Rapid response team characteristics and death among surgical inpatients with treatable serious complications in a North Texas hospital council

Hammer, Jere Thornhill 23 March 2011 (has links)
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine estimated as many as 98,000 patients died each year in US hospitals as the result of medical errors. Five years later, another report estimated 195,000 people died unnecessarily. A recent study of patient safety in American hospitals concluded that 87% of Medicare deaths identified over a three-year period were "potentially preventable." The rapid response team (RRT) has been recommended as an effective strategy for reducing avoidable patient deaths as measured by patient safety indicator #4 (PSI#4), Death among surgical inpatients with treatable serious complications [formerly failure to rescue]. There is no research evidence to support the recommendation. The purpose of this exploratory research study was to describe RRT characteristics, determine RRT penetration, and measure PSI#4 (Death among surgical inpatients) rates among hospitals in a large metropolitan area hospital council. A retrospective, descriptive design was used during analysis of survey data collected from members of the hospital council and secondary analysis of administrative data submitted by the same hospitals to a regional data warehouse. All of the hospitals represented by survey submissions had implemented RRTs. The majority of teams was nurse-led and could be activated by a wide range of hospital staff and family members. The hospitals used evidence-based criteria for RRT activation. There was a downward trend in the regional PSI#4 rate from 2003 to 2008, which was not statistically significant, but may be considered clinically significant. Nurse administrators viewed RRTs as effectively supporting nursing care. This study provided a first look at RRTs in relation to an untested patient safety indicator that measured avoidable patient deaths. More research with a larger sample size with adequate power to support statistical analysis of differences in PSI #4 rates over time will provide evidence regarding relationships among hospital characteristics, RRT characteristics, and avoidable deaths among surgical inpatients. / text

Sjuksköterskors upplevelser av den mobila intensivvårdsgruppen MIG-team och NEWS : En deskriptiv litteraturstudie

Nylén, Gudrun, Persson, Gabriella January 2016 (has links)
Bakgrund: Västvärlden har hög medellivslängd vilket inte bara innebär att människor är friska utan att de också finns många som lever med svåra sjukdomar och stort lidande. I Australien startades den Mobila Intensivvårds Gruppen, MIG-team för att minska dödlighet av akut sviktande patienter, som sedan infördes runt om i världen.   Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva sjuksköterskornas upplevelser av den mobila intensivvårdgruppen (MIG-team) samt National Early Warning Score (NEWS), samt beskriva de inkluderade artiklarnas datainsamlingsmetod.   Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie. De inkluderade vetenskapliga artiklarna söktes fram i databasen PubMed. Elva artiklar inkluderades som svarade på syftet. Artiklarna inkluderade både kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats.   Huvudresultat: Många sjuksköterskor ansåg att kommunikationen var viktig. NEWS – National Early Warning Score sågs som ett viktigt verktyg för att effektivisera patientvården då kommunikationen blev snabb och exakt mellan sjuksköterskan och MIG-team. Detta ökade även patientsäkerheten genom att både hjärtstoppslarm och dödsfall har minskat. Sjuksköterskorna önskar överlag mer utbildning för att stärka den egna kompetensen. Det har påvisats att en del av sjuksköterskorna känner sig osäkra att hantera NEWS samt att de känner sig osäkra vid vilken tidpunkt de bör kontakta MIG-team. Osäkerheten skulle med största sannolikhet minska om de fick tillgång till mer utbildning samtidigt som det skulle stärka teamarbetet kring patienten. Datainsamlingsmetoderna i de inkluderade studierna var ett flertal intervjuer, en observationsstudie och datainsamlingar från olika dataprogram.   Slutsats: Kommunikation har visat sig ha stor betydelse både för att säkerhetsställa patientarbete och främja teamarbete i personalgruppen. Införande av NEWS och MIG-team runt om i världen har visats minska hjärtstopplarm och dödligheten på sjukhus, vilket skulle kunna motivera till ytterligare utbildning för sjuksköterskor i NEWS och MIG-team. / Background: In the west world it is a high life expectancy, which not only means thatpeople are healthy but that they also are many who are living with serious illnesses andgreat suffering. The Mobile Intensive Care Group (MIG team) started in Australia toreduce mortality from acute fragile patients, who then introduced around the world. Aim: To describe the nurse´s experiences of Rapid Response Team (MIG-team), andthe National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and to describe the data collection of theincluded articles. Methods: A literature study with descriptive design. The included scientific articleswere sought out in the PubMed database. Eleven articles were included who answeredthe aim. The articles included both qualitative and quantitative approach. Results: Many of the nurse´s concider that the communication was important. NEWSseen as an important tool to streamline patient care when communication was fast andaccurately between the nurse and the MIG- team. This also increased patient safety,which showed that both cardiac arrest alarm and deaths have declined. Nurses wishgenerally more education to enhance their skills. It has been demonstrated that some ofthe nurses feel insecure dealing with NEWS and that they feel uncertain when theyshould contact MIG -Team. The uncertainty would most likely decrease if they hadaccess to more education while it also would strengthen the teamwork around thepatient. Data collection methods in the included studies were several interviews, oneobservational study and data collection from various data programs. Conclusion: Communication has proved to be very important both to the collateralpatient work and promote teamwork in the personnel group. Introduction of NEWS andMIG teams around the world have been shown to reduce cardiac alarms and mortality inhospitals, which could warrant additional training in the MEWS and MIG team for thenurse´s.

