Background And Objective: The purpose of this quality management study was to demonstrate how one hospital made a journey from average patient experience to become a regional leader in the experience of patient care for nationally recognized quality and safety metrics.
Methods: Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center (SFHMC) located in Hartford, Connecticut, serves a diverse sociodemographic community as part of Trinity Health. "Recommend the Hospital" (RTH) has been the main marker of patient experience at SFHMC and Trinity Health across the United States as part of the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS).
Background: Three cases of anaphylactoid syndrome of pregnancy developed in association with the use of intracervical dinoprostone for cervical ripening.
Cases: All cases occurred at our institution between October 1996 and February 2001. The patients developed respiratory symptoms shortly after placement of 0.
Objective: To develop normative data for nasal bone length between 11 and 20 weeks' gestation and to assess the utility of nasal bone hypoplasia in the detection of fetal aneuploidy in the second trimester.
Methods: Well-dated, nonanomalous fetuses were examined between 11 and 20.9 weeks' gestation.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and side effects of two different misoprostol regimens for second-trimester pregnancy termination.
Study Design: We performed a randomized clinical trial in patients who were at 14 to 23 weeks of gestation and who were admitted for medical termination of pregnancy. All patients received 800 microg of vaginal misoprostol and were assigned randomly to 400 microg of oral misoprostol or 400 microg of vaginal misoprostol every 8 hours.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of velamentous cord insertion in triplet pregnancies and its link to small-for-gestational age infants.
- Researchers analyzed data from deliveries between 1995 and 1999, comparing triplets with and without velamentous cord insertion.
- Findings revealed that 28.2% of triplet sets had this condition, and those with it had a significantly higher chance of being small-for-gestational age (33% vs. 8%).
