Abstract Introduction Significant physical sequelae exist for some survivors of a critical illness. There are, however, few studies that have examined specific interventions to improve their recovery, and none tested home-based rehabilitation program incorporating trainer visits participants' homes. This study was designed test the effect an individualised eight-week on recovery. Methods A multi-centre randomised controlled trial design used. Adult intensive care patients (length stay at...
Delirium incidence in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is high and associated with poor outcome. Identification of high-risk may facilitate its prevention.To develop validate a model based on data available at ICU admission to predict delirium development during patient's complete stay determine the predictive value this relation time development.Prospective cohort study 13 ICUs from seven countries. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used early prediction (E-PRE-DELIRIC) first...
<h3>Background</h3> The effectiveness of therapy for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is dependent on patients' quick decision to seek treatment. We surveyed level knowledge about heart disease and self-perceived risk a future myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with documented ischemic disease. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients (N = 3522) had mean age 67 years, 68% were male, all history AMI or invasive cardiac procedure Data gathered using 26-item instrument focusing ACS symptoms appropriate...
ABSTRACT Background: Variability in clinical practice may result from the use of diverse information sources to guide decisions. In routine practice, nurses privilege colleagues over more formal sources. It is not clear whether similar information‐seeking behaviour exhibited when critical care make decisions about a specific where extensive variability exists alongside developing research base. Purpose: This study explored preferred intensive used and their perceptions accessibility...
Internationally, one in three children develop delirium during their intensive care stay. International guidelines strongly recommend twice-daily screening for paediatric using validated instruments. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, was assessed only when suspected few units (ICUs) used This initiative aimed to implement a national strategy 28 (PICUs) across Ireland. The involved: (a) rapidly reviewing, evaluating ranking instruments sensitivity, specificity, appropriateness acceptability...

DESIGN: Retrospective secondary analysis data from Queensland Trauma Registry (QTR) using all patients older admitted 2003 through 2006. SETTING: Data 15 regional tertiary hospitals throughout Queensland, Australia. PARTICIPANTS: Six thousand...
This study was designed to examine the decision making processes that nurses use when assessing and managing sedation for a critically ill patient, specifically attributes concepts used determine needs influence of guideline on processes.Sedation management forms an integral component care critical patients. Despite this, there is little understanding how make decisions regarding assessment intensive patients' requirements. Appropriate nursing therapy essential quality patient...
