Audit against standards
Key Recommendations: Delivery of Care Patient Pathway: Clear diagnostic and monitoring plans Adoption of escalation strategy with early involvement of senior staff Timing of diagnostic tests / timing of surgery Adequate emergency theatre access with appropriate prioritisation Post-operative location Risk of death estimated and documented: prior to surgery to ensure adjustments made in urgency of care and seniority of staff involved at end of surgery to determine optimal location for post-operative care
Key Recommendations: Individualised care High risk patients 10% 30d mortality Two consultants in theatre (surgeon and anaesthetist) Post-op Critical Care Unit Elderly patients Specialist input pre- and post-op Nutrition
The role of Outcome Measures in improving quality of care 30-day mortality Risk adjusted via P-POSSUM Unplanned return to theatre escalation of care 30-day readmission
The role of Process Measures in improving quality of care Admission to first dose of antibiotics Time from decision to theatre Pre-op CT scan Objective assessment of risk of death High risk patients directly admitted to critical care post-op Key Standards of Care relate to patient s predicted risk of death
Conclusions With the onset of shock the mortality clock starts ticking! Timely delivery of appropriate antibiotics is everybody s responsibility deal with it if it hasn t already happened Source control the mortality clock does not wait for a convenient theatre slot
