***The focus is to determine number of days with each device but if the device is present on admission it is not necessary to try to find prior date and time for this. If the device is removed or stopped for a few days and then a new device is used, this new date and time needs to be documented, ensuring that the original date and time of removal or stop is indicated.

***A separate item is unplanned extubations. Even when this occurs, be sure to also indicate ETT out date and time even if it is the same as the unplanned. This is necessary because the pt may be re-intubated and then the ETT out will not be completed at the same date and time because the ETT days will continue.

Further instructions will follow as we start working with this tool. Anyone can start trialing this any time because Tina has put it on the laptops. This only applies to critical care collectors. Feedback is welcomed as you start collecting this information. The actual project will start Jan 1, 2011 but you are encouraged to work with it on a trial basis somewhat before that date so that you are familiar with it and all the glitches can be worked out.
