SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

6.8K
Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

422
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

1.4K
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

2.9K
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

3.1K
Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.
Equipment Required
First, gather all necessary equipment: a sterile suction catheter, a sterile disposable container, sterile gloves, a towel or...

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Quality Improvement
    • Patient Safety
    • Pediatric Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Effective patient handover is crucial in the pediatric postanesthesia care unit (PACU).
    • Standardized communication protocols can enhance care transitions.
    • Previous methods lacked structure, potentially impacting information transfer.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate a structured handover process in the pediatric PACU.
    • To improve the quality of information exchange during patient handovers.
    • To assess the impact on healthcare provider satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • An observational pre- and post-quality improvement study design was employed.
    • A 42-item checklist (Introductions, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendations, & Questions) guided handovers.
    • Handover interactions were observed, and provider satisfaction was surveyed.

    Main Results:

    • The structured handover checklist led to a statistically significant increase in discussed handover items across most phases (P < .001).
    • Provider satisfaction significantly improved post-implementation (P < .01).
    • Handover duration showed no significant difference between pre- and post-implementation periods (P = .15).

    Conclusions:

    • A structured handover checklist enhances the communication of essential handover information.
    • Implementing a checklist improves healthcare provider satisfaction in the pediatric PACU.
    • The structured approach did not increase the time required for handovers.
