A Quality Improvement Pilot Project for Noise Reduction in the NICU.
Increased noxious noise leads to adverse short-term and long-term effects on the growing neonate. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends maintaining a noise level of less than 45 decibels (dBA)... The purpose of this pilot project was to reduce the average noise levels by 39% at the end of an 11-week period.... The location of the project was in a large, high-acuity level IV open-pod layout NICU that consisted of 4 pods, one of which was cardiac-focused. The average baseline noise level in the cardiac pod wa... At the end of the project, noise levels decreased from 62.6 dBA to 54 dBA, a 13.7% reduction.... At the end of this pilot project it was noted that: Online modules were the best way to educate staff. Parents should be included in the implementation of quality improvement.

Diagnostic Adjunct Techniques in the Assessment of Hypovolemia: A Prospective Pilot Project.
Measuring the hypovolemic resuscitation end point remains a critical care challenge. Our project compared clinical hypovolemia (CH) with three diagnostic adjuncts: 1) noninvasive cardiac output monito... Adult trauma/surgical intensive care unit patients were prospectively screened for suspected hypovolemia after acute resuscitation, excluding patients with burns, known heart failure, or severe liver/... 44 patients (62% male, median age 60) yielded 65 measures. Positive agreement with CH was 47% for NICOM, 37% for US-IVC and 10% for US-C. None of the three adjuncts correlated with CH (κ -0.045 to 0.0... None of the adjunct measurements correlated with CH or each other, highlighting that fluid status assessment remains challenging in critical care. US should assess for right ventricular dysfunction pr...
A hospital to community exercise referral pathway: results of a pilot project.
People living with chronic disease should ideally engage with community-based exercise services following hospital-based rehabilitation. However, transition from hospital to community exercise setting... The aims of this study were to develop and explore the feasibility of a pilot exercise referral pathway between an acute hospital and community gyms for patients with chronic health conditions and to ... A stakeholder-informed exercise referral pathway was developed and offered to patients following completion of a hospital-based exercise programme for a chronic health condition. The pathway was evalu... Forty-nine people living with chronic conditions (mean age 72 ± 7.8 years) participated (recruitment rate 59%). The average number of community gym visits over 4 months was 17.4 (range 0-51). Twenty-n... A structured exercise referral pathway to support exercise transition between hospital and community settings in populations with chronic health conditions appears feasible. Participants reported high...

Web-based chlamydia education for university students: A pilot project.
Chlamydia disproportionately affects individuals aged 15-24 years. A lack of chlamydia knowledge in this high-risk group likely contributes to decreased testing, but interventions to increase chlamydi... A pre- and post-test design was used to evaluate participant knowledge of chlamydia before and after completing a nurse-developed web-based education intervention designed for university students.... Forty-seven undergraduate students at one U.S. university participated. A focus group and scientific evidence informed the development of the web-based education.... Participants had a significant increase in chlamydia knowledge after completing the online educational intervention (M = 8.0, SD = 0.000) compared to baseline (M = 6.5, SD = 1.5), t(33) = -5.821, p < ...
