Improving patient care during mechanical ventilation using telehealth

Implementation of Coordinated Spontaneous Awakening and Breathing Trials Using Telehealth-Enabled, Real-Time Audit and Feedback for Clinician AdHerence: A Type II Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation

NIH-funded research Ihc Health Services, INC. · NIH-10909944

This study is looking at how using video calls and electronic records can help doctors and nurses better support patients on breathing machines in the ICU, making it easier for them to wake up and try breathing on their own, which is important for their recovery.

What this research studies

This research focuses on enhancing the coordination of spontaneous awakening and breathing trials for patients on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) through telehealth technology. By utilizing real-time audiovisual communication and electronic medical records, healthcare providers can better monitor and support patients in intensive care units (ICUs). The study aims to address the barriers to implementing these critical trials, which are essential for improving patient outcomes. The approach involves a system-wide strategy to ensure adherence to established guidelines for patient care during IMV.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in intensive care settings.

Not a fit: Patients who are not on invasive mechanical ventilation or those in non-critical care settings may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved recovery outcomes for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown success in improving adherence to lung protective ventilation strategies using similar telehealth approaches.
