Implementation of Postoperative Respiratory Care for Pediatric Orthopedic Patients

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: At our institution, one-fifth of pediatric patients undergoing hip and spine surgery require prolonged oxygen supplementation, most likely due to postoperative atelectasis. Using quality improvement methodology, we aimed to implement an innovative postoperative respiratory care algorithm for hip and spine surgery patients, with a global aim of improving respiratory outcomes.

“…In addition, adverse events associated with unrecognized misplaced ETTs may be modifiable or minimized with measures to ensure more prompt recognition and adjustment. For example, an increased rate of atelectasis may not be clinically significant in the short-term, but uncorrected it has been shown to progress to important clinical complications, such as prolonged hypoxia or the development of pneumonia (27). For these reasons, we felt that reporting the frequency of adverse events associated with misplaced ETTs that initially go undetected was important.…”

“…However, due to their simplicity and simple rules for detecting non-random patterns and variation over time, the run chart has been described as the 'universal tool' for virtually every improvement project. 11 They have been employed by clinical teams for a wide variety of health care processes such as HIV screening in primary care, 12 for inpatient bronchiolitis, 13 chemotherapy, 14 measuring inpatient harms, 15 central line associated bacteraemia, 16 orthopaedics, 17 acute coronary syndrome, 18 inhaled corticosteroid prescribing, 19 insulin therapy 20 and also by patients. 5,21 At the time of the study, the two PHOs also used run charts to track immunisation and to illustrate progress towards population health priority areas such as giving brief advice for smoking cessation.…”
