Filter by:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of in-situ simulation and moulage to improve nursing students' pressure injury classification and assessment skills. A randomized controlled model with a pretest-posttest control group was used in this study. The population of the study consists of a faculty of nursing at a state university. The sample consisted of 84 nursing students. The control group received simulation-based training using a pressure injury simulator on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, the in-laboratory simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, and the in-situ simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the clinic of a university hospital. The research data were collected by Descriptive Characteristics Form, Pressure Injury Knowledge Test, Pressure Injury Assessment Form, Performance Checklist, Students' Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale and Student Feedback Form.
Blunt vascular trauma to the lower extremity has been associated with injuries to the anteroposterior tibial arteries or popliteal artery in the form of transection, occlusion, or intimal injury. With many blunt injuries resulting in orthopedic fractures, the incidence of limb loss increases substantial. Distal vascular injuries combined with complex orthopedic fractures are more likely to result in limb loss. A recent retrospective study showed two main predicative factors resulting in limb loss was a result of multi-segmental bone fractures and prolong ischemic time greater then 10 hours.
This observational study aims to calculate the prevalence of conditions or diseases requiring immediate medical attention in CTC scans with an indication of bleeding post trauma performed in the ED at Odense University Hospital. Secondary, we aim to evaluate the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee clinical guideline 2013 for minor head injury.
The primary objective of this study is to validate controlled methods of wound, including 1%w/v SLS, 3%w/v SLS, and 24-24 times tape stripping, on the forearms of subjects. The study aims to standardize the procedures for creating wounds and systematically evaluate the effects of these methods on various skin parameters.
This study investigates the relationship between intraoperative mechanical power and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. We record mechanical ventilation parameters and surgical characteristics, assessing the incidence of pulmonary complications within 24 hours postoperatively
Comparison of wound complication and scar formation in patient undergone bilateral total knee replacement comparison between polypropylene and polyglactin 910 suture. patient randomised according to SNOS protocol into group A and B for their right and left knee closure with each suture. patient followed on 3rd, 7th, 15th and 30th post operative day for wound healing, wound dehiscence and scar formation.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel, called UNISEPT® ORAL GEL, in promoting oral wound healing, alleviating postoperative symptoms, and enhancing oral hygiene. Study participants will include individuals with any suspicious lesion in their gums or the roof of their mouth. They will undergo a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue for testing (biopsy) in order to confirm the diagnosis.This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a punch, which is a plastic handpiece with a cylindrical cutting blade. Subsequently, the wound heals naturally without the need for sutures. Researchers are comparing this gel with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide gel or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The researchers will not know which one they are providing as the gel tubes will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation) and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (taking a photo the site of the biopsy) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash, named UNISEPT® MOUTHWASH, regarding oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms, xerostomia (dry mouth) and oral hygiene improvement. Study participants have reported dry mouth and are scheduled for a diagnostic biopsy of minor labial salivary glands to investigate Sjögren's Syndrome, following consultation with their rheumatologist. This is a standardized diagnostic procedure that leads to healing by primary intention (i.e. wound edges are closely re-approximated with sutures). Researchers are comparing this mouthwash with a placebo (a look-and-taste-alike substance that contains no active ingredients) to see if it is helpful with healing of wounds in the mouth and associated symptoms, improving dry mouth and/or oral hygiene. Participants randomly get the hydrogen carbamide/peroxide mouthwash or the placebo one to use for 14 days after the biopsy. The investigators will not know which one they are providing as the bottles will be identical. Oral wound healing, postoperative symptoms (such as pain, eating and speech difficulties), oral hygiene (dental plaque and gingival inflammation), improvement of dry mouth and quality of life are assessed during a 14-day period after the biopsy. Participants are required to visit the clinic three times, one for the initial consultation and the biopsy, one at 7 days and one at 14 days after the biopsy. They are asked to fill in some questionnaires, while certain procedures (such as measuring saliva) and assessments (like evaluating the dental plaque and gingival inflammation) take place. During the first week they, also, keep a diary of their symptoms, as instructed.
Critically ill patients often require tracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation, and timely weaning is crucial for airway management and reducing complications. However, there is currently a lack of an effective tool to predict weaning time in critically ill patients. This retrospective study established an effective nomogram model for predicting the time of weaning from mechanical ventilation in abdominal trauma patients by considering multiple perspectives. The model has been validated and demonstrated good performance in terms of discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. Moreover, the model can effectively predict the prognosis of critically ill patients. The findings of this study have important implications for guiding respiratory management in clinically critically ill patients, particularly trauma patients.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of using hydrocolloid tapes in preventing pressure injuries on the nose and columella regions caused by non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in preterm infants.
