Abstract

Background: Discharge delays of Medical-Surgical Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) following tonsillectomy or tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy (T&A) negatively impact hospital bed availability.

Aim statement: This project identified process improvements to reduce discharge delays and increase PICU bed availability.

Methods: A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was implemented to identify care and process failures that result in discharge delays.

Intervention: Through the FMEA, failure risk profile numbers with the highest impact were recognized for improvement (Institute for Healthcare Improvement, 2017; VHA National Center for Patient Safety, 2023).

Results: Forty failure modes were identified. High-impact failures included not administering dexamethasone early for patient pain or desaturation, intervening for desaturations consistent with the patient's baseline, and not anticipating family needs for discharge.

Conclusions: The FMEA identified several actionable changes that if implemented, could promote timely discharge of patients with OSA following tonsillectomy or T&A.

评估扁桃体切除术术后患者从内外科 PICU 出院延迟的故障模式和影响分析。

背景：扁桃体切除术或扁桃体切除加腺样体切除术（T&A）后，内外科儿科重症监护病房（PICU）阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）患者的出院延迟对医院床位的可用性产生了负面影响：该项目确定了改进流程的方法，以减少出院延迟并提高 PICU 病床的可用性：方法：实施故障模式和影响分析（FMEA），以确定导致出院延迟的护理和流程故障：干预措施：通过 FMEA，确认影响最大的故障风险概况编号，以便进行改进（医疗保健改进研究所，2017 年；VHA 国家患者安全中心，2023 年）：结果：确定了 40 种故障模式。影响较大的故障包括：未针对患者疼痛或饱和度降低及早使用地塞米松、未根据患者的基线对饱和度降低进行干预，以及未预见出院时家属的需求：FMEA 确定了几项可行的改进措施，如果实施这些措施，可促进扁桃体切除术或 T&A 术后 OSA 患者及时出院。
