Abstract:
Skin burns are accepted to be a complication of defibrillation, however there is no published data on their frequency, cause and treatment. A postal questionnaire survey was designed to assess the relative frequency of defibrillation burns in coronary care units and identify the possible factors contributing to their occurrence. Treatments prescribed in coronary care units were also noted. The questionnaire was sent to the Senior Sister/Charge Nurse in all 263 coronary care units in the United Kingdom. 232 Replies were received (88.2%). Defibrillation burns were seen in 98.7% of CCU's. Ten contributory factors were proposed. The commonest implicated cause was recurrent defibrillation. The most frequently prescribed topical treatment was 1% silver sulphadiazine cream (Flamazine). Defibrillation burns are relatively common in coronary care units. Many result from recurrent defibrillation and may be unavoidable in the patient undergoing prolonged resuscitation. However there are other identifiable factors which, if avoided, may lead to a reduction in the number of burns seen.

Abstract:
Background. A survival prediction model based on deep learning has higher accuracy than the CPH model in predicting the survival of CCU patients, and it also has a better discrimination ability. We collected information on patients with various diseases in coronary care units (CCUs) from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. The purpose of this study was to use this information to construct a neural-network model based on deep learning to predict the survival probabilities of patients with conditions that are common in CCUs. Method. We collected information on patients in the United States with five common diseases in CCUs from 2001 to 2012. We randomly divided the patients into a training cohort and a testing cohort at a ratio of 7 : 3 and applied a survival prediction method based on deep learning to predict their survival probability. We compared our model with the Cox proportional-hazards regression (CPH) model and used the concordance indexes (C-indexes), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and calibration plots to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. Results. The 3,388 CCU patients included in the study were randomly divided into 2,371 in the training cohort and 1,017 in the testing cohort. The stepwise regression results showed that the important factors affecting patient survival were the type of disease, age, race, anion gap, glucose, neutrophils, white blood cells, potassium, creatine kinase, and blood urea nitrogen ( P < 0.05 ). We used the training cohort to construct a deep-learning model, for which the C-index was 0.833, or about 5% higher than that for the CPH model (0.786). The C-index of the deep-learning model for the test cohort was 0.822, which was also higher than that for the CPH model (0.782). The areas under the ROC curve for the 28-day, 90-day, and 1-year survival probabilities were 0.875, 0.865, and 0.874, respectively, in the deep-learning model, respectively, and 0.830, 0.843, and 0.806 in the CPH model. These values indicate that the survival analysis model based on deep learning is better than the traditional CPH model in predicting the survival of CCU patients. Conclusion. A survival prediction model based on deep learning has higher accuracy than the CPH model in predicting the survival of CCU patients, and it also has a better discrimination ability.

Abstract:
AbstractThe University of Victoria has the only program in Canada offering a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Information Science. To meet the requirements of the degree, students must complete 60 units of course work (normally 40 courses) and 4 CO-OP work terms over 4.3 years. The School admits approximately 30 students each year. Seventy-five percent of the students come from British Columbia, ranging in age from 18 to 50 years with the average age being 26 years. In addition to recent high school graduates, over 40% have previous degrees or diplomas, and 65% have over 5 years of work experience. The School’s teaching team consists of 4 full-time faculty, 2 professional staff, 2 clerical staff, 7 adjunct faculty and a variable number of sessional teaching staff. The majority of the faculty have health backgrounds, totalling 150 person-years of health care experience. As of November 1995, the School had 168 graduates 75% of whom are employed in British Columbia, 17% in other parts of Canada and 8% outside the country. Sixty-five percent of the graduates work in government departments including community health agencies; 10% work in hospitals, 20% work for management consulting firms, software houses, or computer hardware firms, and 5% are otherwise employed. Almost 100% of the graduates are gainfully employed in professional positions in which their health information science degree is valued. They work as systems analysts, system designers/developers, consultants, research assistants, health-care planners, information system-support staff/trainers and client-account representatives. Some are already in senior management positions.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Although effective for assessing ongoing myocardial ischemia, ST-segment monitoring may be underused. OBJECTIVES: To determine the proportion of cardiac units in the United States that use ST-segment monitoring, hospital and unit characteristics associated with its use, how units use such monitoring with respect to research recommendations, if units that use ST-segment monitoring find it clinically useful and easy to use, and why some units are not using this type of monitoring. METHODS: A survey on ST-segment monitoring was mailed to a random sample of 500 cardiac nurse managers and clinical nurse specialists. RESULTS: Of the final 192 respondents, 104 (54.2%) reported that they were using ST-segment monitoring. Monitor brand was the only characteristic associated with use of this monitoring (P = .03). On units that used ST-segment monitoring, patients were monitored if they had myocardial infarction (81%), unstable angina (79.6%), or possible myocardial infarction (78.6%) and after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (47.6%). Leads were chosen according to unit protocol (60.2%) and 12-lead electrocardiographic findings (48.5%); leads II (95.0%) and V1 (75.2%) were used most often. The majority of units that use ST-segment monitoring agreed that it is clinically useful (83%) and easy to use (56%). Among the units not using ST-segment monitoring, the most common reason was that physicians were not interested (27.1%). CONCLUSIONS: ST-segment monitoring is not routinely used; when it is, research recommendations are often not followed. Increased awareness is needed among cardiac nurses and physicians of the clinical usefulness and proper use of ST-segment monitoring.

