Hatch LD. et al. Intervention To Improve Patient Safety During Intubation in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Pediatrics 2016; 138: e20160069 Kinder auf der Neugeborenen-Intensivstation sind besonders durch Komplikationen während des Krankenhausaufenthaltes gefährdet. Dies gilt auch für die Intubation, die relativ häufig mit unerwünschten Ereignissen einhergeht. US-amerikanische Neonatologen haben jetzt untersucht, durch welche Maßnahmen sich die Komplikationsrate bei Intubationen in ihrem Perinatal- Zentrum senken lässt.

Human milk provides superior nutritional value for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit and is the enteral feeding of choice. Our hospital used the system engineering initiative for patient safety model to evaluate the human milk management system in our neonatal intensive care unit. Nurses described the previous process in a negative way, fraught with opportunities for error, increased stress for nurses, and the need to be away from the bedside and their patients. The redesigned process improved the quality and safety of human milk management and created time for the nurses to spend with their patients.

Independent Prescribing

AimExisting published literature supports the implementation of pharmacist independent prescribing (PIP). A positive impact on patient care1 has been reported, with an encouraging response from patients2 and other healthcare professionals when asked about their views. There have also been reported patient safety benefits from PIP in secondary care.3 There is a gap in the literature regarding the utilisation of PIP in neonatal practice. The views of neonatal pharmacists across the UK towards PIP have been considered4 but to date there has been no research published on the opinions of medical staff about PIP in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). This study aimed to explore the opinions and attitudes of medical staff towards PIP in NICU, identifying any barriers and facilitators to the current service.MethodSemi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposively selected sample of senior registrars and consultants working within NICU. An interview schedule was developed, assessed for content validity and then piloted with two initial interviews (total interviews=10). Interviews were digitally recorded then transcribed verbatim. Framework Analysis principles were applied to data analysis. Ethics approval was granted by Robert Gordon University.ResultsParticipants displayed a positive attitude towards PIP, stating that it has been beneficial to the overall service provided in NICU. Improved patient safety, shared workload for medical staff and increased efficiency in prescribing were cited as important benefits. Collaborative working as a multi-disciplinary team when making prescribing decisions for the patient was noted to be essential, as was ensuring junior medical staff still receive the prescribing experience required for them to be competent prescribers. Although medical staff reported no concerns with PIP, lack of a service at weekends and PIP being limited by multiple concomitant ward rounds were identified barriers. The interpersonal skills and knowledge displayed by neonatal pharmacist prescribers, acceptance by the medical team and positivity towards new developments shown by all staff were highlighted as important facilitators.ConclusionAll participants were fully supportive of the PIP service provided in NICU. Utilising the knowledge and skills of pharmacist prescribers has improved the efficiency and quality of prescribing in the unit and has had a positive impact on patient care.ReferencesLatter S, Blekinsopp A, Smith A, et al.
