Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

2.7K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.6K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Peripheral Artery Disease IV: Nursing Management

 The nursing management of a patient with peripheral artery disease (PAD) begins with a thorough assessment of the patient’s health history and clinical manifestations.AssessmentHealth History: Evaluate the patient’s history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of cardiovascular issues, and lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, smoking, and physical activity.Physical Examination:Assess the affected extremity for decreased or absent peripheral pulses,...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

674
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

1.1K
Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.0K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Palliative Medicine
  • Burn Care

Background:

  • Severe burn injuries are a significant cause of hospitalization with high mortality risks.
  • Factors contributing to mortality include advanced age, inhalational injury, and comorbid conditions.
  • Palliative care consultation utilization in burn patients remains largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate factors influencing inpatient palliative care consultation for severe burn injury patients.
  • To assess the current utilization rates of palliative care services in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review conducted at a single burn center.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, injury characteristics, and palliative care consultation records.
  • Identification of variables associated with palliative care consultation.

Main Results:

  • Only 8.9% (17 out of 191) of severe burn patients received palliative care consultation.
  • Average time to consultation was 10.3 days post-admission.
  • Consultation rates were impacted by patient age, presence of inhalational injury, and multiple comorbidities.

Conclusions:

  • Inpatient palliative care consultation is significantly underutilized in patients with severe burn injuries.
  • Further research on palliative care outcomes in burn patients is needed to support early integration.
  • Optimizing palliative care access may improve outcomes for critically ill burn patients.
