Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.3K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

717
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Patient Safety
  • Clinical Informatics

Background:

  • Excessive clinical alarms lead to alarm fatigue and compromised patient safety.
  • Acute care units generated an average of 19.44 alarms/patient/hour.
  • Evidence supported implementing an alarm bundle to mitigate these issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement an evidence-based bundle to reduce nonactionable telemetry alarms.
  • To improve patient safety in adult acute care inpatient units.
  • To address alarm fatigue among healthcare staff.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement project utilizing weekly audits for workflow adherence assessment.
  • Run charts were employed to visualize process adherence based on audit findings.
  • Focus on implementing an alarm bundle in two adult acute care units.

Main Results:

  • Adherence to daily electrode sticker changes was 80%, and EMR documentation was 75%.
  • Lead V sticker placement errors occurred at 34%.
  • Nurse-driven heart rate parameter customization was 17%, with 75% adherence to standby use.

Conclusions:

  • An evidence-based alarm bundle can be safely introduced in adult acute care settings.
  • The implemented bundle effectively reduced nonactionable alarms.
  • Safe clinical judgment was maintained when customizing patient parameters.
