ATS 2012, SAN FRANCISCO Nighttime intensivist physician staffing in intensive care units (ICUs) with a low-intensity daytime staffing model is associated with reduced mortality, according to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference in San Francisco. The same study showed that nighttime intensivists were not associated with reduced mortality among ICUs that used a high-intensity daytime staffing model.

Intensivists are physicians that are specially trained in the care of critically ill patients. Previous studies show mortality is lower in ICUs in which intensivists manage or co-manage patients during the day (so-called "high-intensity" ICUs), while mortality is higher in ICUs with optional or no intensivist involvement (so-called "open" ICUs). This finding has led many hospitals to expand the intensivist presence in their ICUs, to the point of hiring intensivists to work around the clock.

"The role of 24-hour intensivist staffing as a means of improving healthcare quality has stimulated considerable debate, but is not well-studied," said Jeremy Kahn, MD MS, associate professor of critical care medicine and health policy and management at the University of Pittsburgh. "Our study indicates that 24 hour intensivists are likely to improve patient outcomes only in some circumstances. ICUs with low-intensity daytime staffing, the most common staffing model in the United States, have better outcomes when intensivists are also present at night. Nationally two-thirds of ICUs have no intensivists at night, so expanding the role of intensivists in these ICUs could translate into improved healthcare quality."

"Equally important, we found that ICUs with high-intensity daytime staffing did not share the same benefit from nighttime intensivists," said Kahn. "These ICUs, which frequently already have residents and other trainees in the ICU at night, saw no mortality reduction from the addition of night-time intensivists. This shows that the movement to expand intensivist presence in these hospitals may be premature, especially since intensivists are in relatively short supply."

The research team studied 65,752 patients admitted to 49 ICUs in 25 hospitals participating in the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) clinical information systems in 2009-2010.

Of the 49 ICUs studied, 12 had nighttime intensivist coverage. Among ICUs with low-intensity daytime staffing, nighttime intensivist staffing was associated with lower odds of risk-adjusted hospital mortality (odds ratio, OR: 0.62; p=0.04). Among ICUs with high-intensity daytime staffing, nighttime intensivist staffing was not associated with any risk-adjusted mortality benefit (OR: 1.08; p=0.78). Similar relationships were observed in several pre-specified subgroups, including patients with active treatment on admission, mechanically ventilated patients, patients admitted at night, patients with the highest severity of illness and septic patients.

"Interest in24-hour intensivist staffing has grown from the observation that daytime intensivist-staffed critical care units are associated with improved patient outcomes," said Dr. Kahn. "In light of this finding, the critical care community, hospitals, insurance providers and legislators have struggled with the issue of staffing expansion, as empirical evidence of additional benefit from nighttime coverage is limited to two single center studies that had mixed results. This investigation is the first large multi-center study of well-characterized patients and ICUs to address this important question."

Dr. Kahn also noted that intensivists may be associated with benefits that were not measured and might also reduce mortality for a small number of very sick patients such as those in severe shock or cardiac arrest. "Reducing mortality is only one reason to adopt 24-hour intensivist staffing," Kahn said. "Hospitals wishing to invest in a nighttime intensivist might still do so in order to improve care at the margins, even if no impact is discernable for patients on average."

Abstract 31340
Nighttime Intensivist Staffing And Mortality In Critically Ill Patients
Type: Scientific Abstract
Category: 04.07 - ICU Management/Outcome (CC)
Authors: D.J. Wallace1, D.C. Angus2, A.E. Barnato2, A.A. Kramer3, J.M. Kahn2; 1University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine - Pittsburgh, PA/US, 2University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine - Pittsburgh/US, 3Cerner Corporation - Kansas City/US

Rationale

Many hospitals are introducing 24-hour intensivist physician staffing as a strategy to improve intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes. However, the degree to which nighttime intensivists are associated with improvements in ICU quality is unknown.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of ICUs participating in the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) clinical information systems in 2009-2010, linking a survey of ICU staffing practices with patient-level outcomes data from adult ICU admissions. Nighttime intensivist staffing was defined as an intensivist attending physician who is physically present or in the hospital and immediately available for ICU emergencies during nighttime hours. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess the multivariable relationship between nighttime intensivist staffing and inpatient mortality among ICU patients. We separately analyzed ICUs with and without high intensity daytime staffing, defined as either a mandatory intensivist consult or a closed ICU model. The association between nighttime staffing and hospital mortality was additionally assessed in five pre-specified patient subpopulations we hypothesized a priori most likely to benefit from the presence of an in-house intensivist at night.

