Flash Glucose Monitoring and Patient Satisfaction: A Meta-Review of Systematic Reviews.

Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) systems have been suggested to have clinical beneficial effects in patients with diabetes mellitus, although their improvements in terms of quality of life (QoL) and patients' satisfaction are not always addressed or are considered a secondary outcome. Thus, the aim of this meta-review is to establish the benefits of FGM in terms of patients' satisfaction and QoL in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients using evidence from past systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Major databases were searched for systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses) that assessed the satisfaction or QoL of type 1 or 2 diabetes patients using FGM compared with other glucose monitoring systems.

Nursing care and prevalence of adverse events in prone position: Characteristics of mechanically ventilated patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary infection.

Background: Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the use of prone positioning has dramatically increased in the intensive care unit (ICU). Because this manoeuvre is related to several complications, it must be performed in a protocolized manner by the appropriate personnel.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of adverse events (AEs) in patients admitted to the ICU with a diagnosis of COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (C-ARDS) undergoing mechanical ventilation in prone position (PP).

An informative nursing intervention for families of patients admitted to the intensive care unit regarding the satisfaction of their needs: The INFOUCI study.

Aim: To evaluate whether an informative intervention by nursing professionals through Short Message Service (SMS) improved patients' family members' satisfaction with the intensive care experience.

Methods/design: This was an exploratory, two-armed, randomised, non-pharmacological, prospective study. The intervention consisted of providing information to the contact persons of patients admitted to the ICU of the University Hospital La Princesa (Madrid, Spain) through SMS based on the patient's nursing assessment.

The early diagnosis and management of mixed delirium in a patient placed on ECMO and with difficult sedation: A case report.

Delirium represents a serious problem that impacts the physical and cognitive prognosis of patients admitted to intensive care units and requires prompt diagnosis and management. This article describes the case and progress of a patient placed on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation with difficult sedation criteria and an early diagnosis of mixed delirium. During the case report, we reflect on the pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies employed to cope with delirium paying special attention to the non-use of physical restraint measures in order to preserve vital support devices (endotracheal tube or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation cannula).

Healthy lifestyle habits for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: A systemic review.

Objectives: To assess the effects of lifestyle habits on the disease activity and damage, the occurrence of flares and quality of life of people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Methods: A systematic literature review was performed. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SCI/SSCI were searched.
