Conclusion: Provider practice patterns were positively influenced by use of the protocol.
Neither the network capacity nor the software applications needed to make good use of the protocol materialized fast enough to entice consumers, and the service has largely been a failure, he said.
We hypothesize that more patients will achieve euthyroidism at their postoperative visit with the use of the protocol.
Results: The study showed effectiveness in the use of the protocol reducing time VM.
To facilitate the use of the protocol, an intermediary technician is required.
It would have to be confirmed on a larger cohort and after a longer use of the protocol.
The duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of sufentanil administration, and daily dose of ketamine tended to decrease thanks to the use of the protocol.
Use of the protocol did not appear to reduce overall hospital stay in our cohort or the time taken for recommencing warfarin postoperatively.
Generalising the use of the protocol to all patient categories is certainly a good manner to enhance its acceptability and its efficacy.
Therefore, the use of the protocol should be evaluated depending on local resources.
The use of the protocol started as a pilot study in early 2012.
