Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding01:26

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

168
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Barriers to Effective Communication II

3.6K
The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

205
Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

134
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Multimodal strategies have improved rectal cancer outcomes over two decades.
  • Varied implementation of these strategies across centers highlights gaps in evidence-based practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify care gaps in rectal cancer treatment.
  • To implement knowledge translation interventions to improve adherence to best practices.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-year prospective quality improvement study at 8 Canadian centers.
  • Involved patients with stage I-III rectal cancer undergoing total mesorectal excision.
  • Prospective data collection on process measures and knowledge translation interventions.

Main Results:

  • Uptake of 6 of 12 process measures (e.g., multidisciplinary conference presentation) significantly improved (28.6% to 70.3%).
  • Inadequate lymph node retrieval decreased significantly (19.5% to 6.6%).
  • Positive margins and inadequate lymph node retrieval rates at 2 years were 6.8%, 1.6%, and 12.2% respectively.

Conclusions:

  • The study demonstrated improvement in key process and pathology measures for rectal cancer care.
  • Standardized care processes were established, facilitating continuous quality improvement.
  • This initiative may support future multicenter trials in Canada.
