospitals. This study found that optimizing protocol settings can significantly lower radiation exposure by up to 63% without affecting patient care or training outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Radiological interventions are vital in cardiology.
  • Ionizing radiation in angiograms poses risks to patients and staff.
  • Dose optimization is critical in teaching hospitals due to longer procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of different protocol settings on radiation dose in routine coronary angiograms.
  • To evaluate dose reduction strategies in a large tertiary center.
  • To assess the effectiveness of optimization techniques without compromising clinical or teaching outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Measured radiation dose before and after implementing dose optimization techniques.
  • Adjusted protocol settings including dose per pulse, fluoroscopic pulse rates, and cine acquisition frame rates.
  • Compared radiation levels during routine coronary angiograms.

Main Results:

  • Achieved up to a 63% reduction in radiation dose.
  • Identified 10 frames per second (fps)/low and 5 pulses per second (pps)/low settings for maximum dose optimization.
  • Demonstrated no adverse impact on clinical or teaching outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Protocol optimization significantly reduces radiation dose in coronary angiograms.
  • Specific settings (10 fps/low, 5 pps/low) are effective for dose reduction.
  • Incremental adjustments are necessary to manage patient complexities during procedures.
