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.

The impact of Goodreads and Amazon reviews
by wilson90matt＠gmail.com 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

In today’s digital publishing world, reviews on Goodreads and Amazon play a pivotal role in the success of any book marketing campaign. They don’t just influence potential readers—they shape an author’s visibility, credibility, and even their ranking in online marketplaces. ⭐ Why Goodreads Reviews Matter Goodreads, owned by Amazon, is the largest social platform specifically designed for readers. It’s where serious book lovers go to discover their next read, join reading challenges, and follow authors. Early Buzz: Goodreads allows authors to collect early reviews before a book’s launch. These advance reviews build anticipation and trust. Algorithm Influence: Highly rated and reviewed books often appear in Goodreads recommendations, reading lists, and newsletters. Community Power: Engaging with Goodreads groups or hosting giveaways can organically increase the number of reviews, supporting your overall book marketing strategy. 🛒 The Power of Amazon Reviews Amazon is not just a bookstore—it’s a search engine. Reviews here carry weight in both customer decisions and how Amazon ranks your book. Purchase Decisions: Many readers read Amazon reviews before buying. A book with 50+ reviews (even mixed) looks more trustworthy than one with only 5. Search Visibility: Books with more reviews tend to rank higher in Amazon’s search results, making them more discoverable through organic traffic. Marketing Leverage: Positive Amazon reviews can be quoted in press releases, social media promotions, and ad creatives, giving your book added social proof. 🎯 Book Marketing Tips to Maximise Review Impact: Launch Team: Build a team of early readers who agree to leave reviews on both platforms upon release. Follow-Up Campaigns: After the initial launch, continue your book marketing efforts with automated email sequences asking readers to leave honest reviews. Review Excerpts: Use your best reviews on landing pages, Amazon ads, and social posts. Avoid Review Spamming: Always seek genuine feedback and never offer incentives that violate platform guidelines. In essence, both Goodreads and Amazon reviews serve as powerful tools in your book marketing @ https://britishbookpublishing.co.uk influencing not just readers, but also algorithms. Smart authors and publishers integrate review-building into their promotional timeline right from day one.
