Summary

To evaluate the effect of automated recording on frequency of recorded scores, number of automated notifications and serious events.

Detailed description

The frequency of EWS scores, number of automated notifications and serious events performed on a general ward is contingent on the quality and frequency of vital signs measurement like respiratory rate. This is due to the EWS escalation schemes of hospitals with an acute intervention team. Obtained sub-score trigger levels of vital signs contribute to higher and more frequent scoring. We examine the influence of different respiration rate sensor concepts and measurements on scoring (NEWS and CREWS) and workflow in a typical UK gastroenterology and respiratory ward.

Conditions

• Cardiac Arrest
• Renal Failure
• Respiration Failure
• Myocardial Infarction
• Severe Sepsis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Automatic RR Measurement	Different newly developed respiration rate sensors are applied at the bedside during the intervention phase which send data to the IntelliVue Guardian System.
