The Quest For Full Text: An In-Depth Examination Of Pubget For Medical Searchers, Robin Featherstone, Denise Hersey Dec 2013

The Quest For Full Text: An In-Depth Examination Of Pubget For Medical Searchers, Robin Featherstone, Denise Hersey

Denise Hersey

This article examines Pubget, a free Web-based search engine for life sciences researchers for conducting searches of the medical literature and retrieving full-text PDFs. Its search functionality and add-on features are evaluated to determine potential for library instruction and promotion. With many libraries relying on OpenURL link resolvers to connect searchers with institutional subscriptions, Pubget offers an alternative by combining search, article-level link resolving, and authentication in a single platform. The authors determine advantages and disadvantages for using Pubget based on product testing and make recommendations for institutions interested in “activating” subscriptions in Pubget.


Rewarming For Accidental Hypothermia In An Urban Medical Center Using Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation., David Morley, Kentaro Yamane, Rika O'Malley, Nicholas Cavarocchi, Hitoshi Hirose Dec 2013

Rewarming For Accidental Hypothermia In An Urban Medical Center Using Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation., David Morley, Kentaro Yamane, Rika O'Malley, Nicholas Cavarocchi, Hitoshi Hirose

Nicholas C Cavarocchi MDJ

BACKGROUND: Accidental hypothermia complicated by cardiac arrest carries a high mortality rate in urban areas. For moderate hypothermia cases conventional rewarming methods are usually adequate, however in severe cases extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is known to provide the most efficient rewarming with complete cardiopulmonary support. We report a case of severe hypothermia complicated by prolonged cardiac arrest successfully resuscitated using ECMO. CASE REPORT: A 45 year old female was brought to our emergency department with a core body temperature CONCLUSIONS: This case demonstrates the advantages of advanced internal rewarming techniques, such as ECMO, for quick and efficient rewarming of severely …

Use Of The Institute For Healthcare Improvement’S (Ihi) Real Time Demand Capacity (Rtdc) Model To Promote Organizational Values And Optimize Patient Flow, Paris B. Lovett Oct 2013

Use Of The Institute For Healthcare Improvement’S (Ihi) Real Time Demand Capacity (Rtdc) Model To Promote Organizational Values And Optimize Patient Flow, Paris B. Lovett

Paris B Lovett, MD, MBA, FACEP, FACHE

Deployment of the RTDC model together with opening our PFMC and implementing ED process improvement initiatives resulted in a 70% reduction in ED boarding hours, a 50% reduction in blocked beds, and the virtual elimination of ED diversion. Although unquantifiable, initiating the RTDC model helped strengthen the multidisciplinary team now responsible for patient flow and aligned their work with our organizational values.

EMS providers face many ethical issues while providing prehospital care to children and adults. Although provider judgment plays a large role in the resolution of ethical questions at the scene, it is important to establish protocols and policies, when possible, to address these high risk and complex situations. This article describes some of the common situations with ethical underpinnings encountered by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel and managers including denying or delaying transport of patients with non-emergency conditions, use of lights and sirens for patient transport, determination of medical futility in the field, termination of resuscitation, restriction of EMS provider …
