Fishing For A “Good Catch”: System-Wide Initiative To Increase Near-Miss Event Reporting, Nicole Ingram, Lisa Bebko

VCU Health Nursing

Purpose: High reliability principles and patient safety tenets emphasize the importance of preventative measures and mitigation in near-miss safety events to prevent patient harm. Near-Miss Event (NME) reporting at VCU Health was recognized as waning in the face of higher-level harm events. Misnomers in the environment led front line team members to believe that their Good Catches, acts of preventing harm from reaching the patient, did not warrant safety event reporting as they were “just doing their job.”

Action: Fishing for a "Good Catch” was developed to encourage team members to recognize, speak up, and aid in the prevention …

Neuroprognostication In Patients With A Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Quasi-Review Of Anti-Inflammatory Agent Administration Versus Blood Pressure Management, Julia Gabalski, Marcie Mcmahon

Soaring: A Journal of Undergraduate Research

A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of stoke where a blood vessel bursts and causes the subarachnoid space to become filled with blood. Traditional nursing management of SAH includes close monitoring of blood pressure goals in order to prevent complications such as vasospasm. Vasospasm causes delayed cerebral ischemia and neurological deficits secondary to the initial injury. Recent research has expanded understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind the neuroinflammatory cascade that occurs after a SAH. In this study, a methodical search was conducted through the CINAHL and PubMed databases to form a quasi-review of current research. The comparison of traditional …

Doulas In Modern Health Care, Gabriella J. Lawrence

Soaring: A Journal of Undergraduate Research

This paper looks into whether the implementation of doulas by all hospitals would benefit mothers before, during, and after childbirth. Through previous research it is shown how traumatizing birth can be for mothers who don't feel that they have control within the labor and delivery room. High rates of augmentation, epidural anesthesia, and cesarean sections within hospitals are all causes of postpartum anxiety and depression among new mothers. By researching who a doula is and what they can do for mothers during childbirth, we can get a better understanding on how to prevent mental health disorders that are caused by …
