Article Synopsis
- Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is relatively common in hospitalized patients, especially post-surgery, but little research has focused on its prevalence after emergency surgeries like laparotomies.
- This study tracked 146 patients who underwent emergency exploratory laparotomies over 18 months, finding only one case of DVT, leading to a prevalence rate of 0.68%.
- The findings suggest that while DVT can occur after emergency surgery, its frequency may be low, indicating the need for further research with larger groups to better understand the relationship between emergency laparotomies and DVT risk.
Objective: Intellectual disability liaison nurses in general hospitals could enhance access to high-quality, adapted healthcare and improve outcomes. We aimed to explore associations between the input of intellectual disability liaison nurses and the quality of care in people with intellectual disability who are admitted to hospital.
Design: Retrospective analysis of a national dataset of mortality reviews.
Background: People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medication than the general population and are frequently prescribed multiple medications. Understanding people with intellectual disabilities and carer perspectives is essential to improving the quality of psychotropic medication prescribing and usage.
Method: A rapid review explored people with intellectual disabilities' understanding of psychotropic medications, as well as family members and paid carers, and how this understanding can be improved.
