    RECOGNISING AND RESPONDING TO EARLY SIGNS OF DETERIORATIONINHOSPITAL PATIENTS

    INTRODUCTION

    Any patient in hospital may become acutely ill. However, therecognition of acuteillness is often delayed and its subsequentmanagement may be inappropriate. Thismay result in late referraland avoidable admissions to critical care, and may leadtounnecessary patient deaths, particularly when the initialstandard of care issuboptimal (NICE 2007).

    It is widely agreed that clear identifiable signs ofdeterioration can be seen in patientsbecoming critically ill in thehours preceding either an ICU admission or a cardiacarrest (Schien1990, Franklin and Mathew 1994). Ridley (2005) highlights, thattheearly recognition and management of critical illness isessential for the effectivemanagement of the patient. The use of asystem to score the patients observationscan then be used totrigger early identification and appropriate management. Thereareseveral types of these scoring systems but they all essentiallyfunction in thesame manner.

    The Patient at Risk Score (PARS) is used in the WorcestershireAcute Hospitals.This system is based on objective physiologicalparameters being scored accordingto the amount of deviation fromnormal. The scores are weighted depending on the

    severity of deviation. The aggregate score is then calculatedand acted uponaccordingly.

    The use of PARS was supported in The Nursing Contribution to theProvision ofComprehensive Critical Care for Adults (DOH 2001) andis recommended by theNational Institute for Clinical Excellence(NICE) in the guidelines published in July2007.

    The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death(NCEPOD) report(2005), states that Respiratory rates (RRs) shouldbe recorded wheneverobservations are made as they are a clearindicator of a deteriorating patient.

    This guideline concerns the reduction of harm for patients whosephysiologicalcondition deteriorates and makes evidence-basedrecommendations on therecognition and management of acute illnessin acute hospitals.

    Worcestershire Acute NHS trust has pledged to staff that itregards the safety ofpatients as the highest priority.

    Aim: To Reduce in-hospital cardiac arrest and mortality ratethrough earlierrecognition and treatment of the deterioratingpatient

    DETAILS OF GUIDELINE

    NICE (2007) advocate that adult patients in acute hospitalsettings, including patientsin the emergency department for whom aclinical decision to admit have been mademust have:

    Physiological observations recorded at the time of theiradmission or initialassessment

    A clear written monitoring plan that specifies whichphysiological observationsshould be recorded and how often. Theplan should take account of the:- patients diagnosis-presence of comorbidities-agreed treatment plan.

    Physiological observations be recorded and acted upon by staffwho havebeen trained in these procedures and understand theirclinical relevance.Staff caring for patients in acute hospitalsettings must have competencies inmonitoring, measurement,interpretation and prompt response to the acutelyill patientappropriate to the level of care they are providing. Educationand

    training will be provided to ensure staff are competent(Competencyguidelines available on hospital intranet and each wardarea has a PARS linknurse who can provide training andassessment).

    Early Warning Scoring (EWS) to be completed at each set ofphysiological

    observations. The system implemented across the Worcester AcuteTrust is

    Patient at Risk Score(PARS)(appendix 1)

    Patient at risk scoring systems are based on objectivephysiological parameters andhelp in the early identification ofdeteriorating patients on the wards. Thephysiological aspectsconsidered are the patients blood pressure, heart rate,respiratoryrate, urine output, temperature and level of consciousness. Thescoresare weighted depending on the severity of deviation from thenorm. The aggregatescore is then calculated and acted uponaccordingly.

    PARS should include AVPU and UO in the calculation (seebelow).

    Recognising And Responding To Early Signs Of Deterioration InHospital Patients

    WAHT-CRI-016 Page 4 of 16 Version 2.2

    PARS should be calculated when an adult patient is transferredto a new ward

    including on transfer from the Emergency Department.

    PARS should be calculated on ALL adult in-patients within theacute hospital.

    PARS should be calculated on adult in-patients exiting theatrerecovery prior

    to transfer.

    When an adult patient is transferred out of a critical care area(i.e. HDU / ITU).

    PARS should also be used as an indication of how frequentlyobservations needto be performed and a graded response strategy forpatients identified as beingat risk of clinical deteriorationshould be utilised and consists of the following

    three levels. It is found on the reverse of the Observation/PARS chart:-

    LOWscore PARS 0-1; continue at current frequency ofobservations, but aminimum ofonce per shift.

    MEDIUM score PARS 2; increase frequency of observations to aminimum of4 hourly, and inform nurse / midwife in charge.

