Back To Work

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and their implications will play a fundamental role in the phased re-introduction of clinical dentistry post COVID-19. These SOP documents will continually be updated as new scientific rationales emerge. Each individual SOP will have key themes dictating how dental appointments are managed, emanating from the initial work of Peng et al (2020). This article provides a snapshot into how some countries are adapting to the changes, and demonstrating the wide variances seen. The article is intended to draw parallels between how each country is responding differently to prevent undue transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the dental setting. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Those involved with implementation of emerging SOPs into their clinical practice will be required to understand why these new protocols are necessary and how they will act to prevent viral transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

The article emphasizes the need to develop and apply standard operating procedures (SOP) as an instrument of quality management system of rational pharmacotherapy in primary care practice. To justify the reasonability of SOP implementation into outpatient clinical practice pharmacoepidemiologic analysis of the quality of care provided to patients with stable coronary artery disease in the primary care setting of Moscow over two consecutive periods was used. tte key variables of interest were characteristics that reflected physician adherence to clinical practice guidelines.

Oxygen Monitoring

Abstract Background Although many studies emphasize the importance of using oxygen saturation (SpO2) targets in the NICUs, there is a wide variability in used saturation ranges among centers. Primary aim was to draw a representative picture on how the management of oxygen monitoring is performed in the Italian NICUs. Second aim was to identify healthcare-professionals related factors associated with oxygen targeting in the preterm population. Methods Cross-sectional study with data collection via an electronic survey form. A questionnaire containing pre-piloted and open questions on monitoring and management of the SpO2 was administered to neonatologists across the network of the Italian Society of Neonatology. The questions focused on: the infrastructure, specific training, healthcare professionals and patients-related factors. The results of the survey were anonymously collected, summarized and analyzed. Results Out of 378 questionnaires, 93 were correctly filled. Thirty-six different SpO2 ranges were observed. Centers using written standard operating procedures on oxygen management and SpO2 monitoring maintained a correct average range of SpO2 90–95%, avoided hyperoxia and reconsidered saturation targets in relation to comorbidities. 39.8% of responders disabled alarms during neonatal care. One center used biomarkers for complete monitoring of neonatal oxygenation status. Conclusions There is considerable variation in SpO2 targets for preterm infants in the Italian NICUs. Standard operating procedures and specific training for health care personnel are the main factors playing a role for the correct maintenance of the recommended oxygen targets in preterms.

AbstractObjective:To report the results of our preintervention investigation and subsequent 19-month three-phase intervention study designed to reduce pyrogenic reactions among patients undergoing cardiac catheterization using reprocessed catheters.Design:A case-control study for the preintervention period and a prospective cohort study for the intervention period.Setting:A 400-bed hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.Participants:Any patient undergoing cardiac catheterization in the hospital.Interventions:Three intervention phases were implemented to improve the quality of the water supplied to the cardiac catheter reprocessing laboratory. Standard operating procedures for reprocessing cardiac catheters were established and reprocessing staff were trained and educated.Results:The rate of pyrogenic reactions decreased significantly during the intervention phases, from 12.8% (159 of 1,239) in phase 1 to 5.3% (38 of 712) in phase 2 to 0.5% (4 of 769) in phase 3 (chi-square test for linear trend, 97.5;P< .001).Conclusion:Improving water quality and using standard operating procedures for reprocessing catheters can prevent pyrogenic reactions in hospitalized patients.
