Objectives: To construct and examine the effects of a Standardized Bedside Handover Process and Visual Diagnosis-symptom System.
Methods: According to the application of standardized procedure and Diagnosing-symptom System, we divided three groups: control group, process group and process + visualization group. Study outcomes included nursing handover practices and patient bedside nursing handover satisfaction, which were measured by the Chinese version of Nursing Assessment of Shift Report (NASR) and the Patients Views on Nursing Care with implementation bedside report (PVNC-BR), respectively.
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated all prediction models for sarcopenia in Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) patients.
Methods: This study used the Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement (PRISMA) for systematic review.
Data Sources: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library and Medline databases up to September 2023.
Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and/or plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) for left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and/or LV diastolic dysfunction in septic patients.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, 90 septic patients and 30 non-septic ones underwent serial TTEs to measure LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and blood flow velocity of mitral annulus during early diastole (E) and atrial contraction (A) ratio (E/A) within 24 h of admission, 2, 3, 5 and 7 days. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the plasma levels of BNP simultaneously.
