Article Synopsis
- - The COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University, necessitating a swift overhaul of the Internal Medicine Residency Program to effectively manage a surge in critically ill patients.
- - Internal medicine residents took on leading roles in patient care, prompting a shift from traditional hierarchical models to more flexible and capacity-driven approaches to handle the crisis.
- - The article aims to share insights and strategies developed during this challenging period, focusing on maintaining patient and resident safety while adapting educational and care practices for future reference.
Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients experience significant symptom burden that is often undertreated.
Objective: This study identified (1) barriers to symptom management in the HD population, (2) potential targets for improving symptom burden, (3) provider attitudes toward palliative care for HD patients, and (4) perceptions of how transplant eligibility impacts care.
Design: Semistructured, one-on-one interviews were conducted, audiotaped, and transcribed.
Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) suffer from a high symptom burden. However, there is significant heterogeneity within the HD population; certain subgroups, such as the elderly, may experience disproportionate symptom burden.
Objectives: The study's objective was to propose a category of HD patients at elevated risk for symptom burden (those patients who are not transplant candidates) and to compare symptomatology among transplant ineligible versus eligible HD patients.
