Raising The Barb: Evaluation Of Phenobarbital Use For Alcohol Withdrawal In Patients On General Medicine Floors, Seth Arakawa, Jason Frederick, Anthony Le Apr 2026

Raising The Barb: Evaluation Of Phenobarbital Use For Alcohol Withdrawal In Patients On General Medicine Floors, Seth Arakawa, Jason Frederick, Anthony Le

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) can present as a spectrum of symptoms such as a mild headache, gastrointestinal issues, and diaphoresis. However, if not treated properly, it can progress to severe hallucinations, seizures, or delirium tremens. Current guidelines from the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) recommend benzodiazepines as first line agents for alcohol withdrawal with phenobarbital recommended as an adjunct agent or replacement to benzodiazepines by providers who are familiar with its use. Although most evidence supporting phenobarbital in AWS comes from critical care settings, emerging data suggest it may also be safe and effective in general ward patients. …

Adherence To Sb5195 Naloxone Distribution Requirements At Discharge From The Emergency Department, E Stewart, J Delfeld, J Mckay, J Corhei, Kailyn Elliot

Providence Nursing Research Conference 2023 – Present

Background: Washington State, mirroring a national crisis, experienced a surge in opioid-related deaths, with 17,502 fatalities from 2007 to 2021. This trend aligns with the U.S.'s broader opioid epidemic, marked by 70,000 drug overdose deaths in 2017, data show overdose deaths involving opioids increased from an estimated 70,029 in 2020 to 80,816 in 2021. Overdose deaths were from synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl. In response, empowering registered nurses (RNs) in emergency departments (EDs) to issue Nurse-Initiated Orders (NIO) for patients to discharge from the hospital with physical naloxone pre-pack kits to be used in the community, an opioid antagonist, has …

Retrospective Review Of Phenobarbital Versus Lorazepam For Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome In The Emergency Department, Spencer Hayashi, Savita Bathija, Pharmd, Bcemp, Paul Vanemmerik, Nishat Mujeeb, Chris De Las Alas

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), in the US, alcohol use contributes to up to five million emergency department (ED) visits annually. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that can lead to complications such as hallucinations, seizures, and delirium tremens. For many years, the standard treatment for AWS has been symptom-triggered benzodiazepines, often dosed based on symptom scoring tools such as the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol-Revised (CIWA-Ar) Score. In recent years, the use of phenobarbital for AWS management has gained popularity, and studies investigating its safety and …

Clinical Outcomes Associated With Mrsa Naat Utilization., Shannon B. Leighton, Pharmd, Emily Fox, Greg Tallman

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: A recent analysis by the Oregon Regional Antimicrobial Stewardship Program demonstrated that across the Oregon region, MRSA NAAT from the nares have a high negative predictive value (NPV) of 99.4%. These findings were consistent when stratified by culture site. The high NPV suggests that MRSA NAAT nasal swabs can be useful in promoting de-escalation (e.g., discontinuation) of anti-MRSA treatment. Few studies have evaluated if use of the MRSA NAAT influences anti-MRSA treatment de-escalation, and even fewer have assessed important clinical outcomes related to MRSA NAAT utilization and de-escalation. The goal of this study is to evaluate the frequency of …


Impact Of Pharmacist Concierge Service For Patient With Denied Prior Authorization, Ben Song, Jenifer Smith Jan 2024

Impact Of Pharmacist Concierge Service For Patient With Denied Prior Authorization, Ben Song, Jenifer Smith

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Prior authorization (PA) is an evidence-based utilization management process used by managed care organizations to ensure prescribed products or services are safe, effective, and medically necessary for coverage.2 While PA is important for assessing clinically appropriate medication utilization, however, denials can lead to patient dissatisfaction, administrative burden for providers, and delays in patient care.1,2,3 Recent studies on the effect of PA received mixed results. One study illustrated that in an American Medical Association survey about PA, 91% of physicians reported that patients requiring care experienced care delays, and 75% of patients abandoned their treatments because of obstacles associated with …


Acute Pain Management Of Hospitalized Patients On Medication-Assisted Therapies (Mat) For Opioid Use Disorder (Oud), Ryan Bower, Roland Mikkaeil, Emily H. Hsu, Tracee Mock Jan 2024

Acute Pain Management Of Hospitalized Patients On Medication-Assisted Therapies (Mat) For Opioid Use Disorder (Oud), Ryan Bower, Roland Mikkaeil, Emily H. Hsu, Tracee Mock

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Buprenorphine has been an instrumental tool in Medication Assisted Therapies (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD). For hospitalized patients on MAT, the management of acute pain presents a unique challenge to health care providers. A previous study examining buprenorphine discontinuation patterns on medical/surgical floors found that 11.8% of patients had their buprenorphine discontinued due to inadequate analgesia. Furthermore, none of these patients had their buprenorphine restarted prior to discharge. Discontinuation of buprenorphine in hospitalized patients has the potential for wide-reaching implications ranging from risk of withdrawal to relapse secondary to patient loss during the transition from inpatient to outpatient …

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 …


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 …
