The purpose of this project was to implement a nurse-driven hydration protocol to potentially decrease the risk of acute kidney injuries (AKI) in patients undergoing contrast procedures, which in turn should reduce length of stay.
Background
The project was implemented in a CVICU and Cardiac Catheterization Lab (CCL) Lab in an academic center in Houston, Texas.
Methodology
The project utilized Lean Six Sigma methodology and SBAR communication among staff utilizing a nurse-driven protocol to ensure hydration orders were activated during pre- and post- procedure. The staff were educated on how to implement the protocol prior to the start of …

Purpose
Consecutive 12-hr workdays can contribute to increased stress and fatigue and negative biological responses in nurses, potentially compromising quality of patient care and safety. The primary purpose of this study was to assess changes in stress, fatigue, and biological responses (salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase) over three consecutive 12-hr workdays in acute care nurses and how stress and social resources function in predicting fatigue and biological responses.
Methods
In a prospective study, 81 acute care nurses completed questionnaires and provided saliva samples four times: pre-shifts and post-shifts of day 1 and day 3.
Results
Although stress and biological responses did …
