Article Synopsis
- Sleep deprivation and circadian disruptions are prevalent issues among health care workers, particularly affecting nurses and posing risks to both patient safety and the nurses themselves.
- The study evaluated sleepiness levels in post-night-shift nurses using subjective and objective methods, revealing significant differences between ICU nurses and those on general floors.
- Findings indicated that ICU nurses exhibited higher levels of sleepiness based on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Mean Sleep Latency Test, suggesting they experience a concerning level of sleepiness that could impact their performance and safety.
Studies of the efficacy of heliox in patients with severe asthma have shown mixed results. Among the factors that are responsible for variable outcomes, the failure of heliox delivery systems to prevent room air entrainment (RAE) during beta-agonist delivery is probably the most critical. While keeping the rotameter flow rate (FR) of heliox mixed 70:30 to a nebulizer at 10 L/min, the FR of heliox from a second gas source to a T-connector (TC) was increased during the delivery of the beta-agonist with a conventional T-nebulizer delivery system (TNDS).
