Improving Operating Room Start Times: The Role of a Pediatric Perioperative Nurse Practitioner
The Pre-Surgical Testing program at Cohen Children's Medical Center launched in 2012. We evaluate approximately 7,000 patients per year who are scheduled for outpatient and inpatient surgeries from all pediatric surgical services. The Pre-Surgical Testing program providers are pediatric and family nurse practitioners (NPs). In 2017, the NP role expanded into the inpatient setting. We started to evaluate patients scheduled for emergency procedures, sedated radiology studies, and invasive procedures. We identified high-risk patients, which provided anesthesiologists with the critical information they needed to deliver safe p...

Institutional Protocol Evolution for Screening Surgical Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The provisions of healthcare have significantly changed globally as a result of the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Consequently, SARS-CoV-2 has required hospitals to create institution-specific preoperative screening protocols to minimize nosocomial transmission. Nursing leadership at our institution has served an important role in the evolving screening process. Over 260,000 people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 within Harris County, significantly impacting healthcare systems within the greater Houston area. Institutional surgical screening protocols have thus been designed to ...

Use of Simulation to Improve Nurses' Response to COVID-19 Code Blue: A Literature Review
This article provides a review of the literature on the use of simulation to improve nurses' response to a code blue emergency with patients with COVID-19. This review includes literature on using simulation to enhance donning and doffing of personal protective equipment. No previous literature discussed conducting a code blue rescue with a patient who has COVID-19. On the basis of the literature reviewed, simulation should be considered as a tool to improve code blue outcomes, confidence of nurse responders, and compliance in proper donning and doffing of personal protective equipment. This article offers implications for...

Testing Katharine Kolcaba Theory of Comfort: Effectiveness of Integrative Comfort Care Interventions on Discomfort Experienced by Children (Aged 5–10 Years) During Postoperative Period
The aim of this study was to test Katharine Kolcaba's theory of comfort by evaluating the effectiveness of integrative comfort care interventions on discomfort experienced by children (aged 5–10 years) during the postoperative period. An experimental approach, pretest-and-posttest control group design, was used for evaluating the effectiveness of integrative comfort care interventions on discomfort experienced by children. Sample was composed of 200 children, selected using purposive sampling technique with random assignment to experimental and control groups. Kolcaba's Comfort Theory was used to assess the child's condi...
