Po-05-036 a first in human report of ivac2l ® percutaneous ventricular assist device supported ventricular tachycardia ablation
Mechanical circulatory support is increasingly used to support mapping and ablation of high risk VT. The PulseCath iVAC2L ® (PulseCath BV, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) fully percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) was designed for short term pulsatile left ventricular (LV) support of up to 1.5-1.8l/min in high risk percutaneous coronary intervention. Its use in VT ablation has never been reported. (Source: Heart Rhythm)

The effect of family-centered care on unplanned emergency room visits, hospital readmissions and intensive care admissions after surgery: a root cause analysis from a prospective multicenter study in the Netherlands
CONCLUSION: Based on the insights from the root-cause analysis in this prospective multicenter study, it appears that unplanned emergency room visits and hospital readmissions are not related to the active involvement of family caregivers in surgical follow-up care. Moreover, surgical follow-up care by trained family caregivers during hospitalization was not associated with increased rates of unplanned adverse events. Hence, the concept of active family involvement by proficiently trained family caregivers in postoperative care appears safe and feasible for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.PMID:38689336 | DOI:10...

Vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 related hospital admission in the Netherlands by medical risk condition: A test-negative case-control study
CONCLUSION: Although VE against hospitalization was 78% and increased to 89% after boosting during the Delta-dominant study period, VE was lower in certain high risk groups, for which indirect protection or other protective measures might be of added importance.PMID:38688804 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.04.017 (Source: Vaccine)

Effect of surgical volume on short-term outcomes of cytoreductive surgery for advanced-stage ovarian cancer: A population-based study from the Dutch Gynecological Oncology Audit
CONCLUSIONS: Our analyses do not support further centralization of iCRS for advanced-stage OC. High-volume was associated with higher complete pCRS, suggesting either a more accurate selection in these hospitals or a more aggressive approach. The higher completeness rates were at the expense of higher severe complications and prolonged admissions.PMID:38688188 | DOI:10.1016/j.ygyno.2024.04.002 (Source: Gynecologic Oncology)

Urinary Tract Infection Guideline Adherence in Dutch Nursing Home Network
To examine guideline adherence three years after the introduction of a national guideline on urinary tract infection (UTI) based on the 2018 International Delphi Consensus Criteria for Suspected UTI in Frail Older Adults. The appropriate use of urine dipsticks, treatment decisions and antibiotic drug choices in nursing home residents with (suspected) UTIs without a catheter were examined.
