Cardiac Surgery Unit Advanced Life Support Training: A 10-Year Retrospective Study Examining Patient Mortality Outcomes After Implementation
This article describes one institution's experience related to patient mortality outcomes following a rigorous training program following the CSU-ALS guideline. Because of the small numbers associated with cardiac arrests after cardiac surgery (0.7%-8%), statistical significance was not a goal. Methods A quasi-experimental design was used to compare mortality outcomes before and after CSU-ALS training. One hundred percent of the staff were trained in the initial year, and 85% to 90% of the staff maintained competency in the following years. The author used 10 years of retrospective data to compare mortality rates 4 ...

Communicating With Unconscious Patients: An Overview
Conclusions Strong evidence shows that some patients diagnosed as being in a vegetative state can hear and understand what is being said in their environment. Interviews with previously unconscious patients and electrophysiological methods show that awareness can be detected in patients perceived to be unconscious. There is documented evidence that patients experience awareness when going into unconsciousness, even when they appear unaware and when moved. To our knowledge, these times have not been researched using electrophysiological devices but established from interviews. (Source: Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing)

Implications for practice include the need for proactive and open communication between nurses and administrators when new technology and/or patient care processes require NPW. Administrative considerations include process and environmental improvement strategies to remove perceived workflow barriers. Future research to examine causes and consequences of NPW is needed to identify interventions for NPW prevention. Specific nursing considerations include workload, staffing and time constraints, and i...
