Discussion regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation and admission to an intensive care unit is frequently fraught in the context of older age. It is complicated by the fact that the presence of multiple comorbidities and frailty adversely impact on prognosis. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and mechanical ventilation are not appropriate for all. Who decides and how? This paper discusses the issues, biases, and potential harms involved in decision-making. The basis of decision making requires fairness in the distribution of resources/healthcare (distributive justice), yet much of the printed guidance has taken a utilitarian approach (getting the most from the resource provided). The challenge is to provide a balance between justice for the individual and population justice.

Extremely Premature Infant

The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is, inherently, a trauma environment for the extremely premature infant. This trauma is often exacerbated by nurse caregiving practices that can be modified and still remain effective. Our study explored how behavior analytics could be used to implement an intervention known as Care by Cues and how the intervention might, ultimately, impact infant physiologic stability.

Aim. To describe a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) with ocular involvement treated with topical ophthalmic cyclosporine.Case Presentation. A 20-year-old woman developed TEN following administration of carbamazepine that was prescribed for epilepsy. Ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral pseudomembranous conjunctivitis. She was hospitalized in the intensive care unit and treated with intravenous corticosteroid and immunoglobulin. Topical cyclosporine was used in combination with topical corticosteroids for ocular surface disease. Following two months of ocular treatment, she recovered without any severe ocular complication. Ocular examination at the four-month followup showed a 2 mm of symblepharon in the lower fornix as the sole pathologic finding.Conclusion. Topical ophthalmic cyclosporine may contribute to decrease the ophthalmic complications of TEN and should be considered in the acute stage of the disease.

It is a descriptive study with quantitative approach that analyzed 151 medical records of patients admitted to an ICU, from September 2014 to February 2015, whose 48 hour and discharge notes were evaluated. Data revealed notes with poor content, which did not express the patients’ situation, nor the nursing care provided. Data concerning date, time, and patient identification were adequate. However, the COREN number and the professional’s signature raised concern given the high percentage of non-compliance regarding ethical and legal aspects. Nursing notes did not reflect the severity of patients, nor the dynamics in the ICUDescriptors: Adolescent, Nursing, HospitalizationADOLESCENTE EN PERSPECTIVA DE LOS PROFESIONALES DE ENFERMERÍAComprender la óptico del profesional de enfermería de hospitalización de los adolescentes.
