Library Research Topics
In this assignment, the following topics will be searched in the CINAHL database. Please remember to make use of the Boolean operators: AND/OR, the use of appropriate subheadings and limiting the search.
Physiologic monitoring and critical care topics:
1) Transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide
2) Accuracy or reliability of pulse oximetry; limitations of pulse oximetry
3) Devices or device comparisons about the accuracy of pulse oximetry
4) Arterial tonometry
5) Infrared emission detection thermometers
6) Gastric tonometry
7) Carboxyhemoglobin, co-oximetry or carbon monoxide with oximetry
8) Oxygen or oxygen therapy protocols
9) Airway pressure release ventilation and capnometry
10) Noninvasive automated blood pressure monitoring (Doppler flow, infrasound, oscillometry, volume clamp)
11) Product evaluations of pulse oximeters
12) Emergency care/ER use of pulse oximeters
13) Pulse oximetry use in acute care
14) Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation
15) Electrical Impedance Tomography
16) Capnography
17) Transpulmonary pressure and esophageal manometry in mechanical ventilation
18) Impulse oscillometry and airway resistance
19) Respiratory mechanics and mechanical ventilation
Assignment objectives:
1. Access a current (less than 4 years old) relevant article and summarize the methodology and results.
***Instructions for your assignment:
1.From the 19 topics above, perform a search on any three of the topics in CINAHL that would retrieve pertinent articles about your chosen topic.
2.Narrow your search until you have a reasonable listing of approximately 25-50 articles from which to choose (Save this search result).
3.From the narrowed search, select two relevant citations that you would want to review and summarize.
4.Submit the narrowed search citations, the search history, and PDF copies of the two articles you would like to review and summarize to Blackboard. Identify the articles by your preference (1 would be most preferred, 2 would be least preferred.)
NOTE:
1. After your submission is reviewed you will be told which article to summarize (Thus, you are expected to read the articles and not merely summarize the abstract).
2. As part of the summary, in your own words, you would be required to explain at least 1 figure from the article (the figure should be a graph or table). So again, make sure you read the articles.
