Abstract

Highlights

Gaps in addiction medicine training are a reason for poor substance use care in North America [1]
This study indicates the Paediatric Anaesthesia Model of Care (PAMoC) has not been effectively implemented in non-specialist Irish public hospitals, with comparatively high fasting times [2] and unplanned admissions [3] highlighting an area for future study and quality improvement to deliver the best quality anaesthesia care for children in Ireland
As lockdowns pose a dilemma to governments worldwide due to the widespread effects of these measures, obtaining appropriate information concerning the transmissibility and the behavior of the disease is crucial in order to guide the removal of lockdowns across different fields and regions

Summary

Introduction

Gaps in addiction medicine training are a reason for poor substance use care in North America [1]. Hospital addiction medicine consult services (AMCS) provide critical medical services, including screening and treatment of substance use disorders (SUD) [2]. Inappropriate NOAC doses lead to less favourable outcomes in relation to thromboembolic events and death [3] This project aims to determine the degree of compliance with Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant (NOAC) dosing standards and to implement a computerised NOAC dosing aid to reduce the occurrence of inappropriate NOAC dosing in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients. 18% patients eligible to receive the standard daily dose of apixaban were prescribed a reduced dose (n=8). A computerised dosing aid was designed to improve compliance with dosing recommendations and prompt prescribers to arrange renal function and bodyweight testing reminders for NVAF patients (Figures 3, 4). We decided to undertake a review to see if the presentations to the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) of road traffic trauma related injury had changed
