Nurse-Led Interprofessional Pressure Injury Prevention In The Medical Intensive Care Unit, Chelsea Lannoo

Articles, Abstracts, and Reports

Background:

The patient population in Medical Intensive care units (MICU) have the highest risk of developing pressure injuries. These pressure injuries can be attributed from medical devices such as Endotracheal tubes, nasogastric tubes, chest tubes etc. Diligent care and assessment of skin is crucial upon admission. Aggressive measures need to be implemented early through prevention protocols, the Air-tap turning system, appropriate bed education, placement of foams/Z-flex boots on arrival to unit. Appropriate staff education will help ensure policies are being initiated early on and decrease hospital acquired pressure injuries.

Purpose:

The Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) has seen a gradual …

Bolstering Moral Courage And Ethical Decision-Making Confidence To Moderate Nurse Leader Moral Distress, Lisa Krening

Central Division Nurse Clinical Inquiry Conference

Abstract:

Bolstering Moral Distress Knowledge, Ethical Decision-Making Confidence, and Moral Courage Among Nurse Leaders

Background

Nurse leaders report low confidence navigating ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas arise when ethical values are challenged, causing uncertainty about how to proceed. Left unresolved, ethical dilemmas impact ethical decision-making and can lead to moral distress. Moral distress is the anguish that occurs when there is recognition of an ethical dilemma necessitating a professional obligation to act, yet barriers exist to taking the ethically correct course of action.

To reduce moral distress, nurse leaders not only need to be able to identify an ethical dilemma, know …

Nitrous Oxide Administration In General Anesthesia Patients, Kaley Smith, Karen Colorafi, Kenn Daratha, Braden Hemingway

Central Division Nurse Clinical Inquiry Conference

Abstract:

Background:

Nitrous oxide is an inexpensive and fast-acting gas used in a variety of inpatient and outpatient perioperative settings to hasten the onset of and emergence from general anesthesia. Problematically, nitrous oxide has been identified as a risk factor for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), one of the most common adverse events after anesthesia. Unresolved PONV is linked to increased pain, wound dehiscence, aspiration, and longer stays in the recovery area and/or hospital. An Apfel Simplified Risk Score can be calculated to predict PONV based on four patient characteristics: female sex, non-smoker, history of PONV or motion sickness, and …

Rates Of Postoperative Pneumonia In Healthy Adults Receiving Neostigmine Versus Sugammadex: A Multi-Center Evidence-Based Practice Project, Kirstie Gorthy, Braden Hemingway, Karen Colorafi, Kenn Daratha

Central Division Nurse Clinical Inquiry Conference

Abstract:

Background

Residual neuromuscular blockade increases morbidity and mortality following surgery with general anesthesia and paralysis. Optimal antagonism of pharmacologic muscle relaxation is critical to avoiding residual weakness and subsequent pneumonia. The clinical question that guided the investigation of the evidence was, ‘Among healthy adults requiring neuromuscular blockade during general anesthesia for elective, noncardiac surgery, does the use of sugammadex compared to neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade influence the rate of postoperative pneumonia within seven days?’

Purpose

The primary purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to describe the rates of pneumonia among healthy adults antagonized with neostigmine or …
