Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Testing Strategies
Get PDFSmall Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. Symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain and discomfort, malabsorption, nausea, constipation, or diarrhea overlap with several common GI complaints. SIBO affects millions of people worldwide. Many providers are not aware of SIBO or the guidelines that standardize testing and diagnosing.
The Final Scholarly Project (FSP) was based on a literature review that discovered evidence-based literature on SIBO testing strategies such as gut aspirate and culture, clinical symptom presentation, breath testing, nutrient challenge test, and scintigraphy with either lactulose or hydrogen breath testing. To implement the project, pre-educational chart review was conducted in a Functional Medicine Practice where Advanced Practice Nurse’s (APRN) treat patients with SIBO, IBS, and common gastrointestinal (GI) complaints. The pre-educational chart review looked to determine if SIBO testing and diagnosing guidelines were being used in practice. An educational program outlining the evidence-based literature reviewed on SIBO testing and diagnosing and the results of the pre- educational program chart review was collated and shared with the APRN’s at the Functional Medicine Practice. A post-educational chart review was conducted four weeks later to measure compliance with the standards.
The FSP aimed to create SIBO awareness through education and determine if SIBO testing and diagnosing guidelines were being incorporated into practice. The APRN’s in a Functional Medicine Practice were receptive to the educational program offered and interested in implementing SIBO testing guidelines into their practice
Analysis of current practices in prehospital congestive heart failure care and protocol development to prevent readmission.
Get PDFCongestive Heart failure patients have the highest readmission rate within 30 days of discharge placing a significant burden on healthcare costs and quality of life for the patient and families. Community Emergency Medical Services are the first to respond to moderate to severe exacerbation of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients’ calls. Involving Emergency Medical Services in a preventive approach rather than just responding to exacerbation calls has proven to be effective in pilot studies to prevent heart failure readmissions. The purpose of this Scholarly project was to develop evidence-based recommendations for community Emergency Medical Services’ involvement in the management of congestive heart failure patients to reduce the readmission rate. The John Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model (JHEBP) was utilized to fulfill the project aim. Utilizing the model following steps and goals were established 1) Review and analyze the evidence on the current practice of community Emergency Medical Services’ involvement and treatment of congestive heart failure patients. 2) Develop evidence-based recommendations to reduce CHF readmission in the prehospital setting, and 3) Develop a plan to monitor the effectiveness of recommendations. This project was significant because it helped to create evidence-based recommendations for the reduction of CHF readmission in prehospital settings. Although the recommendations could not be implemented due to the limited time frame of the academic timeline, this study can be considered as a starting point for further implementation and study purposes
