Inter- and intra-hospital transport of the critically ill.
Intra- and inter-hospital transport is common due to the need for advanced diagnostics and procedures, and to provide access to specialized care. Risks are inherent during transport, so the anticipated benefits of transport must be weighed against the possible negative outcome during the transport. Adverse events are common in both in and out of hospital transports, the most common being equipm...
متن کاملVA Intra-Hospital Patient Transportation Design Team
The purpose of this Capstone Design Project is to create an improved system for transporting patients from one hospital unit to another for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). This new process is a paperless system that uses computerized forms to communicate between departments, electronic messages to assign tasks to employees, and automatically-generated control charts to monitor the pro...
متن کاملNeonatal head and torso vibration exposure during inter-hospital transfer
Inter-hospital transport of premature infants is increasingly common, given the centralisation of neonatal intensive care. However, it is known to be associated with anomalously increased morbidity, most notably brain injury, and with increased mortality from multifactorial causes. Surprisingly, there have been relatively few previous studies investigating the levels of mechanical shock and vib...
متن کاملBarotrauma developed during intra-hospital transfer -A case report-
A 74-year-old male patient receiving ventilatory support due to aspiration pneumonia developed bilateral pneumothorax, pneumopericardium, pneumomediastinum, pneumo-retroperitoneum, and subcutaneous emphysema, after manual ventilation while being transferred from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the operating room (OR). These complications were assumed to be secondary to inappropriate manual ven...
متن کاملModelling Hospital Patient Flow: Recent Developments and Future Directions
Modelling patient flow in health care systems is considered vital in understanding the system's activity and may therefore prove to be useful in improving their functionality. A measure, extensively used, is the average length of stay which, although easy to calculate and quantify, assumes normally distributed data thus making the subsequent modelling of resources totally unsuitable. In fact, s...
