Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.5K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Distribution

204
Drug distribution in the pediatric population exhibits unique challenges and considerations due to the physiological differences between children, particularly neonates and infants, and adults. A crucial aspect of pediatric pharmacology is understanding how these differences impact the pharmacokinetics of various drugs, necessitating age-specific dosing strategies to ensure efficacy and safety.Neonates and infants have a higher total body water content, ~75%–90% of their body weight,...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.4K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Overview and Drug Absorption

184
Understanding the physiological differences in the pediatric population is crucial for effective pharmacotherapy. Neonates, infants, and children exhibit significant variations in gastric pH, gastric emptying time, intestinal transit time, and biliary function. These variations profoundly affect oral drug absorption, necessitating a nuanced approach to pediatric dosing.Neonates present with a unique physiological profile, having a gastric pH greater than 4 and faster and more irregular gastric...

Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications

1.6K
Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism

146
In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Technology
  • Digital Health Resources
  • Online Learning Platforms

Background:

  • Free Open Access Meducation (FOAM) represents a significant shift in medical education delivery.
  • Understanding the user demographics and behavioral patterns of FOAM resources is crucial for optimizing their effectiveness.
  • Current knowledge regarding the specific user base and engagement strategies for FOAM platforms remains limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the user demographics and behavioral patterns associated with a popular Free Open Access Meducation (FOAM) website.
  • To analyze user engagement metrics, including session duration and pages per session, in relation to device type and referral source.
  • To identify trends in how different user segments interact with online medical education content.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Google Analytics data from a prominent FOAM site (www.paedatricfoam.com) over a 4-month period (2018/2019).
  • Employed descriptive and statistical analyses using SPSS (version 26) to examine user demographics and behavior.
  • Collected and analyzed data on daily users, gender distribution, age groups, device usage, session duration, pages per session, and referral sources.

Main Results:

  • The site attracted a mean of 181.44 daily users, with 68.9% being female and 44% aged 25-34 years.
  • Mobile devices were the primary access method (57.3%), with 84.3% of mobile users viewing only a single page.
  • Desktop and tablet users exhibited longer session durations and viewed more pages per session compared to mobile users; referral source correlated with device usage (p<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • FOAM platforms are experiencing substantial user engagement, attracting a broad audience beyond their intended readership.
  • User behavior on FOAM sites is diverse, characterized by a significant proportion of single-page views via mobile devices, often driven by social media or search engine referrals.
  • While Google Analytics provides valuable insights, further research is essential to assess the scope, accuracy, and educational effectiveness of FOAM resources for a heterogeneous user base.
