Intrarater and interrater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale-Es and FRAIL-Es in critically ill patients.

Objective: To evaluate the intrarater and interrater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale-Spain (CFS-España) and FRAIL-España and the internal consistency of the FRAIL-España when implemented in critically ill patients by intensive care nurses and physicians.

Design: Descriptive, observational and metric study.

Setting: intensive care unit (ICU) of Spain.

Blood-sparing techniques prevalence in adult intensive care units: A multicentre survey study.

Introduction: Anaemia is a common condition in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). It is also well known that a significant amount of the carbon dioxide produced by health services is likely attributable to blood donation, testing, and the manufacture, storage, and distribution of blood components. To mitigate this, prevention strategies such as blood-sparing techniques are available.

Best practices for iatrogenic anaemia prevention in the intensive care unit: Blood-sparing techniques.

Anaemia is a common issue in patients who are admitted to intensive care units and worsens their condition throughout the stay due to the extraction of blood for diagnostic purposes. It is also well-known that an important amount of the carbon dioxide produced by health services is likely attributable to blood donation, testing and manufacture, storage or distribution of blood components. This must be taken into account to perform nursing interventions consistent with the idea of sustainable health care.

Workloads of intensive care nurses. Validity of their estimation using mobile applications and comparison with Nursing Activities Score. Systematised review of the literature.

Introduction: Adjusting human resources to intensive care units (ICU) workload is essential. The development of software for estimating nursing workload using mobile devices (smartphone, smartwatch and/or tablets) could be a useful tool and complement and/or improve the measurements made with the Nursing Activities Score (NAS), a validated scale.

Objectives: To analyze the validity of devices and mobile applications for estimating ICU nurses' workloads and their comparison with NAS.

Predictive validity of the Clinical Frailty Scale-España on the increase in dependency after hospital discharge.

Introduction: The frailty present at hospital admission and the stressors to which patients are subjected during their stay may increase dependency at hospital discharge.

Objectives: To assess the predictive validity of the Clinical Frailty Scale-España (CFS-Es) on increased dependency at 3 and 12 months (m) after hospital discharge.

Methodology: Multicentre cohort study in 2020-2022.
