Book excerpt: Title: Critical events during intrahospital transport of critically ill patients to and from intensive care unit: A Prospective observational study.Background and AIMS : u2022tIntrahospital transport (IHT) of critically ill patients is frequently required for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that cannot be performed in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). In our hospital 5 to 7 patients per week are transferred from the main ICU to operating room or for diagnostic procedures. Adverse events are common in both in- and out-of-hospital transports, the most common being equipment malfunction1. Studies have reported equipment problems and mishap in 11 to 34% of all transport episodes2,3,4 Aims of the present study were:u2022tTo find the nature and rate of critical events occurring during intrahospital transport of patients to and from ICU.u2022tTo formulate recommendations for prevention of critical events occurring during transport in future.Material and Methods:Study design:A prospective observational study of critical events occurring during intrahospital transport of patients to and from ICU.Results:One hundred and sixty consecutive IHTs of patients from ICU to procedure room or Operation Theatre and back were prospectively studied during an 8 month period, from 1st October 2013 to 13th May 2014.A total of 248 critical events were observed in 104 IHTs (65%; 95% Confidence Interval [95CI] 57.4-72.1%). Conclusion:Standard guidelines with regard to the accompanying personnel and monitoring need to be followed during IHT.

Download or read book Analyzing the Impact of Delays for Patient Transfers from the ICU to General Care Units written by Sara A. Dolcetti and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patients at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) face significant non-clinical transfer delays out of adult intensive care units (ICUs) and into general care units. In each of the years 2010 through to 2013, approximately 28% of MGH ICU patients experienced a transfer delay of over 12 hours. Transfer delays from the ICU impact several aspects of a patient's hospital stay, in that transfer delays: i) Increase the cost of the stay; ii) Increase ICU utilization; iii) May contribute to additional disruptions to patient flow, such as congested access to the ICU from various locations in the hospital; iv) May have clinical implications given that delayed ICU access for critically ill emergency department and operating room patients may affect the clinical care for these patients. In addition to these impacts, this study identifies a new, additional impact that is central to this work. This finding is that transfer delays from ICUs extend a patient's total hospital length-of-stay (LOS). Specifically, our analyses show that patients spend approximately the same amount of time in the hospital after their ICU stay (i.e., in a general care unit), regardless of whether or not they were delayed in the ICU. Essentially, this implies that for each day a patient is delayed in the ICU, an additional day is added to the patient's total LOS in the hospital. For certain patients, this additional amount of time, which is added to the patient's LOS, may be more than one day. Note that this phenomenon accentuates the other adverse consequences outlined above, since longer patient LOSs further increase congestion in units (both in the ICUs themselves and in general care units), and further impede access into ICUs, disrupting patient care and increasing overall hospital costs. This work studies non-clinical transfer delays from ICUs, and in doing so: 1) Develops a methodology to identify and quantify the magnitude of non-clinical transfer delays from ICUs; 2) Estimates the impact that non-clinical transfer delays from ICUs have on the total patient length of stay (LOS); 3) Identifies the reasons why delays in transfers from ICUs impact patient length of stay; 4) Proposes potential interventions to reduce the impact that delays in transfers from ICUs have on hospital operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, there has been growing concern over the management of victims of trauma and of medical emergencies, not least in the standard of prehospital care which they receive. In the 21st century, there is an increasing requirement to transfer patients, by road and by air, to and from specialist centres of excellence or within hospitals from department to department as modern medicine dictates that the patient requires intra-hospital movement to an imaging scanner, to the operating theatre, and then perhaps to intensive care. This book is a practically based text in which the reader will find easy-to-digest details on clinical management and on the logistics of different transport modes as well as facts about the physics and physiology of patient movement. It is intended as a basic reference for those who seek to work in transportation medicine, primarily doctors, but it will prove of great relevance and interest to nurses, paramedics and those who administer ambulance and air ambulance organisations.

This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a community issue - local resources and personnel must provide appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest. Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This report will help citizens, government agencies, and private industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest across the United States.
