Hearing The Child's Voice: Their Lived Experience In The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Andrea S. Prentiss
Hearing The Child's Voice: Their Lived Experience In The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Andrea S. Prentiss
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Background: More than 200,000 children are admitted annually to Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in the US. Research has shown young children can provide insight into their hospitalization experiences; child reports rather than parental reports are critical to understanding the child’s experience. Information relating to children’s perceptions while still in the PICU is scarce.
Aims: The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate school age children’s and adolescents’ perceptions of PICU while in the PICU; changes in perceptions after transfer to the General Care Unit (GCU); differences in perceptions of school age children/adolescents and those with more invasive procedures. …

Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship
Purpose: Physiologic monitors are plagued with alarms that create a cacophony of sounds and visual alerts causing ‘‘alarm fatigue’’ which creates an unsafe patient environment because a life-threatening event may be missed in this milieu of sensory overload. Using a state-of-the-art technology acquisition infrastructure, all monitor data including 7 ECG leads, all pressure, SpO2, and respiration waveforms as well as user settings and alarms were stored on 461 adults treated in intensive care units. Using a well-defined alarm annotation protocol, nurse scientists with 95% inter-rater reliability annotated 12,671 arrhythmia alarms.
Results: A total of 2,558,760 unique alarms occurred in the …
Heart Rate Variability Measured Early In Patients With Evolving Acute Coronary Syndrome And 1-Year Outcomes Of Rehospitalization And Mortality, Patricia R.E. Harris, Phyllis K. Stein, Gordon L. Fung, Barbara J. Drew
Heart Rate Variability Measured Early In Patients With Evolving Acute Coronary Syndrome And 1-Year Outcomes Of Rehospitalization And Mortality, Patricia R.E. Harris, Phyllis K. Stein, Gordon L. Fung, Barbara J. Drew
Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship
Objective: This study sought to examine the prognostic value of heart rate variability (HRV) measurement initiated immediately after emergency department presentation for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Background: Altered HRV has been associated with adverse outcomes in heart disease, but the value of HRV measured during the earliest phases of ACS related to risk of 1-year rehospitalization and death has not been established.
Methods: Twenty-four-hour Holter recordings of 279 patients with ACS were initiated within 45 minutes of emergency department arrival; recordings with �18 hours of sinus rhythm were selected for HRV analysis (number [N] �193). Time domain, frequency …

Heart Rate Variability Measurement And Clinical Depression In Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Narrative Review Of Recent Literature, Patricia R.E. Harris, Claire E. Sommargren, Phyllis K. Stein, Gordon L. Fung, Barbara J. Drew
Collected Faculty and Staff Scholarship
Aim: We aimed to explore links between heart rate variability (HRV) and clinical depression in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), through a review of recent clinical research literature.
Background: Patients with ACS are at risk for both cardiac autonomic dysfunction and clinical depression. Both conditions can negatively impact the ability to recover from an acute physiological insult, such as unstable angina or myocardial infarction, increasing the risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes. HRV is recognized as a reflection of autonomic function.
Methods: A narrative review was undertaken to evaluate state-of-the-art clinical research, using the PubMed database, January 2013. The search …

PURPOSE
To reduce the rate of hospital acquired pressure ulcers (HAPU), in June 2013, a large urban academic medical center switched from non-breathable to breathable under pads for incontinent patients lying on either a standard bed (low risk patients) or low-air-loss mattress (high risk patients). Standard pressure ulcer prevention measures were maintained. Staff on two oncology units sought to determine the effectiveness of breathable vs. non-breathable under pads in reducing the rate of HAPU and UAPU.
