Abstract Introduction It is unknown whether resources necessary to implement the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines and sepsis bundles are available in Africa. This self-reported, continent-wide survey compared availability of these between African high-income countries, two regions (Sub-Sahara Africa vs . South Africa, Mauritius Northern countries). Methods The study was conducted as an anonymous questionnaire-based, cross-sectional among anaesthesia providers attending a transcontinental...
These standards A are recommended for anesthesia professionals throughout the world.They intended to provide guidance and assistance professionals, their professional societies, hospital facility administrators, governments improving maintaining quality safety of care.They were adopted by World Federation Societies Anaesthesiologists on 13 th June 1992, revisions ratified 5 March 2008 19 2010.For some services, groups, departments these will represent a future goal, while others they may...
Objective To gain an understanding of what challenges pulse oximetry for paediatric pneumonia management poses, how it has changed service provision and would improve this device use across clinical settings in low-income countries. Design Focus group discussions (FGDs), with purposive sampling thematic analysis using a framework approach. Setting Community, front-line outpatient, hospital outpatient inpatient Malawi Bangladesh, which provide care. Participants Healthcare providers (HCPs)...
Background The world health report 2008 emphasizes that putting people at the centre of service delivery is not only about models from a short-term perspective, but rather long-term commitment to care. (1) Given critical shortage workforce, investments in training, retaining and sustaining them are necessary. Sub-Saharan Africa prime example uneven distribution health-care personnel. subcontinent carries 24% global burden disease 11% world's population, has as little 3% workers. (2) concern...
Summary Pulse oximetry is widely accepted as essential monitoring for safe anaesthesia, yet frequently unavailable in resource‐limited settings. The Lifebox pulse oximeter, and associated management training programme, was delivered to 79 non‐physician anaesthetists attending the 2011 Uganda Society of Anaesthesia Annual Conference. Using a standardised assessment, recipients were tested their knowledge use hypoxia before, immediately following 3–5 months after training. Before course,...
There is a significant global burden of preventable morbidity and mortality after surgery caused by avoidable adverse events. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis, despite evidence for its efficacy, not reliably consistently prescribed, currently serious concern patient safety. The aim this study was to prospectively audit errors captured an extended surgical time out checklist relate them the introduction safety culture. use audited, in consecutive patients one operating theatre over...
Of the more than 230 million patients who undergo surgery each year, 7 suffer a disabling complication, and one die (Weiser 2008). These numbers are substantial, through WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, issues surrounding safe at last receiving attention on international stage.
Hypoxemia measured by pulse oximetry predicts child pneumonia mortality in low-resource settings (LRS). Existing pediatric oximeter probes are prohibitively expensive and/or difficult to use, limiting LRS implementation. Using a human-centered design, we developed low-cost, reusable probe for health-care workers (HCWs). Here, report usability testing. Fifty-one HCWs from Malawi, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom participated, seven experts provided reference measurements. Health-care...
