Smart Pump Technology
• We were early adopters of CareFusion Smart Pump technology in 2007
• We utilize smart pumps, Patient controlled analgesia modules, etCO2 modules & syringe modules
• Our patient care delivery with products, processes, policies & interventions are standardized to reduce variation in care & reduce harm across all facilities and the continuum

What is capnography & what is its’ value?
• Capnography has evolved into a standard of monitoring during anesthesia because it has proven itself to be a valuable tool in recognizing ventilatory and circulatory events that could potentially lead to deleterious effects

Sedation & Ventilation Status
• Historically we have relied on oxygen levels to tell us about a patients respiratory/ventilation status
• Oximetry is not an indicator of ventilation status• Measurement of CO2 is a better predictor of
ventilation status and helps us intervene earlier to address respiratory compromise before needing reversal agents or a higher level of care

Our Journey
• Early adopters of smart pump technology-2007• All 7 hospitals utilize same products, same policies and
have a process to promote evidence based practice, standardization & reduction of variation
• #1 customer is the patient-Do what is best for our patients!
• Goal is to reduce harm & provide the highest quality, safest care with the best outcomes possible
• Etco2 often only used with patient controlled analgesia

Impetus for Improvement
• Data from largest facility within our network, revealed a high number of patients with over-sedation requiring consultation from rapid response team for respiratory compromise; use of naloxone for reversal; and many required a higher level of care & monitoring
• Note this project was before the Partnership in Patient Safety national projects to reduce adverse drug events with naloxone

Goal of Improvement
Goal: Reduce unwanted respiratory depression due to opioids post-operatively & reduce naloxone utilization.Data Revealed: Higher amounts of naloxone administered on the largest campus that did surgeries & at the time we were only using etCO2 monitoring on PCA patients. Many patients with high BMI, COPD &/or Sleep apnea higher risk but not awareFinding: PACU staff & leaders were not aware of patient compromise once they left PACU

The Improvement
Interventions• Developed & implemented education for all PACU staff about data &
how the team would work to reduce harm • Implemented end tidal CO2 monitoring on all PACU patients before
they left PACU• Improved bedside handoff communication between PACU RN & Unit
receiving RN about any issues or concerns, specifically what meds had they received that have potential to cause sedation
• Began process improvement October 2013 & analyzed process & data through all of 2014 and in 2015 began the spread of improvement through all facilities
• Patient education sheet developed with talking points

Changes in the PACU
• All patients have an end tidal CO2 module attached to Infusion pump with nasal cannula in place in the PACU
• The etCO2 module will be activated & turned on & measuring as PACU transports patient from PACU to acute care
• Discharge criteria for PACU remains the same otherwise• Note elevation in etCO2 alerts us to help patient take
deep cleansing breathes & to exhale to rid of excess CO2

Nasal Cannula
![Page 22: Continuous Monitoring of Patients on Opioids: Initiatives ...s3.amazonaws.com/rdcms-aami/files/production/public/FileDownloa… · LinkedIn Questions Please post questions on the](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071101/5fda7b2033450073786dbbba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Key Considerations to Success
• Have the right team members• Educate patient regarding cannula• Have experts and leaders who can serve as
champions aka “barrier busters”• Engage staff & help them digest & understand
the data • Make it real---take the data, deep dive a couple
of cases & develop a case story---Reality sinks in more than probability

The Challenges
• Fear of alarms bothering patients & decreasing patient satisfaction
• Orders being entered to discontinue etCO2 monitoring • Staff ability to articulate & explain to patients why this is
important & why we do it• Providers desiring to select only those patients at risk for
sedation? • Inability to know who is at risk-Providers asked why put
on everyone?

