Developing a model for quantifying staffing requirements in the post-anaesthesia care unit.

Nurse managers in charge of a post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) face the task of optimising staffing levels and must be able to justify staffing needs to the wider operational team. The high variability in patient numbers and acuity that characterises the PACU, as well as the broader factors that affect patient flow to and from the PACU, make it challenging to quantify staffing requirements. Staffing models often fail to reflect accurately the needs of patients and therefore the needs of the unit and there is no recommended model for quantifying PACU staffing requirements. In this article, the author describes the challenges of quantifying PACU staffing requirements and the suitability of different types of data. The author also discusses factors to consider when developing model for quantifying PACU staffing requirements.

Escala de avaliação de enfermagem para o paciente na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica: construção e validação / Nursing assessment scale for patients in the post-anesthesia care unit: construction and validation

Introdução: a ocorrência de complicações no paciente em Sala de Recuperação Pós-Anestésica está diretamente relacionada às condições clínicas pré-operatórias, à extensão e tipo de cirurgia, às intercorrências cirúrgicas e anestésicas, bem como à efetividade das medidas terapêuticas aplicadas. Objetivo: construir e validar escala de Avaliação de Enfermagem para o paciente na Sala de Recuperação Pós-Anestésica. Metodologia: trata-se de uma pesquisa metodológica, para construção e validação de uma escala denominada "Avaliação de Enfermagem para o paciente na Sala de Recuperação Pós-Anestésica - AEPRA", desenvolvida em dois campos, o primeiro, um Hospital da Rede Pública Federal de Belo Horizonte, e o segundo, um Hospital da rede Municipal de Sete Lagoas. A escolha dos itens que compuseram a escala foi baseada nos resultados evidenciados em síntese de literatura, a saber: temperatura axilar, frequência cardíaca, respiração, pressão arterial sistólica, saturação periférica de oxigênio, consciência, movimentação, dor, náusea e vômito e ferida operatória, onde cada um dos dez (10) itens tem o escore mínimo de um (1) e o máximo de quatro (4), assim o escore pode variar de 10 a 40 pontos. A validação aparente e de conteúdo foi realizada com dez (10) juízes, por meio dos Índices de Validade de Conteúdo. A análise de confiabilidade foi realizada por meio do Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse. Foram avaliados cada item que compôs a escala, bem como globalmente, por dois interobservadores, separadamente e concomitantemente. Para validade de critério concorrente e validação de critério preditiva, realizou-se o cálculo amostral, e a aplicação da escala em 86 pacientes, adultos, com classificação de American Society of Anesthesiologists I, II ou III, submetidos a diversos tipos de procedimentos anestésicos-cirúrgicos. Para validação de critério concorrente, considerou-se como padrão ouro a Escala de Aldrete e Kroulik, e a análise por meio da correlação de Spearman. Para validade de critério preditivo da complicação foi utilizado o método Generalized Equations Estimating. A verificação do melhor ponto de corte do escore total para a alta, foram avaliadas as curvas Receiver Operating Characteristic e a Area Under the Curve. Resultados: a validação aparente e de conteúdo obteve a média global de 89% e a análise de confiabilidade por meio do Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse obteve confiabilidade global de 0,91. Quanto a validade de critério, foi realizada a comparação entre a escala proposta e a padrão ouro, sendo que houve correlação significativa (Valor-p <0,001) e positiva, com "r" igual ou maior 0,5, para todos os parâmetros e entre o total de cada uma das escalas; exceto para o parâmetro ventilação/respiração (Valor-p = 0,397). Em relação à validade de critério preditiva, a análise multivariada revelou fortemente a relação dos parâmetros temperatura, pressão arterial sistólica, saturação periférica de oxigênio e mobilidade como ocorrência de complicações. Por meio das curvas Receiver Operating Characteristic e a Area Under the Curve, tem-se nos pontos de corte 39 (AUC = 0,667) e 38 (AUC = 0,594), evidenciando os melhores pontos de corte. Conclusão: A escala de Avaliação de Enfermagem para o paciente na Sala de Recuperação Pós-Anestésica, é um instrumento confiável e válido para avaliação do paciente na Sala de Recuperação Pós-Anestésica.

