Planning Nursing Care I01:21

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
Reinforced Brick Masonry01:15

Reinforced Brick Masonry

Reinforced brick masonry is an advanced construction technique that enhances the structural integrity of brick walls by incorporating steel reinforcements. These reinforcements are either placed within the hollow cores of bricks or sandwiched between two layers of masonry, known as wythes, and are then secured in place with grout. Grout is a fluid mixture composed of Portland cement, aggregate, and water, providing the necessary bonding agent for the steel and brick.
To fortify brick walls...
Laying Concrete Masonry01:16

Laying Concrete Masonry

Constructing a concrete masonry wall involves a series of steps designed to ensure durability, stability, and alignment. The construction starts with preparing the base, which includes cleaning the area where the wall will be erected. The next step involves spreading mortar where the first row of concrete blocks will be laid, typically starting at a corner section to help define the wall's boundaries.
Mortar application focuses on the face shells of the blocks, the sides that face outward, and...

Design Example: Designing a Residential Plumbing System

The design of residential plumbing systems requires carefully evaluating water demand, flow rates, and pressure dynamics to ensure both efficiency and reliability. The nature of water flow within pipes is defined by its Reynolds number, which classifies flow as either laminar (smooth) or turbulent.

Area of Science:

  • Microsurgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Autologous breast reconstruction is a vital option for breast cancer survivors.
  • Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flaps are standard, but not suitable for all patients.
  • Complex autologous reconstruction offers alternatives but requires specialized programs due to high technical demand.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the process and preliminary outcomes of establishing a complex autologous breast reconstruction program at a tertiary academic center.
  • To address the growing demand for complex autologous flaps and the need for specialized training.
  • To improve patient access to advanced reconstructive techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of patients before and after program initiation.
  • Implementation of a multi-phase program development strategy.
  • Focus on a co-surgeon model for training and case management.

Main Results:

  • 74 breast mounds reconstructed in 46 patients using 87 flaps over 23 months.
  • Significant decrease in median surgical time for bilateral reconstruction by 124 minutes (p=0.03).
  • Increased co-surgeon cases by 66% (p<0.01) and complex autologous reconstructions by 42% (p<0.01).

Conclusions:

  • A complex autologous breast reconstruction program can be successfully established using a phased approach and a co-surgeon model.
  • Dedicated programs enhance patient access to complex reconstructive surgery.
  • Such programs improve operative efficiency and provide valuable training for microsurgeons.
