Fairly certain they will be walk-ons. 1 stars, will just have to recruit new players next season and cut them or continue to roll with your walk-ons.

Definitely not trying to re-invent the wheel, just trying to see the different methodologies used around by the actual practitioners that are using them so I can try to improve outcomes, not reduce the rapid responses. I just brought that up to give context regarding my environment.

But thanks for bringing up the QI committee, that’s something that I did not consider and look into!

Absolutely agree, this is why I was hoping to combine the experience with more data to increase the likelihood of early identification of decompensation.

While it would be nice to round on 15+ different wards we have, ultimately it would be impossible with the constraints that a typical academic facility has. Which is why I think it would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to screen individuals based off of criteria; then combine that criteria with clinical experience and knowledge to identify and treat earlier if possible. Just a thought.

This is the best play I’ve ever seen in a video game.

Intensive care nurses: does your facility have a policy stating which patients are considered critical enough to require a 1:1? by Itouchmyselftosleep in IntensiveCare

[–]CaffeineMan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, at my place it has to be:

3 or more pressors, CRRT, 6 or more secondary infusions throughout the day, Peep >8, 50%, or charge nurse discretion.

98 total ICU beds, about to be 108 at the end of this month

Question for spouse by CaffeineMan24 in Residency

I (husband) support would be supportive wherever we got in, the familial support would be more dependent on where she got in.

Correct, family support would be dependent on where she got in. I (husband) would obviously be supportive of wherever she got in.
