TL;DR: Hospitals should implement an RRS, which consists of four elements: an afferent, “crisis detection” and “response triggering” mechanism; an efferent, predetermined rapid response team; a governance/administrative structure to supply and organize resources; and a mechanism to evaluate crisis antecedents and promote hospital process improvement to prevent future events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patients' recollections of stressful experiences while receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit.
Armando J. Rotondi,Lakshmipathi Chelluri,Carl A. Sirio,Aaron B. Mendelsohn,Richard Schulz,Steven H. Belle,Kelly Im,Michael P. Donahoe,Michael R. Pinsky +8 more
TL;DR: Stressful experiences associated with the endotracheal tube were strongly associated with subjects’ experiencing spells of terror, feeling nervous when left alone, and poor sleeping patterns, which suggests the potential for improved symptom management, which could contribute to a less stressful intensive care unit stay and improved patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term mortality and quality of life after prolonged mechanical ventilation*
Lakshmipathi Chelluri,Kyung Ah Im,Steven H. Belle,Richard Schulz,Armando J. Rotondi,Michael P. Donahoe,Carl A. Sirio,Aaron B. Mendelsohn,Michael R. Pinsky +8 more
TL;DR: Long-term mortality rate is associated with older age and poor prehospitalization functional status, and many survivors needed assistance after discharge from the hospital, and more than half still required caregiver assistance at 1 yr of follow-up.

TL;DR: Major findings include: vital sign aberrations predict risk, monitoring patients more effectively may improve outcome, and the workload implications of monitoring on the clinical workforce have not been explored, but are amenable to study and should be investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a symptom assessment instrument for chronic hemodialysis patients: the dialysis symptom index

TL;DR: An index to assess physical and emotional symptom burden in hemodialysis patients and four steps in the generation of this index: a review of dialysis quality-of-life instruments, three focus groups, experts' content validity assessment, and test-retest reliability measurement.
