Despite HFOV's attractive advantages in theory, still HFOV is not routinely used in critical care practice. There is a significant knowledge deficit among healthcare practitioners regarding safe and appropriate HFOV application. Adequate training for healthcare providers is required to improve their cognitive knowledge and confidence level for HFOV application. The educational goal for any healthcare organization is to improve employee knowledge, patient care, and organizational productivity. Currently, there is limited research examining the appropriateness and impact of specific educational interventions used to train healthcare employees in the concepts relevant to the use of new approaches of mechanical ventilation. Although there are many educational models available to the healthcare educator, the goal for any instructor is to use a training method or style that is grounded in theory, supported by evidence, relevant, and clear.{{147}} Trainers need a bridge between research and practice, and between teaching and learning.

    Furthermore, in a pre-hospital environment the process of applying knowledge and skills is a key part of a paramedic’s clinical role which often involves a chaotic and unpredictable environment. Throughout their decision making process, paramedics must continuously evaluate and decide the degree to which they are making the correct clinical decisions in relation to a particular patient. (Parson and O’Brien, 2013) Bledshoe et al (2007) wrote that paramedics are often required to formulate clinical decisions based on a number of options, often independently, and in order to do so, paramedics are required to use their clinical experience and knowledge to formulate a clinical decision focused on patient care. Furthermore, paramedics apply clinical experience and independently formulated decisions as they develop and implement a management…

    A study by Dr. Eric Chak in 2011 suggested that NHANEs data on HCV prevalence leaves out a large number of those who are predominately affected by HCV, those are the excluded groups of incarcerated, homeless, nursing home residing, deployed, and hospitalized peoples. While NHANES data usually contains PWID or the drug users targeted by our study, the NHANES survey underestimates the number of people living with HCV because it excludes these groups. So state VHPCs were asked to apply these findings and provide the adjustments for excluded groups for each of their states in comparison to the NHANES survey. Not including Kentucky, 102 million people with HCV were not included in the NHANES data for this region and on average 255.2 people were…

    This past summer, I expanded my medical knowledge by becoming a certified EMT. The course showed me a glimpse into parts of hands-on patient care that I was not exposed to in other settings. The program goals “include educating individuals to integrate the clinical data that they obtain from their medical history, physical examination, and laboratory analysis in order to form a differential diagnosis for the patient condition,” rather than simply relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. This corresponds to my own orientation and experience. In my different volunteer experiences, I have seen all different types of patients, and have seen how different approaches work for different patients.…

    Progressive Mobility in the ICU and Patient Outcomes The traditional standard of care for critically ill patients has long included the premise that patients need to rest and remain immobile (Schweikert et al., 2011). In contrast to this notion, evidence-based practice has shown that when healthcare workers utilize early and progressive mobility of these patients, patient outcomes improve. The length of hospital stay, development of ICU acquired weakness, inflammation biomarkers, and other neuro-muscular effects are all positively effected by interrupting periods of sedation and mobilizing the patient (Winkelman et al., 2015). This is an incredibly drastic shift in mentality and more critical care units are educating and adopting a progressive…

    Clinical alarms are designated to alert the caregivers of potential adverse patient conditions. There have been many shortcomings that have been discussed across the country by performing numerous studies and analyses. According to (Cvach, Dang, Foster, & Irechukwu, n.d.), “ In 2002, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations reviewed 23 reports of death or injury that were related to mechanical ventilation. Nineteen of those events resulted in death, and 4 resulted in coma; 65% were related to alarms.” Also, alarm hazards were identified as the number one risk on the 2008 list of top 10 by the ECRI Institute.…
