Secondary Prevention For Acute Coronary Syndrome In Rural South Australia: Are Drugs Best? What About The Rest?, Tracey Wachtel, Angela Kucia, Jennene Greenhill
Secondary Prevention For Acute Coronary Syndrome In Rural South Australia: Are Drugs Best? What About The Rest?, Tracey Wachtel, Angela Kucia, Jennene Greenhill
Angela Kucia
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current Australian clinical guidelines recommend all patients with ACS receive comprehensive secondary prevention services to address this burden. Optimal patient outcomes rely on the timely and effective implementation of proven therapies and for secondary prevention to be successful, pharmcological interventions must be combined with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor identification and management. The ability to implement clinical guidelines is also reliant on available resources, yet many rural populations in Australia do not have access to structured secondary prevention services, and the level of support available to them …

Continuous St/T Wave Monitoring During An Acute Coronary Syndrome Presentation In Patients With The Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon (Csfp), Natalie Cutri, Angela Kucia, John F. Beltrame
Continuous St/T Wave Monitoring During An Acute Coronary Syndrome Presentation In Patients With The Coronary Slow Flow Phenomenon (Csfp), Natalie Cutri, Angela Kucia, John F. Beltrame
Angela Kucia
The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is a coronary microvascular disorder that typically presents as an acute coronary syndrome and is characterised by delayed vessel opification on angiography in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. This study compared the frequency of the ST segment (STs) and T wave (TW) change during continuous ST/T wave monitoring in healthy controls and patients with the CSFP.

ST segment (STs) and T wave (Tw) changes are markers of myocardial ischaemia. However, STs changes have been reported with changes in body position. The effect of body position on Tw changes is unknown and the objective of this study.

The Effect Of A Nurse-Respiratory Therapist Weaning Protocol On The Duration Of Mechanical Ventilation And The Incidence Of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, Andrea Lucas
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The purpose of this research study was to show the effectiveness of implementing a standardized nurse-respiratory driven weaning protocol in decreasing the time spent on mechanical ventilation and the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients compared to using individual physician methods. Chart reviews were performed to compare the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) prior to the initiation of the nurse-respiratory driven weaning protocol. Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation theory was used as a framework for this study to show that nurses could promote adaption by using a standardized ventilator weaning protocol. The study did not show statistical significance that …
The Effect Of Nurse Initiated Paracetamol On Emergency Department Patients With Pain From Low Acuity Injury, Joanne G. Wilson
The Effect Of Nurse Initiated Paracetamol On Emergency Department Patients With Pain From Low Acuity Injury, Joanne G. Wilson
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Early identification and management of pain was identified at the commencement of this study as a key area requiring research in emergency departments. Prolonged waiting times for analgesia especially, was highlighted in the National Institute of Clinical Studies emergency department collaborative in 2003. Many barriers exist for a patient to receive analgesia. In Western Australia this is compounded by the legislation which restricts prescribing rights for nurses. Three considerations guided the development of the research project. Firstly, the patient has initial contact with the emergency department from the nurse at triage. Secondly, paracetamol was recognised as a potentially effective analgesic …
