Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to assess, monitor, and provide interventions to
prevent decannulation for a resident with known behaviors of self-decannulation; and failed to ensure that
staff were provided tracheostomy recannulation education for extubation for 1 of 2 residents (R3) reviewed
for tracheostomy in the sample of 2. The failure resulted in R3's self-decannulation of her tracheostomy
which compromised R3's health status. R3 required emergency transfer to the local hospital on [DATE] and
required two attempts at reinsertion of the tracheostomy and arterial line placement. After reinsertion of
R3's tracheostomy by an ENT physician, R3 became hypoxic with oxygen saturation in the 80's and had
increased work for breathing. R3's hospital records document R3 ultimately died on [DATE] with clinical
impression of tracheostomy complications, cardiopulmonary arrest and heart block. R3's death certificate is
pending investigation. This failure has the potential to affect all residents with tracheostomy medical
needs.The Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE], when R3 was admitted to the facility with a tracheostomy
tube. R3's Infectious Disease Progress Note dated [DATE] documents R3 had a history of tracheostomy
tube decannulation prior to being admitted to the facility. R3's care plan dated [DATE] had no documented
interventions to prevent R3 from self-decannulating tracheostomy tube. R3 self-decannulated her
tracheostomy tube at the facility on [DATE] and she was transferred to the emergency room and readmitted
to the facility the same day. No interventions were added to R3's care plan to prevent her from
decannulating the tracheostomy again. On [DATE] staff documented R3 removed her tracheostomy again
and was transferred to the emergency room. R3's clinical impressions included tracheostomy
complications, cardiopulmonary arrest and heart block. On [DATE] at 9:26 AM PM V1, Administrator, V2
DON and V28 Regional Nurse were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed by
observation, interview and record review, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE], but remains at
Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the
in-service training. Findings include: R3's Infectious Disease Physician Progress Note, dated [DATE]
documents R3 pulled out her tracheostomy tube 3 weeks prior.On [DATE] at 2:00 PM V2, DON provided a
timeline of R3's health status. The timeline documented R3 had a history of decannulating her
tracheostomy tube prior to being admitted to the facility. R3's Undated Face Sheet documents she was
initially admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, tracheostomy,
pneumonia, colostomy, gastrostomy and high blood pressure. R3's admission Nurse Assessment, dated
[DATE] documents reason for admission: pneumonia, peg-tube and IV (intravenous) ABT (antibiotics.) No
behaviors documented. No documentation R3 had a tracheostomy tube upon admission. R3's Physician's
Order Sheet (POS), dated [DATE] documents oxygen humified at 6 LPM via trach collar continuous two
times a day for shortness of breath. R3's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated [DATE] documents R3 has the
presence of a tracheostomy at this time r/t (related to) DX (diagnosis) of acute respiratory failure. Goal: R3
will have no complications r/t tracheostomy through next review date.

Interventions: all orders r/t tracheostomy will be followed, and MD (physician) updated with any concerns.
No documentation of interventions to prevent R3 from decannulating her tracheostomy tube. R3's Nurse
Progress Notes dated [DATE] through [DATE] no documentation R3 was agitated, restless or behaviors of
pulling on tracheostomy tube or collar. R3's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents
R3 is cognitively impaired, had no behaviors exhibited, a tracheostomy and a diagnosis of respiratory
failure. R3's Nurse Progress Note dated [DATE] documents at 6:19 AM, writer entered resident's room at
5:15 AM to administer morning medication and discovered trach dislodged. R3 was transferred to the
emergency room. R3's Health Status Note, dated [DATE] at 5:15 PM, documents resident returned to
facility from the ER (emergency room) following a trach tube replacement. Trach was replaced due to
dislodgement. R3's Comprehensive Care Plan has no documentation of interventions to prevent R3 from
decannulating her tracheostomy tube after removing it on [DATE] documented. R3's form dated [DATE]
through [DATE] documents follow up question: Did resident display change in mood? [DATE] through
[DATE] documents No change. [DATE] at 2:02 PM, Other documented.R3's Health Status Notes, dated
[DATE] through [DATE], no documentation of R3 being agitated, restless or having behaviors of pulling on
tracheostomy tube. R3's Nurse Progress Note dated [DATE] at 1:25 PM V12, RN documented Res noted to
be restless and pulled bag off colostomy and trach out. MD notified and orders to send to ER, POA notified.