Results

The final analysis included 65,752 patients admitted to 49 study ICUs in 25 hospitals nationwide. Participating hospitals were diverse in number of beds, number of ICUs, academic status and geographic region. Twelve ICUs (24%) had nighttime intensivist coverage. For ICUs without nighttime intensivists, nighttime models included residents (67.7%), non-intensivist physicians (13.5%), nurse practitioners (2.7%) or dedicated clinicians (16.2%). ICUs with nighttime intensivist coverage were similar to ICUs without nighttime staffing. In ICUs with low-intensity daytime staffing (24% of total), nighttime intensivist staffing was associated with a lower odds of risk-adjusted hospital mortality (OR: 0.62; p=0.04). Among ICUs with high-intensity daytime staffing, nighttime intensivist staffing conferred no risk-adjusted hospital mortality benefit (OR: 1.08; p=0.78). The same relationship between nighttime staffing, daytime staffing and mortality was observed in all subgroup analyses .

Conclusions

In APACHE ICUs the addition of nighttime intensivist staffing to a low-intensity daytime staffing model is associated with reduced mortality. However no additional mortality benefit was seen in ICUs with high-intensity daytime staffing. Although nighttime staffing appears beneficial in some settings, ICUs with high-intensity daytime staffing should not adopt 24-hour staffing with the expectation of a mortality benefit.

Sigmoidoscopy an option for colon cancer screening -Colon ...

Screening for colon cancer using a flexible tube - which is less invasive and more convenient than colonoscopy - may also help prevent new cases and deaths from the disease, a new study suggests.

In a large trial of more than 150,000 older U.S. adults, those who were randomly assigned to get screened using so-called flexible sigmoidoscopy on two different occasions were 21 percent less likely to get colon cancer than those not offered the screening.

They were also 26 percent less likely to die of cancer, probably because screening picked up pre-cancerous lesions and early-stage cancers before they could cause serious harm, researchers reported Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Colonoscopy ?is a very unpleasant thing,? said Dr. Alfred Neugut, an epidemiologist and oncologist from Columbia University in New York, who wasn?t part of the study team.

?Sigmoidoscopy is a much less elaborate procedure, so you can basically walk into the doctor?s office and get it on the spot? and it?s much less invasive,? he said.

Screening Saves Lives
Colorectal cancer almost always develops from precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) in the colon or rectum. Screening tests can find precancerous polyps, so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best.

When Should I Begin to Get Screened?
You should begin screening for colorectal cancer soon after turning 50, then continue getting screened at regular intervals. However, you may need to be tested earlier than 50 or more often than other people if?

- You or a close relative have had colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer.
- You have inflammatory bowel disease.
- You have genetic syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer.

Speak with your doctor about when you should begin screening and how often you should be tested.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy is one of three colon cancer screening methods recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government-backed body that sets screening guidelines.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy

Flexible sigmoidoscopy utilizes a flexible sigmoidoscope, a flexible, fiberoptic viewing tube with a light at the tip. It is inserted through the anus and is used by the doctor to examine the rectum and the part of the colon adjacent to the rectum. It is a shorter version of a colonoscope. Approximately 50% of colorectal cancers and polyps are found to be within the reach of a flexible sigmoidoscope. It is recommended that individuals of average risk for colon cancer undergo a flexible sigmoidoscopy examination at age 50 and every 3-5 years thereafter. If polyps are found during a flexible sigmoidoscopic examination, a colonoscopy to examine the entire colon is recommended to remove the polyps as well as to find and remove additional polyps in other parts of the colon. The removed polyps are examined by a pathologist under a microscope to determine if the polyps are benign, malignant or pre-cancerous. Individuals with precancerous polyps (adenomas and villous adenomas) have a higher than average risk of developing colon cancer, and it is recommended that they return periodically for surveillance colonoscopies.

