Alarm Configuration in Intensive Care Units of a Corporate Hospital
Authors: - VIJAYA RUDRARAJU , - MANIZA FATIMA
Published: May 2024

In intensive care units (ICUs), inappropriate alarm configuration practices pose significant challenges to patient safety and healthcare providers. The current practices lack standardized guidelines, resulting in excessive alarms and alarm fatigue, where healthcare providers become desensitized and may miss critical events. The absence of standardized protocols and ineffective alarm prioritization exacerbate the problem. The present study aims to understand the various alarm configuration practices in the Intensive Care Unit and to proactively evaluate the limitations of clinical alarm systems management. It focused on identifying reasons for the occurrence of nuisance and false alarms, factoring in the proportion of these unnecessary alarms, and chalking out measures to reduce these false and nuisance alarms.
After months of ICU observation, Alarm desensitization, and Alarm fatigue came out to be eminent issues in the functioning of an Intensive Care Unit. The clamor of alarms has been demonstrated to hinder patient recovery, lengthen stays, have a poor impact on patient satisfaction, and cause patient anxiety, sleep difficulties, delirium, elevated blood pressure and heart rates, and immune system deterioration. Therefore, fewer alerts and a simpler alarm configuration procedure can aid in better patient outcomes. The response to all alarms is imperative but false and nuisance alarms make it challenging for the nurses to differentiate and respond to genuine alarms. The study focused on identifying reasons for the occurrence of nuisance and false alarms, factoring in the proportion of these unnecessary alarms, and chalking out measures to reduce these false and nuisance alarms. This included a checklist to monitor the alarms in ICUs on a daily basis for various equipment including cardiac monitors, ventilators, dialysis machines, syringe pumps, and infusion pumps. These were monitored for around 5 hours a day and the analysis revealed most of the equipment especially cardiac monitors giving out false and nuisance alarms. A pre-assessment questionnaire was made to assess the knowledge and perception regarding clinical alarms for nurses. The analysis revealed that 40% of nurses could not differentiate between false and nuisance alarms.

Marma are the vital points of the body where Prana resides & is the site where conglomeration of Mamsa, Sira, Snayu, Asthi & Sandhi occurs. According to Acharya Charak, Marma are the points where extensively pain felt & this is the site of Chetana. Acharya Sushruta said that at Marmasthana Prana resides while according to Vagbhatta, Marma is that place where abnormal pulsation and pain on touch found. Nadi are the energy channels that carry the Prana & transfer Prana from one point to another point. Nadi originates from the Kanda to their respective termination point or orifices of the body. Chakra is the transformer of Prana from where Prana frequency increases & decreases. On the Sushumna nadi the point where Ida & Pingala nadi meets is the location of different Chakra in a spiral form i.e Muladhara chakra, Swadisthana chakra, Manipura chakra etc. Prana is the key connecting point between Marma, Nadi & Chakra as Marma is the Adhisthana of Prana, where the Nadi are the energy channels that carries the Prana & at Chakra Prana is found in concentrated form which circulates Prana in different parts of the body.

Authors: - Ms Shweta Mishra , - Ms Aaisha Sipi , - Ms Athira Menon
Published: May 2024

Screen time has become an important topic for research in the past few years as it has a significant impact on a person’s mental health and overall development. There is a moderate positive correlation between screen time and attention span (Chakraborty & Nautiyal, 2023). Its influence on attention span is crucial for individuals to study so policymakers, educators, and psychologists can advocate for balanced screen time management for sustained attention (Chakraborty & Nautiyal, 2023). Studies have also found that excessive screen exposure can lead to attention deficit problems in children (Zimmerman & Christakis, 2007). Another Hadar and Eliraz (2015) study showed that more attention deficit-like behaviour was found in individuals who are high smartphone users. Excessive use of Instagram also showed a high positive correlation with a person’s phubbing behaviour (Santos et al., 2023). This research paper explores the impact of screen time and the use of Instagram on phubbing behaviour, social isolation and attention control. The variables were measured using 1) the Phubbing Scale (PS-8): a measure developed by Roberts and David (2016), to assess the extent of the habit of snubbing someone in favour of a mobile phone; 2) the UCLA Social Isolation Scale: a measure developed by Russell (1996), to assess subjective feelings of loneliness and social isolation; 3) Attention Control Scale (ACS): measure developed by Derryberry and Reed (2002), to assess an individual's ability to control their attention and focus in various situations. Data from 100 individuals was collected and analysed using linear regression. Results are in progress and will be discussed in detail in the paper.

