Coalition For Sepsis Survival Marketing Plan

Critically ill patients that require mechanical ventilation are at risk of developing secondary infections that may increase length of stay and possibly even morbidity. This fragile patient population requires special attention and meticulous adherence to established nursing standards of care. These standards of care are founded on evidenced based practices. It is important that nurses receive education about why these standards are in place and what consequences can result due to not following the established care protocols.

The aim of the essay is to analyse the care of a septic patient. While discussing the relevant physiological changes and the rationale for the treatment the patient received, concentrating on fluid intervention. I recognise there are other elements to the Surviving Sepsis Bundles, however due to word limitation; the focus will be on fluid intervention. The essay will be written as a Case Study format.

As I reflect on the evaluations of my presentations, I had the opportunity to request how well the information I presented informed my fellow nurses and managers. I am content with my research and prepared work. I feel I was able to design a renewed importance to the sepsis diagnosis and how we can create more effective teaching tools. On my evaluations, I was able to request the attendees to review my teaching and presentation abilities, use current standards and utilize reputable peer- reviewed articles as a form of a reference, and develop a comprehensible early recognition strategies of sepsis for nurses and case managers. After handing out my evaluations to my attendees and presenting my sepsis presentation I asked the attendees to rate

These factors influence the success of marketing in health care. It also provides the requirements for successful marketing and current techniques and strategies used by health care organizations.

The aim of this assignment is to critically discuss the nursing assessment individualised care and nursing interventions of the acutely ill patient. The patient discussed developed severe sepsis due to a urinary tract infection and her condition deteriorated during the recovery process in the nurse’s care. Lovick (2009) defines sepsis ‘as a known or suspected infection accompanied by evidence of two or more of the SIRS criteria’. SIRS is outlined as a ‘systemic inflammatory response’ consisting of two or more of the following symptoms ‘temperature >38 degrees Celsius or 90 beats per minute, respiratory rates greater than 20 breaths per minute and white blood count higher than 12,000 cells per microliter or lower than 4000 cells per

In 2013, a magnet recognized hospital, Baptist Health Lexington, reduced CAUTI rates in ICU patients by 60% (Roser, Piercy & Altpeter, 2014). The study included six interventions that were followed by the staff in the effort to reduce CAUTI. The six interventions included: “communication of CAUTI data to interdisciplinary teams, a nurse-driven, physician approved protocol, problem analysis using Lean principles, daily unit-based surveillance rounds, silver alloy urinary catheters, and an antimicrobial bundle comprised of two cleansing products for patients with an indwelling urinary catheter” (Roser, Piercy & Altpeter, 2014). The nurse-physician protocol allowed for nurses to assess whether the catheter was still necessary and if found not to be, the nurse could discontinue it. This resulted in a 58% decrease in the number of catheters used (Roser, Piercy & Altpeter, 2014). An education session was implemented by nurses using principles from the Lean system that checked the capability of nurses to understand just how dangerous CAUTI can be. It was found that no single intervention alone could reduce the occurrence of CAUTI development. Nurses must integrate several interventions to have an effective result at lowering the rates. However, this particular study found that after the use of the antimicrobial bundle, rates of CAUTI did decline. Roser et al. (2014) emphasized that education and awareness of

To encourage physicians, ICU nurses, and respiratory therapist to use the ventilator associated pneumonia bundle in all ventilated patients in an intensive care unit.

The progress of my project to develop a nurse driven sepsis screening tool and an algorithm for implementation on the intensive care unit (ICU) for early identification and prompt treatment of septic patients has progressed remarkably well. I have been productive in gathering current guidelines for sepsis with the aid of my preceptor who is a critical care nurse practitioner on the ICU. With his help, I have been able to assemble key pieces of research to create a sepsis screening tool, and a treatment algorithm with sepsis resuscitation bundles. Extensive research has been conducted to integrate evidence-based practice in my project. I have also spent time with the unit educator, critical care intensivists, and my colleagues in brainstorming and collecting ideas about my project.

Sepsis is a severe complication of an inflammatory response due to various pathogens with the mortality rates ranging anywhere between twenty-five to thirty percent (Epstein, Dantes, Magill, & Fiore, 2016). Sepsis can be precipitated by various infections including some of the most common ones, like urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and cellulitis. An early sepsis recognition is crucial in improving patient outcomes and decreasing mortality rate. Thus, it is very important for a health care provider to start the necessary diagnostics and implementation of fluids, antibiotics, vasopressors and other necessary treatments based on the

The priority population is the staff of a school where I am introducing a trauma informed care program based on a prepared program based on A.C.E.S training. All of the school staff is included in this cultural shift. This is to insure that students will be consistently treated the same way whether they have an encounter with a cafeteria worker, a paraprofessional, or a teacher. The adults in the school will be the example and the leadership that models the program to the students and it will be important to involve in them implementation process.

I am writing this letter on behalf of cohort 3. We are not sure if you are aware of the new changes that were brought to us on August 31, 2015 in regards to Hesi. We were given a list of case studies, reviews, quizzes, and practice quizzes from classes that were taken prior to the transition to Hesi that must be completed prior to our critical care course, which is in November.

I believe it’s important to the Science of Nursing because early recognition will prevent organ dysfunction which can lead to death. In some cases, the SSC recommended Early Goal Directed Therapy (EGDT) based on patient presentation, vital sign and lab studies. The EGDT bundles consist of early Intravenous Fluid (IV) resuscitation and IV broad spectrum antibiotics should be given within three hours of serum lactate. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), it’s documented from 1999-2014, a total of 2,470,666 deaths were associated with sepsis (CDC, 2016). After reading the CDC fact sheet, my conclusion is that most of the sepsis cases that the EGDT bundle was not initiated on time (six hour compliance) due to early recognition of signs and symptoms presented upon arrival and the lack of communication between team members which delayed EGDT greater than six hour window. From the studies that I have read, the Surviving Sepsis Campaign

Education interventions are very significant in the understanding of different stages of sepsis such as septic shock, uncomplicated sepsis, and severe sepsis. The progression of this disease varies from one person to another, and it can occur to some people through the three stages. Therefore, having a clear understanding of all the three phases that sepsis exists can help in the diagnosis of the diseases effectively. Additionally, education will provide an avenue and strategy of providing optimal care to the patient, and that will contribute to managing their condition. Sometimes the patients may not respond to the treatment administered, and as a result, they can develop multiple organ diseases. Hence, education will provide all the required knowledge to understand and know the various dynamic of the diseases and how it progress in a patient.
