    Spontaneous Awakening and Breathing Trial
    Abstract
    Problem & Purpose: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a commonly used life-saving modality in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Sedation is widely used for improved patient MV tolerance. However, evidence shows a link between sedation use and increased MV duration and risk for MV-associated complications. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to implement a paired Spontaneous Awakening Trial (SAT) and Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) protocol in the ICU to promote early extubation and endorse a practice change that includes sedation guidelines and safety screening to identify appropriate candidates for extubation with a goal to reduce MV days. Methods: The QI project was implemented over a three months period on all intubated, MV adult ICU patients aged 18 years and older. Data was collected on monthly MV days, and Standardized Utilization Ratio (SUR) obtained from the infection prevention department as reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), and the percentage of mean staff compliance with the protocol implementation using a manual audit. Results: During the implementation period, the SUR decreased from 0.99 to 0.89, while the MV days increased from 154 to 162, and the percentage of mean staff compliance increased from 3% to 82%. Conclusion: The staff compliance goal was met, but the MV data is inconclusive. Data from the past 24 months have shown a seasonal variance pattern in the MV days and SUR, and there is insufficient data to analyze the impact of the protocol implementation on the clinical site. Barriers that affected the project implementation includes the synchronous merging of the Neuro and the Cardiothoracic ICUs with the hospital relocation during the implementation month.

      Spontaneous Streptococcus pyogenes pelvic inflammatory disease; Case report and review of the literature

      Snyder, A.; Schmalzle, S.A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
      Streptococcus pyogenes gynecological infections generally occur in association with childbirth, intra-uterine devices, and other invasive gynecologic procedures, but rarely cause spontaneous pelvic inflammatory disease. We describe a case of a healthy young woman with spontaneous S. pyogenes pelvic inflammatory disease, bacteremia, and shock, and summarize an additional 13 cases found in the literature. The majority were bacteremic and a significant number were also hypotensive. The same proportion had presenting gastrointestinal symptoms as had genitourinary symptoms, masking the diagnosis in many. Many prior case reports postulate a connection with S. pyogenes pharyngitis in a close contact, and an oro-genital route of transmission has been proposed given the exceedingly low rates of genital colonization with S. pyogenes. A high index of suspicion is needed for an accurate and timely diagnosis of this rare but potentially fatal condition. Copyright 2020 The Author(s)

      Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma: An atypical clinical presentation and discussion of management

      Shah, Jason A.; Patel, Nick N.; Michael, Keith W. (Elsevier Inc., 2020-04-01)
      Introduction: Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a rare but potentially devastating condition if not appropriately identified and managed. A few case series exist regarding SSEH and certain risk factors have been described; however, much continues to be unknown regarding the pathophysiology and optimal management. Case Presentation: We present the case of SSEH in a healthy 33-year-old African American woman with no identifiable risk factors who initially presented with significant neurologic compromise. This case reports discusses pertinent clinical presentation, imaging findings, and surgical management. The patient demonstrated near-complete neurologic recovery, highlighting the need for prompt identification and intervention. Conclusions: We believe this case adds to the limited literature surrounding the topic, particularly in regard to diagnosis and surgical management. It is essential for clinicians to be cognizant of SSEH for timely diagnosis and treatment, even in patients without obvious risk factors. © International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery
