Re: [Sepsis Groups] Respiratory rate for SIRS on ventilator

2018-10-02 Thread Tara Miller
Was the vent set on 22 respirations? Or did the physician/nursing just document 
"therapeutic" for the patient. If the vent was not set on 22 then you could 
still use the 22 respiratory rate as SIRS.

Ventilator is considered as an organ dysfunction by CMS.  However, the SIRS 
criteria to meet the definition occurred one day after intubation and 
ventilation.  RR was 22 on ventilator and was therapeutic for this patient.  Is 
there any consideration for excluding SIRS RR criteria for ventilated patients? 
 This set time zero for CMS 24hours after sepsis was identified and appropriate 
bundle treatment was initiated.  We missed the measure.  Thoughts?

The inclusion guidelines for abstraction lists "does not want" as acceptable. 
Had the provider not included the patients response than I would agree that 
this would be an outlier. Per provider documentation the patient does not want 
the 30ml/kg.

Would this not be considered an administrative contraindication to care due to 
the patient and daughter agreeing to gentle hydration and not a 30ml/kg bolus?

If the ventilator was set at 22 and is charted as such, you do not count the RR 
as part of the SIRS component.
Here's the example from the definition:
"SIRS criteria or a sign of organ dysfunction due to artificial interventions 
should not be used.
Example:
Mechanical ventilator rate set at 24 and respiratory rate is 24, the 
respiratory rate would not be used for SIRS criteria. "

2018-10-02 Thread Belfi, Karen
Are you using the vent for organ dysfunction? If so it would be out of the 
window because it was initiated the prior day. I had asked CMS and you only use 
initiation of ventilator for organ dysfunction. 
Also, if the vent was set for 22, then you wouldn't use it. If the patient was 
breathing over the vent then you do use it.
