ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Automated pupillometry is becoming widely accepted as an objective measure of pupillary function, especially in neurocritical care units. Normative reference values and thresholds to denote a significant change are necessary for integrating automated into practice. OBJECTIVE Providing point estimates normal ranges data will help clinicians intuit meaning from these that drive clinical interventions. METHODS This study used planned descriptive analysis using multicenter...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Staffing models within nursing units have long been a hot topic of discussion. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this discussion by straining the national environment and workforce. Before pandemic, neuroscience intensive care unit (NSICU) primarily used an acuity-adjusted staffing model aimed for nurse-to-patient ratio 1:1.5. During after NSICU was forced to use centralized because increased turnover in hospital at large rise patient census. METHODS : Unit census data...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Nurse staffing ratios impact both the quality and safety of care on a particular unit. Most hospitals have access to large volume nurse-sensitive outcomes. We hypothesized that these data could be used explore changing nurse-to-patient ratio patient-reported outcomes, nurse satisfaction scores, metrics. METHODS: Retrospective from hospital resources (eg, Press Ganey reports) were linked daily records assignment sheets) in pre-post study. Before September 2017, was 1:1.75...

Retrospective.To understand patients' and spine surgeons' perspectives about decision-making around surgery for adult spinal deformity.Surgery correction of deformity is often beneficial; however, in over 20% older adults (≥ 65 yrs age), outcomes from are less desirable.We conducted semistructured, in-depth interviews with six patients five surgeons. Two investigators independently coded the transcripts using constant comparative method, as well an integrative, team-based approach to...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Clinical registries provide insight on the quality of patient care by providing data to identify associations and patterns in diagnosis, disease, treatment. This has led a push toward using large sets healthcare research. Nurse researchers are developing registries, but most unaware how manage registry. article examines neuroscience nursing registry describe control management process. DATA QUALITY PROCESS: Our contains more than 90 000 rows from almost 5000 patients at...

Introduction. The population of younger people having strokes is growing. Persons who are and have a stroke specific stressors after that those over 60 may not experience (e.g., ability to earn an income, provide for family, returning work, etc.).Aim.