Introduction: the occurrence of complications in patients in the Post-Anesthetic Recovery Room is directly related to preoperative clinical conditions, the extent and type of surgery, surgical and anesthetic complications, as well as the effectiveness of therapeutic measures applied. Objective: build and validate the Nursing Assessment Scale for patient in Post-Anesthetic Recovery Room. Methodology: this is a methodological research, for the construction and validation of a scale called "Nursing Assessment for patient in Post-Anesthetic Recovery Room - NAPPARR", developed in two fields, first, a Hospital of the Federal Public Network. of Belo Horizonte, and second, a Hospital Municipal of Sete Lagoas. The choice of items that made up the scale was based on the results evidenced in a synthesis of literature, namely: axillary temperature, heart rate, breathing, systolic blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation, consciousness, movement, pain, nausea and vomiting and surgical wound, each of ten (10) items has a minimum score of one (1) and a maximum of four (4), so the score can vary from 10 to 40 points. The face and content validation was performed with ten (10) judges, using Content Validity Indexes. Reliability analysis was performed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. Each item that composed the scale was evaluated, as well as globally, by two interobservers, separately and concomitantly. For concurrent criterion validity and predictive criterion validation, the sample size calculation was performed, and the scale was applied to 86 adult patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists I, II or III, who underwent different types of anesthetic procedures- surgical. For validation of concurrent criteria, the Aldrete and Kroulik Scale was considered as the gold standard, and the analysis by means of the Spearman correlation. For validity of predictive criteria for complications, the Generalized Equations Estimating method was used. To verify the best cut-off point of the total score for discharge, the Receiver Operating Characteristic and Area Under the Curve curves were evaluated. Results: the apparent validation and the content obtained an overall average of 89% and the reliability analysis using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient obtained an overall reliability of 0.91. As criterion validity, a comparison was made between the proposed scale and the gold standard, and there was a significant (p-value <0.001) and positive correlation, with "r" equal to or bigger than 0.5, for all parameters and between the total of each of the scales; except for the ventilation/respiration parameter (p-value = 0.397). Regarding the predictive criterion validity, the multivariate analysis strongly revealed the relationship of the parameters temperature, systolic blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation and mobility as the occurrence of complications. Through the Receiver Operating Characteristic curves and the Area Under the Curve, the cut-off points 39 (AUC = 0.667) and 38 (AUC = 0.594) are found, showing the best cut-off points. Conclusion: The Nursing Assessment Scale for the patient in the Post-Anesthetic Recovery Room is a reliable and valid instrument for the evaluation of the patient in the Post-Anesthetic Recovery Room.

Dor na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica: incidência e fatores preditivos / Pain in the post-anesthetic recovery room: incidence and predictive factors

