Using research-based interventions to decrease patient falls.

The purpose of this study was to decrease patient falls by applying relevant interventions found in the nursing research literature. Clinical nurse specialists assisted staff with the application of selected research-based patient fall program interventions on two adult medical-surgical specialty units in a tertiary care facility. The fall rate on these two units decreased during the study year, while the all-hospital patient fall rate increased. To encourage comparison of fall data among institutions, a standard method for calculating fall rate is presented.

Accidental Falls

Multiplanar (MPR) imaging of the hip.

Multiplanar CT expands the ability of the radiologist to define the extent of disease, to suggest appropriate surgery, and to offer a probable prognosis.

Multiplanar imaging of the hip: a systematic approach.

Computed tomography has become an invaluable adjunct for the evaluation of musculoskeletal pathology. Although the transaxial image presentation has distinct advantages over conventional radiography, the ability to reformat the acquired data into coronal, sagittal, or oblique planes contributes to a more thorough understanding of complex anatomy such as that of the hip joint. This article reviews our experience with a series of over 500 hip cases using the multiplanar reformatting and display [MPR/D] package developed for use on the Siemens Somatom DR-3 scanner.
