  • Early Detection of Patient Deterioration on the General Care Floor: Instituting Effective Vital Sign Monitoring

    Carla Jungquist, PhD, ANP-BC, FAAN , Meera Joshi, PhD, MBBS, MRCS 49 minutes
    Unexpected adverse events resulting in transfer to the ICU occur in up to 9% of patients on the general care floor (GCF). Changes in ventilation have been found to be a key sign of patient deterioration. Early detection of respiratory insufficiency is key as for every hour of delay in detecting patient deterioration on the GCF increases the risk of death in the ICU by 1.5% and mortality by 1%. This webinar will describe the current evidence and cost savings associated with continuous respiratory monitoring on the general care floor.