Hardwiring Change
• Be methodical-don’t try to do all places at one time• Support both areas PACU and Acute care on go live day and
ongoing after• Train champions & unit experts • Have building resources• Immediately address concerns or issues & resolve face to face • Realize change takes time & when busy we easily digress to old
habits• Monitor events real-time-we discuss naloxone events daily in our
safe day huddles & consider them ADE’s until reviewed

Current State• Complete implementation across acute care• Expansion to OB• Staff nurse can place etCO2 module on any
patient with concerns of compromise & increased risk of sedation-this allows a nurse the ability to better assess their patients in a more accurate way
![Page 26: Continuous Monitoring of Patients on Opioids: Initiatives ...s3.amazonaws.com/rdcms-aami/files/production/public/FileDownloa… · LinkedIn Questions Please post questions on the](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022071101/5fda7b2033450073786dbbba/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Current State
• Project team working as a network to verify that all end tidal CO2 monitoring during procedures are using most current technology
• Note that naloxone use remains significantly low based on percentage of patients who receive opioids & would have potential for reversal
• Looking beyond opioids now & other sedation medications

• Up to 60 percent of all hospital patients are monitored continuously2
• In order to rescue, one needs to know they’re deteriorating and respond immediately3
• Up to 75 percent of adverse events and preventable deaths1
• 84 percent of patients exhibit signs of deterioration2 bed

Metrics for Quality Improvement• Early identification of
deterioration (sepsis, opioid induced hypoventilation, reoperation, hypertension, etc.)
• Efficiency—number of steps and time for vital signs
• Operational• Code blue and rapid
response calls• Satisfaction

Three Fundamental Problems
• According to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the 5 Million Lives campaign (2007):
1. Failures in planning – includes assessments, treatments, goals
2. Failure to communicate – patient-to-staff, staff-to-staff, staff-to-physician, etc.
3. Failure to recognize a problem
• These three problems often lead to failure to rescue.

Recognizing a Problem
• RNs are in patient rooms for 1.5 hours out of a 12-hour shift 1
• Spend less than 7 percent of time assessing the patient 3

• Average of nine cognitive shifts per hour 2
• Refocus from one patient to another every six to seven minutes4
• Vital signs obtained for five minutes every four hours represents 2 percent of a patient’s day
• Yet it represents ‘hours’ of RN/PCT time for each shift

Condition vs. Surveillance Monitoring
• Condition Monitoring: use of a patient monitoring system which is limited to clinical targets based upon a patient’s unique, identifiable risk profile
• Surveillance Monitoring: use of a patient monitoring system which has continuous broad clinical targeting independent of a patient’s unique, identifiable risk profile, recognizing that all risks cannot be identified a priority

Workflow Analysis - Efficiency
• Analyzing traditional workflow compared to the new workflow state with selected continuous vital sign system
• Identifying operational efficiencies
• Using workflow analysis tool(s) to gather data
1. Nurse finds traditional vital sign device
2. Nurse brings device to patient room
3. Nurse takes vital signs in three stages: temperature, blood pressure, pulse oximetry
4. Nurse returns vital sign device to storage location
5. Nurse documents vital signs in electronic health record (or validates if automatically transmitted)

Total: 20 hours in a 24 hr time period
Potential 10 hours/day time saving
Overall assumptions: 40-bed unit, vitals every four hours – for a 24-hour periodContinuous vital sign assumptions: Calibrate and bump twice/day, initial setup for 1/3 of patients – assuming an avg. 3-day length of stay.

Results
• Over 99,500 hours of patient vital sign data were logged
• There were over 75 clinically meaningful nursing interventions to alarms recorded that either detected or prevented deterioration
• Interventions were coded to determine early deterioration diagnosis (such as sepsis, hypertension and pulmonary vascular congestion)
• There were 33 diagnoses related to deterioration. All patients were treated and discharged alive

Technology Considerations
• Need for conducting site survey with vendor to ensure complete Wi-Fi coverage throughout facility
• Plan resources appropriately to work on interfacing development/testing, for both point of use and connection to EHR
• Conduct weekly project status calls (to include interfacing)
• Keep up-to-date project plan and issue log• Ensure sufficient physical space for equipment

Implementation Challenges
• Staff (RN and patient care assistant) buy-in• Role and responsibility definition• Staff training
• How to use the system• How your day changes• How to educate patients
• Physician education• Physical storage limitations

Conclusions• With timely access to more data, nurses on non-
critical care units are forming meaningful conclusions to:• Improve outcomes• Lower costs• Tailor responses to meet individual patient needs
• A continuous vital sign surveillance system can be implemented on any inpatient unit to help identify conditions for immediate intervention and early detection of more serious complications
