Using SwabCap® to Reduce the Number of Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSIs) Dawn E Bennett Joliet Junior College Nursing 260 Using SwabCap® to Reduce the Number of Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSIs) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every year health care associated infections (HAIs) affect 5% of hospitalized patients in the United States. CLABSIs are a deadly HAI, with a mortality rate of 12%-25%. In 2009, the number of CLABSIs in an Intensive care unit (ICU) setting was estimated at 18,000, and for patients in an inpatient ward was an estimated 23,000. Patients receiving hemodialysis as an outpatient in 2008 had an higher rate of CLABSIs, with an estimated

Dementia isn't when you can't find your car keys. We all do that. Experts say the condition is the health and social care challenge of the 21st century, because the UK's ageing population means the numbers affected are set to soar. The following facts and figures show the height of the challenge; 700,000 people have dementia in the UK 15,000 of those are under 65 The total affected is estimated to reach 1m by 2021 By 2051, it could reach 1.7m Women account for two-thirds of cases Dementia currently costs the UK over £17bn a year Dementia could cost the economy £50bn per year within 30 years The disease can affect a person anywhere from three to 20 years!! Dementia can be caused by a number of illnesses that affect the brain.
Death rates at major trauma centres are 25% less than those at local hospitals, (MacKenzie et al, 2006). Although journey time to a specialist centre can be longer, paramedics can provide advanced airway management, intravenous access and needle chest decompression for those patients in imminent danger of permanent disability or death. In these cases the paramedic is essential and cannot be seen as a luxury. Based on the evidence I have presented, the paramedic is essential to a successful Stan Dixon February 2012 ambulance service, providing appropriate care to those who use the service. As I have shown, other ambulance services such as East Midlands and South Central currently deploy ECAs working alongside qualified clinicians (paramedics/technicians) and this could be argued to be the way forward.
All four studies were conducted with HBOT shows that there is increase in short term healing rate and reduction in amputation rate. This is a non-invasive method for chronic non-healing wound and patients get a better quality of life. Treatment for osteomylitis and amputation needs more hospitalisation and treatment but with HBOT by promoting healing and reducing amputation there is reduction in cost of healthcare taken place. There is some issues with chronic lower extremity wounds. Significance to nursing practice.
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to have their first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. MS is about 2.5 times more common among women than men and is most common in Caucasian people of northern European origin, especially those of Scottish descent. In one study, people went an average of 7 years between their first MS symptom and their diagnosis. The majority of MS first present with relapsing/remitting and have often completely recovered from the presenting symptoms within as little as six weeks or less. Few of the symptoms of MS are unique to the disease and, even if you have one or more of them, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have multiple sclerosis.
Among people age 85 or older, about two-thirds report functional limitations. One study estimates that more than two-thirds of 65-year-olds will need assistance to deal with a loss in functioning at some point during their remaining years of life. (Congressional Budget Office, 2013) Long Term Services and Support (LTSS) refer to the assistance programs available for the aging population needing to deal with functional and cognitive limitations. Long-term services and supports are provided and paid for both privately and publicly. More than half
