Teamwork and patient safety in dynamic domains of healthcare: a review of the literature Tập 53 Số 2 - Trang 143-151 - 2009
Tanja Manser
Aims/Background: This review examines current research on teamwork in highly
dynamic domains of healthcare such as operating rooms, intensive care, emergency
medicine, or trauma and resuscitation teams with a focus on aspects relevant to
the quality and safety of patient care.Results: Evidence from three main areas
of research supports the relationship between teamwork and patient safety: (1)

Postoperative cognitive function (POCD) has been subject to extensive research.
In the literature, large differences are apparent in methodology such as the
test batteries, the interval between sessions, the endpoints to be analysed,
statistical methods, and how neuropsychological deficits are defined.
Traditionally, intelligence tests or tests developed for clinical
neuropsychology have been used... hiện toàn bộ
Cognitive dysfunction after minor surgery in the elderly Tập 47 Số 10 - Trang 1204-1210 - 2003
Jaume Canet, Johan Ræder, Lars S. Rasmussen, Mats Enlund, H. M. Kuipers, C.D. Hanning, J. Jolles, K. Korttila, Volkert Siersma, Catherine Dodds, Hanne Abildstrøm, J. Robert Sneyd, P. Vila, L. Muñoz Corsini, J. H. Silverstein, Nielsen Ik, Jes Fabricius Møller
Background: Major surgery is frequently associated with postoperative cognitive
dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients. Type of surgery and hospitalization may
be important prognostic factors. The aims of the study were to find the
incidence and risk factors for POCD in elderly patients undergoing minor
surgery.Methods: We enrolled 372 patients aged greater than 60 years scheduled
for minor surg... hiện toàn bộ
Haemodynamic effects of pneumoperitoneum and the influence of posture during anaesthesia for laparoscopic surgery Tập 38 Số 3 - Trang 276-283 - 1994
S. Odeberg, Olle Ljungqvist, T. Svenberg, P. Gannedahl, Martin Bäckdahl, A. von Rosen, Alf Sollevi
The laparoscopic operating technique is being applied increasingly to a variety
of intra‐abdominal operations. Intra–abdominal gas insufflation, i.e.
pneumoperitoneum (PP), is then used to allow surgical access. The haemodynamic
effects of PP in combination with different body positions have not been fully
examined. Eleven patients without signs of cardiopulmonary disease were studied
before and d... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of gabapentin on postoperative morphine consumption and pain after abdominal hysterectomy: A randomized, double‐blind trial Tập 48 Số 3 - Trang 322-327 - 2004
G. Dierking, Tina Hoff Duedahl, Mette Rasmussen, Jonna Storm Fomsgaard, Steen Møiniche, Janne Rømsing, J. B. Dahl
Background: Preliminary clinical studies have suggested that gabapentin may
produce analgesia and reduce the need for opioids in postoperative patients. The
aim of the present study was to investigate the opioid‐sparing and analgesic
effects of gabapentin administered during the first 24 h after abdominal
hysterectomy.Methods: In a randomized, double‐blind study, 80 patients received
oral gabape... hiện toàn bộ
Postdural puncture headache (PDPH): Onset, duration, severity, and associated symptoms: An analysis of 75 consecutive patients with PDPH Tập 39 Số 5 - Trang 605-612 - 1995
H Lybecker, M Djernes, J. F. Schmidt
Among 873 consecutive patients who had undergone a total of 1021 spinal
anaesthesias involving puncture of the lumbar dura, 75 (7.35%) complained of
Postdural Puncture headache. (PDPH). The severity of each patient's PDPH was
categorized, on a scale from mild to severe, on the basis of the onset,
duration, severity of the heActa ches, and the degree to which they were
accompained by auditory and v... hiện toàn bộ
Differential Effects of Epidural Morphine in the Treatment of Cancer‐related Pain Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang 32-36 - 1985
Staffan Arnér, B Arner
Fifty‐five patients with pain associated with cancer were selected for long‐term
treatment with epidural morphine. Patients who had more than one type of pain
within the same region were specially analysed concerning differential analgesic
effects of the treatment, i. e. the patients served as their own control.
Twenty‐eight of the 55 patients became pain free. In 21 patients alleviation of
pain w... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of postoperative nausea using a visual analogue scale Tập 44 Số 4 - Trang 470-474 - 2000
Jean G. Boogaerts, E. Vanacker, Laurence Seidel, Adelin Albert, Françoise Bardiau
Background: Assessment of postoperative nausea intensity is difficult because
nausea is a subjective and unpleasant sensation. We propose using the Visual
Analogue Scale (VAS) device to increase the efficiency and precision in the
assessment of nausea. We carried out a pilot study on postoperative patients
suffering from nausea to measure the degree of agreement between the VAS scores
and those gi... hiện toàn bộ
