Abstract

Background: A medical emergency is a clinical situation that requires immediate and planned treatment to prevent permanent disability or death. It involves sudden, progressive, and often life-threatening disturbances in vital body functions, such as cardiovascular, respiratory, or neurological disorders. The Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS) is a clinical tool used to assess the need for vasoactive and inotropic drugs in critically ill patients. The VIS plays an important role as a prognostic indicator in critically ill patients, with higher VIS scores associated with increased risk of death. Purpose: To evaluate vasoactive-inotropic score for prediction of critical patient mortality. Method: A literature review with the aim of reviewing and evaluating previous research related to the use of VIS in predicting mortality in medical emergency patients using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram method. The search for scientific articles was conducted in October-November 2024 by determining the population/problem, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) method. The database search process was carried out through the Publish or Perish application from PubMed, Scopus, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, and CINAHL. Determination of the article year range was focused on articles from 2018-2024 through keywords consisting of ''inotrope'' AND ''predictor'' AND ''mortality'', ''VIS'' AND ''Patient critical ill'', ''VIS'' OR Predictor mortality, ''VIS'' OR ''ICU''. Results: The Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS) is an effective and practical clinical tool to be used as a predictor of mortality in emergency and critical patients. VIS provides a quantitative picture of the severity of hemodynamic disorders as well as the pharmacological need to maintain the patient's cardiovascular stability. Its use has been shown to be significant in a variety of critical conditions, such as postoperative cardiac surgery, cardiogenic shock, sepsis, and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, where higher VIS values are often correlated with an increased risk of mortality. The accuracy of VIS in predicting mortality risk can be improved through integration with other clinical parameters, such as inflammatory biomarkers and organ dysfunction scores, which provide a more comprehensive picture of the patient's physiological status. Conclusion:  VIS is consistently used as a predictive tool with varying morbidity-mortality thresholds in critically ill patients depending on population size. Factors that influence VIS values ​​include patient demographic characteristics, hemodynamic status, disease severity, and quality of therapy received by the patient.

Abstract

Background: Professionals' knowledge and abilities can be enhanced by the effective and efficient use of technology in BHD training. In order to better study and assess the impact of application-technology based basic life support training techniques on the precision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures, we plan to assess the existing research, which was published between 2014 and 2024. Purpose: To examine application-technology-based basic life support training approaches affected the precision of cardiac resuscitation techniques. Method: A systematic review with article selection guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The systematic review process begins with the formulation of clinical questions relevant to the topic. Before this, the authors establish PICOS criteria, which stand for: P (problem, patient, or population), I (intervention, prognostic factor, or exposure), C (comparison or control), O (outcome), and S (study design). For this article, P: Individuals who received Basic Life Support (BLS) training, I: Technology application-based BLS training method, C: Conventional BLS training method or no app-based training, O: Accuracy in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and S: Randomized controlled trial. The article search was conducted systematically using the keywords: Basic Support" AND "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation" AND "CPR training with application guideline" AND "Conventional CPR training" AND "Accuracy of CPR performance. Results: Basic Life Support (BLS) instruction shows varying effects on knowledge and skills in administering Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Training using applications presents both advantages and disadvantages. One notable advantage is the use of digital platforms to deliver learning materials in a more interactive and dynamic way, thereby increasing trainees’ accessibility to relevant and up-to-date information. Conclusion: That technology-based Basic Life Support (BLS) training applications are effective in improving the accuracy of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Applications featuring real-time feedback, Virtual Reality (VR) simulations, and interactive smartphone guides significantly improve the standard of CPR techniques and chest compressions in comparison to traditional approaches.

Abstract

Background: Cardiac arrest is a critical medical condition that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating, causing the blood circulation to the entire body, including the brain, to stop. This can lead to brain damage or death. Basic Life Support (BLS) training is an essential element in creating a community that is responsive to medical emergencies. The implementation of BLS has been shown to increase the chance of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) in patients experiencing Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) by 40% each year. Purpose: To review and evaluate studies on the use of technology in efforts to improve cardiac arrest management. Method: A systematic literature review study to review and evaluate previous studies on the use of technology to improve cardiac arrest management skills, especially in Basic Life Support (BLS) training. The analysis focused on improving knowledge and skills among health workers and health students. The search for scientific articles was conducted from October-November 2024 using the PICO framework as a guide for article selection. Results: Based on the 6 articles reviewed, the technologies used in BLS training include applications/software, virtual reality (VR), educational games, and video-based learning. Virtual reality with realistic simulations was identified as the most effective medium for improving participants' cognitive and psychomotor skills. Conclusion: Technology plays a significant role in supporting the BLS learning process and improving the quality of medical actions, especially in cardiac arrest management.

