COMPARISON OF COMPLICATIONS OF MIDLINES AND PERIPHERALLY INSERTED CENTRAL CATHETERS FOR DIFFICULT VASCULAR ACCESS AND INTRAVENOUS ANTIBIOTICS
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Midlines are peripheral vascular devices inserted in the veins of the upper extremity with the tip located at or below the axillary vein. Greater appreciation of complications associated with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and the diffusion of catheter appropriateness criteria has led to expanded use of these devices. However, single center studies comparing […]

PILOT TESTING A BEDSIDE PATIENT SAFETY DISPLAY TO INCREASE PROVIDER AWARENESS OF THE ‘HIDDEN HAZARDS’ OF CATHETERS AND WOUNDS
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and wounds such as pressure injuries are often hidden from view under gowns and sheets – out of sight, out of mind – contributing to prolonged catheter use, infections, delayed interventions, and diagnostic errors for symptoms (e.g., fever, delirium) related to catheters and wounds. We developed and pilot tested a […]

Resident Perceptions of the Educational and Clinical Benefit of a Rapid Response Team at an Academic Medical Center
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Medical training has become increasingly interprofessional with greater emphasis placed on residents working alongside nonphysician providers. Rapid response teams (RRTs) are often led by nurses and thus provide an opportunity to examine the clinical and educational impact of these multidisciplinary interactions on residency training. This study describes resident perceptions of a nonphysician RRT at […]

THE PRESCRIBING CASCADE: APPROPRIATE USE OF BENZODIAZEPINES AMONG HOSPITALIZED GERIATRIC PATIENTS
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Addressing the needs of the geriatric population is critical, as “baby boomers” comprise a larger proportion of hospitalized patients. Hospitalists increasingly care for these complex geriatric patients. The “BEERS Criteria” are evidence-based guidelines that encourage medication safety by describing potentially inappropriate and harmful medications (PIMS) among geriatric patients. BEERS guidelines recommend that with a […]

HELPING END ALL LONELINESS (HEAL): A HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN APPROACH TO ADDRESSING SOCIAL ISOLATION IN AN URBAN SAFETY NET HOSPITAL
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Social isolation and loneliness (SI+L), two largely silent social determinants of health (SDOH), are associated with negative health outcomes such as the increased risk of cardiovascular disease, higher rates of depression, increased hospital readmissions, and increased use of healthcare services. SI+L are also common, with one in five US adults reporting feelings of SI […]

Systemic Mastocytosis — an Introduction to a Rare Hematological Disorder Requiring Careful Diagnostic Planning
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Case Presentation: A 66‐year‐old man without any medical history presented with fatigue, weight loss, and generalized abdominal pain for 3 months. Physical exam revealed splenomegaly. Labs disclosed hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL and platelets of 79,000/μL. CAT scan of the abdomen showed splenomegaly and diffuse lymph node (LN) enlargement. An endoscopic biopsy of the porta hepatis […]

Angiotensin‐Converting Enzyme Inhibitor–Induced Intestinal Angioedema: Rare Adverse Effect of a Common Drug
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Case Presentation: The author reports a 50‐year‐old white female patient with a history of long‐standing, quiescent Crohn's disease who presented to the emergency department with a 1‐day history of severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The patient had a history of segmental ileal resection 15 years ago followed by a well‐controlled Crohn's disease on mesalamine […]

PREVALENCE AND IMPACT OF SOCIAL ISOLATION IN AN URBAN SAFETY NET HOSPITAL
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Social isolation (SI) is a largely silent and unrecognized social determinant of health that has negative health outcomes, including increased mortality, depression, hospital readmissions, and emergency room visits. In addition, a recent study revealed that SI and loneliness (L) are self-reported as often as food and housing insecurity. While hospitals readily work on food […]

“OUT OF THE WINDOW” – PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA 18 MONTHS AFTER A RENAL TRANSPLANT
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old man with significant history of deceased donor transplant (18 months prior to presentation), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, who presented with two weeks of fevers and malaise. His other symptoms included drenching night sweats, shortness of breath, and diffuse pleuritic chest pain, however he denied cough. A recent exposure was a renovation of […]