Objetivo: Analisar a incidência da dor e seus fatores preditivos na sala de recuperação anestésica. Método: Trata-se de um estudo em três fases: (1) revisão sistemática de literatura. Esta fase seguiu as recomendações metodológicas do Instituto Joanna Briggs para revisões de etiologia e fatores de risco; (2) estudo observacional, analítico, prospectivo, realizado em dois momentos de avaliação, antes e depois do procedimento cirúrgico. Como local para o estudo, foi escolhido o Centro Cirúrgico de um hospital universitário do estado de Minas Gerais. Para seleção dos pacientes, foi feita uma amostragem não probabilística, por conveniência, dos casos consecutivos os quais realizaram cirurgia eletiva, nos meses de fevereiro a setembro de 2019. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. A coleta de dados ocorreu em duas fases, primeira durante o período pré-operatório, na sala de recepção do Centro Cirúrgico e a segunda na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica. (3) formulação deum modelo preditivo utilizando como tratamento estatístico Path Analysis. Os ajustes do modelo foram verificados por meio dos índices de ajuste Comparative Fit Indexe Root Mean Square Error of Approximation. Resultados:(1) Na revisão sistemática foram achados 735 estudos e selecionados 10 para a síntese. Os principais fatores de risco achados foram idade, sexo, ansiedade, tabagismo, uso de opioide, classificação do estado clínico, tempo de cirurgia, tipo de cirurgia. Com estes resultados foi construído um questionário para coleta de dados utilizado na segunda fasedo estudo. (2) No estudo observacional, a amostra final foi constituída por 226pacientes,189 (83,6%) foi do sexo feminino e com idade média de 47,58 anos, com desvio padrão de 13,96 anos; 154(68,1%) com classificação do estado clínico pela American Society Anesthesiologists igual a II. A média do tempo de duração da cirurgia foi de 163,9minutos, com desvio padrão de 75,9 minutos. Na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica72 (31,9%) dos pacientes referiram dor, a média da máxima dor sentida foi de 2,2 pontos, com desvio padrão de 3,4 pontos(valor mínimo de 0 e máximo de 10pontos). (3) Na construção do modelo preditivo, foi testado um modelo com as variáveis sociodemográficas, variáveis clínicas e variáveis cirúrgicas. Os resultados não indicaram bom ajuste aos dados para o modelo, incluindo todas as variáveis preditivas. Do mesmo modo, foi testado o modelo final com índices de modificação com resultados que indicaram um ajuste aceitável a os dados. Assim, idade, sexo, tipo de diagnostico, tipo de cirurgia, tempo de cirurgia e analgésico intraoperatório foram variáveis preditoras para dor na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica. Conclusão: A incidência da dor na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica é alta e foram identificados seis preditores para dor na sala de recuperação pós-anestésica. Estes devem ser reconhecidos como fatores potencialmente importantes ao desenvolver protocolos de cuidados clínicos específicos para melhorar os resultados da dor e orientar futuras pesquisas sobre dor pós-operatória.

Objective: To analyze the incidence of pain and its predictive factors in the anesthetic recovery room. Method: This is a three-phase study: (1) systematic literature review. This phase followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological recommendations for etiology and risk factor reviews; (2) observational, analytical, prospective study, carried out in two evaluation moments, before and after the surgical procedure. As the place for the study, the Surgical Center of a university hospital in the state of Minas Gerais was chosen. For patient selection, a nonprobabilistic convenience sampling was performed of consecutive cases who underwent elective surgery, from February to September 2019. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Data collection took place in two phases, the first during the preoperative period, in the reception room of the Surgical Center and the second in the postanesthetic recovery room. (3) formulation of a predictive model using Path Analysis as statistical treatment. The model fits were verified using the Comparative Fit Index and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation indices. Results: (1) In the systematic review, 735 studies were found and 10 were selected for synthesis. The main risk factors found were age, sex, anxiety, smoking, use of opioids, classification of clinical status, time of surgery, type of surgery. With these results, a questionnaire was constructed for data collection used in the second stage of the study. (2) In the observational study, the final sample consisted of 226 patients, 189 (83.6%) were female and had a mean age of 47.58 years, with a standard deviation of 13.96 years; 154 (68.1%) with clinical status classification by the American Society Anesthesiologists equal to II. The mean duration of the surgery was 163.9 minutes, with a standard deviation of 75.9 minutes. In the post-anesthetic recovery room, 72 (31.9%) of the patients reported pain, the mean maximum pain felt was 2.2 points, with a standard deviation of 3.4 points (minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 10 points). ). (3) In the construction of the predictive model, a model was tested with sociodemographic variables, clinical variables and surgical variables. The results did not indicate a good fit to the data for the model, including all predictive variables. Likewise, the final model was tested with modification indices with results that indicated an acceptable fit to the data. Thus, age, sex, type of diagnosis, type of surgery, duration of surgery and intraoperative analgesic were predictive variables for pain in the post-anesthesia care unit. Conclusion: The incidence of pain in the post-anesthesia care unit is high and six predictors for pain in the post-anesthesia care room were identified. These should be recognized as potentially important factors when developing specific clinical care protocols to improve pain outcomes and guide future research on postoperative pain.

Evaluation of the Implementation of Multiple Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Pathways Across a Provincial Health Care System in Alberta, Canada.