Avaliação do desempenho do escore de alerta precoce modificado em hospital público brasileiro / Evaluation of the performance of the modified early warning score in a Brazilian public hospital

Montenegro, Sayane Marlla Silva Leite 14 September 2017 (has links)
Introdução: O Escore de Alerta Precoce Modificado (MEWS) foi desenvolvido para identificação de pacientes em deterioração clínica. O objetivo foi avaliar o desempenho deste escore em enfermaria de hospital público brasileiro. Método: Parâmetros do MEWS (pressão arterial sistólica, frequência cardíaca, frequência respiratória, temperatura e nível de consciência) foram avaliados de 6/6 horas. Os seguintes eventos foram registrados: óbito, parada cardiorrespiratória e transferência para terapia intensiva. Resultados: Foram incluídos 300 pacientes (57±18 anos, sexo masculino: 65%). Observou-se número crescente de eventos combinados de acordo com o maior valor do escore (00%;00%;01%; 09%;19%;28%;89%, respectivamente para os MEWS 0;1;2;3;4;5 e 6; p<0,0001). MEWS>=4 foi o ponto de corte mais adequado para predição destes eventos (sensibilidade:87%, especificidade:85% e acurácia:0,86). Conclusões: MEWS mensura adequadamente a ocorrência de eventos graves em pacientes hospitalizados em enfermaria de um hospital público brasileiro. MEWS>=4 parece ser o ponto de corte mais adequado para predição destes eventos. / Introduction: The Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) was developed for identification of patients in clinical deterioration. The objective was to evaluate the performance of this score in a Brazilian public hospital ward. Method: MEWS parameters (systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and level of consciousness) were evaluated 6/6 hours. The following events were recorded: death, cardiorespiratory arrest and transfer to intensive care. Results: 300 patients (57 ± 18 years old, male: 65%) were included. We observed a growing number of events combined according to the highest score (00%, 00%, 01%, 09%, 19%, 28%, 89%, respectively for the MEWS 0; 1; 2; 3; 4, 5 and 6, p <0.0001). MEWS>=4 was the most appropriate cutoff point for prediction of these events (sensitivity: 87%, specificity: 85% and accuracy: 0.86). Conclusions: MEWS adequately measures the occurrence of serious events in patients hospitalized in a ward of a Brazilian public hospital. MEWS>=4 seems to be the most appropriate cutoff point for predicting these events.