R3's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Run Report, dated [DATE] documents the primary complaint is
that the trachea tube pulled out, with an estimated onset time of 11:00 AM on [DATE] and a duration of 3
days. The patient's level of distress is mild. The primary impression is muscle weakness signs, and the
secondary impression is shortness of breath.On [DATE] at 12:05 PM V16, CNA stated he was familiar with
R3 and her care. V16 stated prior to [DATE] he observed R3 pull on her trach, G-tube and colostomy but he
wasn't aware R3 had pulled her trach out before this day. V16 stated [DATE] day shift and he recalled R3
had a tracheostomy tube, G-Tube and colostomy bag and exhibited behaviors of pulling on all of them in
the past. V16 stated the morning of [DATE] he recalled R3 was anxious and pulled her colostomy bag off
and he let V12, RN know, and she assist R3 to get the colostomy bag back on. V16 stated he didn't know
R3 had a history of taking her trach out and didn't know of any interventions in place to prevent R3 from
pulling it out again. On [DATE] at 11:30 AM V12, RN stated she was assigned to R3 on [DATE] from 6:00
AM to 6:00 PM and she suctioned R3 2-3 times that shift and recalled R3 pulled her colostomy bag off, so
she had to replace it in the morning and R3 was also pulling on her g-tube as well. V12 stated she didn't
notify R3's physician of the behavior of pulling on everything, she looked at R3's POS but there were no
medications for anxiety to administer. V12 stated she wasn't aware that R3 had a history of pulling her trach
out and if she did, she would have notified the physician of the pulling behavior to try to prevent R3 from
pulling it out. R3's trach collar was on, and the trach was in place when she administered R3's morning
medications via G-Tube. At one-point V16, CNA notified her R3 pulled her colostomy bag off again and
when she entered R3's room she noted her trach was on her bed. She didn't know what to do so she got
V11, LPN to assist her and V11 told her to call R3's physician the physician stated to send the resident to
the emergency room to get the trach replaced. V12 stated V11 assisted her to suction R3 as well that day
because she was new to trach's and wanted to ensure she was doing it properly and she suctioned R3 2-3
times that day but V12 stated she doesn't recall if she documented she suctioned R3 on her MAR or not.
V12 called 911 and R3 was transferred to the local emergency room for trach replacement. V11 told V12
that they do not attempt to put a trach cannula back in at the facility so neither her or V11 attempted to put
R3's trach back in and there was no trauma to R3's trach area. V12 stated she works at the facility PRN and
hasn't received training on re inserting a trach and didn't

feel comfortable doing that. V12 stated staff took R3's vital signs and noted her oxygen saturation was in
the low 90's and that was another reason R3 was transferred to the emergency room.On [DATE] at 11:45
AM V11, LPN stated she worked on [DATE] 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM and recalled V12 asked her to assist her in
suctioning R3 a few times that morning and she went and R3's trach collar was on and intact. After lunch
V12 reported to her that R3's trach cannula was on her bed, she told her to call R3's physician and find out
what they want to do, she called, and they called 911 to transfer R3 to the emergency room for trach
placement. V11 stated she assisted R3 onto the stretcher when EMS arrived at the facility, and she didn't
assess any trauma to R3's trach area. V11 stated R3's oxygen saturation was around 93% after she pulled
her trach out. V11 stated she's new to working at the facility and she didn't know if there was an emergency
trach available and she wasn't trained on how to re insert a trach either. V11 stated she is an LPN, and she
doesn't think it's in her scope of nursing practice to re insert a trach and she thought that reinserting the
trach would be an emergency room procedure. On [DATE] 3:45 PM V20, LPN/MDS/Care Plan Coordinator
stated R3 had a G-Tube, colostomy and a trach and she was considered a high acuity resident. V20 stated
staff did frequent checks on R3 from admission because she was so high acuity. At the end of [DATE] R3
pulled her trach out and R3 was readmitted to the facility the same day and the trach was reinserted in the
emergency room. V20 stated staff did frequent checks on R3 after she pulled her trach out at the end of
[DATE] but didn't know of any new interventions the facility put in place to prevent R3 from pulling out her
trach again. V20 stated she hadn't received tracheostomy reinsertion training at the facility and wouldn't feel
comfortable attempting to reinsert a tracheostomy tube, she'd just call 911 and send the resident to the
emergency room. On [DATE] at 8:45 AM V5, CNA stated she was assigned to R3 often and she recalled R3
was always fidgety, pulling on her colostomy bag, G-Tube and trach area. V5 stated she wasn't working
when R3 pulled her trach out either time and no staff said anything about new interventions to prevent R3
from pulling the trach out again after she pulled it out the first time. On [DATE] at 3:40 PM, V9 PTA and V10
Director of Therapy stated they provided therapy to R3 prior to her pulling her tracheostomy tube out at the
end of [DATE] and during the therapy session V9 and V10 stated they recalled R3 pulled on her
tracheostomy collar often and they redirected her not to pull on it multiple times during the therapy
sessions. V10 stated she reported R3 pulling on her tracheostomy collar to the nurse (name unknown)
when it occurred. On [DATE] at 3:30 PM V18, LPN stated R3 had behaviors of pulling on her colostomy,
G-Tube and tracheostomy collar. V18 stated she didn't know R3 had a history of decannulating her
tracheostomy tube prior to doing it the first time at the facility at the end of [DATE] and she didn't know of
any new interventions that were put in place after R3 was readmitted to the facility after pulling her
tracheostomy tube out. V18 stated she had not received training on reinserting a tracheostomy tube and
wouldn't be comfortable reinserting a tracheostomy tube in an emergency. On [DATE] at 1:05 PM V3,
RN/Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) stated she is new working at the facility, but she hasn't been
trained on re inserting a trach and wouldn't feel comfortable doing so. On [DATE] at 1:15 PM V25, RN
stated she works night shift and has worked 2 shifts at the facility and is still on orientation and hasn't been
trained on trach re insertion and wouldn't feel comfortable with reinserting a trach. On [DATE] at 1:58 PM
V2, DON stated she hasn't been trained on trach decannulation and she wouldn't feel comfortable
reinserting a trach after it came out. V2 stated V15 LPN, V20 LPN, V22 LPN, V24 LPN, V26 LPN and V27
LPN have received tracheostomy tube reinsertion in case of an emergency. On [DATE] at 2:00 PM V15,
LPN stated she received emergency tracheostomy reinsertion training but would only feel comfortable
attempting to reinsert a resident's tracheostomy tube if she had assistance of another nurse to ensure she
was doing it correctly. On

[DATE] at 2:05 PM V7, LPN stated she received emergency tracheostomy reinsertion training, but she
couldn't recall what facility trained her and she would only feel comfortable reinserting a tracheostomy tube
with the assist of another knowledgeable nurse assisting her. On [DATE] at 2:09 PM V24, LPN stated she
has not received emergency tracheostomy reinsertion training at the facility and wouldn't feel comfortable
reinserting a tracheostomy tube. On [DATE] at 9:30 AM V2, Director of Nurses (DON) stated R3 was initially
admitted to the facility with a tracheostomy tube, G-Tube and a colostomy so she was considered to be a
high acuity resident, and staff did frequent checks on her from admission. V2 stated R3 had chronic
respiratory failure and that's why she had the tracheostomy tube which had a physician's order for
continuous humidified oxygen to her trach collar at 6 liters. V2 stated R3's family took the oxygen off R3's
tracheostomy tube for up to 30 minutes at a time and R3's oxygen saturation stayed stable. V2 stated R3
pulled her tracheostomy tube out at the end of [DATE], and she was sent to the emergency room and
readmitted to the facility. V2 stated she would have to look into R3's medical records and see what
interventions the facility documented they put in place to ensure R3 didn't pull her tracheostomy tube out
again but that she knew staff were doing frequent checks and they had the tracheostomy tube tied to the
collar to prevent it from coming out. V2 stated she reviewed R3's medical record and no staff documented
she was restless until she pulled her tracheostomy tube out the second time at the facility on [DATE]. V2
stated the nurse assessed R3, notified her physician that the tracheostomy tube was removed and sent R3
to the emergency room per physician's orders. V2 stated she spoke to the nurses who assessed R3 after
she removed the tracheostomy tube on [DATE] and they stated R3 wasn't in respiratory distress at that time
and she expected the assessment to be documented in R3's nurse progress notes, including her vital
signs. V2 stated R3 was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] where she was diagnosed with pneumonia
and when R3 was readmitted to the facility her family abruptly discontinued her Hydralazine and Adamine
and V2 stated she looked into it and that abrupt discontinuation of those medications could cause agitation,
delirium and restlessness which could occur within hours to days after the discontinuation. R2 stated no
staff reported to her that R3 was ever restless or having behaviors of pulling on her tracheostomy tube and
there is no documentation of that in R3's medical record either, until [DATE]. On [DATE] at 2:39 PM V2,
DON stated she can't find staff education documentation that shows staff were educated on recanalization
of a tracheostomy tube and she probably won't be able to.On [DATE] at 2:00 PM V1, Administrator went
through the facility's tracheostomy policy and stated it doesn't address reinsertion of a tracheostomy in an
emergency situation. V1 stated he would have V2 add it to the policy and reinservice nurses to ensure they
are properly trained on how to reinsert it in an emergency situation. On [DATE] at 8:45 AM V28, Regional
Nurse stated she understood the facility's tracheostomy policy that was given to IDPH on [DATE] didn't
address reinsertion of a tracheostomy in an emergency situation and that she added that to the facility's
tracheostomy policy and had inserviced nurses so they were educated on this topic. Reviewed hospital
emergency room records dated [DATE]. They document due to resident decannulated tracheostomy which
required two attempts at reinsertion of the tracheostomy and arterial line placement. After reinsertion of
R3's tracheostomy by an ENT physician, R3 became hypoxic with oxygen saturation in the 80's and had
increased work for breathing. R3's hospital records document R3 ultimately died on [DATE] with clinical
impression of tracheostomy complications, cardiopulmonary arrest and heart block.On [DATE] at 9:56 AM
V21, R3's Physician stated R3 had a lengthy hospitalization in 2025 for acute respiratory failure where she
was intubated for a long period of time. R3 had a physician's order for humidified oxygen to the trach collar
and that was to keep the trach moisturized not to prevent hypoxia. V21 stated you can't restrain residents in
long term

care so when R3 was readmitted to the facility after pulling her tracheostomy tube out the first time, he
expected staff to remind the resident to not pull out her tracheostomy tube and to do frequent checks on the
resident. V21 stated if R3 was restless or having behaviors of pulling on her tracheostomy tube/collar he
would have expected staff to notify him so he could review her medications. V21 stated he wasn't aware
R3's family removed the oxygen from the trach, but he was OK with it as long as R3's oxygen saturation
level was OK. The tracheostomy tube was medically necessary because R3 was intubated for so long she
needed to be slowly downgraded from being intubated. V21 stated the tracheostomy tube should not be
removed abruptly because it could cause hypoxia which could lead to cardiac arrest which if not corrected
could lead to death. V21 stated when R3 was observed to have removed her tracheostomy tube the second
time at the facility nurses assessed her, notified him and R3 was transferred to the emergency room to be
assessed and have the tracheostomy tube reinserted.The Facility Assessment Updated [DATE], documents
they accept 1-2 tracheostomy residents a year with diagnoses including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD), Pneumonia, Asthma, Chronic Lung Disease and Respiratory Failure.The Facility's
Undated Tracheostomy Care Procedure documents the purpose of this procedure is to guide tracheostomy
care and the cleaning of resuable tracheostomy cannulas. The Immediate Jeopardy that began on [DATE]
was removed on [DATE], when the facility took the following actions to remove the immediacy:Immediate
Jeopardy Removal Plan: On, [DATE] R3 admitted to the facility with a HX of decannulation. On [DATE]
resident decannulated her trach. Facility nursing staff attempted to re-insert her Trach without success and
