This study was to explore the effect of a continuous nursing model based on the mobile Internet in the home nursing of patients with T-tube after hepatolithiasis surgery. A continuous nursing system based on the mobile Internet was constructed, and 94 discharged patients with T-tube after biliary tract surgery were selected as the study subjects. The differences of complication rate, referral rate, nursing satisfaction, self-care ability, and quality of life score through the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) after routine health education nursing (control group, = 47) and continuous nursing mode based on the Internet (observation group, = 47) were explored. The results showed that the success rate of the continuous nursing system based on mobile Internet in processing user requests was 96.2%. After nursing, the total complication rates of the control group and the observation group were 34.0% and 6.4%, the total satisfaction rates were 42.6% and 87.2%, and the referral rates were 23.4% and 6.4%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05). After nursing, the scores of self-care ability and SF-36 quality of life in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( < 0.05). In summary, the continuous nursing platform based on mobile Internet technology can meet the needs of users, and the nursing mode can significantly improve the home self-care ability of discharged patients with T-tube after surgery and improve the nursing effect, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of patients.

Background And Objectives: Despite their limited benefits and serious adverse effects, psychotropics remain frequently prescribed for neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) of dementia. Psychotropic polypharmacy, the use of two or more concomitant psychotropic medications, is therefore not recommended for people with dementia. The objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence of psychotropic polypharmacy in Australians living with dementia whose caregivers sought external NPS support from Dementia Support Australia (DSA; the national provider of NPS support) and the association of psychotropic polypharmacy with their demographics and NPS characteristics.

Blood pressure (BP) is a dynamic measure that is frequently discussed in static terms. There exist many limitations in current documentation systems whereby documented BP values may not be reflective of the dynamic variability of BP. This study used an observational, prospective, non-randomized study design to examine the variability in BP response during intravenous vasoactive medication administration in an intensive care unit setting.
