“…Figure 2 demonstrates that our pre-PSCHSA extubation rates were comparable to published rates, and our post-PSCHSA extubation rates were superior to or equal to all published rates (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8).…”

“…The hypothesized primary mechanism for this decrease was increased diligence to the details of patient care. In the following 5 yrs, that level reached a stable but unacceptable plateau (0.44 to 0.63 per 100 intubated patient days), which was superior to or equal with published data (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). However, the decision was made that improvements in patient management were necessary to further decrease the unplanned extubation rate because the critical care team considered even a single unplanned extubation as unacceptable due to the potentially dangerous results.…”
Utilization of the PSCHSA resulted in a decreased number of unplanned extubations without increasing the length of PICU stay. Implementation of the PSCHSA is needed in other PICUs to validate these findings.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
