October 2024
From the NorthShore University HealthSystem (S.B.G., N.B-I., J.C., C.W., C.G.), Evanston, IL; University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine (S.B.G.), Chicago, IL; University of Arizona College of Medicine (S.B.), Tucson, AZ; The Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (T.F.D.), Rochester, MN; and Harvard Medical School (F.S.), Boston, MA.
Introduction: Combining audiovisual decision support during perioperative critical events might enhance provider diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy and efficiency.
Methods: This study is a prospective, randomized controlled pilot trial studying the impact of audiovisual decision support on anesthesia professional performance at NorthShore University HealthSystem's high fidelity simulation center. Twenty anesthesia professionals (>2 years of clinical experience in the current role) were randomized to 2 groups (current care model vs.
This study examined the level of perceived cultural competence of student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) in Illinois and made educational recommendations. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was completed using the Clinical Cultural Competency Questionnaire (CCCQ) to evaluate the perceived level of cultural competence among SRNAs in Illinois. Four domains of clinical cultural competency--knowledge, skills, attitudes (awareness), and encounters--were evaluated and reported.

From the Loyola University Medical Center, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, Maywood, IL (Burnham and Brown), the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ (Kiernan), the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, Spartanburg, SC (Ortega), the Loyola University Chicago, Center for Translational Research, Maywood, IL (Wesolowski), the Northshore University HealthSystem, Skokie, IL (Tauchen), the OrthoArizona, Scottsdale, AZ (Russo), and the Carolina Orthopaedic & Neurosurgical Associates, Spartanburg, SC (Gerscovich).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the learning curve for new surgeons performing direct anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) right after completing their fellowship training.
- Data was collected on 286 patients to measure surgical time, blood loss, and complications, comparing the experiences of four fellowship-trained surgeons in their first year.
- Results indicated that while surgical time and blood loss did not show a learning curve, complications decreased after performing approximately 40 procedures, suggesting recent grads should be aware of the potential for complications in their initial cases.
A Needs Assessment for Development of the TIME Anesthesia Handoff Tool.
AANA J
December 2017
is an assistant professor at DePaul University's School of Nursing. She has nursing experience in a Level I surgicaltrauma intensive care unit, and her research focus is on health disparities for vulnerable populations.
Standardized handoff is critical to providing safe and effective patient care. Limited studies assess the need for developing a handoff tool for anesthesia providers. The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess the need for a standardized anesthesia handoff tool and to identify the most essential components to develop an anesthesia handoff tool.

May 2015
From the NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, IL, and the NorthShore University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, Chicago, IL.
Objectives: We evaluated the LightCycler MRSA Advanced Test (Roche Molecular Diagnostics, Pleasanton, CA), the BD MAX MRSA assay (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ), and the Xpert MRSA assay (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA) on nasal samples using the same population.
Methods: Admission and discharge nasal swabs were collected from inpatients using a double-headed swab. One swab was plated onto CHROMagar MRSA (CMA; Becton Dickinson, Sparks, MD) and then broken off into tryptic soy broth (TSB) for enrichment.
Postplacental insertion of the levonorgestrel intrauterine device after cesarean delivery vs. delayed insertion: a randomized controlled trial.
Contraception
June 2014
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Section of Family Planning and Contraceptive Research, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637.
Objective: This trial was designed to compare levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) use at 1 year after delivery between women randomized to postplacental insertion at the time of cesarean delivery and delayed insertion 4-8 weeks after delivery.
Study Design: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at two urban medical centers. Eligible pregnant women with planned cesarean deliveries were randomized to immediate postplacental insertion during cesarean or delayed insertion after 4-8 weeks.
Severe hydramnios and preterm delivery in association with transient maternal diabetes insipidus.
Obstet Gynecol
August 2010
From the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chicago, Illinois; and the NorthShore University HealthSystem Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Evanston, Illinois.
Background: Diabetes insipidus is rare in pregnancy. It is characterized by hypoosmolar polyuria and may be central, nephrogenic, or transient in etiology; the latter is presumably related to excess placental vasopresinase production. In theory, fetal effects of this endocrine condition may include hydramnios secondary to fetal polyuria.
