Continuous vital sign monitoring on surgical wards: The COSMOS pilot
Study objectives
Alerts for vital sign abnormalities seek to identify meaningful patient instability while limiting alarm fatigue. Optimal vital sign alarm settings for postoperative patients remain unknown, as is whether alerts lead to effective clinical responses reducing vital sign disturbances. We conducted a 2-phase pilot study to identify thresholds and delays and test the hypothesis that alerts from continuous monitoring reduce the duration of vital sign abnormalities.
Design
Two-phase pilot.
Patients
250 adults having major non-cardiac surgery.
Setting
Surgical wards.
Intervention
All patients had routine vital sign monitoring by nurses at 4-h intervals. We initially continuously recorded clinician-blinded saturation, heart rate, and respiratory rate in 100 patients. In the second phase, we randomized 150 patients to blinded versus unblinded continuous vital sign monitoring. In unblinded patients, nurses were verbally alerted to abnormal vital signs.
Measurements
In the first phase, we modeled expected alarm counts using 6082 h of continuous oxygen saturation, heart rate, and respiratory rate data. Thresholds and delays targeting ∼3 alarms per patient per day were selected for phase two. Primary analysis assessed the effect of unblinded monitoring across a 5-component primary composite of cumulative durations of vital sign abnormalities. Secondary outcomes included fraction of alerts deemed meaningful by nurses and number of clinical interventions.
Results
In phase one, we identified alarm settings that yielded an average of 2.3 alerts per patient per day. In phase two, the average relative effect ratio of geometric duration means for vital signs exceeding thresholds was 0.75 [95 % CI: 0.51, 1.1], P = 0.17. Sixty alarms (82 %) were deemed useful in unblinded patients, leading to 60 % more interventions in unblinded patients.
Conclusions
We were able to select continuous saturation, heart rate, and respiratory rate thresholds that generated about 2 alerts per patient per day, nearly all of which were considered useful by nurses. Unblinded monitoring and nursing alerts led to interventions (mostly increasing oxygen delivery) that non-significantly reduced vital sign abnormalities by 25 %.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
