Importance: Categorization systems for adverse events are not standardized across care settings and specialties and do not always include near miss events (events where there was potential for patient harm, but where no actual harm occurred), making it difficult to effectively assess patient safety for quality improvement.
Objective: To develop and assess interrater agreement on a classification system for adverse events reporting that incorporates events in both inpatient and outpatient settings across medical and surgical subspecialties including near miss events.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A cross-sectional study in a tertiary care center including 174 patient cases occurring from 2018 to 2020 was carried out.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine a numeric threshold for identifying functional versus obstructed noses by comparing thermal imaging results with subjective assessments of nasal blockage.
- - Researchers used a smartphone app with infrared thermal imaging to measure temperature differences between inhaled and exhaled air in participants at a hospital clinic.
- - The findings showed that participants with no obstruction had a greater temperature difference (mean of 9.0) compared to those with substantial blockage (mean of 7.69), suggesting thermal imaging could help assess nasal function, though further research is needed.
In the setting of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019)-associated moderate and severe acute respiratory distress, persistently hypoxemic patients often require prone positioning for >16 hours. We report facial pressure wounds and ear necrosis as a consequence of prone positioning in patients undergoing ventilation in the intensive care unit in a tertiary medical center in New York City.

Objective: Currently no established criteria exist to guide use of ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) for fetal neck mass management. This study aims to correlate prenatal radiographic findings with incidence of ex utero intrapartum treatment and necessity of airway intervention at delivery.
Methods: We reviewed our EXIT experience between 2012 and 17.
Objectives: To examine opioid-prescribing patterns after endocrine surgery. To evaluate factors associated with postoperative pain and opioid use.
Study Design: Cross-sectional.
