RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) episodes before and after the introduction of a clinical pathway known as the Severance Protocol to save postpartum bleeding through Expeditious care Delivery (SPEED). DESIGN: This study was designed as a retrospective analysis. SETTING: The study was conducted in a hospital implementing SPEED. PARTICIPANTS: The non-SPEED group included 74 patients with PPH who were treated before the introduction of SPEED, whereas the SPEED group included 155 patients. METHODS: Differences in outcomes were compared between groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Reduction in treatment duration was the primary outcome measure, whereas uterus preservation was the secondary. RESULTS: No significant intergroup differences were observed for hemoglobin levels, hematocrit values and vital signs upon patients' emergency room arrival. The turnaround time for hemoglobin, mean duration until treatment by obstetricians and gynecologists and duration between chest radiography ordering and performance significantly differed between the two groups (SPEED, 10.0 [1.0-30.0], 3.0 [0-25.0] and 23.0 [1.0-86.0] min, respectively; non-SPEED, 17.0 [1.0-37.0], 12.0 [0-62.0] and 46.0 [1.0-580.0] min, respectively; P < 0.001). Similarly, the mean duration until transfusion of cross-matched red blood cells (SPEED, 77.6 ± 58.6 min; non-SPEED, 103.4 ± 64.4 min; P = 0.015) and uterus preservation rate (SPEED, 90.1% [136/151]; non-SPEED, 81.7% [58/71]; P = 0.043) also differed significantly between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical pathways enable prompt and efficient care for patients experiencing PPH through faster evaluation and access to red blood cell transfusion, resulting in a decrease in maternal mortality.

RESUMO

Patient safety regarding wrong site surgery has been one of the priority issues in surgical fields including that of spine care. Since the wrong-side surgery in the DM foot patient was reported on a public mass media in 1996, the wrong-site surgery issue has attracted wide public interest as regarding patient safety. Despite the many wrong-site surgery prevention campaigns in spine care such as the operate through your initial program by the Canadian Orthopaedic Association, the sign your site program by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeon, the sign, mark and X-ray program by the North American Spine Society, and the Universal Protocol program by the Joint Commission, the incidence of wrong-site surgery has not decreased. To prevent wrong-site surgery in spine surgeries, the spine surgeons must put patient safety first, complying with the hospital policies regarding patient safety. In the operating rooms, the surgeons need to do their best to level the hierarchy, enabling all to speak up if any patient safety concerns are noted. Changing the operating room culture is the essential part of the patient safety concerning spine surgery.