Importance: Engaging multidisciplinary care teams in surgical practice is important for the improvement of surgical outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the association of multiple Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways with ERAS guideline adherence and outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants: This quality improvement study compared a pre-ERAS cohort (2013-2017) with a post-ERAS cohort (2014-2018). All patients were from Alberta Health Services in Alberta, Canada, and had available ERAS and up to 1-year postsurgery administrative data. Data collected included age, sex, body mass index, tobacco and alcohol use, diabetes, comorbidity index, and surgical characteristics. Data analysis was performed from May 7, 2020, to February 1, 2021. Interventions: Implementation of 5 ERAS pathways (colorectal, liver, pancreas, gynecologic oncology, and radical cystectomy) across 9 sites. Main Outcomes and Measures: Adherence to ERAS guidelines was measured by the percentage of patients whose care met the common ERAS pathway care element criteria. Surgical procedures were grouped by complexity; complications were classified by severity. Outcome measures for the pre-post-ERAS cohorts included length of stay (LOS), readmission, complications, and mortality. Results: A total of 7757 patients participated in the study, including 984 in the pre-ERAS cohort (median [interquartile range] age, 62 [53-71] years; 526 [53.5%] female) and 6773 in the post-ERAS cohort (median [interquartile range] age, 62 [53-71] years; 3470 [51.2%] male). In the total cohort, care-element adherence improved from 52% to 76% (P < .001), no significant differences were found in serious complications (from 6.2% to 4.9%; P = .08) or 30-day mortality (from 0.71% to 0.93%; P = .50), 1-year mortality decreased from 7.1% to 4.6% (P < .001), mean (SD) LOS decreased from 9.4 (7.0) to 7.8 (5.0) days (P < .001), and 30-day readmission rates were unchanged (from 13.4% to 11.7%; P = .12). After adjustment for patient characteristics, the LOS mean difference decreased 0.71 days (95% CI, -1.13 to -0.29 days; P < .001), with no significant differences in adjusted 30-day readmission (-3.5%; 95% CI, -22.7% to 20.4%; P = .75), serious complications (1.3%; 95% CI, -26.2% to 39.0%; P = .94), or mortality (30-day mortality: 42% [95% CI, -35.4% to 212.3%]; P = .38; 1-year mortality: 8% [95% CI, -20.5% to 46.8%]; P = .62). The adjusted 1-year readmission rate was -15.6% (95% CI, -27.7% to -1.5%; P = .03) in favor of ERAS, and readmission LOS was shorter by 1.7 days (95% CI, -3.3 to -0.1 days; P = .04). Conclusions and Relevance: The results of this quality improvement study suggest that implementation of ERAS across multiple pathways may improve health care practitioner adherence to ERAS guidelines, LOS, and readmission rates at a system level.

Effects of Full Inhalation of Sevoflurane and Total Intravenous Anesthesia on Hemodynamics, Serum Myocardial Enzymes, and Myocardial Markers in Elderly Patients Undergoing Hysterectomy.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of sevoflurane inhalation and intravenous anesthesia on hemodynamics, serum myocardial enzymes, and myocardial markers in elderly patients undergoing hysterectomy. METHODS: Group A and group B were established randomly regarding a total of 126 elderly patients who underwent an elective hysterectomy. Patients in group A were given full anesthesia with sevoflurane, and patients in group B were given anesthesia with intravenous anesthesia. The operation time, anesthesia time, and recovery time in Postanesthesia Care Unit (PACU) were compared; plasma cortisol concentration, hemodynamics, serum myocardial enzymes, and myocardial markers were detected and compared between the two groups of patients before anesthesia (T 0), after anesthesia (T 1), and after surgery (T 2). RESULTS: Group A observed a longer extubation time and recovery time in PACU than group B (P < 0.05). Results show a lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), and plasma cortisol concentration of T 1 by comparison with those of T 0 (P < 0.05), but no significant difference remains in terms of intergroup SBP, DBP, and HR (P > 0.05), and there was no interaction effect of groups and time (P > 0.05). The two groups showed no great disparity in the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST), creatine kinase (CK), and CK-MB as a subtype of CK before surgery between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). After surgery, LDH, AST, CK, and CK-MB levels in both groups were witnessed a surge, in which group A obtained higher levels of LDH, AST, CK, and CK-MB (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Total intravenous anesthesia will not increase the hemodynamic fluctuation of elderly patients undergoing hysterectomy and can reduce the damage to the myocardium of patients with surgical trauma, which can protect the myocardium of elderly patients to a certain extent, so it can be adopted as the optimal anesthesia protocol for surgery.

