Exploring The Netley British Red Cross Magazine: An example of the development of nursing and patient care during the First World War.

Netley Hospital played a crucial role in caring for the wounded during the nineteenth century and twentieth century, becoming one of the busiest military hospitals of the time. Simultaneously, Florence Nightingale delved into the concept of health and developed the theoretical basis of nursing. This research aims to describe the experiences related to nursing and patient care described in The Netley British Red Cross Magazine during the First World War. The analysis displays different nurses' roles and the influence of environmental factors in the delivery of the soldiers' care. There are indications that Nightingale's ideas would have infiltrated the nursing practices and other aspects of the soldiers' recovery at Netley. The history of the Netley Red Cross Hospital shows the theoretical and practical advancement of nursing care towards a holistic approach.

Convective air warming is more effective than resistive heating in an experimental model with a water dummy.

Trauma patients with accidental hypothermia have adverse outcomes when compared with normothermic patients. Studies with a small number of mild hypothermic volunteers suggested that convective warming is more effective than warming with 12 volt resistive heating blankets. In a laboratory study, we compared the warming effectiveness of two electric blankets and convective air warming. The average speed of convective rewarming during anaesthesia in patients is approximately 0.6 degree C per hour. Accordingly, calibration of the dummy was performed with increasing amounts of water during convective warming until we reached a temperature gain of 0.6 degree C per hour. The following warming experiments were performed: 12 volt electric warming blanket (SH6012, Hella); 12 volt electric warming blanket (Thermamed, whole-body blanket); convective air warming (Warm Touch, Mallinckrodt, whole-body blanket). Each experiment was repeated four times. The temperature development was measured and recorded online. Convective warming increased the dummy temperature 0.6 degree C per hour, Thermamed 0.3 degree C per hour (P<0.001 versus convective warming) and two Hella blankets 0.2 degree C per hour (P<0.001 versus convective warming). Our laboratory investigation confirmed the superiority of convective warming over resistive heating. Efforts should be made to incorporate convective warming into the out-of-hospital treatment of trauma patients.

Programa de capacitación para el personal de salud sobre el abordaje y atención integral a adolecentes, en dos maternidades de la ciudad de La Paz, para una atención de calidad y calidez / Program of qualification for the personal of the health on the boarding and integral attention to adolescents, in two maternietis od the city of La paz, for an attention of quality and calidez

En la actualidad en los servicios de salud se brinda la atención a adolescentes, pero la misma no contempla los parámetos de atención integral y diferenciada, muchos de los adolescentes buscan una persona que los oriente, que les encuche y encuentran por el contrario personal que no los atiende y en muchos casos los juzga, factores que los demotiva a un acercamiento positivo y esta información la transmiten a sus pares de edad quienen de forma indirecta desconfían del personal de salud, demostrando de esta manera una atención con poca calidad y calidez, visión que se quiere cambiar. Una información inadecuada y un trato poco cálido son motivo para que los adolescentes no acudan a los centros de salud y que como repercusión de estos sucesos los índices de mortalidad, embarazos adolescentes o indicadores de enfermedades en esta población sean incrementado. En vista de esta situación se plantea realizar capacitación al personal de salud sobre los adolescentes y técnicas de abordaje, mediante un programa cognitivo comportamental sobre la base de y trabajo dinámico e interactivo, de reflexión y construcción con los que se prentende mejorar el nivel de relacionamiento de los adolescentes con elpersoal de salud y mejorar así su calidad de vida. a su vez se pretende mediante el programa de capacitación brindar al personal de salud, educación en el trabjo, aspectos que resalta y mejora su nivel de preparación, obteniendo mayores conocimientos y asu vez mejores resutlados en su práctica labora.
