“…The KIDS SAFE checklist, developed by Ullman and colleagues 68 for pediatric ICU patients focuses on 8 areas that are not covered by other checklists: development needs, infection, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, skin integrity, sedation, analgesia, family, and enteral needs. If future prospective studies could ascertain its effectiveness, this checklist might prove useful in the pediatric ICU.…”

The intensive care unit is a work environment where superior dedication is pivotal to optimize patients' outcomes. As this demanding commitment is multidisciplinary in nature, it requires special qualities of health care workers and organizations. Thus research in the field covers a broad spectrum of activities necessary to deliver cutting-edge care. However, given the abundance of research articles and education activities available, it is difficult for modern critical care clinicians to keep up with the latest progress and innovations in the field. This article broadly summarizes new developments in multidisciplinary intensive care, providing elementary information about advanced insights in the field by briefly describing selected articles bundled in specific topics. Issues considered include cardiovascular care, monitoring, mechanical ventilation, infection and sepsis, nutrition, education, patient safety, pain assessment and control, delirium, mental health, ethics, and outcomes research.

“…Second, the components and contents of the proposed protocol were conceived based on a literature review (Beckett & Kipnis, ; Cornell, Gervis, Yates, & Vardaman, ; Wacogne & Diwakar, ). We decided to use a checklist form for the implementation of the handover protocol because most nurses wanted to use one, and a past study found that a checklist was useful for reducing errors of omission in paediatric settings (Ullman et al., ). Third, a group of experts evaluated the content validity of the checklist contents.…”

“…This study further suggested that guidelines, policies, procedures and tools should be developed to standardize the handover process. Indeed, one study found that a checklist was useful for reducing errors of omission in paediatric settings (Ullman, Long, Horn, Woosley, & Coulthard, ). However, previous reports have predominantly examined change‐of‐shift handover.…”

“…12 Additional checklists have been proposed such as the checklist for identifying inpatient suicide hazards 13 and the KIDS SAFE checklist for use in pediatric intensive care units. 14 These checklists have been proven valuable in enhancing patient safety and the quality of medical care. In the healthcare field, current checklists primarily remain in written form.…”

ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), one main type of acute myocardial infarction with high mortality, requires percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with balloon inflation. Current guidelines recommend a door-to-balloon (D2B) interval (i.e., starts with the patient's arrival in the emergency department and ends when PCI with a catheter guidewire and balloon inflation crosses the culprit lesion) of no more than 90 min. However, promptly implementing PCI requires coordinating various medical teams. Checklists can be used to ensure consistency and operating sequences when executing complex tasks in a clinical routine. Developing an effective D2B checklist would enhance the care of STEMI patients who need PCI. Coronary Intervention,'' a prototype version of a mobile checklist was developed. This study describes the research project and the four phases of the system development life cycle, comprising system planning and selection, analysis, design, and implementation and operation. Face-to-face interviews with 16 potential users were conducted and revealed highly positive user perception and use intention toward the prototype. Discussion and directions for future research are also presented.
