Intraperitoneal Insulin

A review of protocols for the administration of insulin in diabetics during CAPD in the various Toronto hospitals and from two other centers outside Canada show that they are similar but not identical. Toronto Western Hospital, Iowa Lutheran Hospital, Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital and Sunnybrook Medical Center use intraperitoneal insulin exclusively. Toronto General Hospital and the Wellesley Hospital used a combination of intraperitoneal and subcutaneous insulin. Most patients performed four exchanges daily, although some did three only. Nighttime insulin was reduced in most patients. Average insulin requirements were higher when given by intraperitoneal as opposed to subcutaneous injection. There was insufficient data to compare the control achieved with each protocol.

Fiscal matters were analyzed in four specialized programmes of the Department of Psychiatry at the Toronto Western Hospital in order to plan for service and academic activities. The resultant analysis allowed for the establishment of criteria for growth and the evaluation of clinical service performance and goals.

Close Proximity

The Great Western Hospital was opened in 2002. It was built as a PFI hospital, moving services from the old Princess Margaret Hospital situated in central Swindon. The Great Western Hospital is conveniently situated near junction 15 of the M4 and therefore has excellent transport links. The Acute Medical Unit (AMU) was purpose built adjacent to the Emergency Department and in close proximity to Emergency Department Radiology. Details of the Acute Medical Unit layout are summarised in Table 2.

The Social

Drawing on an ethnographic study of teamwork in critical care units (CCUs), this chapter applies Henri Lefebvre’s ([1974] 1991) theoretical insights to an analysis of clinicians’ and patients’ embodied spatial practices. Lefebvre’s triadic framework of conceived, lived, and perceived spaces draws attention to the role of bodies in the production and negotiation of power relations among nurses, physicians, and patients within the CCU. Three ethnographic vignettes—“The Fight,” “The Parade,” and “The Plan”—explore how embodied spatial practices underlie the complexities of health care delivery, making visible the hidden narratives of conformity and resistance that characterize interprofessional care hierarchies. The social orderings of bodies in space are consequential: seeing them is the first step in redressing them.