Exploring the Nexus of the Rights of Undertrial Prisoners in India with Emphasis on the BNSS(Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita) 2023, and the United Nations' Role"
Authors: - Sayani Pal , - Prof. Dr. Anil Kumar Dixit
Published: May 2024

In India persons who are detained in jail while awaiting trial on criminal charges are referred to as under-trial prisoners.. How does a system that claims to be equitable and justifiable explain denying freedom to its people based on the presumption of ‘innocent until proven guilty’? An efficient criminal justice system must unavoidably guarantee that those who are accused get a fair trial for the crimes they are allegedly guilty of. This article looks forward to embracing the adaptation of a new approach towards prolonged incarceration in jails to recognize the rights of undertrials by analyzing the proposed changes under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023. In a comparable situation to the indigents wealthy people are impoverished to secure their freedom so why does the system of bail create prejudice based on economic discrimination? This article highlights the rights of undertrial prisoners mainly on humanitarian grounds internationally on the roles of the United Nations that enshrined the Right to personal liberty and the right to equality related to non-discrimination based on economic grounds. Because different groups have objectively different social ideals and social behaviours, the poorest and least fortunate members of society typically pay a disproportionate part of the socioeconomic consequences of crime.

A Study For: Socio-cultural Environment and the Microinsurance
Authors: - Abhishek Kumar
Published: May 2024

The poor are much more exposed to the dangers from their surroundings. They live in unhealthy environment where even proper sanitation is not available. Natural calamities like floods, drought, earth quake etc. hit them the hardest. An unfortunate event like Illness or death in the family can change the living standard of the poor for the worse. Cost of medical care being prohibitive, s/he consumes lots of (already diminished) resources from the family. Since they do not have adequate savings, such an episode drives them to either sell their assets or borrow money from local money lenders at high interest rates. According to World Health Organization report (2006), out of total health expenditure in India, 73% happens through out-of pocket spending. This is a very precarious situation as it exposes the poor household to sudden spurt in unplanned and unexpected medical expenses. So, how do we ensure that the poor, or the ‘excluded’ face this ever-threatening risk to their lives and livelihood? Insurance as a concept was introduced in 19th century to do exactly that - protect the poor! But over a period of time, it became a financial tool for the rich. Affordability being one of the prime reasons but exposure and access being other important reason for low penetration in this segment.

Is the Role of Judges and Ideas About Justice Relevant in the Exercise of Interpretation?
Authors: - Ritvik
Published: May 2024

The role of judges and ideas about justice are undeniably relevant in the exercise of interpretation within legal systems. This abstract explores the significance of judges' roles and justice concepts in interpretation, shedding light on their impact on judicial decision-making and legal outcomes. Judges, as impartial arbiters of the law, are tasked with interpreting statutes, regulations, and precedent to resolve disputes and administer justice fairly. However, their interpretations are inevitably influenced by their personal beliefs, values, and understandings of justice, shaping the outcomes of cases and the development of legal principles. Moreover, ideas about justice, such as fairness, equity, and societal values, inform judges' interpretations and guide their application of legal principles to specific cases. The tension between legal formalism and judicial discretion underscores the complexity of interpretation, as judges balance the need for consistency and predictability with the demands of justice and fairness. Ultimately, the role of judges and ideas about justice play a crucial role in the exercise of interpretation, shaping legal reasoning, judicial decision-making, and the evolution of the law.
