Hospitals should ensure that a specially certified clinician and at least one physician or nurse anesthetist are present and immediately available while a pediatric patient is present until discharge.
Hospitals should go through all the elements of a complete safe surgery checklist on all patients every time a procedure is performed. The hospital provides written surgical consent forms the day of their procedure.
The hospital provides written anesthesia consent forms the day of their procedure. Preparing your results. Please wait. Hospital staff closely monitor patients for signs of sepsis following surgical procedures, including a high heart rate, low blood pressure, fatigue, confusion, and severe pain.
Most times the object is a surgical sponge, which can quickly get infected. Many patients become severely ill, disabled, or even die. This number represents the number of times dangerous objects were left inside patients for every 1, people discharged. This could leave the wound exposed. A surgical wound splitting open is very painful and puts the patient at risk for infection. This number represents the number of times surgical wounds in the stomach or abdomen area split open for every 1, people who had surgery on their abdomen.
Sometimes after surgery, patients can develop serious complications while they are in the hospital. They might catch pneumonia, have a heart attack, or lose function in their kidneys or liver.
These problems are serious but can be treated by a good hospital team. This number represents the number of surgical patients that died for every 1, people who had a serious treatable complication after surgery. If blood vessels become injured during surgery, they may leak excess blood within the body. In some cases, the blood leak will clump up or clot. In other cases, the blood leak is active and ongoing. This number represents the estimated number of times patients experienced blood leakage during a procedure for every 1, people who had surgery.
Surgical sites should be sewn or fused shut completely before the body is closed. After major surgery, particularly heart surgery, some patients may experience kidney failure.
In the most extreme cases, a patient may need a kidney transplant or risk death. Patients who are older or have other pre-existing health problems are at a greater risk of experiencing kidney failure.
This number represents the estimated number of times patients experienced kidney failure for every 1, people who had surgery. They should also monitor urine output. Close monitoring can allow a patient to be treated for kidney failure quickly before long-term and irreversible damage is done. After surgery some patients can develop a serious breathing problem. Their lungs either cannot take in enough oxygen or cannot get rid of carbon dioxide.
Without immediate care, the patient can lose consciousness, fall into a coma, or even die. This number represents the number of times patients experienced serious breathing problems for every 1, people who had surgery. For procedures of the abdomen and pelvis, there is a chance that the patient will suffer an accidental cut or tear of their skin or other tissue. This number represents the number of times patients experienced accidental cuts and tears in the abdominal or pelvic region during a procedure for every 1, people discharged.
Patients can experience complications and potentially harmful events following a surgery, a procedure, or childbirth. This number represents the number of times patients experienced dangerous safety-related adverse events for every 1, people discharged.
These potentially avoidable safety events represent opportunities for improving patient care. Staff should document when errors happen, discuss how the error occurred, and develop a plan to prevent future errors. A bed sore is a sore or wound on the skin that forms when a patient lays or sits in one position for too long without being moved. Advanced bedsores also known as stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcers can become large and very deep. They can reach a muscle or bone and cause severe pain and serious infection.
This can lead to longer hospital stays, amputation, or even death. This number represents the number of times patients experienced dangerous bed sores for every 1, people discharged. One common problem that patients face in the hospital is a serious injury or death resulting from a fall or other kind of trauma. Patient falls increase time in the hospital, require additional care, and can result in permanent disability.
This number represents the number of times patients experienced falls or other types of trauma for every 1, people discharged. Patients in the hospital, especially those who are older or have weaker bones, are at risk of breaking their hip if they fall.
This number represents the number of times patients experienced hip fractures for every 1, people discharged. Hospital staff should ensure patients know how to request assistance when they want to get out of bed.
Rooms should be kept free of all hazards that may cause a patient to trip and fall. Patients should be provided with non-slip socks and garments that will not get in the way when they are trying to move. A collapsed lung is when air leaks out of the lung and goes into the area between the lungs and the chest wall. It can happen when a doctor or nurse is inserting a catheter, a feeding tube, or even a pacemaker. This kind of lung injury can be serious and can cause severe chest pain and other complications.
This number represents the number of times patients experienced collapsed lungs for every 1, people discharged. A blood clot is a gathering of blood cells in a vein, which can be caused by damage to tissue during surgery. Most blood clots form in the leg but the clot can break away and travel through the bloodstream to other areas of the body. If the clot travels to the lungs and gets stuck, it can prevent oxygen from getting into the blood.
This can lead to chest pain, unconsciousness, and even death. This number represents the number of times patients experienced dangerous blood clots for every 1, people who had surgery. An air or gas bubble air embolism stops blood from flowing through the body. This serious mistake can happen during surgery or other procedures, like getting an injection.
If blood flow is blocked, a patient can suffer a stroke or die. This number represents the number of times patients had an air or gas bubble in the blood for every 1, people discharged. Hospitals can use Computerized Physician Order Entry CPOE systems to order medications for patients in the hospital, instead of writing out prescriptions by hand.
Good CPOE systems alert the doctor if they try to order a medication that could cause harm, such as prescribing an adult dosage for a child. CPOE systems help to reduce medication errors in the hospital. Hospitals can earn up to points for using a well-functioning CPOE system in most areas of the hospital. If the bar codes do not match, this signals there is an error, giving nurses and doctors the chance to confirm they have the right patient, right medication, and right dose.
Bar code medication administration BCMA systems are proven to reduce the risk that a hospital accidentally gives the wrong medication to a patient.
Hospitals earn up to points for using a well-functioning bar coding system for all medication orders, and making sure it is used properly to keep patients safe. Healthcare workers can help stop infection and illness by carefully cleaning their hands. When hospital staff does not carefully wash their hands, they can spread germs from one patient to another and cause someone to become seriously ill.
