Avoiding Adverse Events Secondary to Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression: Implications for Nurse Executives and Patient Safety.
The Journal of nursing administration(2016)
摘要
BACKGROUND:Guidelines with recommendations for monitoring type and timing of hospitalized patients for opioid-induced respiratory depression have been published, yet adverse events continue to occur.
OBJECTIVE:This study reports on the monitoring practices of 8 hospitals that volunteered to pilot test a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services e-quality measure that was under development. Recommendations for nurse executives are provided to support patient safety.
METHODS:Data on monitoring practices were collected retrospectively from the electronic medical records at 8 hospitals on all patients receiving intravenous (IV) opioids for more than 2.5 continuous hours via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Analysis included the percentage of patients who were monitored according to specific standards developed by a panel of technical experts with comparisons of naloxone use to monitoring practices.
RESULTS:Recommended patient assessments occurred in only 8.3% of the patients. No patients who were assessed at least every 2.5 hours received naloxone.
CONCLUSIONS:Care for patients receiving IV PCA is lacking in adherence to latest safety standards. Nurse executives must implement structures and processes to promote vigilance with evidence-based monitoring practices.
