Effect Of A Voice Recognition System On Paediatric Outpatient Medication Errors, Angela Nyangore Migowa
Theses & Dissertations
Background: Medication errors have potential to cause harm and death; especially children who are three times more vulnerable than adults. Risk of medication errors is higher in out- patient settings due to a stressful work environment with less familiarity of individual patients. This problem in sub-Saharan Africa is however largely undetermined. A Voice Recognition System that converts verbal messages into text and stores it in a database in a retrievable format could impact on reduction of medication errors.
Objectives: The primary objective was to compare medication prescription and dispensing errors in written prescriptions with those from a Voice …
Prevalence Of Acute Kidney Injury Using Urine Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin As An Early Biomarker In Neonates With Perinatal Asphyxia, Farida Essajee
Theses & Dissertations
Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of perinatal asphyxia occurring in up to 61% of the neonates. Currently the diagnosis of AKI is based on serum creatinine levels and clinically by oliguria, however these are late markers of the disease. More novel biomarkers are emerging that predict the diagnosis early. Current research indicates urine NGAL as an early marker for AKI, yet there is paucity of data about its use in term neonates with perinatal asphyxia.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence …
