Article Abstract
Involvement of companions is a critical aspect of patient-centered care. This retrospective cross-sectional study examined patients who were asked, by utilizing electronic medical record (EMR) preset questions (SmartPhrase template), if they wanted another individual called during the assessment and plan portion of an ophthalmology visit. Of 518 patients, 14.5% wanted another individual called. New patients as well as those who needed procedural or surgical intervention were more likely to want a companion called. Adoption of a SmartPhrase template within clinical workflow may be a feasible and effective method to increase communication with companions of physically unaccompanied patients and promote patient-centered care.

Department of Medicine, Cardiovascular Medicine, Stanford University, Stanford, California.
Importance: Consumer wearable technologies have wide applications, including some that have US Food and Drug Administration clearance for health-related notifications. While wearable technologies may have premarket testing, validation, and safety evaluation as part of a regulatory authorization process, information on their postmarket use remains limited. The Stanford Center for Digital Health organized 2 pan-stakeholder think tank meetings to develop an organizing concept for empirical research on the postmarket evaluation of consumer-facing wearables.

Cardiac arrest response and management is a critical piece of prehospital clinical practice yet the majority of these patients do not survive to be transported. Termination of resuscitation and resulting death notification is stressful and emotional for both loved ones and EMS clinicians. We describe a fundamental shift from traditional termination of resuscitation to a patient and family-centered model.

Aim And Background: This study investigates the impact of D3 lymph node dissection extent on postoperative bowel function and nutritional status in patients undergoing radical surgery for right-sided colon cancer. Given that postoperative diarrhea can significantly affect the quality of life, we examined whether dissection boundaries influence these outcomes.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized controlled trial conducted at a high-volume tertiary hospital.
The Contribution of Anesthesia Management to Childbirth-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Case of Trauma After Denied Neuraxial Analgesia, Unmet Expectations and Remifentanil Labor Analgesia.

Childbirth-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CB-PTSD) can arise even after low-risk deliveries. This case report describes a 35-year-old woman who, despite a medically uncomplicated vaginal birth, developed severe CB-PTSD after being denied neuraxial analgesia and receiving remifentanil-PCA (remi-PCA) to manage pain. Her distress stemmed from inadequate pain relief, dissociation, and loss of control, exacerbated by unmet expectations for epidural analgesia.
