Healthcare Nursing<\/p>\n\n\n\n Name of the patient: Mrs. Linde<\/p>\n\n\n\n Age: 76 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gender: Female<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical Scenario<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mrs. Linde was a patient who was admitted to a\nsurgical unit at Ocala Regional Medical Center where I worked as a nurse. While\nattending to her, I realized that she as well as most of the patients in my\nsurgical unit developed a high level of acuity that could easily result into\nsevere cardiac arrest and sudden death. Mrs. Linde was therefore transferred to\nthe Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following her critical condition. I decided to\ntalk to my Nurse Manager about rapid response team and how it can be helpful in\nreducing increasing cases of the contraction of cardiac arrest by the\nin-patients and unexpected admissions to the ICU. I believed this could be of\ngreat help to the hospital. Researchable and answerable is a significant step\nin the Evidence Based Practice (Fineout-Overholt and Johnston, 2005).\nTherefore, my manger suggested that I conduct more research to find solid\nevidence on the contribution of rapid response team in healthcare system. This\nprompted me to formulate a clinical question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I used PICOT (Patient\u2019s population, issue of\nInterest, Comparison, Outcome and Time) format to formulate a research\nquestion. My PICOT question was derived from the prevailing aspects of the\nclinical issue at my surgical unit. These aspects include the increased level\nof acuity among the hospitalized patients in the surgical unit, increased\nnumber of in-patients contracting cardiac arrest, unexpected admissions into\nthe ICU, and the intervention by the rapid response team. Since there was no\nteam to provide rapid response to such patients and the hospital was not planning\nto address the issue of patient\u2019s acuity prior to the impending crisis, element\nof the comparison (C component) in the PICOT was lack of rapid response\nteam. The outcomes or the results in the question were constant admission\ninto the ICU and in-patients contracting cardiac arrest. Other possible\noutcomes included prolonged hospitalization and deaths. My proposed picot\nquestion therefore was; \u201cAmong the adult in-patients in the surgical\nunit, how does the presence of a rapid response team compared with the absence\nof rapid response team influence the cases of cardiac arrests among the\nhospitalized patients and the unexpected admissions to the intensive care unit\nfor patients hospitalized for three months?<\/em> In this question, the\ncomponents of PICOT include<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 \nPatient Population (P) – the adult in-patients<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 \nIssue of Interest (I) – the presence of a rapid response team<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 \nComparison(C) – the absence of rapid response team<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 \nOutcome (O) – influence the cases of cardiac arrests among the hospitalized\npatients and the unexpected admissions to the intensive care unit for patients<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00b7 \nTime (T) – hospitalized for three months<\/p>\n\n\n\n Literature Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \nAccording to Stillwell et al. Evidence-Based Practice involves solving a\nproblem in the health care delivery system by integrating the available\nevidences from the data of the patients and studies with the expertise of\nmedical practitioners and values. From the above scenario, it is clear that\nvarious aspects affect personal experiences of patients throughout their stay\nin the hospital. Additionally, social aspects may influence and surpass\ncurative variables without necessarily involving antiretroviral measures.\nHowever, Melnyk et al. 2009 suggests that it is important for nurses and\nmedical practitioners to understand that the formulated question influences any\nattempt to find evidence to achieve a desirable outcome in patients so as to\nsupport a practical change. It is also evident from the previous studies\nthat Rapid Response Teams are the best weapon to curb cardiac arrests since\nthey evaluate the patients at an early stage of the disease thus reducing\nmortality rate (Dacey et al. 2007). Another study also pointed that while\ntherapeutic interventions have been successfully administered to the patients,\nsuch interventions may not be helpful for long-term health care processes\n(Cheng, 2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n References<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dacey MJ,\net al.

Objectives: This study\naimed to evaluate the ability of earlier medical intervention by an RRT\nprompted by clinical instability in patients to reduce the incidence of and\nmortality from unexpected cardiac arrest at our hospital. Patients and Methods:\nA nonrandomized, population-based study before 2008 and after 2010 introduction\nof the Rapid Response Teams in a 300-bed private hospital. All patients were\nadmitted to the hospital in 2008 (n = 25348) and 2010 (n = 28024). RRT (One\ndoctor, one senior intensive care nurse and one staff nurse) attended to\nclinically unstable patients immediately with resuscitation drugs, fluid, and\nequipment. Response was activated by the bedside nurse or doctor according to\npredefined criteria. Main outcome measures were incidence and outcome of\nunexpected cardiac arrest. Results: The incidence of unexpected cardiac arrest\nwas 17 per 1000 hospital admissions (431 cases) in 2008 (before RRT\nintervention) and 12.45 per 1000 admissions (349 cases) in 2010 (after\nintervention), with mortality being 73.23% (274 patients) and 66.15% (231\npatients) respectively. After adjustment for case mix the intervention was\nassociated with a 19% reduction in the incidence of unexpected cardiac arrest\n(odds ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.65-0.98). Conclusions: The RRT was\nable to detect preventable adverse events and reduce the mortality and\nincidence of unexpected cardiac arrests<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stillwell SB et al, Evidence-based practice,\nstep by step: asking the clinical question: a key step in evidence-based\npractice. <\/strong>2nd ed.

Y. Evidence-Based Medicine\n(EBM): What t Long -Term Care Providers Need to Know<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \nEvidence-based medicine (EBM) has been exponentially disseminated to every\nfield of medicine over past 2 decades.1\u20137 EBM is now a part of postgraduate\ncompetency through practice-based learning.8 However, its potential use in the\nlong-term care setting was only recently appreciated in the literature.1,9,10\nEBM may play an important role in reforming nursing homes and improving quality\ncare.1\u20135,9,10 The simple search term \u201cEBM,\u201d limited to English and human in\nMedline, generated 49,304 citations, which narrowed to only 173 when \u201cnursing\nhomes\u201d was added, indicating that EBP is not rare and is being implemented in\nlong-term care. It has been a great effort that each article in this special\nissue presents evidence-based recommendations to long-term care providers to\nguide their daily practice. In contrast to the evidence-based approach to\nindividual geriatric conditions addressed in the other articles in this issue,\nthis article briefly introduces the basic concept of EBM; addresses some\npotential benefits, harms, and challenges of its practice in a long-term care\nsetting; and promotes its appropriate use among providers of long-term care.\nFor those who already know the EBM basics and are interested in becoming\nexperts, several textbooks on EBM are recommended.11\u201313 Attending an EBM\nworkshop, such as one run by McMaster University,14 could also be helpful.
