Exploring the scope of communication content of mechanically ventilated patients

Abstract: Ineffective communication during mechanical ventilation (MV) and critical illness is distressing to many patients. This study aimed to describe the scope of communication content of ventilated critically ill patients. We performed a prospective qualitative interview study in a multidisciplinary intensive care unit. Ten alert, orientated adult patients who previously underwent MV for at least 24h and were able to speak at the time of interview were recruited. Semi-structured interviews with stimulated recall technique were conducted. A descriptive thematic analysis was performed of the patient-generated content using a free coding technique, where recurrent themes and subthemes were noted, coded and analyzed. Patients' communication content included medical discussions with clinicians communication with family to provide advice or comfort, make requests and plans, express feelings and convey personal perspectives on medical care and expression of their own psychoemotional needs. The scope of communication content of ventilated ICU patients was broad, extending far beyond task-focused subject matter. Content ranged from conveying symptom-related messages to active participation in medical discussions, to conversing with family about a range of complex multi-dimensional issues, to sharing their own psychoemotional experiences. These patient-centered needs should be recognized and addressed in communication strategies.
Comparison of high-flow nasal cannula versus oxygen face mask for environmental bacterial contamination in critically ill pneumonia patients: a randomized controlled crossover trial
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 2019
DOI: 10.1016/J.JHIN.2018.10.007
Abstract: Whereas high-flow nasal cannula use is gaining prevalence, its high gas flow raises concerns about aerosolization of infectious particles and spread of infection. This randomized controlled crossover non-inferiority trial (N = 20) evaluated the degree of environmental contamination by viable bacteria associated with the use of high-flow nasal cannula compared with conventional oxygen mask for critically ill patients with Gram-negative pneumonia. The results show that high-flow nasal cannula use was not associated with increased air or contact surface contamination by either Gram-negative bacteria or total bacteria, suggesting that additional infection control measures are not required.