The Task Force says that annual fecal occult blood testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years with fecal testing every three years or colonoscopy every 10 years are all options for adults aged 50 to 75 at average risk of cancer.

But many Americans in that age group still don?t get screened - and one of the reasons may be the discomfort of preparing to get a colonoscopy, including taking laxatives, and the inconvenience and invasiveness of the procedure itself.

What is the best colon cancer screening test?
Colonoscopy is the only method that has a high sensitivity for all polyps - small and large - and that can remove them during the procedure. CT colonography or virtual colonoscopy can miss small or flat lesions but has the advantage of being less invasive. It still requires a complete bowel cleansing prior to the procedure. If an abnormality is seen during virtual colonoscopy, a colonoscopic examination will still be needed to verify the finding or for polyp removal. Other, newer screening procedures include testing for abnormal DNA in the stool or the combination of a flexible sigmoidoscopy and a barium enema. The barium enema is suggested if colonoscopy is not available. However, for the removal of polyps, there is only one procedure that is currently useful, and that is colonoscopy.

Are colorectal screening tests done by your general practitioner or should they be done by gastroenterologists or other experts?
There are several types of colorectal cancer screening tests. Fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) are usually provided by your general practitioner for you to take home and then return to the laboratory for development and analysis. Flexible sigmoidoscopy, which evaluates the lower third of the colon with an endoscope, is performed by some but not all general practitioners. Colonoscopy is a more extensive endoscopic evaluation of the entire length of the colon and is generally done by gastroenterologists or other gastrointestinal specialists. Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening by the American Cancer Society and many more professional organizations. It is highly recommended that your primary care provider refer you to a board-certified gastroenterologist or endoscopist to have the test done.

The new findings provide more evidence that sigmoidoscopy as an initial test - followed by colonoscopy only in the case of positive findings - may be a valid alternative, researchers said.

The data come from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial, which compared new cases of cancer and cancer-related deaths in adults who did or didn?t get different types of screening.

Mississippi State Rep Brags About Stopping Legal Abortion

Just last month, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed a law that would require doctors who perform abortions in their state to also have admitting privileges in a local hospital ? basically, another restriction on abortions.

Mississippi legislators are actively making it impossible to seek out a safe and legal abortion in their state. But what did State Rep. Bubba Carpenter have to say about it? What did he think about the women he would inevitably force into unsafe situations?

The video has since been removed by the GOP but the soundbyte lives on:

(Wait, the video is back up!)

?It?s going to be challenged, of course, in the Supreme Court and all ? but literally, we stopped abortion in the state of Mississippi, legally, without having to? Roe vs. Wade. So we?ve done that. I was proud of it. The governor signed it into law. And of course, there you have the other side. They?re like, ?Well, the poor pitiful women that can?t afford to go out of state are just going to start doing them at home with a coat hanger.? That?s what we?ve heard over and over and over.

?But hey, you have to have moral values. You have to start somewhere, and that?s what we?ve decided to do.?

Moral values?! Perhaps he should try taking his own advice.

news: What Is Mobistealth & Why Every Suspicious Spouse Should ...

MobiStealth spy phone software is an cell phone monitoring app that is used to spy on cell phones using the Android OS. MobiStealth spy software can be installed on any Android device that has an internet connection. Once installed, MobiStealth starts to silently record certain cell activities.

The way MobiStealth Android spy phone software works, is that a person must download MobiStealth's Android spy software straight into the Android cell. This is done via the Android's web browser. After MobiStealth's spy software is installed, the app becomes undetectable and straight away starts to silently record a range of info (call logs, SMS messages, GPS locations), browser & web bookmark history, and then secretly uploads all of the information to a web web account.

