Objective: To verify the association between a multiprofessional round with the use of checklists and patient safety practices by health professionals in an intensive care unit.
Method: Mixed-method study, delineated by the sequential explanatory approach, conducted in a hospital in southern Brazil. Quantitative data were analyzed using Poisson regression, and qualitative data, using content analysis. The integrated analysis was performed through the explained/connected combination.
Results: In the post-implementation period of the rounds with systematic use of the checklist, there was a significant improvement in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism, light sedation, reduction in the days of use of mechanical ventilation, central venous catheter and indwelling urinary catheter.
Conclusion: The multiprofessional round with the systematic use of checklist, associated with the improvement in patient safety practices, was considered as a strategy that ensures better care in intensive care and favors job satisfaction.

Introduction: The Non-Surgical Oncology (NSO) workforce, like many healthcare specialities, faces critical personnel shortages. With a 21 % deficit in consultant oncologists anticipated by 2028, alongside vacancies in key roles such as therapeutic radiographers. To address these challenges, innovative workforce strategies are necessary, including the diversification of skills and the creation of advanced career pathways for healthcare professionals such as nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals.

Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the importance of effective pre-hospital care for penetrating neck injuries (PNI) in the UK, noting a lack of established guidelines for managing such cases in resource-limited settings.
- - A modified e-Delphi study was conducted with 28 subject matter experts who reached consensus on 19 key statements about PNI management, ultimately leading to the creation of a management algorithm.
- - The goal of this consensus is to provide essential guidance for treating PNI in challenging situations, aiming to enhance patient outcomes through optimized care strategies.

A common data model for the standardization of intensive care unit medication features.

Department of Biomedical Informatics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, United States.
Objective: Common data models provide a standard means of describing data for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, but this process has never been undertaken for medications used in the intensive care unit (ICU). We sought to develop a common data model (CDM) for ICU medications to standardize the medication features needed to support future ICU AI efforts.
Materials And Methods: A 9-member, multi-professional team of ICU clinicians and AI experts conducted a 5-round modified Delphi process employing conference calls, web-based communication, and electronic surveys to define the most important medication features for AI efforts.
Background: Physical rehabilitation of critically ill patients is implemented to improve physical outcomes from an intensive care stay. However, before rehabilitation is implemented, a risk assessment is essential, based on robust safety data. To develop this information, a uniform definition of relevant adverse events is required.