Rapid response systems : evaluation of program context, mechanism, and outcome factors

Bunch, Jacinda Lea 01 December 2014 (has links)
Prevention of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is critical to reducing morbidity and mortality as both the rates of return to pre-hospital functional status and overall survival after IHCAs are low. Early identification of patients at risk and prompt clinical intervention are vital patient safety strategies to reduce IHCA. One widespread strategy is the Rapid Response System (RRS), which incorporates early risk identification, expert consultation, and key clinical interventions to bedside nurses caring for patients in clinical deterioration. However, evidence of RRS effectiveness has been equivocal in the patient safety literature. This study utilized a holistic Realistic Evaluation (RE) framework to identify important clinical environment (context) and system triggers (mechanisms) to refine our understanding of an RRS to improve local patient emoutcomesem and develop a foundation for building the next level of evidence within RE research. The specific aims of the study are to describe a RRS through context, mechanism, and outcome variables; explore differences in RRS outcomes between medical and surgical settings, and identify relationships between RRS context and mechanism variables for patient outcomes. Study RRS data was collected retrospectively from a 397-bed community hospital in the Midwest; including all adult inpatient RRS events from May 2006 (2 weeks post-RRS implementation) through November 2013. RRS events were analyzed through descriptive, comparative, and proportional odds (ordinal) logistic regression analyses. The study found the majority of adult inpatient RRS events occurred in medical settings and most were activated by staff nurses. Significant differences were noted between RRS events in medical and surgical settings; including patient status changes in the preceding 12 hours, event trigger patterns, and immediate clinical outcomes. Finally, proportional odds logistic regression revealed significant relationships between context and mechanism factors with changes in the risk of increased clinical severity immediately following at RRS event. RE was utilized to structure a preliminary study to explore the complex variables and relationships surrounding RRSs and patient outcomes. Further exploration of settings, changes in clinical status, staffing and resource access, and the ways nurses use RRSs is necessary to promote the early identification of vulnerable patients and strengthen hospital patient safety strategies.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DELAYED ACTIVATION OF RAPID RESPONSE TEAMS AND PATIENT MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY

Xu, Michael January 2017 (has links)
Objectives: The objective of this thesis is to explore the association between delayed rapid response team activation and patient mortality and morbidity in adult in-patients. Methods: Study 1 presents a protocol for a systematic review of literature regarding the association of delayed activation of rapid response teams and patient outcomes. Study 2 contains the results of the conducted systematic review, performing a search of the literature to critically appraise, aggregate, and present a narrative synthesis of included studies. The final study examines the association between delayed rapid response team activation and hospital mortality, ICU transfer, and cardiopulmonary arrest risk in a retrospective observational cohort study conducted as part of the “Hospital without Code Blues” initiative at Hamilton Health Sciences. Results: Studies included in the systematic review report an association between delayed activation and patient mortality and ICU transfer odds. Results of study three find that these delays may not be associated with patient mortality, but are significantly associated with ICU transfer events and a composite outcome of patient in-hospital mortality, ICU transfer, and cardiopulmonary arrest. Overall, patients experiencing a delayed rapid response team activation were at greater odds of experiencing a negative event during their course of stay in hospital. Conclusions: This thesis presents findings that suggest delayed activation of rapid response teams is associated with an increase in patient mortality and ICU transfers. Increased durations of delay are associated with increased odds of experiencing the above events. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

Atendimentos realizados por times de respostas rápidas em hospitais / Care by rapid response teams in hospitals

