DeviceUse Study

Project Name

DeviseUse Study

Purpose

Patient quality of care improvements in Critical Care.

• Monitor resource allocation and monitor complication rates related to length of ICU medical device use. (VAP, Central Line Related Blood stream Infection (CLR-BSI), unplanned extubations)

Who

Information to be collected from charts daily by Regional Database Team - Critical Care areas.

• Monitoring being done by the Critical Care QA Team along with the cross Canada ICU collaborative project teams CCVSM.

Where

Collected in L_Tmp

• Deposited into data repository L TmpV2 in the output folder on the Regional Server.

How often data is sent

• Information sent each week with sending to L TmpV2 even though patient files is not complete.

Template:Discussion Because the DeviceUse data will be repeatedly send each week to L_TMPV2, the collectors must be precise when entering dates and time for devices and not be putting dummy times in and keep changing them. The statistician will be reporting this information weekly regardless if the rest of file is completed or not. Will need to discuss this more later.

Items Collected

S_Tmp:

• Art line_IN - date & time
• Art line_OUT - date & time

• Central line_IN - date & time
• Central line_OUT

• PICC line _IN - date & time
• PICC line_OUT - date & time

• ETT_IN - date & time
• ETT_OUT - date & time - (bool_var) unplanned extubation check is YES

• Trach_IN - date & time
• Trach_OUT - date & time

• Vent start_IN - date & time
• Vent stop_OUT - date & time
  • DC Vent will be defined as OFF the ventilator for >=48 hrs

• BIPAP start_IN - date & time
• BIPAP stop_OUT - date & time
  • DC BIPAP will be defined as OFF the ventilator for >=24 hrs

Analysis

Will be handled by Statistician

1. number of central line days between Central Line Related Blood stream Infection (CLR-BSI)
2. number of Vent days between Central Line Related Blood stream Infection (CLR-BSI)
3. number of Vent days between unplanned extubations
4. number of Vent days between VAP??
