Abstract:
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a rapid loss of kidney function occurring over few hours or days. In intensive care unit settings, acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very prevalent condition as most of the patients who are admitted in intensive care units are critically ill. The incidence of acute kidney injury is increasing throughout the world mainly because of aging population and comorbidities which are associated with aging. In intensive care unit settings, the incidence of AKI may reach up to 67%. Though AKI effects depend on clinical situation yet associated with high morbidity and mortality. Objective: To determine the frequency of etiology of acute kidney injury in medical intensive care unit of KRL Hospital. Setting: Medical ICU, KRL Hospital, Islamabad. Duration: six months from 17th May 2017 to 17th November 2017. Study design: Descriptive case series. Material and method: In this study 118 patients were observed. After screening and application of exclusion criteria, a total of 118 patients who were fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected as the study sample and were included in the final analysis regarding prevalence of risk factors associated with AKI. AKI was further classified using acute kidney injury network (AKIN) classification system. Patient age, gender, serum creatinine, etiology and outcome in form of recovery or mortality was recorded on specific proforma. Results: Overall incidence of AKI in ICU settings in this study was 37.8%(n=118) .Out of 118 patients who had AKI, 59.3%(n=70) were male , whereas 40.7% (n=48) were females. Most common risk factor associated with development of AKI was sepsis secondary to infectious illnesses and 39% (n=46) of the patients who developed AKI were suffering from infectious illnesses. Gastrointestinal, drugs and cardiac causes constitutes the 32.2% (n=38), 18.6% (n=22) and 10.2% (n=12) respectively of the AKI in ICU settings. Conclusion: Our study concludes that the frequency of etiology including infectious causes was 39%, cardiac pathology 10%, GI causes 32%, drugs was 19%.

Abstract:
Caring for people with dementia in acute settings is challenging and confounded by multiple comorbidities and difficulties transitioning between community and acute care. Recently, there has been an increase in the development and use of integrated care pathways (ICPs) and care bundles for defined illnesses and medical procedures, and these are now being promoted for use in dementia care in acute settings. We present a review of the literature on ICPs and/or care bundles for dementia care in the acute sector. This includes a literature overview including “gray literature” such as relevant websites, reports, and government publications. Taken together, there is clearly a growing interest in and clinical use of ICPs and care bundles for dementia. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to support the effectiveness of ICPs for dementia care in acute settings and limited evidence for care bundles for dementia in this setting.

Abstract:
Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a rapid loss of kidney function occurring over few hours or days. In intensive care unit settings, acute kidney injury (AKI) is a very prevalent condition as most of the patients who are admitted in intensive care units are critically ill. The incidence of acute kidney injury is increasing throughout the world mainly because of aging population and co morbidities which are associated with aging. In intensive care unit settings, the incidence of AKI may reach up to 67%. Though AKI effects depend on clinical situation yet associated with high morbidity and mortality. The rationale of this study is that, as acute kidney is one of major factors contributing in mortality and morbidity of ICU patients, this study will be helpful in identifying important risk factor for development of acute kidney injury in ICU settings, leading to its early detection and thus decreasing associated morbidity and mortality. Objective: To determine the frequency of etiology and outcome of acute kidney injury in medical intensive care unit of KRL Hospital. Setting: Medical ICU, KRL Hospital, Islamabad. Duration: six months from 17th May 2017 to 17th November 2017. Study design: Descriptive case series. Material and method: In this study 118 patients were observed.

Gastrointestinal, drugs and cardiac causes constitutes the 32.2 % (n=38), 18.6% (n=22) and 10.2% (n=12) respectively of the AKI in ICU settings. In terms of outcome, mortality rate in patients with AKI was significantly higher as compared to patients without AKI(P =<0.001) and 56.8%(n=67) of the patients who had AKI died during their ICU stay as compared to 30.4%(n=59) in patients without AKI. Conclusion: Our study concludes that the frequency of etiology including infectious causes was 39%, cardiac pathology 10%, GI causes 32%, drugs was 19% and mortality was 56.8% in patients with acute kidney injury.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency and types of antibiotics prescribed in the last week of life in three different palliative care settings, including an acute care hospital, tertiary palliative care unit, and three hospice units. A total of 150 consecutive patients were evaluated, 50 in each of the three settings. Twenty-nine patients (58%) in the acute hospital setting, 26 (52%) in the tertiary palliative care unit, and 11(22%) in the hospice settings were prescribed antibiotics. In the acute care and tertiary palliative care settings, the most frequent route of antibiotic administration was intravenous and, in the hospice setting, oral. We conclude that there is marked variability in the numbers and types of antibiotics prescribed in these different palliative care settings in the last week of life. The high use of intravenous antibiotics and the large number of patients who were still receiving antibiotics at the time of death indicate the need for further prospective studies.

Abstract:
Today, the settings in which a speech-language pathologist (SLP) can practice are as varied as the patients served. From the skilled nursing facility to outpatient treatment to acute care, SLPs provide services in more settings than ever before. One setting that is growing in need is the home health setting. The home health setting provides many benefits to an SLP and to the patients receiving services.

