Incidence and preventability of adverse events requiring intensive care admission: a systematic review

Abstract: Adverse events are an important reason for (re)admission to the ICU and a considerable proportion of these are preventable. It was not possible to estimate an overall incidence and preventability rate of these events as we found considerable heterogeneity. To decrease adverse events that necessitate ICU admission, several systems are recommended such as early detection of patients with clinical instability on general wards and the implementation of rapid response teams. Step-down or intermediate care units cou… Show more

“…However, Extra treatment and extra intervention such as required ICU care or (re)admission ranged from 1.1% to 37.2% in other studies [24]. Causative types of surgical AEs proposed in previous studies as the most common categories included: number of surgical records, error in surgical technique/operative management, all nonoperative management failures, monitoring error, unreliable or delayed treatment, diagnostic failures/delay, medication error, anesthesia error, and error in judgment/outside expertise [8,20,23].…”

“…Así mismo Vlayen, et al (2012), en una revisión sistemática sobre la incidencia y evitabilidad de EA que requirió que el paciente fuese hospitalizado en unidades de cuidado intensivo, muestra que a pesar que no se pudo identificar una incidencia clara debido a la heterogeneidad en los estudios, se identificó que en un 1,1% a 37,2% los usuarios requirieron asociado a EA admisión en unidades de cuidado intensivo.…”

“…La admisión en estas unidades estaría restringida a aquellos pacientes que se beneficiarían de sus cuidados, de forma que su excesiva utilización aumentaría de forma innecesaria los costes, mientras que el ser demasiado restrictivos podría llevarnos a un aumento de la mortalidad 3,4 . Resulta, pues, fundamental un correcto estudio del paciente, así como de su posible evolución a la hora de decidir la unidad de destino del mismo 2---4 .…”
