We describe two cases of secondary prevention subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S‐ICD) implantation and subsequent S‐ICD electrode displacement which initially went undetected. One presentation was a result of a coincidental chest x‐ray for respiratory exacerbation and another with an untreated episode highlighted via remote monitoring, both patients were booked to clinic for further investigation. Our findings highlighted had there been a comparison of the existing subcutaneous electrogram (S‐ECG) to captured S‐ECGs at time of implant the electrode displacement would have been detected beforehand. This underpins the importance of introducing the simple management strategy into routine follow‐up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective is to describe home patient care plans after myocardial revascularization (MR) based on the Mid-Range Nursing Theory for Cardiovascular Rehabilitation (TMA Enf-RCV). This is a multiple case study in which data collection was performed at the home of seven patients in the postoperative period of MRI, in Sobral-Ceará, between June and December 2019. The information collected was organized in individual reports and then, joint analytical synthesis was performed. The assessment of rehabilitating behavior and stimulus for cardiovascular rehabilitation (CVR) involved physiological adaptive problems, self-concept, role performance and interdependence, with 50% of nursing diagnoses focusing on problems and being associated with the physiological mode and 57% of health promotion diagnoses were related to self-concept mode. The nursing rehabilitation intervention included the promotion of physical exercises, encouragement of the patient and family in care, education about adaptive strategies, psychosocial support, among others. This study supports the applicability of TMA Enf-RCV as an effective intervention for CVR with a focus on quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Intestinal stomas have a significant impact on people's quality of life. However, these should be reversed after gastrointestinal transit has been restored or the initial inflammatory response has gone. In addition, patients may refuse to reverse them due to a lack of information and guidance from healthcare professionals. Therefore, it is important to identify nursing interventions in caring for patients with stoma reversal. Materials and Methods: An integrative literature review was conducted in WOS, PubMed, Scopus, SciELO and Cochrane databases published between 2015 and 2020. 36 articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria with their methodological analysis. Results: The following nursing interventions were identified: preoperative assessment, bowel preparation and follow-up of comorbidities in the preoperative period; prophylaxis, skin preparation, surgical technique and abdominal wall closure in the intraoperative period; surgical wound care, quality of life and education in the postoperative period. Discussion: It is essential to reflect on reversal time, surgical technique and the importance of nursing interventions. Conclusions: Nursing plays an important role in stoma reversal not only because of physical care and education provided, but also the interventions applicable to social and emotional contexts affecting the patient's lifestyle.

Objective: To describe prenatal and post-natal clinical features of neonates born from mothers with COVID-19 including 14-day follow-up post discharge. Methods: Case series of neonates attended at Hospital Guillermo Almenara born from mothers infected with COVID-19 during the lockdown implemented by the Peruvian government. Neonates were divided in two groups based on positivity of the nasopharyngeal PCR test. Results: 201 pregnant women with COVID-19 diagnosed by rapid tests who delivered 206 neonates were identified; 4 of these neonates had positive nasopharyngeal PCR tests. Pregnants infected with COVID-19 were younger than non-infected, but no differences were observed in route of delivery, sex of the newborn and body weight at birth. Two hundred and five neonates were discharged one week after birth ;181 neonates with negative nasopharyngeal negative PCR tests and 4 neonates with a positive PCR test were followed for 14 days, none presented symptoms and received mixed lactation. Conclusions: Neonates born from mother infected with COVID-19 had minimal risk of getting the infection and their pre and post-natal development will not be affected despite of having a positive PCR test.

Recurrent glioblastoma is a common problem faced by neurologists, neuro-oncologists, neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons due to the poor response to therapy schemes. We present a series of cases of 15 patients with recurrent glioblastoma diagnosis without surgical and / or radiotherapeutic interventions, patients with aged between 18 and 75 years (average of 55 years) treated with combined therapy bevacizumab and cyclophosphamide after refractoriness to other treatment regimens. Chemotherapy, during the follow-up period was observed a progression-free time between 6-21 months, average of 9 months and survival of 9.3 months with a low degree of toxicity during follow-up considering this scheme as an alternative therapeutic option.

Objective: Determine adherence to treatment among hospitalized patients with heart failure, following the implementation of an educational plan to promote self-care. Method: A quasi-experimental study (nurse-patient interviews) was carried out between December 2004 and May 2006 with a convenience sample of 50 patients. An instrument was designed to assess the patients' behavior based on a set of adherence results and their respective NOC indicators (Nursing Outcomes Classification). Adherence to treatment was measured at two points in time: the first during hospitalization, followed by application of the educational plan prior to release, which provided information on management of the patient's illness from a physical, psychological and social perspective that promotes self-care; and the second, one month after release, in the patient's home. Results: Statistically significant differences (P=0.0001) showing how total adherence to treatment can be achieved by training the patient to manage his/her pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, by establishing a healthy relationship between the nursing professional and the patient, and by involving the family. Conclusions: An educational process, coupled with continuous, personalized follow-up that motivates the patient and makes him/her aware of their leading role in the care and management of their illness is necessary for total adherence to treatment by a patient with heart failure.

INTRODUCTION: Variability in medical practice can detect deficiencies in medical care quality. This study was designed to determine variations in psychiatric practice by studying short-term rehospitalization (SRH) that could result in differences in quality of psychiatric care. METHODS: Data on 894 consecutive admissions to an inpatient unit from March to December 2001 were collected. Readmissions over the next 90 days or less (SRH) were analyzed. The database was reviewed in order to extract information about several variables: age, gender, period from the first admission, number of previous admissions, interval between initial discharge and readmission, psychiatric diagnosis, aftercare provided by the mental health centers (MHC) and psychiatrist-associated variables. Differences between SRH and the other admissions were examined. RESULTS: There were significant variations in the aftercare provided by the MHC (p = 0.028). There were also variations in the psychiatrist responsible for the inpatient unit (p = 0.03), in the reference psychiatrist in a MHC (p = 0.007), but not in the emergency unit. CONCLUSIONS: This short-term rehospitalization study showed variations in quality of aftercare and in psychiatrist associated variables. Both these findings warrant further investigation that pays specific attention to staff attitudes, system barriers and facilitators of psychiatric care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