Abstract:
In the current era, cardiovascular intensive care units care for more complex patients who are far sicker than historical post-myocardial infarction patients, and sedation has become a common intervention in these units. Current sedation best practices derive mainly from non-cardiac units which limits their generalization to the critically ill cardiac patient. Thus, a great variability in sedation protocols, especially the selection of sedative agents, is commonly seen in daily practice across cardiac units. We present an updated review on sedation in cardiovascular critical care medicine with emphasis on the hemodynamic impact. The goal of this review is to generate a general sedation algorithm specific for the cardiac patient.

Abstract:
The use of integrated care pathways (ICPs) to enhance quality and consistency of patient care has increased in the last decade. In two closely related studies, we first assessed the benefit of a new ICP for acute coronary syndrome in our district hospital, and secondly assessed the impact of ICPs in UK coronary care units, correlating with data from the Myocardial Infarction National Audit Programme, MINAP. The new local ICP produced statistically improved admission medication, with the chance of correctly prescribing aspirin increasing by 63% ( P < 0.002), and borderline increase for clopidogrel of 28% ( P > 0.10), and enoxaparin of 21% ( P > 0.06), in a completed audit cycle study totalling 100 patients. A national telephone survey showed that of 210 UK coronary care units, only 40% had an ICP in place, and this made no difference to either door-to-needle time for thrombolysis or to rates of discharge medication with aspirin, beta-blockers or statins. While these results fail to raise enthusiasm for implementing an ICP, other potential benefits of their use may be important such as optimizing data collection, improving consistency of care and unifying the different clinical teams in planning the care of the patient.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of programmed family presence in intensive care units on patients’ and families’ anxiety. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study conducted in Iran. The eligible patients and a member of their families were assigned into two groups (N = 80) through convenience sampling. The family members in the experimental group were allowed to attend twice a day for 15 minutes in a planned way beside the patient and contribute to their clinical primary care. In the control group, the family members had a strict limitation to visit their patients based on the usual policy. Anxiety in both groups at the beginning and on the third day of patient’s admission was measured, using Spielberger’s questionnaire. The data were analyzed with SPSS version13. Results: The mean score of anxiety in the control group did not show significant difference in patients and in families, however it had decreased significantly in the experimental group after the intervention for both patients and families. The results showed that mean differences between the two groups was statistically significant in patients and families. Conclusion: The planned presence of the family of patients in coronary care unit (CCU) played a crucial role in reducing the anxiety of patients and their family. Furthermore, it is recommended that strategies of visiting policy in intensive care units (ICUs) should be revised and the possibility be provided for the families’ planned presence and participation in the patient care.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between cardiac performance (as measured by heart rate and ectopy) and unrestricted vs restricted visiting hours in the coronary care unit. DESIGN: Patients were from two coronary care units. Group A had unrestricted visiting hours, and group B had restricted visiting hours. Heart rate and ectopy were measured three times both in patients with unrestricted visiting hours and in those with restricted visiting hours: (1) before visitors arrived, (2) 5 minutes after visitors arrived and (3) 1 to 5 minutes after the visitors left. A total of 25 visits were analyzed. FINDINGS: There were no significant differences in rates of premature ventricular contractions and premature atrial contractions between the two groups. Patients with unrestricted visiting hours had a significantly lower heart rate after visits than patients with restricted visits. CONCLUSION: Consideration should be given to development of unrestricted visiting policies that promote the continuing presence and natural support of the family and significant others for patients in coronary care units.
