The Imperative To Build Research Capacity And Promote Evidence-Based Practice In Australian Perioperative Nurses, Jed Duff
Journal of Perioperative Nursing
Evidence-based practice is considered the gold standard of care, and as such it is now an expectation of our patients, regulatory agencies and health care funders. Unfortunately, much of what we do in perioperative nursing continues to be based on tradition and history rather than robust clinical evidence. Even when evidence is available to use, it is often not fully applied in practice. If we want to maintain our standing as a leading nursing specialty, then we need to address this issue by engaging with research and growing our evidence base. To do this, we need to conduct and disseminate ...

Ecg For All Patients In The Pacu: Some Say, Why? I Say, Why Not?, Paula Foran
Journal of Perioperative Nursing
Currently in many Australian hospitals, electrocardiogram (ECG) leads are removed after the operative process and, despite the machines being freely available in the Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU), they are not connected to all patients.
There are many evidence-based reasons why an ECG would be advantageous for perioperative patient safety, including the detection of often asymptomatic conditions such as myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) and new-onset atrial fibrillation, which has been shown to increase the risk of stroke. Advantages may also be seen in saving precious minutes in a cardiac arrest, and the ability for nurses to constantly observe ...
Who’S Under The Mask? Colour-Differentiated Identification Labels For Perioperative Staff,

Who’S Under The Mask? Colour-Differentiated Identification Labels For Perioperative Staff, Diana Bentley
Journal of Perioperative Nursing
Staff identification in the perioperative environment is difficult when all staff, students and visitors wear the same attire. All attire needs to be laundered to national standards for infection control governance and consequently attire cannot be individualised. In emergency situations it is also difficult to identify the roles of all staff with standard methods of identification.
The aim of the ‘Colour-differentiated identification labels’ project was to improve identification of all staff and visitors in the perioperative environment with the intended result being improved communication and safety among staff, patients and visitors. The project began in February 2018 with project leads ...

Perioperative Nurses’ Engagement With The Surgical Safety Checklist: A Focused Ethnography, Julie A. Rogers Mrs, Paul Mcleish Mr, Jan Alderman Mrs
Journal of Perioperative Nursing
Purpose
To gain greater insight into how nurses engage with the multidisciplinary team during the surgical safety checklist process.
Participants and setting
Participants were a purposeful sample of eight operating room nurses. The study was conducted in the operating room department of a major tertiary teaching hospital in South Australia.
Methods
Phase 1 employed participant observations while phase 2 employed semi-structured interviews.
Findings
Participants supported the use of the surgical safety checklist and valued its role to enhance patient safety. Multidisciplinary team culture played a significant role in how the checklist was conducted and heavily influenced the level of nurse ...
General Surgery Mobile Procedure Cart: Providing Safe And Efficient Procedure Based Care To The Bedside,

General Surgery Mobile Procedure Cart: Providing Safe And Efficient Procedure Based Care To The Bedside, Ryan Lamm, Ellen Caparosa, James Fraser, Lindsay Lynch, Uzma Rahman, Lindsay Weil, Harish Lavu
House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2020-)
Objective
To create a mobile supply cart with all necessary supplies needed for the most common general surgery bedside procedures in order to decrease the amount of times residents need to “shop” for supplies from other locations and prevent delays in procedures to get supplies that are not available. In turn, this will increase patient safety and quality of procedure-based care delivered.

The goal of this study was to investigate TT placement patterns and resident confidence at one academic medical center. In addition, our second objective was to gather quantitative data on the frequency and context of TT placement, rates of complications, and factors associated with complications among residents at TJUH.

Laryngotracheal Stenosis, Kelsey Stuckey
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) is the luminal compromise at the laryngeal, subglottic, or tracheal level (Gelbard et al., 2014). Various etiologies for LTS exist. Endotracheal cuff over-inflation, inappropriately sized endotracheal tubes, and sudden movements of the tube contribute to injury, as well as anatomical differences(Cardillo et al., 2010; Divatia & Bhowmick, 2005; Medina et al., 2009; Miñambres et al., 2009; Nikolovski et al., 2019; Zaghi et al.,2016). The influence of estrogen may contribute to the development of LTS in women during the third through fifth decades Dedo & Catten, 2001; Poetker et al., 2006; Valdez & Shapshay, 2002). The project goal was to provide an evidence-based ...

Surgical Care Perspectives: Exploring Barriers And Facilitators To Surgery In Rural Nebraska, Sarah Stanislav
Capstone Experience
Background: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is associated with less pain, faster recovery, and lower complication rates. Despite being the standard of care, it remains underutilized in rural Nebraska. Surgeon shortages and limited studies describing patient and provider factors influencing treatment gaps contribute to unnecessary complications and healthcare expenditure. Our study aimed to understand rural surgical care barriers and facilitators encountered by patients, providers, and stakeholders in Nebraska. Methods: This exploratory mixed methods study involved 17 semi-structured interviews using a snowball sampling of eligible participants affiliated with an MIS Advisory Committee. Two coders analyzed data using NVivo12. A follow-up review of ...
