Download or read book Critical Care Outreach written by Lee Cutler and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-07-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the publication of the department of health document - Comprehensive Critical Care (2000), the majority of hospitals in England have set up Critical Care Outreach Teams. The Government provided a significant sum of money for hospitals to set up outreach services. There are now calls for an evaluation of their impact. The book is set out in five key sections. Each section features chapters that address the conceptual and real life issues. In each section there is a chapter, set out as a case study example, demonstrating how innovative practices and service developments are going on around critical care outreach. The book will draw upon the knowledge, experience and clinical expertise of senior critical care nurses and doctors from a critical care network. The book will have a definite practical application and will provide tips to enhance practice. * Chapters contain useful 'how to' guides, prompts for critical thinking and case studies. * Very little has previously been published on this topic

Book Synopsis Rapid Response Teams Versus Critical Care Outreach Teams by : Valerie C. Danesh
Download or read book Rapid Response Teams Versus Critical Care Outreach Teams written by Valerie C. Danesh and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of unplanned escalations during hospitalization is undocumented, but estimates may be as high as 1.2 million occurrences per year in the United States. Rapid Response Teams (RRT) were developed for the early recognition and treatment of deteriorating patients to deliver time-sensitive interventions, but evidence related to optimal activation criteria and structure is limited. The purpose of this study is to determine if an Early Warning Score-based Critical Care Outreach (CCO) model is related to the frequency of unplanned intra-hospital escalations in care compared to a RRT system based on staff nurse identification of vital sign derangements and physical assessments. The RRT model, in which staff nurses identified vital sign derangements to active the system, was compared with the addition of a CCO model, in which rapid response nurses activated the system based on Early Warning Score line graphs of patient condition over time. Logistic regressions were used to examine retrospective data from administrative datasets at a 237-bed community non-teaching hospital during two periods: 1) baseline period, RRT model (n=5,875) (Phase 1: October 1, 2010 - March 31, 2011), and; 2) intervention period, RRT/CCO model (n=6,273). (Phase 2: October 1, 2011 - March 31, 2012). The strongest predictor of unplanned escalations to the Intensive Care Unit was the type of rapid response system model. Unplanned ICU transfers were 1.4 times more likely to occur during the Phase 1 RRT period. In contrast, the type of rapid response model was not a significant predictor when all unplanned escalations (any type) were grouped together (medical-surgical-to-intermediate, medical-surgical-to-ICU and intermediate-to-ICU). This is the first study to report a relationship between unplanned escalations and different rapid response models. Based on the findings of fewer unplanned ICU transfers in the setting of a CCO model, health services researchers and clinicians should consider using automated Early Warning score graphs for hospital-wide surveillance of patient condition as a safety strategy.

Book Synopsis Ward-based Critical Care: a guide for health professionals by : Ann M Price
Download or read book Ward-based Critical Care: a guide for health professionals written by Ann M Price and published by M&K Update Ltd. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the original Ward-based Critical Care, this second edition aims to guide practitioners in the initial management of critically ill adult patients within the ward setting. It should be of value to a wide range of healthcare professionals, including junior doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and students. It will also be relevant to practitioners who are moving into any setting that cares for acutely ill patients. This volume has been slightly reorganised since the first edition to ensure that practical aspects are incorporated within the relevant sections. The book is still structured around the ABCDE approach to assessing and managing patients, as this is promoted in critical care and resuscitation care training. The focus on practical examples and ‘hot tips’ to aid memory of key points continues. All the chapters have been updated with the most recent guidance, as available at the time of writing. This has meant that some chapters have required major revisions, while others have remained relatively unchanged. Some new chapters have been included, such as the ones on anaphylactic shock, patient safety, dealing with pregnant women in the ward setting, and massive blood transfusion. In addition, each section now starts with a chapter giving an overview of the A–E approach in order to provide more detail about assessing and managing those aspects of patient care. This informative book contains many useful features such as clinical scenarios, hot tips and practical skills, and the text is richly illustrated and cross-referenced throughout.

Book Synopsis An Analysis of Healthcare Provision by : Sharon Burfield
Download or read book An Analysis of Healthcare Provision written by Sharon Burfield and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Since the publication of the 'Comprehensive Critical Care' review (DoH, 2000a) there has been widespread implementation of Critical Care Outreach (CCO) teams, or equivalent, throughout the United Kingdom. This is despite a lack of evidence to suggest that the concept of CCO is beneficial or cost effective. -- Aim: The aim of this work is to analyse the provision of CCO in a large district general hospital in Southeast England. This analysis focuses specifically on the objectives set out in the 'Comprehensive Critical Care' review (DoH, 2000a), which recommend that critical care outreach teams should 'avert admissions', 'enable discharges' and 'share skills'. Additionally, the staff experience of critical care outreach in this Trust will be considered. -- Methods: Analysis of the CCO role was undertaken, using both retrospective and prospective data. Routinely collected data from the intensive care unit (ICU) and CCO team were utilised, providing information spanning up to 15 years. These data were analysed and simple statistics used to gain insight into the impact of CCO. A further audit was undertaken to enhance the understanding of the CCO role, in particular relating to staff perceptions and the education component of the role. -- Findings: In relation to 'averting admissions', since 2002 the number of emergency admissions to ICU has increased. There have been significant improvements in mortality rates, with hospital mortality reduced from 33% to 22% and unit mortality reduced from 12% to 4% (p
