Article Abstract

Family-centered care is an important aspect of care in intensive care medicine. But currently there is no agreement about the implementation in intensive care units (ICUs). Specific concepts of palliative medicine and pediatrics offer a good basis, but contents have to be adapted for the field of intensive care medicine. ICUs should formulate and implement a minimum standard based on the goals of shared decision-making, support for relatives in accompanying the patient, and support for the potentially burdened relatives themselves. Related protocols, reportings, and evaluation should be developed. Staff training in family-centered care and liability of provision is of great relevance for the implementation.

Purpose: Expanding high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage in resource-constrained settings is critical to bridging the cervical cancer gap and achieving the global action plan for elimination. Mobile health (mHealth) technology via short message services (SMS) has the potential to improve HPV vaccination uptake. The mHealth-HPVac study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in increasing HPV vaccine uptake among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years in Lagos, Nigeria.

Objectives Background: Monocyte anisocytosis (monocyte distribution width [MDW]) has been previously validated to predict sepsis and outcome in patients presenting in the emergency department and mixed-population ICUs. Determining sepsis in a critically ill surgical/trauma population is often difficult due to concomitant inflammation and stress. We examined whether MDW could identify sepsis among patients admitted to a surgical/trauma ICU and predict clinical outcome.
