Staff and Researcher Publications

Background: As there has been a demonstrated link between sleep disturbance and suicide, the present study investigated the relationship between self-reported sleep disturbance during inpatient psychiatric treatment and clinical outcomes at discharge and six months post-discharge.

Methods: Participants were 2,970 adults receiving care in a long-term inpatient psychiatric hospital. Greater than 90% of inpatients reported at least mild sleep disturbance throughout treatment. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to determine patterns of sleep disturbance changes over time.

Results: Participants fit into distinct categories based on their trajectories of sleep problems across treatment: No Sleep Problems (10.3% of participants, no sleep problems …

Medication Use Evaluation Of Human 4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (Pcc), Lauren Avery, Duy Vu, Hua Ling

Research Day

Purpose: To evaluate appropriate usage of 4-factor PCC based on indication and dosage in patients requiring urgent anticoagulation reversal experiencing a life-threatening bleed, or preparing for an invasive procedure/surgery at WellStar North Fulton Hospital.

Methods: The electronic health record system will identify patients who have received at least one dose of 4-factor PCC. Patient name and medical record number will be de-identified and excluded from data collection. The following data will be collected: patient age, gender, indication, specific agent being reversed (if available), dosage, total number of doses given, location of bleed, 30 minute INR differential, other factors …

Allicin Reverses Diabetes-Induced Dysfunction Of Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells, Daniel Horuzsko, Margeaux Lacavera, Handong Ma, Yan Wu, Shu Zhu, Richard E. White

Research Day

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, and is the major source of morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes mellitus. Because the incidence of diabetes continues to increase, reducing the risk of CVD in diabetes will continue to be a major focus of cardiovascular research. An early manifestation of diabetes-induced CVD is dysfunction of the vascular endothelium, as indicated by depressed production of NO. Our findings now demonstrate depressed activity of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in diabetes, and suggest that treating human coronary artery endothelial cells with allicin, the major bioactive organosulfur component …

Use Of Atypical Antipsychotics In Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation Related Anxiety, Leanne Honeycutt Varner, Irandokht Khaki Najafabadi, Megan Boudouin, Terri Tenhoor, Laverne Patterson

Research Day

Anxiety should be a key factor for consideration in an inpatient setting, especially for those in the intensive care unit or any patient requiring long term mechanical ventilation. A multidisciplinary team from Dekalb Medical created a therapist driven protocol for prolonged mechanical ventilation weaning, which requires patients to be evaluated for ventilation associated anxiety. Presented here is a case of a 57-year-old African American female who reported to with a chief complaint of respiratory failure. Upon further investigation by the medical team, she was noted to be in hypercapnic respiratory failure and was initially treated with Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure …

Outcome Of Pharmacists’ Counseling Infusion Center Patients On Chemotherapy, Sonia Amin Thomas, Kayla Waymyers

Research Day

Patient education for patients getting chemotherapy is vital to their survival. The purpose of this study is to discuss the outcomes of counseling patients in an infusion center getting chemotherapy in terms of impact on quality of life, satisfaction and emergency room visitations. This study was conducted to determine patient satisfaction after being counseled by a pharmacist and if hospitalizations were prevented after education by a pharmacist.This was a single center, prospective, survey-based study at a small community hospital infusion center that consists of approximately five chairs. The study consisted of 15 patients, over the course of six months (April-October …

Medication Use Evaluation Of Intravenous Acetaminophen In Surgical Patients, Irandokht Khaki Najafabadi, Duy Vu, Hyeseung Kang, Samuel N. John, Hua Ling

Research Day

Purpose: Intravenous acetaminophen was introduced to the WellStar North Fulton hospital formulary in February 2018. Hospital protocol restricts intravenous acetaminophen use to 24 hours doses in postoperative patients who are not candidates for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy for the relief of mild to moderate pain, in order to reduce opioid utilization in the operative setting. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the compliance with restrictions for use of intravenous acetaminophen among surgical patients at our institution.

Methods: The electronic health record system was used to identify surgical patients who received at least one dose …

Peripheral Intravenous Infiltrates: Engaging Staff To Increase Reporting, Emily Weber, Kimberly Castrillon, Joyce Ramsey-Coleman

Journal of Nursing & Interprofessional Leadership in Quality & Safety

A large free standing children’s academic hospital aimed to improve patient safety and outcomes by decreasing the overall severity of peripheral intravenous infiltration and extravasations (PIVIEs). A care bundle was developed by creating a PIVIE measurement tool within the electronic medical record (EMR) and integrating the tool into standardized daily practice for nurses. The care bundle included creating a team of clinical leaders consisting of empowered bedside nurses acting as mobilized resources embedded into each unit. The initiative resulted in a large scale increase in reported PIVIEs system-wide within 1 month of education dissemination to bedside RN staff. The QI …
