Failure To Rescue
• When a complication is not recognized in a timely manner or treated
appropriately
– Many deaths and permanent disabilities could be avoided if:
– Adopted safe practices
• Implemented systems that facilitate patient safety
• Failure to Rescue is a measure of hospital quality
• More dependent on the hospital characteristics than the acuity of the
patient

Failure to Rescue Post-Operative Surgical Patients
• Opioid analgesics are associated with adverse effects and cause respiratory
depression
- 0.5% of post-surgical patients
• Opioid-related adverse drug events – including deaths –reported to
The Joint Commission’s Sentinel Event database (2004-2011)
- 47% wrong dosing medication errors
- 29% improper monitoring of the patient
- 11% other factors including dosing, med interactions, adverse drug reactions

APSF Recommendations (2011)
• All patients should have oxygenation monitored by continuous pulse oximetry
(Patient Surveillance System)
• Measure adequacy of ventilation when supplemental oxygen is needed
• Intermittent checks of oxygenation (oximetry) and ventilation (nursing
assessment) are inadequate
• Assessment of consciousness/sedation is critical
• Alarm fatigue and inadequacy of threshold-based alarms

Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert
(August 8, 2012)
Causes of adverse events
Lack of knowledge about potency
Improper prescribing/multiple opioids
Inadequate monitoring

CMS Proposed Quality Measure #3040
(2013)
• Calls for “appropriate monitoring of patients receiving PCA”
• Defined as maximum period between documented respiratory rate, sedation
score and pulse oximetry does not exceed 2.5 hours
• Intermittent monitoring would meet the minimum requirement
• CMS received significant feedback that monitoring should be continuous
• Final determination not announced yet by CMS

Actions
• Standardized post-operative opioid (PCA) order sets. Over 50
different sets existed.
• Stopped continuous PCA in opioid naïve patients
• Instituted the :Oxygen Withdrawal Trial” in PACU
• Screened pre-operatively for patients at increased risk for respiratory
depression and applied blueberry wrist band
Founder:
2014 Summit Co-Convener:
Considerations
• Sedation precedes respiratory pauses. (Rising PaCO2)
• Sedation drugs can potentiate respiratory depression. (esp. phenergan,
benadryl)
• Avoid rapid dose escalation in opioid tolerant patients
• Avoid using opioids to meet an arbitrary pain rating
• Dosing should be based on individual’s need and condition
• Take extra precautions when transferring between departments and facilities
• Deployment of continuous monitoring of respiration, oxygenation with a closed
loop notification

OUTCOMES
Orthopedic Surgical Floor 0.83 Rapid Response Team (RRT) Calls per Month
All Hospital: 8 RRT Calls per month reduced to 3.58
No Postoperative Respiratory Depression deaths
