Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation III: AED Use

459
Introduction to AEDAn Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. In such emergencies, time is of the essence, and using an AED, combined with Cardiopulmonary...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The modified Memorial ED Fall Risk Assessment Tool (MEDFRAT) is effective for emergency department (ED) patients, showing better prediction and fewer errors than the Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (JHFRAT). Nurses also preferred the modified MEDFRAT.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Nursing Research
    • Patient Safety

    Background:

    • The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (JHFRAT) was not originally designed for emergency department (ED) patients.
    • A modified Memorial ED Fall Risk Assessment Tool (MEDFRAT), including nursing judgment, was proposed for ED use but required evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the modified MEDFRAT's effectiveness in assessing fall risk in ED patients.
    • To assess ED nurses' perceptions of the modified MEDFRAT.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-stage quantitative design was employed, including a retrospective chart review of patients who fell and a prospective week-long assessment of ED patients.
    • The modified MEDFRAT and JHFRAT were compared using statistical tests (t-tests, chi-squared), Bland-Altman analysis, predictive abilities, and mismatch rates.
    • Data on tool completion time and nurses' perceptions of the modified MEDFRAT were also collected.

    Main Results:

    • The modified MEDFRAT demonstrated significantly higher predictive ability and lower mismatch rates compared to the JHFRAT.
    • The modified MEDFRAT required less time to complete than the JHFRAT.
    • Most nurses preferred the modified MEDFRAT, indicating positive perceptions.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified MEDFRAT is a suitable and effective tool for fall risk assessment in the emergency department setting.
    • The inclusion of nursing judgment enhances the tool's applicability and acceptance among ED nurses.
