Implementation of the protocol of nursing care in trauma in aeromedical service

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the implementation of a nursing care protocol for trauma patients before, during and after the flight. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study carried out in an aeromedical service, using a checklist with 106 care: 79 before flight, 25 during, and 2 after flight. 97 patients were included in the study. Results: Most care (n = 59; 55.7%) was implemented, totaling 4,435, 1,480 and 192 cares performed before, during and after the flight, respectively. They stood out as unrealized care: protect ears with ear muffler (n = 55) and avoid leaving the pulse oximeter exposed to the sun’s rays (n = 22). The main reason for the non-performance was lack of appeal (n = 94). Conclusion: Although most protocol care has been implemented, unrealized care compromises the quality of care, which requires the management of the service to provide more incentive to nurses and adequate resources for its implementation.

Melhoria da qualidade do atendimento ao paciente traumatizado: um estudo quase-experimental

“…As análises evidenciaram que o modelo de ciclos de melhoria adotado, bem como as ferramentas de qualidade, são ferramentas potencialmente úteis para avaliar e melhorar este tipo de atenção. Este tipo de intervenção pode ser potencialmente útil para outros serviços de saúde interessados na melhoria deste tipo de paciente, corroborando induções da Organização Mundial de Saúde para que os serviços de saúde adotem estratégias e métodos de melhoria da qualidade (Schweitzer et al, 2020).…”

Space Nursing for the Future Management of Astronaut Health in other Planets: A Literature Review

“…However, the primary purpose of the nursing profession is to provide help wherever it is needed [8]. This perspective opens up opportunities for expanding the role of healthcare during astronaut launches [38], space travel, and destinations to improve human adaptation to outer space [8,39].…”

“…The integration of technology into nursing practice is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery [39]. Information technologies, such as telehealth, are becoming increasingly important in providing healthcare services in remote and dangerous locations with limited access to medical care [1,21].…”

“…Nurses play a critical role in delivering preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic care to individuals living and working in isolated and extreme conditions, including closed environments, Antarctica excursions, Martian analogs (Fig. 3), scuba diving, and space exploration [39]. In space, nurses are and will continue to be key components in providing preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic care on the ISS, orbiting bases, the Moon, and Mars [9,15,21,37].…”
