Filter by:This is a retrospective case-controlled study of the effect of the use of a neuromuscular blockade (NMB) monitor on the consumption of NMB agents in patients under mechanical ventilation in the context of COVID-19. The use of NMB agents during mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) improves respiratory support conditions and reduces mortality. In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, patients with severe forms of the disease hospitalized in intensive care units (ICU) benefit from prolonged mechanical ventilation with frequent use of NMB agents. Large amount of such patient admitted in a short time has led to a shortage of NMB agents, particularly cisatracurium. The use of NMB monitors (for example - Train of Four (TOF)) is a well-established practice in general anesthesia. There is no recommendation for the use of NMB monitor in ICU patients available up to date. However, in the attempt to reduce the consumption of NMB agents a NMB monitoring was used in ICU patients during the COVID-19 pandemic at university hospitals of Hospices Civil de Lyon, with the endorsement of the local College of Anesthetists. The aim of our study is to evaluate if the use of a NMB monitor decreases the consumption of NMB agents in patients under mechanical ventilation in the context of COVID-19.
This study aims to investigate whether the personal characteristics of the endoscopist is associated with effect of interventions for colonoscopy quality improvement. This is a prospective, 9-month, multicenter, single-blind study. Baseline quality indicators including adenoma detection rate, polyp detection rate, withdrawal time and adenomas per colonoscopy of each endoscopist were measured in the health promotion centers of academic hospitals for 3 months. Follow-up measurements of quality indicators were repeated every 3 months after each interventions (personal notification of quality indicators, open notification of quality indicators, and colonoscopy quality education by a GI faculty. At the end of the study, personal characteristics of each endoscopist was evaluated using fear of negative evaluation scale, cognitive flexibility inventory, and almost perfect scale.
Background: Despite current popularity, positive mental health is under researched. This is possibly due to a lack of consensus on appropriate measuresThe Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) is a 14 positively phrased Likert-style list of items developed to measure mental well-being. Its validation has been internationally explored. This report presents the French validation of the WEMWBS (F-WEMWBS) in non-clinical and clinical populations. Methods: Two non-clinical populations comprised of 319 working adults (WORK), and 75 students (STUD), and one clinical population of 121 patients with remitted schizophrenia (PRS) were included in the validation study. Participants completed the F-WEMWBS as well as complementary measures of psychological constructs potentially related to well-being.
