ABSTRACTObjective: to build up a databank of technical words used in the surgical clinic unit of a public hospital. Method: a survey of the type exploratory-descriptive was conducted by following some methodological vocabulary-building strategies, such as: identification and evaluation of the terminological work; definition of the thematic range of the terminological analysis; construction of a databank domain tree; classification of the theoretical definition of existing terms and the ones that were not found in the ICNP® Version 1.0; and terms validation according to their respective denotations. Results: the 370 terms identified as in use by the University Hospital Surgical Clinic were mapped against the words adopted by the ICNP®, and the result was that 187 terms were found among those employed by the ICNP®, and the remaining 183 were not. These terms were then inserted on to the ICNP® taxonomic tree and duly validated according to their respective definitions by the research team. Conclusion: It has been concluded that the main objective of the present work was achieved with the creation of the Databank of Special Nursing Terms for the Surgical Clinic. One expects that the use of this databank may help the nursing team of the University Hospital to make proper use of their own vocabulary in their daily professional practice. Descriptors: nursing; terminology; vocabulary; surgical nursing.RESUMOObjetivo: construir o Banco de Termos da Linguagem Especial de Enfermagem da unidade de clínica cirúrgica de um hospital público. Método: pesquisa do tipo exploratório-descritiva utilizando-se as etapas da metodologia do trabalho terminológico, tais como: identificação e avaliação da documentação especializada, delimitação do campo temático da análise terminológica, estabelecimento da árvore de domínio das bases de dados; elaboração de definições teóricas para os termos constantes e não constantes na CIPE® Versão 1.0; validação dos termos com suas respectivas definições. Resultados: os 370 termos identificados na Clínica Cirúrgica foram mapeados com os termos da CIPE® resultando em 187 termos constantes e 183 termos não constantes nesta classificação, os quais foram inseridos na árvore taxonômica da CIPE® e validados com suas respectivas definições pelos participantes da pesquisa. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o objetivo do estudo foi alcançado com a construção do Banco de Termos da Linguagem Especial de Enfermagem da Clínica Cirúrgica e espera-se que a sua utilização contribuam para que a equipe de enfermagem do Hospital Universitário utilize seu próprio vocabulário na prática profissional.

The Way

The nature of Quality Assurance is outlined, as well as the range of activities encompassed in a Quality Assurance program. The need to provide occupational therapy personnel with an organizational framework within which to develop the skills to implement a Quality Assurance program is given as the rationale for utilizing a model that focuses on five key areas of professional practice. The model is described, and the way it has facilitated the Quality Assurance program in the Occupational Therapy Services Department of the University Hospital, London, Ontario is discussed. Reference material, useful when implementing a program, is included.

Stenotic Lesions

Background: Haemostatic puncture closure devices for rapid and effective hemostasis after arterial catheterisation are a comfortable alternative to manual compression. Implanting a collagen plug against the vessel wall may become responsible for other kind of vascular injuries i.e. thrombotic or stenotic lesions and peripheral embolisation. The aim of this paper is to report our clinically relevant vascular complications after Angio-Seal® and to discuss the results in the light of the current literature. Patients and methods: We report the symptomatic vascular complications in 17 of 7376 patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic catheterisation between May 2000 and March 2003 at the University Hospital Basel. Results: Most patients presented with ischaemic symptoms, arterial stenoses or occlusions and thrombotic lesions (n = 14), whereas pseudoaneurysms were extremely rare (n = 3). Most patients with ischaemic lesions underwent vascular surgery and all patients with a pseudoaneurysm were successfully treated by ultrasound-guided compression. Conclusions: Severe vascular complications after Angio-Seal® are rare, consistent with the current literature. There may be a shift from pseudoaneurysms to ischaemic lesions.

AbstractResults are presented of the user evaluation of an integrated medical workstation for support of clinical research. Twenty-seven users were recruited from medical and scientific staff of the University Hospital Dijkzigt, the Faculty of Medicine of the Erasmus University Rotterdam, and from other Dutch medical institutions; and all were given a written, self-contained tutorial. Subsequently, an experiment was done in which six clinical data analysis problems had to be solved and an evaluation form was filled out. The aim of this user evaluation was to obtain insight in the benefits of integration for support of clinical data analysis for clinicians and biomedical researchers. The problems were divided into two sets, with gradually more complex problems. In the first set users were guided in a stepwise fashion to solve the problems. In the second set each stepwise problem had an open counterpart. During the evaluation, the workstation continuously recorded the user’s actions. From these results significant differences became apparent between clinicians and non-clinicians for the correctness (means 54% and 81%, respectively, p = 0.04), completeness (means 64% and 88%, respectively, p = 0.01), and number of problems solved (means 67% and 90%, respectively, p = 0.02). These differences were absent for the stepwise problems. Physicians tend to skip more problems than biomedical researchers. No statistically significant differences were found between users with and without clinical data analysis experience, for correctness (means 74% and 72%, respectively, p = 0.95), and completeness (means 82% and 79%, respectively, p = 0.40). It appeared that various clinical research problems can be solved easily with support of the workstation; the results of this experiment can be used as guidance for the development of the successor of this prototype workstation and serve as a reference for the assessment of next versions.

Abstract:The sharing of knowledge worldwide using hypermedia facilities and fast communication protocols (i.e., Mosaic and World Wide Web) provides a growth capacity with tremendous versatility and efficacy. The example of ExPASy, a molecular biology server developed at the University Hospital of Geneva, is striking. ExPASy provides hypermedia facilities to browse through several up-to-date biological and medical databases around the world and to link information from protein maps to genome information and diseases. Its extensive access is open through World Wide Web. Its concept could be extended to patient data including texts, laboratory data, relevant literature findings, sounds, images and movies. A new hypermedia culture is spreading very rapidly where the international fast transmission of documents is the central element. It is part of the emerging new “information society”.