Dias, Alexsandro de Oliveira 18 December 2017 (has links)
A segurança do paciente tornou-se indispensável para o sistema de saúde, portanto iniciativas vêm sendo implantadas, no decorrer dos anos, com vistas a reduzir os eventos adversos. A atuação do time de resposta rápida (TRR) consolida-se como estratégia para prover atendimento ao paciente que apresente sinais de deterioração clínica no setor de internação geral em hospitais. O serviço é formado por equipe multiprofissional capacitada para prestar tratamento intensivo ao paciente com quadro de deterioração clínica aguda no setor de internação, por meio de códigos (amarelo e azul) instituídos para seu acionamento, com vistas a reduzir a probabilidade de agravamento do quadro clínico ou risco de óbito imediato do paciente, durante o seu período de hospitalização. O estudo objetiva caracterizar as exigências críticas nos atendimentos emergenciais realizados por TRR, em um hospital público no estado do Paraná e um filantrópico no estado de São Paulo. Pesquisa descritiva, exploratória, qualitativa, com utilização da Técnica do Incidente Crítico como guia do processo metodológico, realizada por meio de entrevistas com 19 médicos, 20 fisioterapeutas e 23 enfermeiros. Os resultados encontrados foram agrupados em 89 incidentes críticos extraídos das entrevistas. A análise dos dados constou da identificação e do agrupamento de 220 comportamentos e 130 consequências. A partir das situações, comportamentos e consequências identificadas, destacam-se a necessidade da melhoria na via aferente do TRR (reconhecimento da deterioração clínica e acionamento do TRR na unidade), a capacitação dos profissionais das unidades de internação para exercer as habilidades técnicas iniciais necessárias frente ao atendimento de emergência até a chegada do TRR, a falha na interação entre os diversos profissionais durante o atendimento do código azul com prejuízo na sistematização do atendimento de emergência para reverter o quadro de parada cardiorrespiratória dos pacientes e os sentimentos e emoções negativas geradas nos profissionais como dificultadores dos atendimentos emergenciais em código azul. Em relação aos destaques positivos a partir das situações, comportamentos e consequências identificados, ressaltam-se o tempo de chegada do TRR na unidade para realizar o atendimento de emergência, a sistematização do atendimento de reanimação cardiopulmonar realizada pela equipe multiprofissional, o restabelecimento das funções vitais do paciente após o atendimento e a sua transferência após a finalização do atendimento da unidade de internação para um ambiente de cuidados intensivos. Como principais sugestões ao TRR, os entrevistados pontuaram a importância da capacitação de atendimento de emergência aos profissionais das unidades de internação, a necessidade de mantê-los atuando exclusivamente no TRR, o número adequado de profissionais no quarto durante o atendimento de emergência e a importância do registro em prontuário do paciente sobre a decisão de não reanimação frente aos cuidados paliativos. Destaca-se a expressiva frequência dos resultados positivos comparados aos negativos que permearam as situações, comportamentos e consequências decorrentes das entrevistas. Infere-se que mesmo ocorrendo dificuldades, enfrentadas por esses profissionais durante os atendimentos realizados aos pacientes que se tornam críticos nas enfermarias, predominaram os relatos positivos nas diversas categorias que legitimaram a importância da implantação desse serviço, como contribuição à qualidade e segurança dos que estão hospitalizados / Patient safety has become indispensable for the health system. Therefore, initiatives have been implemented over the years to reduce adverse events. The performance of the Rapid Response Team (RRT) has been consolidated as a strategy to provide care to patients who get in critical conditions at the general hospital admission unit. The service is constituted by a multiprofessional team with an approach in the intensive treatment of patients with signs of acute clinical deterioration in the inpatient unit, through codes established for its activation, in order to reduce the probability of worsening of the clinical condition or imminent death risk of the patient during the hospitalization period. The study aims to characterize the critical requirements in emergency care provided by the RRT at a public hospital in the state of Paraná and a philanthropic hospital in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. This is a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach, adopting the Critical Incident Technique to guide the methodological procedures, performed with 62 health professionals, being 19 physicians, 20 physiotherapists and 23 nurses. The results were grouped into 89 critical incidents extracted from the interviews. Data analysis consisted of the identification and grouping of 220 behaviors and 130 consequences. Based on the situations, behaviors and consequences identified, there is a need to improve the afferent pathway of RRT (recognition of clinical deterioration and activation of the RRT in the unit), the qualification of the professionals of the inpatient units to perform the necessary initial technical skills in the emergency response until the arrival of the RRT, the failure in the interaction among the different professionals during blue-code care with negative effects for the systematization of emergency care to revert the patients\' CPA and the negative feelings and emotions generated in the professionals as impediments to code-blue emergency care. Regarding the positive highlights from the situations, behaviors and consequences identified, the arrival time of the RRT in the unit to perform the emergency care, the systematization of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation service performed by the multiprofessional team, the restoration of the patient\'s vital functions after the care and transfer of the patient after the end of the care from the inpatient unit to an intensive care environment. As the main suggestions to the RRT, the interviewees pointed out the importance of emergency care training for the professionals of the inpatient units, the need to keep the professionals working exclusively in the RRT, the appropriate number of professionals in the room during emergency care and the importance of registering the patient\'s decision not to reanimate in the patient file in view of palliative care. The significant frequency of positive over negative results was highlighted, which permeated the situations, behaviors and consequences deriving from the interviews. It is inferred that, even though these professionals encountered difficulties during the visits to patients who became critical in the wards, the positive reports predominated in the various categories that legitimized the importance of implementing this service, as a contribution to the quality and safety of hospitalized patients

