“…However, the requirements of minimum equipment must also be addressed. 5 Local emergency nurses engaged in IFT usually experience difficulties in carrying the heavy transport kit. An "all-inclusive" kit with generalisation of contents not only made the kit bulky, but also compromised the efficiency of accompanying staff in accessing equipment from it.…”

Transport kit is a key element to ensure safe inter-facility transport (IFT). The kit was generally reported by transport staff to be heavy and inconvenient in accessing the required items. Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the outcome and the feedback from emergency nurses on the use of a new and lighter nurse-led transport kit (NLTK) in IFT. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in two Accident and Emergency Departments in Hong Kong from 1st January 2008 to 31st March 2008. All cases involving nurse-led IFT were included into the study. Questionnaires for assessing the rating of satisfaction were distributed to the staff after every mission. Results: Eighty-four questionnaires were returned with a response rate of 80.8%. The overall rating on satisfaction before and after the use of NLTK was 14.6±3.0 and 19±3.2 respectively (mean±SD) with statistically significant improvement in terms of its weight, convenience and spaciousness of kit (p<0.05). Conclusion: The new NLTK is more user-friendly than the traditional kit in nurse-led IFT.

Arterial hypertension (AH) is recognized as the most common illness within the group of cardiovascular diseases and the most massive chronic non-infectious disease in the world. The number of hypertensive patients worldwide has reached 1.28 billion, contributing to an increase in cardiovascular diseases and premature death globally. The high prevalence of hypertension emphasizes the importance of effectively treating this condition. Elevated blood pressure often leads to lethal complications (heart failure, stroke, renal disorders, etc.) if left untreated. Considering an increase in AH prevalence in the future, a successful therapeutical approach to this disease and its complications is essential. The goal of AH treatment is to maintain normotensive blood pressure through various approaches, including lifestyle changes, a well-balanced diet, increased physical activity, psychoeducation, and, when necessary, pharmacotherapy. The evolving pharmacotherapeutic landscape reflects the progress made in our understanding of hypertension and emphasizes the need for continuous innovation to meet the challenges posed by this prevalent global health concern. The journey toward more effective and tailored treatments for hypertension is ongoing, and the introduction of new medications plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of antihypertensive pharmacotherapy.
