Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The delivery of health care for postoperative bariatric patients remains a challenge in rural settings, often leading to varied patient outcomes and inefficient resource allocation. This study aims to develop and implement a strategic model of care for postoperative bariatric patients at Castleview Hospital in Rural Utah. Grounded in the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice, this initiative focuses on creating a cohesive and comprehensive postoperative care pathway, tailored to the unique patient demographics and facility constraints of a 39-bed hospital serving 35-45 bariatric patients annually. Methodology includes ethical considerations, secured through CITI training and pending IRB approval, robust data collection …
Heterotopic Ossification: Cellular Basis, Symptoms, And Treatment, Brian Wolfe
Heterotopic Ossification: Cellular Basis, Symptoms, And Treatment, Brian Wolfe
Senior Honors Theses
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the process by which calcified bone develops in soft tissues. Because of the abnormal calcification, complications such as bone deformation, loss of range of motion, and joint immobility adversely affect patients. There are many genetic types of heterotopic ossification, namely fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, progressive osseous heteroplasia, and Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. However, this condition can also arise from surgery, burns, or traumatic injuries, so it is seen as an important area for research in the future. There are various treatments available such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and radiation therapy, as well as combinations of the two. The …
Surgical Delay For Hip Fracture Clients And The Use Of Clopidogrel: An Integrative Review, Phoebe Genevieve Waller
Surgical Delay For Hip Fracture Clients And The Use Of Clopidogrel: An Integrative Review, Phoebe Genevieve Waller
Senior Honors Theses
Abstract
Hip fractures in elderly patients have very high postoperative mortality rates and the number of hip fractures in the United States is expected to increase exponentially before 2030. Early surgery is essential to improve outcomes, but patients on clopidogrel (Plavix) have a high risk for increased bleeding if surgery is performed within the usual 72 hour window. This paper presents literature and research addressing the dangers of delaying surgery versus undergoing surgery before the effects of the clopidogrel are gone. Based on articles published after 2006, most researchers advocated earlier surgical intervention than previously recommended and emphasized an individualized …
