The year 2020 was the year of the nurse, celebrating nurse scholarship, innovation, and leadership by promoting scientific nursing research, improving nursing practice, advancing nursing education, and providing leadership to influence health policy. As architects of stroke care, neuroscience nurses play a vital role in collaborating and coordinating care between multiple health professionals. Nurses improve accessibility and equity through telestroke, emergency medical services, and mobile stroke units and are integral to implementing education strategies by advocating and ensuring that patients and caregivers receive stroke education while safely transitioning through the health care system and to home. Stroke care is increasingly complex in the new reperfusion era, requiring nurses to participate in continuing education while attaining levels of competency in both the acute and recovery care process. Advanced practice nurses are taking the lead in many organizations, serving as prehospital providers on mobile stroke units, participating as members of the stroke response team, and directing stroke care protocols in the emergency department. This scientific statement is an update to the 2009 "Comprehensive Overview of Nursing and Interdisciplinary Care of the Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient." The aim is to provide a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence on nursing care in the prehospital and hyperacute emergency hospital setting, arming nurses with the necessary tools to provide evidenced-based high-quality care.

Who is coming in? Evaluation of physician performance within multi-physician emergency departments.
Am J Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA; Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: This study aimed to examine how physician performance metrics are affected by the speed of other attendings (co-attendings) concurrently staffing the ED.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using patient data from two EDs between January-2018 and February-2020. Machine learning was used to predict patient length of stay (LOS) conditional on being assigned a physician of average speed, using patient- and departmental-level variables.
National early warning score 2 plus non-invasive capnography and perfusion index to estimate poor outcomes in emergency departments.
Am J Emerg Med
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Valladolid, Valladolid, Spain; Emergency Department, Hospital Clínico Universitario, Gerencia Regional de Salud de Castilla y León, Valladolid, Spain.
Background: The study of the inclusion of new variables in already existing early warning scores is a growing field. The aim of this work was to determine how capnometry measurements, in the form of end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and the perfusion index (PI), could improve the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2).
Methods: A secondary, prospective, multicenter, cohort study was undertaken in adult patients with unselected acute diseases who needed continuous monitoring in the emergency department (ED), involving two tertiary hospitals in Spain from October 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023.

Person-centered coaching provided by clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) is an effective, acceptable, and feasible evidence-based intervention. Psychosocial distress experienced by older adults and their families during transitions of care can contribute to adverse events. CNS coaching demonstrated increased self-reported preparedness for healthcare transitions and knowledge-of-care options.

Author Affiliations: Research Associate (Dr Keys), The Center for Health Design, Concord, California; National Senior Director (Dr Fineout-Overholt), Evidence-Based Practice and Implementation Science, at Ascension in St. Louis, MO.
Objective: Relationships among coworker and patient visibility, reactions to physical work environment, and work stress in ICU nurses are explored.
Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually in the building or remodeling of ICUs, yet there is a gap in understanding relationships between the physical layout of nursing units and work stress.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory, predictive design, relationships among variables were studied in a diverse sample of ICU nurses.
