Exercise linked to smaller brain haemorrhages
Exercise may protect the brain against the harmful effects of strokes and improve recovery, a study has shown. Physically active patients who experience an intracerebral haemorrhage, the second most common type of stroke, were more likely to experience reduced bleeding on the brain than those who did not exercise. The findings, published in the journal... Read moreThe post Exercise linked to smaller brain haemorrhages appeared first on Nursing in Practice.

911 Calls for Emergency Medical Services in Heart Failure: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
Conclusions Overall, symptoms and signs of HF exacerbation were common reasons to activate 911 calls. Falls were frequently reported. Under the duress of the emergent situations surrounding the 911 call, callers rarely mentioned the existence of HF. Interventions are needed to guide patients with HF and their family members to promote the management of HF to reduce EMS activation as well as to activate EMS quickly for acute changes in HF conditions.

A Retrospective Look at Patient, Procedural, and Follow-up Characteristics Associated With WATCHMAN Implantation
This study used a retrospective design to review data previously collected and entered into the National Cardiovascular Data Registry database. Results During a 2-year period, 41 patients underwent the WATCHMAN procedure at our facility. The most common indication for the procedure in this population of patients with nonvalvular AF on oral anticoagulants was bleeding in the gastrointestinal or genitourinary systems. (Gastrointestinal/genitourinary bleed does not limit candidacy for surgical closure of the LAA.) There was only 1 postprocedure adverse event that included a groin hematoma. A transesophageal echocardiog...

AUDITS: Mnemonical Approach for Atrial Fibrillation With Coronary Artery Disease
Managing anticoagulation therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome and atrial fibrillation requires effective use of risk stratification scores to optimize treatment options while weighing the risk of stroke or systemic thromboembolism vs the risk of bleeding. A mnemonic-based clinical practice pathway is proposed to provide nurse practitioners with a structured approach to managing patients with atrial fibrillation in the context of an acute coronary syndrome. The AUDITS mnemonic represents a simplified treatment guide derived from current guidelines and aims to help nurse practitioners implement best practices to ...
