Use of drape/patient covering during potentially aerosolizing procedures

Factors Influencing Radiation Use During Fluoroscopic Procedures

Potentially problematic postures during work site keyboard use.

OBJECTIVE We described the frequency and distribution of keyboard users' potentially risky postural behaviors. METHOD Forty-three participants' keyboard postural behaviors were rated with the Keyboard-Personal Computer Style instrument (Baker & Redfern, 2005). The frequency and distribution of keyboard postural behaviors and the associations and differences between the right and left sides we...

Potentially unintended discontinuation of long-term medication use after elective surgical procedures.

BACKGROUND Transitions between health care settings represent vulnerable periods for medical error. Discontinuation of long-term medication use may occur during discharge from the hospital to the community. METHODS We performed a population-based, cohort study using administrative records from Ontario, Canada, between April 1, 1997, and September 30, 2002. We studied all residents 66 years an...

Characterization of a Vortex Shaking Method for Aerosolizing Fibers.

Generation of well-dispersed, well-characterized fibers is important in toxicology studies. A vortex-tube shaking method is investigated using glass fibers to characterize the generated aerosol. Controlling parameters that were studied included initial batch amounts of glass fibers, preparation of the powder (e.g., preshaking), humidity, and airflow rate. Total fiber number concentrations and a...
