The impact of the use of continuous pulse oximetry monitoring to monitor patients at high risk of respiratory depression on nursing practice.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo describe the impact on nursing practice of using continuous pulse oximetry monitoring to monitor patients at high risk for respiratory depression after surgery.
designA convergent mixed method design.
methodsThirty (30) hours of non-participant structured observation and explanatory interviews were conducted with 10 nurses from the surgery care unit and intensive care unit.
resultsWe found that nursing practice to evaluate and monitor at-risk patients through continuous pulse oximetry monitoring is mainly linked to technical care. Nurses generally meet the frequency of bedside monitoring required by established protocols. During the structured non-participant observation periods, it was observed that 90% of the alarms were false (unsustained desaturations). This was confirmed by the nurses during the explanatory interviews. Noisy environments, high number of false alarms, poor communication between nurses and various operational failures might have a negative impact on nursing practice.
conclusionSeveral challenges must be overcome for this technology to achieve the desired outcomes of continuous surveillance and rapid detection of respiratory depression episodes for post-surgical patients. No Patient or Public Contribution.