Introdução: os sistemas de classificação com linguagens padronizadas se estabelecem em um conjunto de conhecimentos estruturados, conceitos fundados de forma lógica e coerente, com base em suas similaridades. Nesse sentido, identificar um perfil junto a populações pode cooperar para uma melhor definição e compreensão situacional para aquela unidade e/ou pacientes. Objetivos: realizar mapeamento cruzado entre os diagnósticos de enfermagem da NANDA-I com os registros manuais de enfermagem em sala de recuperação pós-anestésica; e propor intervenções e resultados, segundo linguagens padronizadas. Método: estudo exploratório, retrospectivo com análise estatística descritiva de registros de enfermagem de 187 pacientes que estiveram hospitalizados no período de junho a julho de 2018, em sala de recuperação pós-anestésica de um hospital oncológico. O mapeamento cruzado foi realizado em três etapas: identificação dos indicadores dos diagnósticos; proposição de intervenções e atividades; e indicadores de resultados. Os dados foram analisados e descritos em frequências absoluta e relativa. Resultados: dos 13 domínios da NANDA-I, cinco foram representados; identificaram-se cinco diagnósticos de risco e 11 com foco no problema; observou-se 100% de frequência para os diagnósticos de: Risco de aspiração; Risco de infecção; Risco de queda; Capacidade de transferência prejudicada; Mobilidade no leito prejudicada; Integridade da pele/tissular prejudicada e Conforto prejudicado. Conclusões: para os 16 diagnósticos de enfermagem mapeados, foram selecionadas 22 intervenções e 58 atividades; 23 resultados e 48 indicadores de resultados.

Introduction: the classification systems with standardized languages are established in a set of structured knowledge, concepts founded in a logical and coherent way, based on their similarities. In this sense, identifying a profile with the populations can cooperate for a better definition and situational understanding for that unit and/or patients. Objectives: to perform cross-mapping between the nursing diagnoses of NANDA-I with the manual nursing records in the post-anesthetic recovery room; and, to propose interventions and outcomes, according to standardized language. Method: exploratory, descriptive and retrospective analysis of the nursing records of 187 patients hospitalized from June to July 2018, in the post-anesthetic recovery room of an oncology hospital. Cross-mapping was carried out in three stages: identification of diagnostic indicators; proposition of interventions and activities; and outcomes indicators. The data were analyzed and described in absolute and relative frequencies. Results: of the 13 NANDA-I domains, five were highlighted; were identified five risk diagnoses and 11 focused on the problem; 100% frequency was observed for the diagnoses of: Aspiration, infection and falling risk; Impaired transfer capacity; Impaired bed mobility; Impaired skin/tissue integrity and impaired comfort. Conclusions: from the 16 nursing diagnoses mapped, were selected 22 interventions and 58 activities; 23 results and 48 outcomes indicators.

Missed Nursing Care in the Postanesthesia Care Unit: A Cross-Sectional Study.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, activities, and reasons for missed nursing care in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and the effect of intensive care unit (ICU) overflow patients. DESIGN: This is a single-center, cross-sectional survey. METHODS: Nineteen PACU-registered nurses of a tertiary care hospital participated. Over a 7-month period, participants were asked to complete a validated questionnaire, which included 19 items related to missed nursing care activities and 10 items related to reasons for missed nursing care. χ2 test and 1-way analysis of variance were used for data analysis. FINDINGS: Questionnaires (N = 397) were completed. Prevalence of missed nursing care activities was 78.1% and was significantly higher in cases of ICU overflow patients (P < .001). The three most reported missed nursing care activities were "drug preparation, administration, and assessment of effectiveness," "patient surveillance and assessment," and "care associated with pain"; prevalence was significantly higher in cases of ICU overflow patients (P = .036, P = .003, and P = .004, respectively). The three most reported reasons for missed nursing care were "inadequate number of nursing personnel," "unexpected rise in patient volume or acuity," and "heavy admission or discharge activity". CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicated missed nursing care was common in the PACU and increased in case of ICU overflow patients. Therefore, missed nursing care needs to be identified and minimized, while the number and length of stay of critically ill patients admitted to the PACU should be limited.
