An evidence based guideline of pre- and post operative oronasopharyngeal care for cardiac patientsLeung, Mei-ling, 梁美玲 January 2012 (has links)
Background Nosocomial infection is a crucial problem and cause of morbidity and mortality especially in cardiac surgery settings. The risk of acquiring such infection is even higher because cardiac surgery patients require intensive care postoperatively. The phenomenon is evidenced by longer length of hospital stay and increased cost of care. Pneumonia and surgical site infections were ranked among the top three most common hospital acquired infections. The usual practice for mouth care is diluted thymol gargle solution for intubated patients after cardiac surgery in Hong Kong. No local studies examine the effect of oronasopharyngeal care on minimizing such infections. An evidence based guideline in oral and nasopharyngeal nursing care is necessary to implement in hospitals for improving patient surgical outcome.
Objective To develop an evidence based practice guideline for pre- and postoperative oronasopharyngeal care of in-patients undergoing cardiac surgery with implementation planning and discussion on evaluation.
Methods The most recent publications were searched till August 2011. Randomized controlled trials with oropharyngeal and/ or nasopharyngeal care with outcome measures on surgical site infection and/ or nosocomial pneumonia were reviewed. Essential data were extracted with quality assessed methodologically.
Results Six randomized controlled trials comparing oropharyngeal and/ or nasopharyngeal care intervention with usual care were reviewed. The studies mostly included middle-aged male patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The results showed positively of interventions on nosocomial pneumonia and surgical site infection when compared with usual care. In view of quality assessments and statistically significant findings, the proposed change that could improve surgical outcome of patients is to use chlorhexidine gluconate on oronasopharyngeal care in the guideline. It mainly carries out in in-hospital settings both by patients with education from nurses preoperatively, and by nurses postoperatively.
Conclusion Reviewed evidence shown that the oronasopharyngeal care interventions help effectively on minimizing the occurrence of nosocomial pneumonia and surgical site infections for patients undergoing heart surgery. It could be potentially adopted for nurses working in cardiac surgical ward and cardiac intensive care unit. / published_or_final_version / Nursing Studies / Master / Master of Nursing

Outcomes and epidemiology of chronic kidney disease : the first Grampian laboratory outcomes morbidity and mortality study (GLOMMS-I)Marks, Angharad January 2013 (has links)
To identify those with kidney disease early and thus facilitate earlier instigation of disease-progression slowing treatments, new definitions of chronic kidney disease (CKD) were introduced in 2002 (KDOQI). After this, the worldwide introduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting (2006 onwards), also facilitated more widespread identification of those with CKD. Prognosis in those with CKD identified in this way was not known and the numbers with CKD appeared higher than originally expected. This thesis aimed to improve understanding of outcomes in those who met the definition of chronic kidney disease and facilitate better directed care. Data-linkage of several healthcare datasets including to laboratory, morbidity and mortality healthcare data for individuals in the Grampian region with measures of renal function in 2003 allowed those aims to be addressed. Patterns in the testing of kidney function over time were also described. Mortality and RRT initiation during the GLOMMS-I cohort's 6.5 years of follow-up were described, as were variables that were associated with these outcomes. Other measures of decline of kidney function over time (progression), were explored and compared to the ultimate measure of progression - the initiation of RRT. Various models to predict outcomes (RRT initiation, mortality and survival) were explored. Measures of model performance including discrimination, calibration, goodness of model fit and predictive performance were described. Overall the aim of this thesis was met - to improve the understanding of the prognosis of those currently labelled with chronic kidney disease. The work in this thesis has also provided the necessary information to plan and start a much wider population based study of outcome in those both with and without CKD (GLOMMS-II).
