Short stay surgery. Present practices, future trends.

One certainty in our cost-constrained environment is that changes in care delivery often occur rapidly, with little time for preliminary study and planning. As we have seen from the past, changes in ambulatory surgical care--though sometimes stressful because of their precipitous nature--are often positive for both patients and providers. For surgical nurses to respond optimally, we must keep abreast of trends and remain open to new ideas.

Influence of age and disease state in nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug associated gastric bleeding.

In our study of 552 acute admissions for gastrointestinal hemorrhage, 18% were found to be taking nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) at the time of the bleed; 49% of these were found at endoscopy to have a gastric or prepyloric lesion, compared with 20% of the non-NSAID control group. Prescription data was used to calculate the risk added by age and disease state to the NSAID associated bleeding. We found that patients with chronic inflammatory disease had 2-3 times the expected bleeding incidence, but while there was a definite trend towards an age related risk in older patients, this was not statistically significant.
