Chronic Pancreatitis II: Collaborative Care01:29

Chronic Pancreatitis II: Collaborative Care

The management of chronic pancreatitis is multifaceted, involving a comprehensive approach that includes thorough assessment, diagnostic testing, and a variety of management strategies.
Assessment:
Analgesia and Pain Management01:25

Analgesia and Pain Management

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...
Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:30

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...
Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

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,...
Nursing Ethical Principles II01:27

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's cancer...
Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Pancreatic cancer patients face inconsistent access to effective pain relief and palliative care.
  • There is a need for standardized, evidence-based approaches to improve patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop evidence-based, community-informed standardized pathways for timely pain management and early palliative care for pancreatic cancer patients.

Main Methods:

  • Multi-method approach incorporating comprehensive community engagement.
  • Inclusion of multidisciplinary clinicians, community groups, and individuals with lived experience.
  • Development of distinct pathways for resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Main Results:

  • Two standardized pathways were developed: one for pain management in resectable pancreatic cancer, and an integrated pathway for pain management and palliative care in unresectable pancreatic cancer.
  • Key pathway elements include pain screening, holistic assessment, early interventional pain management consideration, and timely palliative care introduction.
  • Clinical guidance and links to evidence support pathway implementation.

Conclusions:

  • The developed pathways establish best practice standards grounded in evidence and expert consensus.
  • Extensive engagement ensures pathway relevance and ownership, aiming to reduce care variation and enhance quality.
  • Implementation offers opportunities for benchmarking practice within and between services.
