Filter by:Pleural diseases are among the most common clinical problems encountered in healthcare settings in Malaysia and even worldwide. Most patients presented in a hospital setting with pleural diseases will need pleural aspirations or thoracentesis and chest drains for a variety of reasons. Healthcare providers will often be exposed to patients requiring pleural drainage hence it is important to be aware of safe techniques and procedures of insertion and also maintaining the pleural drainage systems to yield beneficial results. Most often, smaller catheters were deemed to be less effective in view of slower drainage rates and associated with high risk of blockage. However presently , in tertiary hospital settings small bore intercostal chest catheters (SBICC) have become an alternative to large bore intercostal catheters (LBICC). SBICC has been found to be equally effective, less painful and easily tolerated by patients. Hence, proper maintenance of SBICC should be undertaken to reduce rates of occlusion and to yield most benefits from the pleural aspirations procedures. British Thoracic Society in their latest guidelines recommends the use of small bore intercostal chest drain as the first choice in draining pleural effusions. The success of draining pleural effusions with a SBICC has shown variable rates of success among different studies conducted. Most common issues faced are drain blockage and drain dislodgement. There is limited data comparing the use of normal saline flushing versus fibrinolytic drug lock in maintaining patency of small bore intercostal chest drains in draining pleural effusions. This has lead us in conducting this research to compare the rates of partial or complete occlusions among normal saline flush with and without heparin saline lock in maintaining the patency of small bore intercostal chest catheter among patients with pleural diseases in Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz, UKM requiring chest drains insertion.
The investigators plan to adopt a thorough flushing strategy when withdrawing the endoscope, and have zero tolerance for the liquid and foam in the intestinal lumen. Observe and compare the impact of this strategy with traditional limited degree suction methods on the results of colonoscopy. The research group and the control group respectively adopted a thorough flushing strategy and a limited flushing strategy, and compared the total time of colonoscopy examination, the time of withdrawal, the detection rate of polyps, the detection rate of small polyps, and the amount of flushing fluid between the two groups. Analyze the value of thorough flushing strategy for the efficiency and quality of colonoscopy examination.
This study evaluates the effect of two flushing agents (epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)) during full pulpotomy using two different calcium silicate-based materials (MTA and premixed bioceramic putty) on postoperative pain, success rate and dentin bridge thickness in mature permanent mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis. Participants will be divided into four groups based on the flushing fluid and the pulp capping material to be used.
This study is to compare the BD PosiFlushâ„¢ Pre-filled Flush Syringes (manufactured by BD, USA) and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the pre-filled flush syringes (manufactured by Suzhou Becton Dickinson Medical Devices Co., Ltd.) for locking and flushing the end of catheter line in Chinese popluation.
Purpose: An evidence implementation of a randomized controlled trial for whether there is the difference in intermittent flushing 0.9% normal saline and heparin? Design: a single-blind randomized controlled trial Method: This study is based on the 5A (Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply, Audit) of evidence health care step, and design randomized controlled trial for evidence implementation. We will include inpatients over 20 years-old adults in New Taipei City TuCheng Hospital, Taiwan, who need administration medicine by port-a-catcher. The sample size is 192 according to G-power software. Random allocation software has using for block randomization, would assign to group A: flushing with 0.9% normal saline 10ml, group B: flushing with 0.9% normal saline 20ml, and group C: flushing with heparin 100 USP/ml. SPSS 20.0 software for statistical analysis, mean or standard deviation, one- way ANOVA would use.
The aim of this study is to determine whether direct tubal flushing with oil-based contrast at HSG incorporated in the fertility work-up results in 10% more ongoing pregnancies and a shorter time to pregnancy, which will therefore be effective and cost-effective compared to delayed tubal flushing 6 months after fertility work-up is completed in women at low risk for tubal pathology.
Researchers will investigate the effect of flushing according to follicle size on the success of obtaining oocytes from a single follicle. In addition, by comparing the morphological quality of embryos developed from oocytes obtained with and without flushing, the possible effects of flushing on developing embryo quality will be investigated. By evaluating only one follicle for each patient, it is planned to investigate the effectiveness of the flushing process according to individual follicle characteristics, with a study design that has not yet been included in the literature.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the addition of follicular flushing to the initial aspiration during oocyte retrieval increases the number of oocytes retrieved in women undergoing ovarian stimulation.
Implanted port devices (IPD) play an essential role in the safe administration of cancer treatments by providing a device to safely administer caustic chemotherapy agents. The current recommended frequency of flushing the IPD per manufacturers guidelines is every 4-6 weeks. The purpose of this study is to find out if extending IPD flushes to every 12 weeks is safe and if it is just as effective as every 4 week flushing.
Background: Standard practice of flushing saline over the patient's secretions following suctioning is similar to pouring water over grease, leading to motivating bacterial colonization and proliferation inside the suctioning circuit (i.e., catheter, tube, and collecting jar), which can then migrate to patient's lung during suctioning procedure causing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Therefore, flushing this circuit using an appropriate disinfectant to prevent bacterial colonization inside it and thus decreasing pneumonia occurrence has been our crucial investigation idea. Aim: To investigate the effect of suction system flushing with chlorhexidine (CHX) on the occurrence of VAP among mechanically ventilated patients (MVPs). Design: This study adopted a quasi-experimental research design, and a convenience sampling technique was used to recruit 136 patients to conduct this study. Setting: This study was conducted at surgical intensive care units of Mansoura University Emergency Hospital, Egypt. Results: The intervention group patients had a lower incidence of VAP (by 48.12%) compared with the control group. Moreover, the proposed technique was more effective in decreasing the incidence of late-VAP more than early-VAP. Furthermore, CHX reduced the cost of suction system flushing by 75%. Conclusion: Suction system flushing with CHX can significantly reduce the occurrence of VAP among MVPs and reduce the flushing cost. Therefore, this study recommends incorporating CHX into the daily care of MVPs.
