Journal ArticleDOI
Making Choices: Why parents present to the emergency department for non-urgent care.
TL;DR: The accuracy of “parental triage,” that is, parents assess their child’s health and generally engage in appropriate care-giving and care-seeking behaviours before presenting to a paediatric emergency department, was displayed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogel dressings for treating pressure ulcers
TL;DR: It is not clear if hydrogel dressings are more or less effective than other treatments in healing pressure ulcers or if different hydrogels have different effects, and most trials in this field are very small and poorly reported so that risk of bias is unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanistic causes of peripheral intravenous catheter failure based on a parametric computational study.
Russell Piper,Russell Piper,Peter J. Carr,Peter J. Carr,Lachlan J. Kelsey,Lachlan J. Kelsey,Andrew C. Bulmer,Samantha Keogh,Samantha Keogh,Barry J. Doyle,Barry J. Doyle,Barry J. Doyle +11 more
TL;DR: CFD is used to investigate typical PIVC parameters and report the hemodynamic environment within the vein and catheter, and suggest limiting excessive infusion rates, demonstrating how several controllable factors impact important mechanisms of PivC failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varied flushing frequency and volume to prevent peripheral intravenous catheter failure: a pilot, factorial randomised controlled trial in adult medical-surgical hospital patients
Samantha Keogh,Samantha Keogh,Julie Flynn,Julie Flynn,Nicole Marsh,Nicole Marsh,Gabor Mihala,Karen M. Davies,Karen M. Davies,Claire M. Rickard,Claire M. Rickard +10 more
TL;DR: Neither increased flushing volume nor frequency significantly altered the risk of PIVC failure, but female gender, hand/posterior wrist placement and episodes of access (flushes and medication) may be more important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protocol‐directed sedation versus non‐protocol‐directed sedation to reduce duration of mechanical ventilation in mechanically ventilated intensive care patients
Leanne M. Aitken,Tracy K Bucknall,Bridie Kent,Marion Mitchell,Elizabeth Burmeister,Samantha Keogh +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of protocol-directed sedation management on the duration of mechanical ventilation and other relevant patient outcomes in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients was assessed and the role of bias was examined to examine the level of evidence for this intervention.
