June 10th Nursing Grand Rounds with Andrea Toews - ALL WELCOME!
by Diana McMillan 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2025 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [Date: June 10th, 2025, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Central Time Zone-DST Presenter: Andrea Toews, RN, MN, CRE, Respiratory Nursing Clinician, St. Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, MB. Title: The Arduous Passion of Resuscitation Nursing: When the Adrenaline Wears Off.] [A person with long brown hair AI-generated content may be incorrect.] ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/66417353632?pwd=zgubYW2liwrKdDayhjlFJqWesMUhM3.1 Abstract: A qualitative study was conducted to explore emergency room (ER) nurses' experiences of in-hospital resuscitation events and their experiences of clinical event debriefing. Emergency nurses from an urban tertiary hospital located in Western Canada were interviewed on their experiences. Four themes were identified: (1) ER nurses' experiences of resuscitation - 'The adrenaline rush,' (2) ER nurses' experiences post-resuscitation - 'When the adrenaline wears off', (3) ER nurses' perspectives of clinical event debriefing, and (4) ER nurses' recommendations for future practice and resources. Participants described negative psychological consequences resulting from providing resuscitation care, which had profound effects on their personal and professional lives. Participants identified gaps in supportive measures related to providing resuscitation care. Benefits, barriers, facilitators, and recommendations for clinical event debriefing, along with other recommendations for future practice, were identified. Implementing supportive measures for those providing resuscitation care is required for nurse's well-being, and in the best interest of the patients, families, and the healthcare organization.

Nursing Grand Rounds - Tomorrow Noon on Zoom All Welcome!
by Diana McMillan 12 May '25

12 May '25

Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2025 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [Date: May 13th, 2025, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Central Time Zone-DST Presenter: Susan Alcock, RN MN; Research Associate, Department of Radiology, Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB. Title: Safety and effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis for acute stroke patients in the Manitoba TeleStroke Program.] [cid:image002.png@01DBC35B.8C679340] ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/63817319765?pwd=IQ8YlOE3UseIo1CLn3sser6cJq9e9k.1 Abstract: Background: TeleStroke can improve access to stroke care in rural areas. We aim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis in our TeleStroke system. Methods: The Manitoba TeleStroke program was rolled out across 7 sites between November 2014 and January 2019. We retrospectively analyzed prospectively collected consecutive acute stroke patients' data in this duration. The primary outcome was safety and effectiveness measured in terms of 90-day modified Rankin score (mRs). The number of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients receiving thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy [EVT] and process metrics were also analyzed. R/RStudio version-4.3.2 was used (p<0.05). Results: Of the 1,748 TeleStroke patients (age 71 years [IQR 58-81], female 810[46.3%]), 696 were identified as AIS. Of these, 265(38.1%) received thrombolysis and 48(6.9%) EVT. Ninety-day mortality was 53(20.0%) among those receiving thrombolysis and 117(44.2%) had a favorable outcome (mRs ≤2). Of those who received intravenous thrombolysis, 9 patients (4.2%) were found to have symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. The median last-seen-normal (LSN)-to-door was121 minutes and the median door-to-needle, 55 minutes. Conclusion: Intravenous thrombolysis was found to be effective with acceptable safety. TeleStroke improved overall access to stroke care and played an important role in identifying AIS patients eligible for thrombolysis and EVT.
