Ontario ICU Clinical Best Practices Demonstration Project

Ventilator Acquired PneumoniaCatheter Related Blood Stream Infections4 more

The pragmatic issue at hand how to get physicians and nurses to use best practices… and how to measure consequences of their implementation. This is the science of "knowledge translation", which we are realizing is an "organic" entity. As part of our Critical Care Strategy our goal is to improve the quality and continuity of critical care within our health care system. Toward this goal we are implementing a program which links 16 Ontario hospitals through their critical care units in a Provincial Network.

Outcome Measures for Pediatric Wheelchairs in Low-resource Settings

Shoulder ImpingementPressure Ulcer

Two wheelchair types available for children in Kenya are assessed for energy costs, utility, and complications. This study will arrive at a protocol for assessing wheelchairs in low-income settings, and in the process, provide wheelchair makers and providers with specific feedback. It also serves as a means to increase the skills of local health professionals working with the children in this study, while providing them with appropriate wheelchairs to use.

Acute Care for Elders (ACE) Program at OHSU Hospital

DeliriumAge-Related Cognitive Decline3 more

The purpose of this investigation is to assess the effectiveness of a multi-disciplinary Acute Care for Elders (ACE) program dedicated to the care of patients age 70 and older admitted to Oregon Health & Science University's hospital medicine service. The ACE program will aim to improve the quality of care of older patients in the investigators hospital by implementing focused interventions and recommendations specific to geriatric needs and syndromes, including: reduced fall rate, decreased incidence and duration of delirium, early recognition and treatment of impaired mobility and function, careful minimization of medication use, prevention of unnecessary catheter and restraint use, decreased hospital readmission rates, improved transitional care following hospital discharge, and high levels of patient and referring physician satisfaction. Additionally, the ACE program aims to improve resident and student competence in treating geriatric syndromes, and to improve staff and learner satisfaction with caring for older adults. ACE programs have been well studied at other institutions, so the investigators will be implementing a program that is already standard of care, and studying the elements that are unique to OHSU. This will be a quality improvement project. Study participants will be a convenience sample of OHSU faculty, staff, residents and students who are employed by or on rotation with General Medicine Team 1 of the Medicine Teaching Service. Faculty, staff, and learners (ACE team members) will receive the ACE training. Study personnel will conduct prospective and retrospective chart review of patients admitted to the ACE service to determine outcomes as noted above.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy in Chronic Wounds Using a Pressure Sore Model

Chronic WoundsPressure Sores2 more

Aim of the study: Evaluation of feasibility, safety and potential effects of stem cells on chronic wounds using a pressure sore model. Clinical relevance: Accelerated healing of uncomplicated wounds Enhanced healing of complicated (chronic, non-healing) wounds Study design: Prospective controlled phase I/II study Cohort of 5 patients in pilot study, then reevaluation Patients: - Para- and tetraplegic patients with sacral pressure sores grade III-IVA according to the classification of Daniel and Seiler Methods: 1. First surgical intervention: Radical debridement of pressure sore Bone marrow harvest from the iliac crest Isolation of hematopoietic stem cells, aiming to gain > 1 mio. CD 34+ cells per patient under GMP conditions 3. Stem cell therapy (after 2 days) Injection of stem cells in suspension (50'000 CD 34+ cells in 100 microliter saline per cm2 of wound surface) on one half of the total wound surface and cell-free saline on the other half as a control 4. Second surgical intervention (after 3-4 weeks): Complete excision of the wound Closure of the defect by fasciocutaneous flap 5. Evaluation of wound healing: Clinical 3D laser imaging Histology Growth factor assay

Examination of the Pressure Ulcers in Intensive Care Patients.

Pressure Ulcerİntensive Care1 more

A pressure sore was localized skin and/or subcutaneous tissue injury, usually caused by pressure alone or a combination of shear and pressure, at bony prominences. Pressure sores, which are an indicator of the quality of health care, increase mortality, morbidity and cost. Pressure ulcers are the most common problem in intensive care patients and should be prevented. In the literature, the incidence of pressure ulcers in intensive care patients is between 1-59.9%. A pressure sore is a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue, usually over a bony prominence or associated with medical or other devices. This injury occurs when intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure is accompanied by shear. Soft tissue tolerance to pressure and shear; temperature and humidity can affect nutrition, perfusion, concomitant conditions, and condition of soft tissue. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of pressure ulcers and influencing factors in patients hospitalized in the 3rd level intensive care unit of a university hospital. Design: It is a descriptive, prospective, observational type study. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 176 patients aged 18 years and above, 24 hours after hospitalization in the intensive care units of a University Hospital. Patient Information Form and Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk, Glasgow Coma Scale were used to collecting data. Statistical Package in statistical analysis for the social sciences 20.0 program was used.
