    Sammanfattning : Background: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries and hence constitute a large public health problem. Cardiovascular drugs are used in an effort to prevent (e. g. blood pressure lowering drugs (BPLD) and lipid lowering drugs) and palliate (e. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Sources of preanalytical error in primary health care : implications for patient safety

    Författare :Johan Söderberg; Christine Brulin; Ewa Idvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood specimen collection; haemolysis; medical errors; phlebotomy; preanalytical; primary health care; quality indicators; quality of health care; questionnaires; specimen handling; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi; medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background Venous blood tests constitute an important part in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. However, test results are often viewed as objective values rather than the end result of a complex process. This has clinical importance since most errors arise before the sample reaches the laboratory. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Improving venous blood specimen collection practices : method development and evaluation of an educational intervention program

    Författare :Karin Bölenius; Christine Brulin; Kjell Grankvist; Johan Söderberg; Ewa Idvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Education; Experiences; Guideline adherence; Haemolysis; Intervention; Patient safety; Phlebotomy; Practical skills; Preanalytical errors; Primary healthcare; Questionnaires; Reliability and validity; Venous blood specimen collection; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: About 60%–80% of decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment are based on laboratory test results. Low adherence to venous blood specimen collection (VBSC) guidelines may lead to erroneous or delayed test results, causing patient harm and high healthcare costs. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Safety and biological aspects of present techniques of haemodialysis

    Författare :Per Jonsson; Hans Dietrich Polaschegg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :haemodialysis; safety; leakage current; central dialysis catheter; microbubbles; microemboli; air contamination; transfusion medicine; transfusionsmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Haemodialysis (HD) is a treatment in which blood from the patient is lead through a tubing system into a dialysis device in a extracorporeal circuit. This circuit contains semipermeable membranes (dialyzer). Blood with uraemic toxins flows on one side, and a salt solution flows on the other side. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Blood exposure in health care : health care workers' and patients' experiences

    Författare :Ulla-Britt Lymer; Barbro Isaksson; Bengt Richt; Vivi-Anne Sundquist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Blood-exposure; needle-stick; compliance; universal precautions; balancing; quaIity care; nursing; patients conceptions; grounded theory; phenomenography; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to describe and analyse health care workers' blood-exposure incidents, protective measures, and the motives behind decision making about risks and protective measures. The aim was also to procure knowledge about patients' conceptions about their care, and if precautions taken by the health care workers were included in quaiity care. LÄS MER
