Creation Of An Evidence-Based Cognitive Aid To Decrease Anesthesia-Related Adverse Respiratory Events In Non-Operating Room Areas Within Hospital Settings, Nicholas Catullo, Jessica Gordon, Meagan Donnelly
Creation Of An Evidence-Based Cognitive Aid To Decrease Anesthesia-Related Adverse Respiratory Events In Non-Operating Room Areas Within Hospital Settings, Nicholas Catullo, Jessica Gordon, Meagan Donnelly
DNP Scholarly Projects
The administration of anesthesia outside traditional operating room settings is a rapidly expanding practice that enables various procedures to be performed in non-operating room environments. Despite this growth, anesthesia providers face challenges due to the increasing complexity of cases, diverse patient comorbidities, production pressures, unfamiliar environments, and limited resources in emergencies, all of which greatly compromise patient safety. This Doctor of Nursing Practice project aims to identify essential components for a cognitive aid to support anesthesia providers in these non-operating room settings.
Evidence-Based Cognitive Aid For Anesthesia Providers On Preventing Perioperative Myocardial Infarction During Non-Cardiac Surgery, Kaylee Kromer, Gabrielle Riker
Evidence-Based Cognitive Aid For Anesthesia Providers On Preventing Perioperative Myocardial Infarction During Non-Cardiac Surgery, Kaylee Kromer, Gabrielle Riker
DNP Scholarly Projects
Perioperative myocardial infarction has become the leading cause of mortality within 30 days of non-cardiac surgery, and equates to over one-third of perioperative deaths. Despite the significance of perioperative myocardial infarction, there is a lack of research on preventative strategies, and there is a knowledge gap among anesthesia providers on the identification of patients at a higher risk for developing myocardial ischemia, and the hemodynamic and pharmacological strategies aimed at preventing myocardial insult. Improvement in the recognition of high-risk patients and targeted anesthesia care is crucial to decreasing adverse patient outcomes secondary to myocardial ischemia. This Doctor of Nursing Practice …
Cognitive Aid For Anesthesia Providers Caring For Lactating Mothers, Danielle Pantella, Dana Lawrence
Cognitive Aid For Anesthesia Providers Caring For Lactating Mothers, Danielle Pantella, Dana Lawrence
DNP Scholarly Projects
Evidence on the transfer of medications into breastmilk during the administration of anesthesia and sedation medications may not be well known by anesthesia providers. As they teach lactating mothers, anesthesia clinicians may not be comfortable explaining details about breastfeeding, such as the effects of anesthesia on breast milk and when mothers can safely resume breastfeeding. Lack of provider knowledge may be a safety threat that can be decreased by an evidence-based cognitive aid. The purpose of this patient safety project is to develop a cognitive aid that includes anesthetic agents and knowledge components to structure the provision of care to …
Development Of An Evidence-Based Process For Implementing Stanford Cognitive Aids In Offsite Anesthesia Practice Facilities, Christopher Delaney, Jennalise Eiswerth
Development Of An Evidence-Based Process For Implementing Stanford Cognitive Aids In Offsite Anesthesia Practice Facilities, Christopher Delaney, Jennalise Eiswerth
DNP Scholarly Projects
Failure to rescue patients during medical emergencies often results in significant morbidity and mortality outcomes in outpatient surgical settings. The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice project is to develop an implementation process with the Stanford Anesthesia Cognitive Aid manual (Stanford Anesthesia Cognitive Aid Group) for perioperative critical events in outpatient surgical sites to increase emergency preparedness for the surgical team, including anesthesia and other direct care providers. An educational intervention will be used for the surgical team, including anesthesia and other direct care providers, at outpatient surgical sites on utilization of the Stanford Anesthesia Cognitive Aid manual (Stanford …
Improving Medication Education On An Infectious Disease Unit For Hospitalized Patients At Discharge: A Quality Improvement Project, Kristin L. Pilong
Improving Medication Education On An Infectious Disease Unit For Hospitalized Patients At Discharge: A Quality Improvement Project, Kristin L. Pilong
DNP Scholarly Projects
Medication education by nurses during patients’ hospital stay is an important component of patient care. Nurses’ knowledge of specific medications and the resources that support teaching patients about medications may play a key role in increasing their satisfaction with the hospitalization experience. This quality improvement doctoral project created and validated evidenced-based cognitive aids for nurses to support this process. The project is part of a quality improvement initiative at a hospital in South Jersey to create and validate cognitive aids for 5 high frequency medications prescribed for patients prior to discharge from the hospital The cognitive aids focused on three …
