Association between peripheral venous catheter failure and care complexity factors in emergency department: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: The objective was to determine the prevalence of peripheral venous catheter (PVC) failure and its association with care complexity individual factors (CCIFs) in emergency department (ED) patients.

Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study was performed.

Methods: All patients with a PVC inserted in the ED of a tertiary hospital were included.

Activity, triage levels and impact of the pandemic on hospital emergency departments: A multicentre cross-sectional study.

Aim: Describe the activity of hospital emergency departments (EDs) and the sociodemographic profile of patients in the eight public hospitals in Spain, according to the different triage levels, and to analyse the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on patient flow.

Design: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study was carried out.

Methods: Three high-tech public hospitals and five low-tech hospitals consecutively included 2,332,654 adult patients seen in hospital EDs from January 2018 to December 2021.

Peripheral intravenous catheter failure, nurse staffing levels and care complexity individual factors: A retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Introduction: Short peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) failure is a common complication that is generally underdiagnosed. Some studies have evaluated the factors associated with these complications, but the impact of care complexity individual factors and nurse staffing levels on PIVC failure is still to be assessed. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors of PIVC failure in the public hospital system of the Southern Barcelona Metropolitan Area.

The diary in the intensive care unit: Concept analysis.

Introduction: Admission to an intensive care unit can cause sequelae to both patients and family members. In some countries, the use of diaries is a preventive action.

Aim: This research proposes to critically examine the concept of 'Intensive Care Unit Diary' by analysing the current state of the scientific literature to develop a precise conception of this phenomenon in nursing practice, since there are multiple unknowns regarding its use and content.

Care complexity factors associated with revisits to an emergency department.

Objectives: To analyze the prevalence of care complexity factors (CCFs) in patients coming to an emergency department (ED) and to analyze their relation to 30-day ED revisits.

Material And Methods: Observational, correlational, and cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients seeking care from a tertiarylevel hospital ED were included over a period of 6 months.
