Background: Integrating early mobility (EM) expert consensus recommendations into an algorithm that uses electronic health record (EHR) data provides an opportunity for ICU nurse decision support.
Objective: This study aimed to compare clinical differences in ICU EM algorithm domains among patients with and without documented EM and examine discordance between algorithm classification and documented EM.
Methods: Secondary analysis of EHR data from adults admitted to the ICU from one health system's electronic data warehouse.
Background: Cardiac, pulmonary, and intensive care unit (ICU) rehabilitation/recovery programs are health promotion interventions designed to improve physical recovery, psychological well-being, and quality of life after acute illness while reducing the risk of adverse events.
Objective: Identify the difference in attendance rates for patients invited to a cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary rehabilitation, or ICU recovery program and factors influencing attendance.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and manual reference lists from inception to June 3, 2024.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of one year of medical cannabis use on brain function, specifically focusing on areas tied to working memory, reward, and inhibitory control.
- Conducted in the Boston area, the cohort study involved individuals aged 18-65 who sought medical cannabis cards for conditions like anxiety, depression, pain, or insomnia.
- Results showed brain imaging performed before and after a year of cannabis use did not reveal significant changes in brain activation related to the cognitive tasks evaluated.