    HIGH score PARS 3 >; call for senior review by DR / Nurse /CCOT , patient

    requires urgent review within 1 hour, increase frequency ofobservations to 2 4 hourly.(In recovery patients with PARS >3should have a senior review prior totransfer.)

    Important note; PARS 6 > patients are at extreme risk andrequire immediatereview by personnel with skills to assesscritically ill patients (NICE 2007).

    OBSERVATIONS

    Physiological observations should be monitored at least once pershift, unless adecision has been made at a senior level to increaseor decrease this frequency foran individual patient.

    To be able to calculate accurate PARS the following should beassessed anddocumented.

    HR (heart rate) Palpate a pulse, assess rhythm and rate.

    RR (respiratory rate) Record rate on everyset of observations(NCePOD2005). RR is an important indicator ofclinicaldeterioration.

    BP (Systolic blood If automated machines giving an inaccurate orsuspectpressure) reading then check with a manualsphygmomanometer.

    Temperature Internal body temperature is preferable overaxilla.

    UO (urine output) Output is an important indicator of the bodysfunctioningability. A urine output of < 0.5 mls / kg / hr is amarkerthat the kidneys are not functioning correctly(accurateweight is desirable).

    AVPU (neurology) Alert: responds to Voice: responds toPain:Unresponsive: AVPU is a quick and easy method toassess levelof consciousness. Change inconsciousness is another sensitiveindicator of clinicaldeterioration.

    Note:AVPU system does not remove the necessity for the GlasgowComa Scale (GCS) tobe used on patients within an altered consciouslevel or any neurological conditions.The GCS chart is now formattedin the same manner as a PARS chart and hasallocated space for PARSto be recorded.

    ACCURACY OF PARS & COMPLETION OF CHARTS

    It is important to calculate accurate PARS to determine theseverity of deteriorationin the patient and allow appropriatetreatment & interventions to be commenced.

    To calculate correct PARS it is important to have a complete setof observationsdocumented including AVPU and UO. If UO is unable tobe determined then it stillneeds to be identified and documented onthe PARS chart as U.

    FLUID BALANCE MONITORING

    Strict fluid balance monitoring is an essential tool for allacutely unwell patients. Acorrect balance provides valuableinformation regarding the patients input (oral andIV) and output(urine / stoma loss / NG loss / diarrhoea). A correct fluidbalancechart will help determine the correct course of treatmentneeded for the patient andenables staff to monitor theeffectiveness of such treatment.

    All patients with either a urinary catheter or an intravenousinfusion shouldbe on afluid balance chart. Where possible a pumpshould be used for infusing intravenousfluids, drugs or blood toensure it is delivered over the specified time period.

    Correct calculation of UO is discussed above and this needs tobe documented onboth fluid balance chart and the PARS chart.

    ESCALATION OF CARE

    It is imperative that a patients care is escalated when a PARSis triggered or thereare concerns that a patient is deteriorating.A referral should be made to a Doctorand /or Critical Care OutreachTeam or Nurse Practitioner for assessment.Indicate on the PARSobservation chart what action has been taken and who thepatient hasbeen referred to (see appendix 1).All referrals should bedocumented in the patients case notes. There are referralstampsavailable on all adult clinical areas to facilitate this.

    When making referrals consider:

    Using referral communication tool (see appendix 2).

    Medical Emergency Team (MET) or cardiac arrest call via dialling2222 for lifethreatening deterioration.

    If you need immediate attendance, fast bleep a team or aparticular Doctor bydialling 2222.

    When you have a sick patient it may be prudent to refer tosenior members ofthe Parent team e.g. SHO or Registrar level,rather that the FY1.

    If junior medical staff is unavailable, it is acceptablepractice to escalate thereferral up to senior Doctors includingConsultant level.

    Nurse Practitioners/ Critical Care Outreach referral (seeClinical Supportsection of this guideline)

    CRITICAL CARE REFERRAL

    If the team caring for the patient considers that admission to acritical care area isclinically indicated, then the decision toadmit should involve both the consultantcaring for the patient onthe ward and the consultant in critical care.

    TRANSFER/STEPDOWN FROM CRITICAL CARE

    After the decision to transfer a patient from a critical carearea to the general wardhas been made, he or she should betransferred as early as possible during the day.Transfer fromcritical care areas to the general ward between 22.00 and07.00should be avoided whenever possible, and should be documentedas an adverseincident if it occurs.

    The critical care area transferring team and the receiving wardteam should takeshared responsibility for the care of the patientbeing transferred. They should jointlyensure:

    there is continuity of care through a formal structured handoverof care fromcritical care area staff to ward staff (including bothmedical and nursing staff),