Abstract

Background: Visuospatial disorders refer to deficits in attention, exploration, and interaction with the contralateral side of space that cannot be attributed to primary sensory or motor dysfunction. These disorders are usually caused by lesions in the right hemisphere due to cerebral circulation disorders, such as stroke. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has emerged as a noninvasive treatment option for addressing visuospatial deficits. Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of TMS as a therapy for visuospatial disorders in post-stroke patients. Method: This study was conducted using randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TMS with sham treatment for post-stroke visuospatial impairment identified through searches in Google Scholar, PubMed/Medline, Clinical Key, Wiley Online, Science Direct, ResearchGate, and Neurona. A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy of TMS therapy for improving visuospatial deficits in post-stroke patients. Results: A total of 189 studies on TMS were identified with four homogeneous articles finally included in the meta-analysis. The analysis combined visuospatial assessments using the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT), ​​Star Cancellation Test (SCT), Albert Test (AT), and Line Bisection Test (LBT). The meta-analysis revealed significant findings for the MVPT, with a weighted mean difference (WMD) of 2.43 (95% CI: 1.86 to 3.01, p < 0.001). For LBT, WMD was 2.69 (95% CI: 2.04 to 3.34, p = 0.020). Conclusion: The improvements in visuospatial function observed in participants undergoing TMS suggest that TMS may serve as a potential therapeutic option for post-stroke patients with visuospatial impairment.

Abstract

Background: The high physiological demand for an iron in pregnancy depend on both the quantity and quality of diet that a woman takes. Inadequate intake of dietary iron, interference with iron absorption, and or increased demands during pregnancy can lead to iron deficiency anemia. Purpose: To assess the relationship between maternal knowledge and adherence to an iron-rich diet. Method: The study employed cross-sectional design, and the population of the study was pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in three tertiary hospitals of Kebbi State, Nigeria. Data were collected using 20 items researcher-constructed self-administered questionnaire generated from reviewed literatures and based on objectives of the study. Results were presented using frequency distribution and simple percentages. Chi-square statistical tool was used for testing the hypotheses using SPSS Version 27. Results: These data indicate that 12.7% of respondents had a low level of adherence with an iron-rich diet. However, only 39.0% were found to have a high level of adherence. It was revealed that there was a significant relationship between the demographic variables assessed and adherence with an iron-rich diet, p<0.01 except for the age group with a p value<0.05. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the demographic variables assessed and adherence to iron-rich diet in all variables. Suggestions: There is a need for further efforts to educate pregnant women about iron-rich diet with an emphasis on foods that help the body absorb and use iron and foods that reduce iron absorption. Educating pregnant women about all aspects of pregnancy including health promotion and prevention of complications during pregnancy is primarily the role of midwives.

Abstract

Background: A common and complicated side effect of diabetes is diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which frequently lead to chronic wounds that are challenging to heal. Another technique that has gained interest is low-level laser therapy (LLLT), which speeds up the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate how well LLLT aids in the healing of diabetic foot ulcers that are chronic. Purpose: To assess the effects of low-level laser therapy on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers, particularly with regard to ulcer size reduction, pain relief, and overall wound healing. Method: A comprehensive search for English-language full-text studies published between 2015 and 2024 was conducted across a number of databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Randomized controlled trials that assessed the impact of LLLT on diabetic foot ulcers are required for inclusion. Measurements of wound size, ulcer healing progress, and pain reduction were used to analyze the results. Results: The analysis includes seven studies that consistently showed benefits from using LLLT. Significant decreases in ulcer size, better tissue repair, and when comparing the treated groups to the control groups, pain relief was seen. Although different laser parameters, such as wavelengths and dosages, were reported in the research, all of them shown positive outcomes in terms of speeding up wound healing and lowering pain levels related to diabetic foot ulcers. Conclusion: Low-level laser therapy is a useful supplementary technique for promoting the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. Patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers benefit from LLLT by experiencing less pain, faster wound healing, and an overall higher quality of life. To ascertain the optimal laser parameters and assess the long-term efficacy of LLLT in the management of diabetic wounds, more extensive research is necessary.
