Very pleased to share that I’ve started a new role with the Patient Safety Movement Foundation 😊 #patientsafety

DHHS, clinicians say SB 501 brings seclusion and restraint law into federal alignment; committee asks about rules and reporting SB 501 would allow APRNs and physician associates to order seclusion or restraint during a personal safety emergency at designated mental‑health facilities. DHHS counsel and clinical staff told the committee the change aligns state law with CMS standards and that current reporting and review processes stay in place.

New Hampshire is on the brink of empowering advanced practice nurses to act decisively in mental health emergencies with new legislation that could change the landscape of patient care.

Impact of ventilator-associated events on clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients: A retrospective cohort study from a Brazilian ICU Mechanical ventilation is a widely used intervention for critically ill patients in intensive care units. However, it is associated with various complications. The most up-to-date method for monitoring ventilation-related complications is through ventilator-associated events (VAE). The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of VAE and their impact on major clinical outcomes in patients admitted to the intensive care units.

📢 AJIC Update

VAE may be relatively uncommon—but the impact is significant.

🫁 This study finds:
• VAE in 5.6% of ventilated patients
• Longer ventilation & hospital stays
• Worse overall outcomes

The neglected 4th catheter: An suspected outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a kidney transplant ward Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) is one of the important opportunistic pathogens causing nosocomial infections. This study aims to investigate a suspected outbreak of CRPA in a kidney transplant ward.

📢 AJIC Spotlight

Are we overlooking a key infection risk?

🚨 CRPA outbreak in a transplant ward linked to:
• Drainage catheter contamination
• Protocol lapses
• Clonal transmission (WGS confirmed)

Assessment of bacterial contamination on antimicrobial disposable curtains compared to fabric curtains in intensive care unit patients at a university hospital setting Hospital privacy curtains represent high-touch surfaces frequently implicated in the transmission of health care-associated pathogens. This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological efficacy and cost-effectiveness of antimicrobial disposable curtains compared to conventional polyester fabric curtains in an intensive care unit setting.

📢 Hospital curtains can harbor pathogens—but what if we rethink them?

🦠 This study shows antimicrobial disposable curtains:
• Lower bacterial contamination
• Stay below safety thresholds
• Cut costs by ~60%
