Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Area of Science:

Surgical site infection (SSI) prevention and management
Digital health and telehealth applications in surgery
Patient-provider communication in post-operative care

Background:

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant cause of readmissions, complicating ~10% of operations.
Decreasing post-operative hospitalization necessitates improved remote patient monitoring solutions.
Current resources for patients to report wound issues at home are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate patient and provider attitudes towards a remote wound monitoring application.
To identify potential benefits and challenges of implementing such technology in surgical care.

Main Methods:

Formative descriptive qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews.
Interviews conducted with five patients and five providers from a colorectal surgery clinic.
Thematic analysis of transcribed interviews to identify key themes and codes.

Main Results:

Identified themes include current barriers, infection types, workflow integration, and interest in SSI monitoring.
Patients and providers expressed positive anticipation and discussed application features and potential issues.
Overarching themes highlight the potential of smartphone apps to improve communication and wound care coordination.

Conclusions:

A user-centric approach to developing remote wound monitoring applications is feasible.
Patients and providers show readiness to adopt remote monitoring for early SSI detection.
Telehealth collaboration is welcomed for enhanced interdisciplinary management of surgical wounds.
