Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
provide the necessary respiratory care and services for two of two sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2)
who were dependent on the ventilator with tracheostomy for breathing.
Residents Affected - Few
* The facility failed to ensure Resident 1's ventilator circuit was effectively monitored. As a result, the
resident experienced the respiratory arrest.
* The facility failed to ensure the P&Ps for respiratory care and services were followed for Resident 2 when
the oxygen therapy and a part of the disposable ventilator circuit was replaced and rinsed by a
non-qualified personnel.
These failures posed the risk of delayed care and interventions for the residents.
Findings:
1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Subacute Ventilator Management reviewed [DATE] showed to establish
a mutual understanding and a standard of ventilator management for Nursing staff and Respiratory
Therapists, which work as a team to provide quality ventilator support. Ventilator management and support
will be provided by doing Ventilator Rounds/Checks every four hours and as needed by the Respiratory
Therapist which consists of:
a. Providing a complete assessment and support for any needs the patient may have at that time.
b. Visual inspection of the ventilator and its equipment. If a ventilator failure/ malfunction is evident, ventilate
the resident with a manual resuscitator and replace the ventilator with an operational unit (See Ventilator
Failure).
c. Document pertinent information/findings and current vent settings/alarm settings.
d. Provide airway maintenance by providing suctioning of the trachea or mouth when necessary.
e. Keeping the patient care team informed of any changes in patient's condition.
f. Assessing and monitoring the status of the resident's stoma.
g. Monitor the HME and other equipment and change per policy.