The individual that installed MobiStealth can now log into their account, and view all of the events recorded on the Android cell.
Here's a list of cell phone activities that are recorded by this software.

* Secretly Record Calls - Available only on GSM networks, this MobiStealth Android spy feature enables you to secretly tap cell phones & record all calls made from/to specific numbers on the Android phone. The recorded calls are then uploaded to your online.

* On Demand Room Monitoring - This cool MobiStealth Android spy app feature will enable you to remotely record all conversations and sounds within a certain proximity of the Android phone. To use this spy feature, you simply send a secret SMS to the target's cell phone that you have installed MobiStealth, which will then trigger the recording to start. Once complete, the recording will be uploaded to your online account.

* Secretly Grab Pictures & Videos - This is one of my favorite features of MobiStealth. This Android spyware feature (only offered by MobiStealth), will enable you to secretly view and view all the photos and videos that are on your target's Android mobile.

* Stealth GPS Tracking - With GPS tracking, you can anonymously track the GPS coordinates of an Android user's mobile. Locations are recorded and uploaded in predefined intervals, giving you a detailed picture where the Android user is.

* Recover & Read removed SMS messages - All texts that are received or sent from the Android cell phone are recorded. This means even if the SMS text messages are deleted straight after being read, the Android spy phone software will continue to be transmit each text message, and give you the ability to read the whole contents of each text message. In summary, MobiStealth is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to retrieve text messages.

* View Call History Logs - This MobiStealth spy phone software feature will enable you to read all the inbound and outgoing call history logs of the cell phone. As well as recording inbound and outbound call info, the name stored in the cell's contact list that is associated to the number in the call logs (and SMS messages messages) will be displayed.

Why would someone decide to use a product like MobiStealth? There are numerous situations why someone would want to use Android spy phone software, these include any of the following :

* Catch A Suspected Cheating Spouse: Potentially one of the most important reasons why someone purchases this type of app is to secretly spy on their spouse or partner. Perhaps they are concerned that their spouse isn't where they announced they are or they want to see what messages are being sent late at night when suddently "the boss calls" or similar kind of situation. With Android spy phone software, a worried partner can instantly see if their partner is indeed being loyal. Computer spy software has been about for a long while, but now that communication is being shifted away from PCs, and towards mobile phones, there hasn't been a method to secretly spy on your spouse's cell phone and see what they are really doing, until now. If you are looking for cheating spouse software to catch a cheater, MobiStealth should be on the top of your list.

* Monitor Teen Mobile Use: For moms and dads who worry about their teen's cell use, or desire a way to track their children in case they suddently cannot be found, mobile spy phone software is a perfect choice. Perhaps they worry about their teen is involved in a prohibited activity, or parents need a way to track their teens to guarantee their teenager is where they are supposed to be, with Android spy software, all of this is possible. Now with the surging popularity of DROID cell phones among teens, buying DROID spy is a great way to keeep a watchful eye on them.

* Employee Monitoring: Android spy software could also be used to watch cell phone use on company provided devices. In certain industries, more client communiction is occuring on mobile phones thru texts. Without knowing what's being related and / or not having the ability to have a record of the communication may be in violation of compliance rules and regulations. Also, in the event of a potential lawsuit, not having past records of particular client communication may put the company in peril. With this type of software installed on company provided cell phones, companies can record notes of such activity.

* Personal Back Up : With enhanced functionality of mobile phones, data storage is rapidly becoming a concern. During the past, there wasn't any simple way to backup your call logs or SMS text messages. Using this kind of software can do all of these things without requiring you to recollect to perform a "back up" of your info. Android cell phone spy software will back up all of your texts & call logs, so you never need to worry about not having a crucial text message or look for a vital number that was accidently deleted.

To summarize, MobiStealth is a monitoring application that is used for a variety of reasons to spy on an Android cell user. Although some of them might not be seen as "appropriate" in everybody's eyes, it's up to the person who purchases the software to decide the best use of the software based on their particular situation.
