  • UCANP: Urinary Catheter Alleviation Navigation Protocol Quality Improvement Project by Angela Floyd, Paula K. Robinson, Lisa Cohen, and Princetta Morales

    UCANP: Urinary Catheter Alleviation Navigation Protocol Quality Improvement Project

    Angela Floyd, Paula K. Robinson, Lisa Cohen, and Princetta Morales

    Introduction: Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) can place significant financial burden on healthcare facilities, decrease quality of care and increase length of stay. Reducing indwelling urinary catheter days reduces the risk of a CAUTI. Current practice after catheter removal includes the reinsertion of the catheter if the patient demonstrates three episodes of urinary retention that requires intermittent urinary catheterization. Intermittent urinary catheterization, when implemented appropriately, has proven to... Read More

  • Phenobarbital Therapy for Alcohol Withdrawal by Mariah Foster, Karen Zastrow, Gay Alcenius, R.J. Dressel, and Erin Muller

    Phenobarbital Therapy for Alcohol Withdrawal

    Mariah Foster, Karen Zastrow, Gay Alcenius, R.J. Dressel, and Erin Muller

    For the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS), phenobarbital works differently than benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines activate only gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) whereas phenobarbital has the additional mechanism of inhibiting glutamate receptors. In the absence of alcohol, GABA receptor numbers are increased, and glutamate receptors are decreased causing withdrawal symptoms. By giving phenobarbital, we are counteracting both receptors. This mechanism is associated with less agitation and delirium then what is typically seen... Read More

  • Outcomes Associated with Using the Identification of Seniors at Risk (ISAR) Score to Determine Geriatric Evaluations of Trauma Patients with Hip Fractures by Taylor K. Long, Stephanie D. Booza-Gierman, and Lauren Turner

    Outcomes Associated with Using the Identification of Seniors at Risk (ISAR) Score to Determine Geriatric Evaluations of Trauma Patients with Hip Fractures

    Taylor K. Long, Stephanie D. Booza-Gierman, and Lauren Turner

Many older adults who sustain a hip fracture will not return to their baseline function and may even require nursing home placement for additional care (Rubenstein & Josephson, 2006). Henry Ford Macomb Hospital (HFMH) is a community teaching hospital... Read More
