An emergent qualitative design provided the scaffolding for the micro-analysis of video footage and subsequent video-cued discussion with four reviewers. The collated material was used to prepare thick descriptions which were annotated for infant and therapist behaviours. A further thematic analysis of these behaviours provided 14 sets of behaviours used by the medically fragile newborn infants to indicate availability for interplay and 20 sets of behaviours used by the therapist in response to the infant. The interaction of these categorised behaviours provided seven markers of interplay between the music therapist and the medically fragile newborn infant.

Class of 2005 Abstract / Objectives: The purpose was to describe the glycemic control of hospitalized patients treated with sliding scale insulin (SSI) and correlate glycemic episodes to other factors. Methods: The records of 315 patients admitted to a private, 166-bed hospital between August 25 and November 30, 2004 were identified from orders for antidiabetic medications then screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. 135 of these patients met the criteria for inclusion in this study and their charts were reviewed for demographic data, medical history, medication regimens, blood glucose measurements and SSI use during hospitalization. Hypoglycemia was defined as less than or equal to 50 mg/dL and hyperglycemia greater than 250 mg/dL. Results: Orders for SSI were written for 93% of diabetic patients admitted. 2,904 blood glucose fingerstick measurements were recorded: 15.9% were greater than 250 mg/dL and 0.689% were under 50 mg/dL. The only statistically significant result was the correlation between increased numbers of hyperglycemic episodes and the consumption of the hospital’s “diabetic diet,” p<0.001. The small group of patients admitted for cellulitis (N=6) also experienced more hyperglycemic episodes. There was a trend approaching significance, p=0.055, for an increased number of hyperglycemic episodes in patients with admission blood glucose value over 200 mg/dL. Results based upon the hospital’s standard SSI regimen were not significantly different from other variations of SSI. Implications: SSI was almost always prescribed for hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes and this regimen resulted in poor glucose control in approximately 17% of fingerstick measurements.
