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...

Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

1.2K
IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

2.0K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.4K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

2.5K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Summary

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) use in neurology and NICU often extends beyond approved indications, incurring higher costs for off-label treatments. Further research is needed to confirm efficacy and safety for these expanded uses.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pharmacology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a key immunomodulating agent with diverse therapeutic actions.
  • Understanding the specific indications and associated costs of IVIG is crucial for healthcare resource management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the current indications for IVIG use in a clinical setting.
  • To analyze the cost-effectiveness of IVIG based on established evidence and off-label applications.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 119 patients receiving IVIG between September 2017 and June 2018.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, disease, IVIG indication, dosage, and treatment regimens.
  • Lexicomp® was used as the reference for validating IVIG indications and dosages.

Main Results:

  • Neurology and neonatal intensive care units were the primary prescribers of IVIG.
  • Inflammatory neurological disorders were the most common reason for IVIG therapy.
  • IVIG was administered for on-label (22 cases), off-label (43 cases), and other indications (54 cases), with off-label use being more expensive.

Conclusions:

  • A significant portion of IVIG use occurred outside of on-label indications.
  • While some studies support IVIG for certain off-label conditions, further clinical trials are necessary to establish definitive efficacy and safety profiles.
