Purpose: To analyze available evidence in the literature on the effect of aromatherapy for the management of postoperative pain in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU).
Design: Systematic review according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) model and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.
Methods: The search was carried out in August 2023, using descriptors and keywords, in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Excerpta Medica Database, PUBMED, Scopus, Virtual Health Library, Google Scholar, CAPES, BDTD, and ProQuest portals of theses and dissertations, with no language restrictions or time limit.
Objective: Develop and validate the content of an instrument for patient risk classification in emergency services of Primary Health Care.
Method: The study included two stages: item generation and content validity. A literature review and retrospective analysis of medical records were conducted to create the instrument items.
Background: Infection associated with the use of the External Ventricular Drainage (EVD) catheter in neurosurgery is linked to high morbidity and mortality, and various mechanisms are related to its occurrence. This systematic review aims to summarise and update the risk factors associated with EVD-related infection.
Method: Systematic review with meta-analysis, utilising grey literature and indexed databases.
Background: Recommendations for different types of bathing to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are still divergent. The objective of this study was to verify whether bed bathing with wipes impregnated with 2% chlorhexidine (CHG) compared to conventional bed bathing is more effective in preventing CLABSI.
Methods: Systematic review of the literature by consulting the electronic databases PubMed/Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science from the date of inception until July 1, 2023, with no language or time restrictions.
Background: The evidence supporting intensive blood glucose control to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) among liver transplant recipients is insufficient. We aimed to assess the effects of postoperative intensive blood glucose control (IBGC) against standard blood glucose control (SBGC) on the incidence of SSIs among adult liver transplant recipients.
Methods: We performed a randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.
Background: Considering the new SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the potential scarcity of material resources, the reuse of personal protective equipment such as filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) for N95 filtering or higher is being discussed, mainly regarding the effectiveness and safety of cleaning, disinfection and sterilization processes.
Aim: To analyze the available evidence in the literature on the safety in processing FFRs.
Methods: A systematic review conducted by searching for studies in the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, CENTRAL, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus.
Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the leading health care-associated infections as well as a major problem in the postoperative period of lung transplant recipients. Little is known about the risk factors in this specific population. The objective of this study was to identify the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of SSI following lung transplant.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) are common among liver transplant recipients and result in adverse patient outcomes. Standard glycemic control is effective in reducing SSIs. Some studies suggest intensive glycemic control reduces the risk of SSI further.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Current guidelines recommend perioperative warming as one of the strategies to prevent surgical site infection, although there are gaps in the knowledge produced on this issue.
Aim: Assess the efficacy of active warming methods to maintain perioperative patients' body temperature and its effect on the occurrence of surgical site infection.
Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was carried out.
Objective: To identify the knowledge of responsible technical nurses in relation to the general and management skills required to perform this function.
Method: Qualitative case study with 14 nurses. The semi-structured interviews were recorded and the data analyzed through the thematic content analysis.
Background: Surgical site infection is an important complication in the postoperative period among liver transplant recipients. However, little is known about the risk factors in this patient group. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the incidence and risk factors for surgical site infections among adult liver transplant recipients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To compare the characteristics of the work environment that enable the professional practice of nurses in private and public organizations.
Methods: A quantitative, exploratory, cross-section study, carried out in four health organizations - one public and three private, with 188 registered nurses. Participants answered the Brazilian version of the Nursing Work Index - Revised, which aims to evaluate the presence of characteristics that favor the development of nursing activities through 15 items distributed into three subscales: autonomy, control over the practice setting and relationships with physicians.
We undertook an integrative literature review of articles pertaining to perioperative nursing care provided to patients using postoperative accelerated recovery protocols. To select the articles, we searched the MEDLINE, PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and LiteraturaLatino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde databases. We identified 329 studies, 13 of which met our inclusion criteria and described perioperative nursing care activities.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Surgical site infection (SSI) is an important complication in the postoperative period of recipients of liver transplantation. The purpose of this integrative literature review is to summarize the knowledge available about the risk factors contributing to the development SSI among adults undergoing liver transplantation.
Methods: We reviewed the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online/PubMed, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Scopus, and Web of Science databases.
Objective: to investigate the evidence available in the literature on non-adherence to immunosuppressive therapy among patients undergoing liver transplantation.
Method: integrative literature review, including research whose sample consisted of patients aged over 18 years undergoing liver transplantation. It excluded those containing patients undergoing multiple organ transplants.
