Filter by:The goal of this explorative observational study is to map the procedure and child centered approach in the examination for children that undergo conventional X-ray examinations. The main questions aim to answer: - How many images need to be retaken during conventional X-ray examinations? - What is the reason why the pictures need to be redone? - What is the time required for the various examinations? - What experience of the procedure of the examination is there among those involved? - Can the physical impact be observed through variation in heart rate in children that undergo conventional X-ray examinations? Participants will answer questionnaires about the children's participation in the procedure and the variation in heart rate will be measured on the children who undergo the examinations.
Aim: This study aims to assess how feasible and acceptable it is to deliver facilitated team meetings, designed to support mental health teams to listen and learn from patient feedback and how helpful and feasible the evaluation methods are. There is evidence that patients within inpatient mental health services find it difficult to share care experiences and those working in such services find it challenging to listen and act on care experience data. There is also evidence that staff burnout is higher among mental health nurses than it is in other parts of the health service. Intervention: A team, made up of nurses, doctors, Allied Health Professionals and health care support workers working in an inpatient mental health services will engage in a 6 stage, facilitated intervention. This includes developing a more effective team culture by: getting ready for engaging with patient feedback; establishing values and vision for care experience and team work; discussing issues associated with trying to provide positive care experiences; analysis of care experiences; making change happen; reflection, evaluation and celebrating success. Evaluation: Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed by considering views of participants and the facilitator on the intervention and ability for it to be delivered as planned. We will also consider facilitator; researcher and participants' views on the appropriateness of the evaluation methods and assess if we can achieve 50% staff response rates to a survey-person-centred practice index(PCPI). We will assess if the following methods help evaluate impact: care experiences using data from Care Opinion; complaints and feedback cards; improvement efforts made by the team in response to feedback; PCPI scores to assess changes in team culture and lastly, observations made during team meetings to assess change in team culture over time and staff survey about attitudes and beliefs about patient feedback.
The study is a prospective, single-arm observational multicenter clinical investigation. The primary objective is to confirm the safety and performance of the Optivantage® Injection System when injecting contrast media to subjects requiring contrast-enhanced CT imaging, in multi-patient use.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Smoking is considered as an important risk factor, but other risk factors are present. Around 30 % of patients with COPD are non-smokers. Cessation of smoking in patients with COPD causes decreases the presence of micronodules and other criteria of CT chest. In last few years, some researchers reported that cessation of smoking raise the apparent extent of emphysema. The cause is not obvious, but this paradoxical fall in lung density is thaught to be resulting from decrease in inflammation after smoking cessation. CT chest criteria of COPD in active smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers seem to be different. So, comparison between CT chest Criteria of COPD in smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers will be searched in this study to detect the role of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) chest in differentiation between COPD patients according to their smoking status.
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oral fixed-dose combination of bisoprolol/perindopril in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation
