1. Researchers from John Hunter Hospital Report Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Pneumonia (Fasting Vs. No Fasting Prior To Catheterization Laboratory Procedures: the Scoff Trial).

Abstract

Researchers from John Hunter Hospital conducted a study comparing fasting versus no fasting prior to cardiac catheterization procedures. The study aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of a no-fasting strategy for patients undergoing these procedures. Results showed that no fasting was non-inferior and superior to fasting in preventing complications such as aspiration pneumonia, hypotension, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia, with improved patient satisfaction scores. The research supports removing fasting requirements for patients undergoing these procedures. [Extracted from the article]

2. Findings from Alfred Hospital Yields New Findings on Atrial Fibrillation (Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation By Pulmonary Vein Isolation With or Without Left Atrial Posterior Wall Isolation: Long-term Outcomes of...).

Abstract

A study conducted at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, investigated the long-term outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The study compared the effectiveness of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone versus PVI with left atrial posterior wall isolation (PWI) in reducing atrial arrhythmia recurrence. The results showed that the addition of PWI did not significantly improve freedom from atrial arrhythmia recurrence at long-term follow-up. The study also found that AF burden remained low and AF-related quality of life remained high with either ablation strategy. [Extracted from the article]

3. Baker Heart and Diabetes Research Institute Reports Findings in Atrial Fibrillation (Sex-specific outcomes after catheter ablation for persistent AF).

Abstract

A recent study conducted at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Research Institute in Victoria, Australia, examined the impact of gender on outcomes in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent catheter ablation. The study found that women had lower arrhythmia-free survival rates at 12 months compared to men. However, both men and women experienced significant improvements in quality of life and psychological well-being after the procedure. Women reported more severe baseline anxiety and AF-related symptoms, but showed comparable improvements in psychological symptoms compared to men. Despite higher arrhythmia recurrence and repeat procedures in women, the AF burden was comparably low for both sexes. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Aim To develop clinical practice guidelines for nurse-administered procedural sedation and analgesia in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Background Numerous studies have reported that nurse-administered procedural sedation and analgesia is safe. However, the broad scope of existing guidelines for the administration and monitoring of patients who receive sedation during medical procedures without an anaesthetist present means there is a lack of specific guidance regarding optimal nursing practices for the unique circumstances where nurse-administered procedural sedation and analgesia is used in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Methods A sequential mixed methods design was used. Initial recommendations were produced from three studies conducted by the authors: an integrative review; a qualitative study; and a cross-sectional survey. The recommendations were revised according to responses from a modified Delphi study. The first Delphi round was completed by nine senior cardiac catheterization laboratory nurses. All but one of the draft recommendations met the predetermined cut-off point for inclusion with 59 responses to the second round. Consensus was reached on all recommendations. Implications for nursing The guidelines that were derived from the Delphi study offer 24 recommendations within six domains of nursing practice: Pre-procedural assessment; Pre-procedural patient and family education; Pre-procedural patient comfort; Intra-procedural patient comfort; Intra-procedural patient assessment and monitoring; and Postprocedural patient assessment and monitoring. Conclusion These guidelines provide an important foundation towards the delivery of safe, consistent and evidence-based nursing care for the many patients who receive sedation in the cardiac catheterization laboratory setting.
