Respiratory Depression:

Summary of the\u00a0Respiratory Depression: Beyond the PACU, before the ICU w<\/strong>ritten by:\u00a0Ashish K. Khanna, MD\u00a0Staff Intensivist and\u00a0Anesthesiologist,\u00a0Assistant Professor\u00a0of Anesthesiology,\u00a0Center for Critical Care\u00a0and Departments of\u00a0General Anesthesiology\u00a0and OUTCOMES\u00a0RESEARCH,\u00a0Anesthesiology Institute,\u00a0Cleveland Clinic is summarized by John Zaleski<\/span><\/p>\n

The Medscape article, \u201cRespiratory Depression in the Postoperative Period\u201d by Khanna et al. describes the challenges faced in managing patients receiving postoperative opioids, particularly on the general care floor where continuous monitoring has not traditionally been the norm.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The occurrence of hypoxemia beyond PACU and outside of ICU is a common and persistent one and goes largely undetected. Furthermore, neither the STOP-BANG score nor the use of long-term opioids seem to herald the onset and detection of hypoxemia postoperatively.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The general recommendation is that continuous monitoring, particularly pulse oximetry and capnography, but measurements of arterial oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and blood pressure should be part of a continuous monitoring protocol in all general care floor patients in order to provide early identification of the onset of respiratory depression.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Bernoulli’s\u00a0real-time system for patient safety overcomes the challenges associated with respiratory depression surveillance by:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Connecting to your existing pulse oximeters and capnographs, even from multiple vendors<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Provides centralized monitoring of patients at risk or respiratory depression<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Uses exclusive multi-variable analytics \u2013 set by the hospital \u2013 to identify clinically actionable events<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Integrates with mobile clinical communications systems to deliver the right alarm to the right clinician<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Bernoulli’s Bernoulli\u00a0One<\/em>\u2122 platform, a clinical middleware platform that incorporates an integrated, end to end solution for device integration, alarm management, real-time clinical surveillance and Virtual ICU that can support respiratory workflow and provide a uniform approach to ventilator weaning and empower staff with the needed knowledge to improve clinical outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
