Delirium occurs frequently in critically ill patients and is associated with disease severity infection. Although several pathways for delirium have been described, biomarkers intensive care unit (ICU) not well studied. We examined plasma delirious nondelirious the role of these on long-term cognitive function.In an exploratory observational study, we included 100 ICU or without ("inflamed") ("noninflamed") infection/systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). was diagnosed by using...
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...
The effectiveness of community-based geriatric intervention models for vulnerable older adults is controversial. We evaluated a problem-based multidisciplinary targeting at home that promised efficacy through better timing and increased commitment patients primary care physicians. This study compared the effects this new model to usual care.Primary physicians referred people problems with cognition, nutrition, behavior, mood, or mobility. One hundred fifty-one participants (mean age 82.2...
PURPOSE. To evaluate the impact of quality nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes in an acute care hospital following implementation educational program. METHOD. In a pretest–posttest experimental design study, nurses from 12 wards Swiss received intervention—an introductory class consecutive classes, using case discussion method—to implement outcomes. Two sets 36 randomly selected records were evaluated before after implementation. The documented nursing‐sensitive patient was...
Delirium is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We implemented a delirium prevention policy in intensive care unit (ICU) patients high risk of developing delirium, evaluated if our resulted quality improvement relevant outcome measures.This study was before/after evaluation project using prophylactic treatment haloperidol. Patients predicted for ≥ 50%, or history alcohol abuse dementia, were identified. According to the protocol these received haloperidol 1 mg/8 h. Evaluation...
The number of chronically ill patients increases every year. This is partly due to an unhealthy lifestyle. However, the frequency and quality (evidence-based) health promotion activities conducted by Dutch general practitioners (GPs) practice nurses (PNs) are limited. aim this pilot study was explore which lifestyle interventions GPs PNs carry out in primary care, barriers facilitators can be identified what main topics with respect attitudes towards promoting activities. These topic areas...
