International Expert Consensus and Recommendations for Neonatal Pneumothorax Ultrasound Diagnosis and Ultrasound-guided Thoracentesis Procedure05:50

International Expert Consensus and Recommendations for Neonatal Pneumothorax Ultrasound Diagnosis and Ultrasound-guided Thoracentesis Procedure

14.6K
Pneumothorax is a common emergency and critical disease in newborn infants that needs rapid, clear diagnosis and timely treatment. Diagnosis and treatment based on chest X-rays are associated with delayed management and radiation damage. Lung ultrasound (US) provides useful guidance for rapid, accurate diagnosis and the precise thoracentesis of...

Protocol and Guidelines for Point-of-Care Lung Ultrasound in Diagnosing Neonatal Pulmonary Diseases Based on International Expert Consensus

51.9K
Lung ultrasound is a noninvasive and valuable tool for bedside evaluation of neonatal lung diseases. However, a relative lack of reference standards, protocols and guidelines may limit its application. Here, we aim to develop a standardized neonatal lung ultrasound diagnostic protocol to be used in clinical...

Understanding Memory

1.4K
Memory is the retention of information or experiences over time, facilitated through three main processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Encoding is the process of inputting information into the memory system. For instance, when listening to a lecture, watching a play, reading a book, or having a conversation, the brain is actively encoding information. This initial stage involves transforming sensory input into a form that can be processed and stored by the brain. Various factors, such as...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Research
  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Linguistic Analysis

Background:

  • Consensus methods like Delphi studies and nominal group technique are established in healthcare for developing services, processes, and policies.
  • Concept analysis and meta-synthesis are increasingly utilized for collective understanding of subjective terms.
  • Linguistic clarity is crucial for rigorous healthcare research, particularly when dealing with nuanced or subjective concepts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application of consensus methods for achieving linguistic clarity in healthcare research.
  • To explore how consensus methods can be integrated into research designs for subjective term definition.
  • To demonstrate the value of consensus methods in refining conceptual understanding within healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on consensus methods in healthcare research.