Ações têm sido implantadas nas Instituições, na tentativa de reduzir a mortalidade hospitalar e os eventos não previsíveis. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a atuação do time de resposta rápida nos indicadores de melhoria da qualidade assistencial, comparando dois períodos de seguimento. Casuística e Método: No período de maio de 2010 a dezembro de 2012, foram avaliados os atendimentos realizados pelo time de resposta rápida, em pacientes com idade maior ou igual a 18 anos. O estudo foi dividido em dois períodos, denominado "antes" e "depois", sendo que o primeiro compreendeu o intervalo de maio de 2010 a julho de 2011 e o segundo, entre agosto de 2011 e dezembro de 2012. O acionamento do grupo era feito por qualquer profissional da equipe assistencial, baseado em critérios preestabelecidos e amplamente divulgados na Instituição. Após 15 meses de seguimento, optou-se pela alteração nos critérios de acionamento (período "depois"), visando à detecção precoce da deterioração clínica e baseados no perfil epidemiológico da Instituição. No período, foram atendidos 8009 pacientes, sendo 1830 no "antes" e 6179 no "depois", com idade média de 66,37±16,88 e 65,99±20,08 anos, respectivamente. O gênero masculino foi predominante em ambos os períodos, representando 52,5% dos atendimentos no primeiro e 53% no segundo. No período "antes", as alterações respiratórias representaram o maior número de chamados, enquanto que, no período "depois", a busca ativa de sepse foi o critério mais acionado, seguido pelas alterações respiratórias. Foi denominado código azul, os atendimentos de parada cardiorrespiratória e código amarelo, os atendimentos decorrentes de deterioração clínica. Os indicadores de qualidade assistencial mensurados foram: reinternação precoce em terapia intensiva (UTI), transferências para UTI, chamados de código amarelo, número de paradas cardiorrespiratórias fora da UTI e mortalidade hospitalar. Resultados: No período analisado, não houve diferença estatisticamente significante de perfil dos pacientes nos dois períodos, quanto ao gênero e idade (p=0,631 e p=0,550, respectivamente). Ao longo dos meses avaliados, houve um aumento significativo no número total de atendimentos, com 98,1% de chamados de código amarelo no segundo período. A proporção encontrada de códigos azuis foi de 7,59% no período "antes" e 1,91% no período "depois". O número de pacientes atendidos que necessitaram transferência para a UTI representava 33,3% dos atendimentos no período "antes", com redução para 20,8% no "depois" (p<0,001). Houve redução no número de reinternações em UTI na comparação entre os dois períodos (p <0,001). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante no número de paradas cardiorrespiratórias fora da UTI e na mortalidade entre os períodos, no entanto, com tendência de redução no decorrer do tempo. Conclusão: A implantação do time de resposta rápida resulta em melhoria da qualidade assistencial, com redução no número de transferências e reinternação precoce em UTI. O número de paradas cardiorrespiratórias e a mortalidade apresentaram tendência de redução ao longo do tempo estudado / Abstract: Introduction: Patient safety has become a strategic priority for the health system. Actions have been implemented in health institutions in an attempt to reduce mortality and adverse events. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the rapid response team on indicators of improving quality of care, comparing two periods of follow-up. Methods: Between May 2010 and December 2012, we assessed the care provided by a rapid response team in patients aged greater than or equal to 18 years. The study was divided into two periods, "before" and "after", the first of which included the period May 2010 to July 2011 and the second between August 2011 and December 2012. The group was called by any professional health care team, based on predetermined criteria. After 15 months of follow-up, we decided to drive change in criteria (period "after"), aimed at early detection before clinical deterioration and based on the epidemiological profile of the institution. During the period, 8009 patients were treated, and 1830 in the period "before" and in 6179 "after", with a mean age of 66.37 ± 16.88 and 65.99 ± 20.08 years, respectively. The male gender predominated in both periods, representing 52.5% of visits in the 1st period and 53% in the second. In the period "before", the respiratory changes accounted for the largest number of calls, while in the period "after" sepsis was the most called, followed by respiratory disorders. Blue code was called the attendance of cardiac arrest and yellow code, the clinic visits resulting from deterioration. The quality of care indicators measured were: unplanned admission to intensive care unit (ICU), ICU transfers, time-driven service, called code yellow and number of cardiac arrests outside the ICU. Results: During the period analyzed, there was no statistically significant difference in the profile of patients in both periods, according to gender and age (p = 0.631 and p = 0.550, respectively). Over the months studied, there was an increase of approximately 300% in the total number of visits, with 98.1% of calls to code yellow in the second period. The proportion of code blue was 7.59% in the period "before" and 1.91% in the period "after." The number of patients seen who required transfer to the ICU represented 33.3% of attendances in period "before", with a reduction to 20.8% in the "after" (p <0.001). There was a reduction in the number of unplanned ICU admissions when comparing the two periods (p <0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of cardiac arrests outside the ICU and mortality between the periods. Conclusion: The implementation of the rapid response team results in improving quality of care, reducing the number of transfers and early readmission to the ICU. The number of cardiopulmonary arrests and mortality tended to decrease over time studied / Doutorado / Fisiopatologia Cirúrgica / Doutora em Ciências

