Postoperative pulmonary complications are the most frequent and significant contributor to morbidity, mortality, costs associated with hospitalization. Interestingly, despite prevalence of these in cardiac surgical patients, recognition, diagnosis, management this problem vary widely. In addition, little information is available on continuum between routine postoperative dysfunction complications. The course events from surgery discharge hospital patients largely unexplored. absence...
Background 'Taste' changes are commonly reported during chemotherapy. It is unclear to what extent this relates actual in taste function or appetite and food liking how these affect dietary intake nutritional status. Patients methods This prospective, repeated measures cohort study recruited participants from three oncology clinics. Women (n = 52) prescribed adjuvant chemotherapy underwent standardised testing of perception, at six time points measure change baseline. Associations between...
The Ross procedure has demonstrated excellent results when performed in patients with aortic stenosis or mixed valve disease [aortic and regurgitation (AR)]. However, due to its reported risk of late reoperation, it is not recommended under current guidelines for presenting bicuspid pure AR. We have analysed our own light this recommendation. Between 1993 2016, 129 consecutive a mean age 34.7 ± 10.6 years (range 16–64 years) presented AR underwent the procedure. Patients were reviewed...
Abstract Aims To highlight the need for development of effective and realistic workforce strategies critical care nurses, in both a steady state pandemic. Background In acute settings, there is an inverse relationship between nurse staffing iatrogenesis, including mortality. Despite this, remains lack consensus on how to determine safe levels. Intensive units (ICU) provide highly specialised complex healthcare treatments. developed countries, mortality rates ICU setting are high...
Abstract Evidence-based practice integrates research into clinical care to enhance patient outcomes, yet gaps persist in translating evidence practice. Learning health systems (LHSs) address these by embedding knowledge generation within healthcare delivery. These use information improve and the value, quality, efficiency of providing services. In this paper, distinctions between quality improvement (QI), assurance, QI LHS are described, importance nurse-led initiatives foster...
Background In the emergency department (ED) a positive patient safety culture exhibits characteristics that include shared understanding of importance safety, constructive communication, mutual trust and ability to recognise learn from adverse events.
There is no ideal valve substitute for young adults requiring aortic replacement. Multicenter data supporting use of the Ross procedure with respect to long-term postoperative valve-related mortality and reintervention, as well function autograft pulmonary homograft, are needed.To determine clinical echocardiographic outcomes in middle-aged patients undergoing procedure.A retrospective multicenter international cohort study a median follow-up period 9.2 years was conducted 5 experienced...

Background This study explored the educational and self-management needs of adults living with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Results is a qualitative AF, clinicians, expert key stakeholders. Interviews were conducted via one-to-one semistructured videoconference or phone transcribed verbatim for thematic analysis. A total 34 participants recruited included in analyses (clinicians n=13; experts n=13, patients n=8). on average 40 (range 20-70) minutes duration. Three themes identified: (1)...
