Are we ready for an emergencyAdamson, Kaashiefah 22 July 2015 (has links)
Introduction
Trauma and emergencies contribute to the quadruple burden of disease in South Africa and being prepared for an emergency requires rapid access to emergency equipment, drugs and emergency trolleys to optimally manage an emergency. This is the first descriptive study looking specifically at essential emergency equipment, drugs and the emergency trolley required for the provision of optimal emergency care at Community Health Centres (CHCs) in the Western Cape Metropole.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the study was to evaluate whether eight 24 hour emergency units at CHCs in the Western Cape Metropole had the appropriate and essential emergency equipment, drugs and emergency trolleys necessary for the delivery of optimal emergency care, using the Emergency Medicine Society of South Africa (EMSSA) guidelines as the audit tool.
Objectives included:
1. To assess availability of essential emergency equipment
2. To assess availability of essential emergency drugs
3. To assess the functionality of existing emergency trolleys
Methodology
EMSSA guidelines were used as the evaluation audit tool to perform a survey of emergency equipment, drugs and emergency trolleys at eight 24 hour CHCs in the Western Cape Metro pole. Data collection for the study was conducted at the eight 24 hour CHCs over a 3 month period during the months of June 2012 to August 2012. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Health Sciences (Statistica, version 10 of 2012) and Microsoft Excel.
Results
A total of 81 emergency equipment items, 43 emergency drug items (37 emergency drugs, 6 intravenous fluids) and 78 emergency trolley items were required to be in each emergency unit. An average of 62% of all recommended emergency equipment items, 80% of all emergency drugs and 52.4% of all emergency trolley items were found to be present in this survey. Essential emergency paediatric equipment including bag ventilation devices, Magill’s forceps, masks, intraosseous needles and appropriate blood pressure cuffs were found to be absent at 2 CHCs. All CHCs had access to a defibrillator and ECG machine but these were found to be dysfunctional at 2 CHCs due to expired batteries and no tracing paper being available. Expired first line emergency drugs (adrenaline and atropine) were found at certain CHCs. The recording of emergency trolley checklists and stocking of essential emergency items were found to be incongruent, inconsistent and not up to the recommended standard.
Conclusion
Essential emergency equipment and drugs and the functionality of emergency trolleys were found to be generally inadequate. Considerable deficiencies of essential emergency items were found, particularly paediatric equipment and drugs and this may negatively impact on resuscitative efforts and outcome in both paediatric and adult emergency care at CHCs in the Western Cape Metropole.

Trauma nursing care :a workload modelBabst, Terrill Anne January 2000 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2000 / The current rationalisation of health care in the Western Cape
may result in a decrease in the number of patients attending the
Trauma Unit at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH), one of the two
large tertiary care hospitals in the Western Cape. This in turn
may result in cuts in staff allocations to this unit. The nursing
staff need to be proactive in preventing potential cuts which may
compromise the services that they offer.
Current statistics collected by nursing managers in the trauma
unit at GSH provide an indication of the volume of work
handled, but do not necessarily capture the intensity of that
work.
The purpose of this research project will determine the extent to
which nursing care required by patients attending the trauma
unit at GSH has increased and to establish appropriate staff
workload scheduling.
The existing classification systems available for assessing
patient acuity levels are no longer suitable as they use patient
numbers to describe workload.
By using a classification system specifically developed for the
use by nurse managers in high care units (trauma units), the
appropriate staffing norms based on the acuity level of patients
can be determined.
Finally, this research project will determine a suitable model for
measuring the intensity of workload specific to a trauma unit
environment for the effective and efficient allocation of staff.
