A multicenter, retrospective observational study was conducted to evaluate patients who received peripheral vasopressors.
There were 198 patients included in the study, of which 142 patients received norepinephrine, 48 patients received phenylephrine, and 8 patients received epinephrine peripherally. Extravasation events occurred in 11 (5.6%) patients. Seven patients required a pharmacologic antidote and 10 patients required a warm compress. No significant differences were seen in characteristics of patients who extravasated compared with those who did not.

Lerbæk, B., Kusk, K. H., Jørgensen, L., & Laugesen, B. (2024). Navigating the Complexities of Nursing Documentation When Patients Have Access to the Content: A Qualitative Study. Journal of advanced nursing. Read Full text
To explore how Danish registered nurses (RNs) in hospitals experience documenting nursing care in electronic patient records when the content is accessible to patients. The findings include three themes: (1) weighing one's words, (2) building trust or triggering conflicts and (3) risking loss of knowledge. Together, these three themes illustrate the complexities that RNs navigate when patients have access to the content of nursing documentation.

While nurses view other interdisciplinary team members as ‘owning’ certain roles and physical spaces within rehabilitation, they also recognised their ‘owned’ spaces and roles. Unique contributions of all team members were valued as necessary to provide holistic, person-centred patient care and positive team-based support.
