Objectives: Atraumatic needles are known to reduce complication rates of blind lumbar punctures (LP), however, their use in fluoroscopically guided LP is less studied. This study assessed the comparative difficulty of performing fluoroscopic lumbar puncture with atraumatic needles.
Methods: Single-centre retrospective case-control study comparing atraumatic and conventional or "cutting" needles using fluoroscopic time and radiation dose (Dose Area Product or DAP) as surrogate markers.
Background: Healthcare workers (HCW) with an inflammatory disease may be at increased risk of infections and their complications, however there is no evidence to guide specific measures to reduce the risk of immunocompromised HCW acquiring infection in the workplace. This cross-sectional study aimed to define the attitudes of rheumatologists and rheumatology trainees towards counselling immunocompromised healthcare workers about additional workplace precautions to minimise workplace risk of infection.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered via Zoom poll during a webinar held in August 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Shoulder conditions significantly impact public health, prompting the development of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) aimed at optimizing patient care and outcomes.
- This systematic review seeks to identify, assess, and compare the content and quality of CPGs related to atraumatic shoulder conditions using established criteria.
- Ethical approval isn't needed for the review, and findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal to inform various stakeholders, including clinicians and researchers.