Abstract:
The state of New Jersey certifies nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists from all specialties as advanced practice nurses (APNs). There are more than 4,000 certified APNs in the state in 17 specialty areas. APNs in the state have the privilege of practicing in various settings such as ambulatory, inpatient, and long-term care. The state does not limit the setting where an APN chooses to practice. A trend is emerging in the state to address the concern of primary care–educated APNs to prepare them for the delivery of care in the acute care setting. Some institutions within the state of New Jersey are requiring their primary care educated and certified adult primary care APNs working in an inpatient setting to obtain an acute care certification. Recognizing the needs of these adult primary care APNs, Dr. Helen Miley developed a postmaster’s certificate program which has been approved by Rutgers School of Nursing faculty. Although the first cohort has not yet been admitted to the program, it will be implemented in the near future. Because it is important to address the educational needs of adult primary care APNs, this article describes the needs assessment and development plan used for this program.

Abstract:
This paper describes rehabilitation principles and some specialised practice that could usefully inform the provision of acute in-patient care. A low secure rehabilitation setting is described using a method of case formulation to embed an envelope of care around an individual patient within a therapeutic ward milieu. This increases the collaboration and transparency around individual care planning and the capacity for self-reflection within the multi-disciplinary team, in a manner that may be applicable to other in-patient settings.

Abstract:
Background: The use of sensory-based treatment developed in paediatric and neurodevelopment care is a relatively new practice in psychiatric intensive care and acute mental health settings. This report briefly reviews the literature on the use of sensory rooms in psychiatric intensive care units and acute mental health settings, and outlines the development of a sensory room in a female psychiatric intensive care unit.<br/> Method: We provide an account of the process of establishing a sensory room in a psychiatric intensive care unit setting, including considerations, protocol, training and feedback. The literature on sensory room use in psychiatric intensive care and acute mental health settings was reviewed using the PubMed database and Google Scholar for 'grey' literature.<br/> Results: Widespread positive patient and staff perspectives on sensory room use in psychiatric settings were identified in the literature. Some studies have identified links between sensory-based care and reduced rates of restrictive practice. Feedback from patients using the sensory room established in the report revealed themes of patients enjoying and valuing the practice, and highlighted the need for patient-centred choice in its provision.<br/> Conclusions: This report outlines the development of a sensory room in a female psychiatric intensive care unit and briefly reviews the literature on such, considering its efficacy in both patient experience and possible developments in reducing more restrictive practices in care in this clinical setting. It provides a basis for further evaluation and research on sensory room interventions and their effectiveness in improving clinical outcomes.

Objective: To investigate the association between functional status and post-acute care (PAC) transition(s). Methods: Secondary analysis of 2013–2014 Medicare data for individuals aged ≥66 years with stroke, lower extremity joint replacements, and hip/femur fracture discharged to one of three PAC settings (inpatient rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies). Functional scores were co-calibrated into a 0–100 scale across settings. Multilevel logistic regression was used to test the partition of variance (%) and the probability of PAC transition attributed to the functional score in the initial PAC setting. Results: Patients discharged to inpatient rehabilitation facilities with higher function were less likely to use additional PAC. Function level in an inpatient rehabilitation facility explained more of the variance in PAC transitions than function level while in a skilled nursing facility. Discussion: The function level affected PAC transitions more for those discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation facility than to a skilled nursing facility.

Abstract:
Background: Early palliative care can reduce end-of-life acute-care use, but findings are mainly limited to cancer populations receiving hospital interventions. Few studies describe how early versus late palliative care affects end-of-life service utilization. Aim: To investigate the association between early versus late palliative care (hospital/community-based) and acute-care use and other publicly funded services in the 2 weeks before death. Design: Retrospective population-based cohort study using linked administrative healthcare data. Setting/participants: Decedents (cancer, frailty, and organ failure) between 1 April 2010 and 31 December 2012 in Ontario, Canada. Initiation time before death (days): early (⩾60) and late (⩾15 and <60). ‘Acute-care settings’ included acute-hospital admissions with (‘palliative-acute-care’) and without palliative involvement (‘non-palliative-acute-care’). Results: We identified 230,921 decedents. Of them, 27% were early palliative care recipients and 13% were late; 45% of early recipients had a community-based initiation and 74% of late recipients had a hospital-based initiation. Compared to late recipients, fewer early recipients used palliative-acute care (42% vs 65%) with less days (mean days: 9.6 vs 12.0). Late recipients were more likely to use acute-care settings; this was further modified by disease: comparing late to early recipients, cancer decedents were nearly two times more likely to spend >1 week in acute-care settings (odds ratio = 1.84, 95% confidence interval: 1.83–1.85), frailty decedents were three times more likely (odds ratio = 3.04, 95% confidence interval: 3.01–3.07), and organ failure decedents were four times more likely (odds ratio = 4.04, 95% confidence interval: 4.02–4.06). Conclusion: Early palliative care was associated with improved end-of-life outcomes. Late initiations were associated with greater acute-care use, with the largest influence on organ failure and frailty decedents, suggesting potential opportunities for improvement.
