Utility Of Push Dose Vasopressor In The Emergency Department, Paul Nguyen, Daniel Giddings, Scott Dietrich, Kathryn Merkel
Utility Of Push Dose Vasopressor In The Emergency Department, Paul Nguyen, Daniel Giddings, Scott Dietrich, Kathryn Merkel
Emergency Medicine
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate push dose vasopressor (PDV) usage patterns, efficacy, and safety in a single community hospital emergency department when used for rapid sequence intubation (RSI). Pre-intubation hypotension is a positive correlator to incidences of cardiac arrest. Precautions should be in place to prevent and treat hypotension during emergent intubation. The emerging strategy of utilizing PDV in emergency department (ED) patients is an underexplored and potentially efficacious option.
Methods: This study will be submitted to the Institutional Review Board for approval. This retrospective evaluation will identify critically ill patients receiving phenylephrine or epinephrine PDV …
Impact Of Required Antibiotic Stop Dates And Indications On Length Of Treatment In Hospitalized Patients With Pneumonia, Amanda Haddad, Kathryn Hernando, Kayihura Manigaba, Abigail Antigua
Impact Of Required Antibiotic Stop Dates And Indications On Length Of Treatment In Hospitalized Patients With Pneumonia, Amanda Haddad, Kathryn Hernando, Kayihura Manigaba, Abigail Antigua
Infectious Disease
Purpose: The CDC Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs recommends implementing policies to support optimal antibiotic prescribing including documentation of dose, duration and indication. On January 31, 2017, the study institution implemented new physician order entry screens in the electronic health record requiring the input of indication and duration on all antibiotic orders. The objective of this study is to determine if implementation of mandatory indication and duration for antibiotic orders decreases antibiotic duration of therapy in hospitalized patients with pneumonia.
Methods: This study was submitted to the Institutional Review Committee for approval. The clinical pharmacy surveillance platform, …

Implementation Of Trauma Service Guideline For The Use Of Phenobarbital In The Management Of The Non-Icu Trauma Patient At Risk Or Experiencing Severe Alcohol Withdrawal, Joseph Rappold, Julianne Ontengco, Stephen Tyzik, Suneela Nayak, Ruth Hanselman, Amy Sparks
Operational Transformation
The trauma service in a large academic tertiary medical center admits a large proportion of patients with the secondary diagnosis of alcohol use disorder. Given the successful use of phenobarbital in the critical care unit for withdrawal prophylaxis and treatment of acute withdrawal, a quality improvement project was established to create and implement guidelines for the non ICU patient.
A root cause analysis demonstrated several issues to include inconsistent clinical decision documentation. As a result, several countermeasures were initiated to address the various issues.
Post implementation of countermeasures, a decrease in the amount of severe alcohol withdrawal as well as …
Evidence-Based Toolkit For Reduction Of Overdose Risk In Primary Care Patients On Opioid Therapy, Katelin A. Aris
Evidence-Based Toolkit For Reduction Of Overdose Risk In Primary Care Patients On Opioid Therapy, Katelin A. Aris
Doctoral Projects
Introduction: Opioids are powerful pain killing medications that can be highly addictive and can cause risk for overdose and even death (Michigan Prescription Drug and Opioid Task Force, 2015). Many primary care providers treat patients with acute and chronic pain, although it is recognized that many receive inadequate training in pain management and feel unprepared in the complexities of caring for these patients (Becker, Bair, Picchioni, Starrels, and Frank, 2018). To treat these patients safely, provider education and adherence to guidelines put forward by these initiatives is essential.
Methods: An evidence-based prescribing toolkit was devised using guidance from the literature …
