Review Of Current Dual-Antiplatelet And Triple Therapy Prescribing Practices At Providence Medical Group, Gina Kim, Christine Doran, Lauren Powell Jan 2024

Review Of Current Dual-Antiplatelet And Triple Therapy Prescribing Practices At Providence Medical Group, Gina Kim, Christine Doran, Lauren Powell

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Approximately 10% of patients with recent percutaneous intervention (PCI) have concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) and others may have concomitant venous thromboembolism (VTE). This makes choosing the optimal antithrombotic regimen challenging. The ACC published a 2020 decision pathway to guide safe and evidence-based use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant combinations for certain patients. These situations include patients with prior AF on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, patients with new-onset AF requiring anticoagulation in a patient already on antiplatelet therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with prior VTE on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, and patients with new or …


Impact Of Injectable Calcitonin Non-Formulary Status On Treatment Of Hypercalcemia Of Malignancy In Hospitalized Patients, Ngoc Nguyen, Pamela Levine, Patricia Leo, Andrew Jarrell Jan 2024

Impact Of Injectable Calcitonin Non-Formulary Status On Treatment Of Hypercalcemia Of Malignancy In Hospitalized Patients, Ngoc Nguyen, Pamela Levine, Patricia Leo, Andrew Jarrell

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Purpose: Evidence suggests there is limited benefit in using injectable calcitonin for the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy. Based on this evidence and in the setting of increased drug costs, many institutions have opted to either restrict or remove calcitonin from their formulary. The purpose of this study was to describe the patient populations receiving treatment for hypercalcemia of malignancy and to evaluate the clinical and financial impact of injectable calcitonin being removed from formulary in an acute care setting. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was reviewed by the Providence Institutional Review Board. Patients were identified through EPIC electronic medical …


Assessment Of Appropriate Anticoagulation And Rates Of Bte In Ambulatory Oncology Patients Using A Validated Risk Assessment Model (Khorana Scote), David Page, Alan Su, Nikki Moxon, Staci Mellinger, Tracy L. Kelly, Katherine Lyon, Pharmd, Ian Ingram, Stephanie Matta, Pharmd, Bcop Jan 2024

Assessment Of Appropriate Anticoagulation And Rates Of Bte In Ambulatory Oncology Patients Using A Validated Risk Assessment Model (Khorana Scote), David Page, Alan Su, Nikki Moxon, Staci Mellinger, Tracy L. Kelly, Katherine Lyon, Pharmd, Ian Ingram, Stephanie Matta, Pharmd, Bcop

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Cancer associated venous thromboembolisms (VTE) are associated with higher health care resource utilization (number of hospitalizations, hospital length of stay, inpatient/outpatient medical services) and can complicate treatment of cancer. The Khorana Predictive Model for Chemotherapy-Associated VTE is a validated risk assessment model that determines a patient’s risk of developing VTEs and provides recommendations for starting prophylactic anticoagulation in ambulatory oncology patients. The Khorana Score is composed of various patient characteristics including site of primary cancer, prechemotherapy platelet count, hemoglobin level, prechemotherapy leukocyte count, and BMI. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) supportive care guidelines recommend prophylactically starting an anticoagulant if …

A Vexing Case: A Newly Discovered Autoinflammatory Disease, Ashley Edwards, Md, Caroline Mcculley, Md

Poster Presentations

Introduction: Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) Syndrome is a recently recognized adult-onset autoinflammatory disease that can lead to potentially lifethreatening multi-system inflammation with estimated prevalence of up to 1 in 5,000 males over the age of 50. Given its significant morbidity and mortality and high prevalence, increased awareness of this condition is of foremost importance. Herein we outline a case of VEXAS syndrome. Case Presentation: Mr. N is a 73-year-old male with a past medical history significant for hypertension and recent episode of uveitis who first presented to the hospital for significant unintentional weight loss, fevers, and abdominal …

Titratable, Weight-Based Cisatracurium Infusions For Ventilation Synchrony In Ards, Nanako Miimi, Pharmd, Celine Munoz Jan 2024

Titratable, Weight-Based Cisatracurium Infusions For Ventilation Synchrony In Ards, Nanako Miimi, Pharmd, Celine Munoz

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Cisatracurium is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used for paralysis in paitents with acute respiratory distress syndrome on mechanical ventilation. Paralysis prevents ventilator dyssynchrony and reduces patient’s work of breathing, which decreases the risk of pneumothorax. On November 1, 2023, PSVMC critical care units transitioned from fixed dosing of cisatracurium for ARDS to a weight-based, titratable dosing protocol. A single-center retrospective cohort study demonstrated cisatracurium titrated using train-of-four was associated with similar ventilatory and clinical outcomes with three folds reduction in cisatracrurium dose in comparison to fixed dose strategy. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the drug …

Tuberculous Myositis In The Leg Musculature, Tho Nguyen, Md

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Introduction - The majority of active Mycobacterium tuberculosis cases are pulmonary, but extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can account for up to 30% of active cases. Cases of tuberculosis myositis are rare and account for less than three percent of active cases and diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity. We present a case of TB myositis and discuss the difficulties in diagnosis Case - Patient is an 82-year-old Vietnamese speaking female with hypertension and hyperlipidemia who presented for acute onset of nausea and vomiting in setting of three-month history of recurrent left lower extremity (LLE) swelling without systemic symptoms such …

Implementation Of Medication Inventory Management Solution At A Critical Access Hospital, Justin Donat, Christopher Adams Jan 2024

Implementation Of Medication Inventory Management Solution At A Critical Access Hospital, Justin Donat, Christopher Adams

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Accurately monitoring pharmacy inventory in real-time is vital to providing safe and cost-effective medical care at hospitals of any size. At smaller critical access hospitals, in particular, effective inventory management requires solutions to unique problems posed by floorspace, budget, and workflow limitations. In 2022, Providence Health System (PHS) began systemwide implementation of both a standardized inventory management solution (IMS) and an AI-assisted medication ordering software (MOS). By initiation of this project, larger hospitals in the system had already implemented the IMS and MOS at their inpatient pharmacies to mixed success. In May of 2024, Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital …
