Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement proper respiratory care for a
resident with a tracheostomy ([trach]-an opening in the front of the neck made to crat an airway for people
who are not breathing on their own), for one of two residents reviewed for tracheostomy care (Resident 18),
when there was no trach dressing (a cover to prevent skin breakdown around the trach site) applied on
Resident 18.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential for Resident 18 to develop skin breakdown and infection at the trach site.
Findings:
On November 29, 2021, at 2:48 p.m., Resident 18 was observed lying in bed with the trach tube connected
to a ventilator (a machine for artificial respiration). Resident 18's trach site was observed without a trach
dressing. The skin around the trach site was observed with pinkish discoloration and had a dark red crust.
Resident 18 was observed on the following dates and times to have no trach dressing at the trach site and
had pinkish discoloration at the surrounding area:
- November 29, 2021, at 4 p.m.;
- November 30, 2021, at 11:29 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.; and
- December 01, at 9:30 a.m. and 4:50 p.m.
On December 1, 2021, Resident 18's record was reviewed. Resident 18 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses which included chronic respiratory failure (lung failure) and presence of
tracheostomy.
The physician order, dated March 9, 2021, indicated, Trach care .every shift.
The care plan, dated March 9, 2021, indicated, .Resident requires trachesotomy .Change dressing and ties
daily or when they become soiled .With every dressing change, check skin under dressing and ties for
signs of skin breakdown .
There was no documented evidence a care plan was developed to address Resident 18's behavior of
pulling on her trach dressing.