Kontakter med Mobila Intensivvårdsgruppen på ett sjukhus i Västra Götalandsregionen : En retrospektiv kartläggning / Contact with Medical emergency team (MET) at a hospital in Västra Götalandsregionen : A retrospective screening.

Germundsson Nilsson, Alexander, Nilsson, Nina January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund: Intensivvård är den högsta vårdinstansen på ett sjukhus, en av sjukvårdens mest resurskrävande behandlingsformer. När en patient blir kritiskt sjuk eller påvisar försämrade vitalparametrar kontaktar vårdpersonalen mobil intensivvårdsgrupp (MIG) som utgår ifrån intensivvårdsavdelningen (IVA). Problemformulering: De kritiskt sjuka patienterna vårdas inte längre bara på IVA men också på vårdavdelningar. I ett omvårdnads- och professionsperspektiv som intensivvårdssjuksköterska är det av betydelse och centralt att förstå orsakerna till kontakt med MIG. Syfte: Att kartlägga kontakter, orsaker och skillnader med mobil intensivvårdsgrupp på ett sjukhus i Västra Götalandsregionen. Metod: En icke-experimentell studie med ett konsekutivt urval och retrospektiv journalgranskning av 386 patientkontakter med MIG under åren 2017–2019. Resultat: Studiens resultat påvisar en hög medelålder. Ingen skillnad återfanns i patientgruppen ur ett könsperspektiv. Den framträdande gruppen är den geriatriska patienten ≥65år som är utsatt och en högriskgrupp vid kontakt med MIG. De utgör majoriteten av alla kontakter med MIG åren 2017–2019. Diskussion: Studiens kartläggning och resultat påvisar behov av kompetenshöjande utbildning och optimeringsteam. Geriatriska patientgruppen behöver vårdinsatser i rätt tid och med rätt kompetens för att minska antalet MIG kontakter och initiera insatser i förtid och motverka svikt av vitala parametrar.
