- W2164861611 abstract "Caring for trauma patients is a dynamic process, and it is often necessary to move the trauma patient around the hospital to different locations. This study attempted to document the quality of observations performed on acute trauma patients as they moved through the hospital during the first 24 hours of care.This study was a student elective and was undertaken at Grey's Hospital, Pietermaritzburg. A third-year medical student was assigned to follow acute trauma patients throughout the hospital during the first 24 hours after admission. This single independent observer recorded the frequency with which vital signs were recorded at each geographical location in the hospital for each patient. A scoring system was devised to classify the quality of the observations that each patient received in the different departments. The observer recorded all the geographical movements each patient made during the first 24 hours after admission.Fifteen patients were recruited into this study over a 4-week period. There were 14 adult males (average age 28 years, range 18 - 56 years) and a 7-year-old girl in the cohort. There were significant differences in the quality of the observations, depending on the geographical location in the hospital. These variations and differences were consistent in certain locations and highly variable in others. Observations in the intensive care unit (ICU) and operating theatre were uniformly excellent. In the radiology suite the level of observations was universally poor. In casualty and the wards there was great variability in the level of observation. A total of 45 distinct geographical visits were made by the study cohort. Each patient made an average of 3 (range 2 - 5) visits during their first 24 hours after admission. All patients attended casualty, and there were 11 patient visits to the ward, 10 to radiology, 4 to ICU and 5 to theatre.Significant variations exist in the level of observations of vital signs between different geographical locations within the hospital. This is problematic, as acute trauma patients need to be moved around the hospital as part of their routine care. If observations are not done and acted upon, subtle clinical deterioration may be overlooked and overt deterioration may be heralded by a catastrophic event." @default.
