Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid Response Teams, Second Edition: Proven Strategies for Successful Implementation Della M. Lin, MD CATCH EMERGENCIES BEFORE THEY OCCUR! The concept of rapid response teams (RRT) has taken hold around the world as an important part of a system that strives to recognize, rescue, and coordinate the care of a destabilizing patient in an increasingly timely fashion. In addition, The Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goal NPSG.16.01.01.01 requires hospitals to improve recognition of and response to a downturn in a patient's condition. Save time, money, and patient lives! Although healthcare organizations across the country may differ substantially, the RRT methodology can be implemented regardless of unique organizational history. Your facility may have time or financial constraints, but when you consider the benefits of a more coordinated, safer healthcare delivery system that will continually aim to eliminate all preventable deaths, you can't afford not to start. Rapid Response Teams, Second Edition: Proven Strategies for Successful Implementation gives you all the tools and information you need to achieve similar results at your facility, saving you time, money, and patient lives! You know the benefits; now get the tools and tips to put ateam in place. Just by considering what an RRT could mean for your facility, you've taken the first step toward building a program that could alter the future of your organization. The next step is taking advantage of a program loaded with proven implementation strategies. If you're considering implementing an RRT, but you don't know where to start, look no further than Rapid Response Teams, Second Edition: Proven Strategies for Successful Implementation. Author Della M. Lin, MD, provides straightforward tips, successful case studies, and expert advice that healthcare professionals everywhere can use to get this program started in their hospitals Packed with forms and case studies, this resource: Helps you comply with National Patient Safety Goal NPSG.16.01.01.01, which requires hospitals to improve recognition and response to patients in distress Provides lessons learned through case studies of hospitals that have successfully implemented RRTs, including a case study from the United Kingdom Explains how to take your RRT to the next level Follows the evolution of the RRT concept into rapid response systems Examines newer developments such as family activated RRTs and early warning systems

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential introduction to the principles and applications of feedback systems—now fully revised and expanded This textbook covers the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. Now more user-friendly than ever, this revised and expanded edition of Feedback Systems is a one-volume resource for students and researchers in mathematics and engineering. It has applications across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems. Karl Åström and Richard Murray use techniques from physics, computer science, and operations research to introduce control-oriented modeling. They begin with state space tools for analysis and design, including stability of solutions, Lyapunov functions, reachability, state feedback observability, and estimators. The matrix exponential plays a central role in the analysis of linear control systems, allowing a concise development of many of the key concepts for this class of models. Åström and Murray then develop and explain tools in the frequency domain, including transfer functions, Nyquist analysis, PID control, frequency domain design, and robustness. Features a new chapter on design principles and tools, illustrating the types of problems that can be solved using feedback Includes a new chapter on fundamental limits and new material on the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and root locus plots Provides exercises at the end of every chapter Comes with an electronic solutions manual An ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students Indispensable for researchers seeking a self-contained resource on control theory

Download or read book Medical Emergency Teams written by Michael A. DeVita and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Critical Care Evolved METs? In early 2004, when Dr. Michael DeVita informed me that he was cons- ering a textbook on the new concept of Medical Emergency Teams (METs), I was surprised. At Presbyterian-University Hospital in Pittsburgh we int- duced this idea some 15 years ago, but did not think it was revolutionary enough to publish. This, even though, our fellows in critical care medicine training were all involved and informed about the importance of “C- dition C (Crisis),” as it was called to distinguish it from “Condition A (Arrest). ”We thought it absurd to intervene only after cardiac arrest had occurred,because most cases showed prior deterioration and cardiac arrest could be prevented with rapid team work to correct precluding problems. The above thoughts were logical in Pittsburgh, where the legendary Dr. Peter Safar had been working since the late 1950s on improving current resuscitation techniques, ?rst ventilation victims of apneic from drowning, treatment of smoke inhalation, and so on. This was followed by external cardiac compression upon demonstration of its ef?ciency in cases of unexpected sudden cardiac arrest. Dr. Safar devoted his entire professional life to improvement of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He and many others emphasized the importance of getting the CPR team to o- of-hospital victims of cardiac arrest as quickly as possible.
