Integrated response known as the system of care - structure processes system patient outcome Structure - People Education Equipment Process - Protocols Policies Procedures System - Programs Organization Culture Patient Outcome - Satisfaction Quality Safety Properly functioning resuscitation equipment represents that element of a system of care? - Structure Among others which of the following factors has been associated with improved survival in patients with cardiac arrest? - Immediate high quality CPR What is the first link in the out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) Chain of Survival? - Activation of emergency response The purpose of a rapid response team (RRT) or medical emergency team (MET) is to - improve patient outcomes by identifying and treating early clinical deterioration. Components of a rapid response system: - Event detection and response triggering arm A plant response such an RRT or MET Quality monitoring Administrative support Criteria for RRT - Airway compromise Respiratory rate less than six per minute or more than 30 per minute Heart rate less than 40 per minute or greater than 140 per minute Systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm HG Symptomatic hypertension Unexpended decrease in level of consciousness Unexplained agitation Seizure Significant decrease in urine output Clinical deterioration that would prompt the activation of a rapid response system - Symptomatic hypertension Seizure Unexplained agitation IHCA - In hospital cardiac arrest Benefits of implementing a rapid response system - Decreased in hospital cardiac arrest IHCA Decreased ICU length of stay Decrease in total hospital length of stay Whenever compressions are paused - Compressor should hover over the chest (not touching it) and be prepared for his integration Before passing compressions - 15 seconds before passing through fashion at the end of each two minute cycle high-performance teams should check for a pulse, recharge the defibrillator, if he supposed to deliver a shock in 10 seconds or less Switch compressors every - Switching between cycles every two minutes is best Real time feedback devices - His best practice to use real time feedback devices during CPR such as a metronome, or metronome app on your mobile device Which component of effective high-performance teams is represented by the use of real time feedback Devices? - Quality Main advantage of effective teamwork? - Division of tasks CPR Coach - Supports performance of high-quality BLS skills allowing the team leader to focus on other aspects of clinical care Which is the best example of a role of the team leader - Excellent team behavior What is the best example of a role of a team member? - Prepared to fulfill their role responsibilities
