The CIWA evaluation tool is sometimes replaced with the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) and Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) assessment tools when patients reside in the ICU.24 These are well validated tools that evaluate the level of a patient’s agitation versus sedation and presence or absence of

ICU patients are at an increased risk of developing delirium, a significantly underdiagnosed neurologic condition (Gusmao-Flores, Salluh, Chalhub, & Quarantini, 2012). CAM-ICU is effectively incorporated into daily assessments by clinical staff. This process allows for clinicians to appropriately identify and treat delirium before there are adverse

Were there more deaths related to not following the Moderation Sedation policy? No additional deaths were found related to Moderate Sedation because the plan has worked. If additional deaths were found we would evaluate charts of patients who had a procedure done at bedside to see if the Moderate Sedation policy was followed. If not follow up would be needed to see why it was not followed, which would include speaking with the physician and nurse at bedside who performed the procedure.

During patient rounding on the intensive care units (ICU), one of the consistent concerns I hear from patients and families is how difficult it is to sleep in the ICU. Sleep deprivation and fragmentation impairs neurocognitive function and healing (Friese, 2008), (Drouot, Cabello, D’Ortho & Brochard, 2008). The incidence of delirium in the ICU varies from 20% to 80% depending upon the severity of patient illness and the assessment method used (Girard, Pandharipande & Ely, 2008). Delirium often goes unrecognized by ICU providers or is incorrectly attributed as an expected complication of critical illness or dementia (Girard et al., 2008). Delirium is associated with poor short-term outcomes and may result in adverse sequelae years after ICU

In these cases, the different forms of restraint can appear to attain the ultimate objective of seclusion. In a particular study, the cases of seclusions were recorded in several different pediatric psychiatric hospitals and wards to reveal that 94.8% of all seclusions required the use of physical or mechanical restraint to be achieved and that 4.5% of these same seclusions required the use of chemical restraint (Gullick 40). In the cases of these chemical

Each morning patients came in for assessment and the treatment team developed or altered existing treatment protocols. I longed to be part of this team, working to stabilize each patient so they could return home to pursue their goals. The nurses stood out to me as the team members at ground zero in the unit, working directly with patients, and advocating for them in meetings. As a Nurse Practitioner, I will provide this same standard of holistic care to my patients, taking into consideration their biological, social, psychological and cultural needs while developing and implementing treatment decisions.

Too much or too little can carry catastrophic risk. On May 17th 2010 an article detailing a case of anesthesia “awareness” was published on CNN’s website. In these rare cases patients are prepped for surgery and put under the anesthetic, only to awaken during the procedure unable to inform anyone of their situation. Because of the powerful muscle relaxants in their system they unable to move or talk, but they can hear and see. It is not uncommon for people in this situation to suffer cardiac arrest during their operation, as it is massively traumatic.

The guidelines set by the NP’s Core competencies involves educational programs for nurse practitioner and are referred to as essentials behaviors for all NPs (The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner, ([NONPF],2017). As a future NP, this course has echoed the importance to critically examine information given by finding evidence to support and manage care for the individual or the population, which I will apply to my practice. This, in turn, will offer better treatment plan and optimize better patient outcome. Using the differential diagnosis to pinpoint the best possible diagnosis for individuals has helped me to use critical thinking about my patient and to find the appropriate plan of care.

I agree with you Walter. Nursing is a teamwork. In an acute hospital setting, an RN is assigned a set of patient to deliver care that means RN has full responsibility about these patients. In this case, RN who is the primary care nurse can complete her task by herself or delegate some of the task to the nursing assistant according to their scope of practice. The abilities to delegate, and supervise other healthcare workers is not an easy job.

After observing these providers, I became increasingly intrigued by the profession. After a lot of research into this profession and shadowing multiple anesthetists, I knew I had found my calling. During my time at the Children’s Hospital, I learned that the Anesthesiologist Assistant is a skilled medical professional who works as part of the anesthesia care team in the operating room and receives direction from an Anesthesiologist. They have an extensive amount of training in the induction and maintenance of different anesthetics and also advanced monitoring techniques that allow them to keep the patient safe throughout the procedure. They are skilled providers who have training in inserting invasive catheters used for monitoring patient’s vitals, trained in advanced airway and life support techniques, and prepare an anesthetic plan with the licensed Anesthesiologist.

Rapidly changing healthcare policies are greatly affecting perioperative nursing. Being equipped with advanced practice nursing knowledge from didactic courses (i.e. healthcare policies, evidence-based practice [EBP], leadership and management) allows me to be more involved and engaged with policy-related issues and be the voice of our team. The Master’s degree in nursing offers a comprehensive grounding in research methods and critical analysis and allows students to develop advanced skills in clinical inquiry, practice and leadership that are required in perioperative nursing. Furthermore, this degree enables me to synthesize and apply advanced knowledge theories, and research to a perioperative nursing practice. It gives me confidence to

In addition to supporting palliative patients in the OR, anesthesia providers need to be prepared to care for them outside the OR as well – whether in the ICU or PCU. CRNAs may be called upon to administer anesthesia for patients undergoing tracheostomies outside of the OR. Increasing numbers of ALS patients in PCUs are having beside tracheostomies (Chan & Devaiah, 2009). Interventional Radiology. CRNAs may also encounter palliative patients in IR.

Any positive CAM-ICU reports were sent to the physician and the physician and care team were encouraged to discuss delirium during daily rounds (Adams, 2015). If a patient had a positive CAM-ICU, nursing interventions were implemented to minimize the effects of the delirium. Reports show improved adherence to diagnostic tools, decreased usage of benzodiazepines, and increased implementation of nursing
