Direct Discharge from the Critical Care Resuscitation Unit: Results from a Longitudinal Assessment
CONCLUSIONS: Most patients who were discharged from the CCRU did not require any hospital revisits in the first 6 months. Requiring mechanical ventilation and having soft tissue infection were associated with high unplanned hospital revisits following discharge. Further research is needed to validate these findings.PMID:37937161 | PMC:PMC10627715 | DOI:10.1155/2023/2213185 (Source: Critical Care Research and Practice)

Comfort and Coordination among Interprofessional Care Providers Involved in Intubations in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
CONCLUSIONS: Exploration of provider perceptions and emergence of constructive themes expose opportunities for teamwork improvement strategies involving intubations in the PICU. The use of a preintubation checklist may improve organization and communication amongst team members, increase provider morale, decrease team stress levels, and, ultimately, may improve patient outcomes during this high stakes, coordinated event.PMID:37829150 | PMC:PMC10567513 | DOI:10.1155/2023/4504934 (Source: Critical Care Research and Practice)
