Hospitals-II

1.2K
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...

Eulerian and Lagrangian Flow Descriptions

2.0K
Fluid flow analysis is critical in many scientific and engineering disciplines, and two principal approaches are used to describe this flow: the Eulerian and Lagrangian methods. These methods offer different perspectives on monitoring and analyzing the motion of fluids, each with distinct advantages depending on the scenario.
The Eulerian method focuses on fixed points in space where fluid properties, such as velocity, pressure, and temperature, are observed as the fluid moves between these...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.4K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Tissues

Cells with similar structure and function are grouped into tissues. A group of tissues with a specialized function is called an organ. There are four main types of tissue in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Research
  • Clinical Nursing
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Deep tissue injury (DTI) prevention, identification, and treatment present ongoing clinical challenges.
  • Understanding factors contributing to DTI development and progression is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize deep tissue injuries (DTIs).
  • To identify patient and care variables impacting DTI development and outcomes at hospital discharge.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, descriptive, single-site cohort study analyzed electronic medical records from October 2010 to September 2012.
  • Data included demographic, intrinsic, extrinsic, and care factors, alongside Braden Scale scores, length of stay (LOS), and DTI outcomes.
  • Statistical analyses (Kruskal-Wallis, chi-squared, Fischer exact tests) were used to examine 30 patient/treatment variables.

Main Results:

  • 179 DTIs occurred in 141 adult patients; common sites were coccyx (26%) and heel (23%), with 22% device-related.
  • Significant factors differentiating DTI outcome groups included mechanical ventilation, feeding tube use, anemia, cerebrovascular accident history, hospital LOS, ICU LOS, vasopressor use, low-air-loss surfaces, and device relation.
  • 69 DTIs were documented in patients who died within one year.

Conclusions:

  • Deep tissue injury risk factors resemble those of other pressure injuries (PUs).
  • Progression to full-thickness injury is not inevitable.
  • Early and frequent assessment, coupled with timely interventions, may prevent DTI progression.
