Background: While the importance of invasive physiological assessment (IPA) to choose coronary lesions to be treated is ascertained, its role after PCI is less established. We evaluated feasibility and efficacy of Physiology-guided PCI in the everyday practice in a retrospective registry performed in a single high-volume and "physiology-believer" center.
Materials And Methods: The PROPHET-FFR study (NCT05056662) patients undergoing an IPA in 2015-2020 were retrospectively enrolled in three groups: Control group comprising patients for whom PCI was deferred based on a IPA; Angiography-Guided PCI group comprising patients undergoing PCI based on an IPA but without a post-PCI IPA; Physiology-guided PCI group comprising patients undergoing PCI based on an IPA and an IPA after PCI, followed by a physiology-guided optimization, if indicated.
Background And Aim Of The Work: Empowerment is very important to keep high staff motivation and attention on patient safety. The aim of this study was to produce a "Charter of Rights-Duties for Patients' Empowerment", by developing empowerment both of patients and professionals of the Hematology and Bone marrow transplant center Unit of Parma University Hospital.
Methods: The professionals were actively involved in meetings to complete the Italian version of the SESM Empowerment Questionnaire, draft the Charter and produce some communication tools to be implemented in the Unit.
Introduction: Safety Surgery CheckList (SSCL) is a support tool for operating teams, used to carry out safety checks while also encouraging compliance with the implementation of recommended quality and safety standards. In Emilia-Romagna it was deemed appropriate to check actual surgical team compliance with correct checklist application in the operating theatre, through a project called "OssERvare".
Methods: Direct observation was identified as the preferred inspection method.
Article Synopsis
- Hospitalized patients often face overuse of blood tests, leading to high costs with no proven benefits, prompting a need for reevaluation of test ordering practices.
- A three-phase study at a teaching hospital in Parma aimed to improve decision-making in lab tests by categorizing them as recommended or non-recommended based on literature.
- Results showed a significant decrease in unnecessary tests after implementing new guidelines, indicating that more evidence-based test ordering can reduce costs without compromising patient care.*
