Case Reading the signs

Patients may show signs of deterioration that can point to imminent cardiac arrest several hours before it occurs. Learning to recognize and respond to these events could help avert a potentially life-threatening situation. Subtle changes in heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature are all known possible early indicators of a cardiac emergency. But how do you know when to intervene?

Monitoring at-risk individuals helps you spot the warning signs early on, giving you time to respond and make informed therapy decisions. Educating your staff to identify any change in a patient’s condition as potentially significant, and training them to take the right action could play a part in reducing the incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrest.

ERC Guidelines 2015 on early detection of patient deterioration

“Early recognition of the deteriorating patient and prevention of cardiac arrest is the first link in the chain of survival. Hospitals should provide a system of care that includes: (a) educating staff about the signs of patient deterioration and the rationale for rapid response to illness, (b) appropriate, and frequent monitoring of patients’ vital signs, (c) clear guidance to assist staff in the early detection of patient deterioration.”
