Suggestions/solutions | |
No response from NICU front desk when called for additional help by resuscitation team in infant stabilization room | Avoid unmanned NICU front desk all the time |
Preterm infant on CPAP transferred directly to NICU as opposed to stabilization in infant stabilization room and then to NICU | Transfer through stabilization room ensures that a ventilator and incubator is always ready for stabilization |
Person attending resuscitation is different from the one who participated in team huddle | Case specific preparation and management plans discussed during team huddle becomes redundant |
Difficulty in paging the resuscitation team members as the composition of resuscitation team changed during a shift | Dedicated resuscitation pagers to be carried by resuscitation team members as opposed to individual personal pagers |
Infant stabilization room stocking was exhausted when 3 deliveries happened during a shift. Health care aides were replenishing stocks once a shift | Health care aides will be called to replenish stocks when necessary |
Delay in sending the blood samples from infant stabilization room to lab | Tube system restored |
Needle stick injury to a resuscitation team member while setting up the resuscitaire | Educate all caregivers to remove sharps after the procedures |
Fall and injury to foot while running to attend a pink code in labor and delivery unit | Educate caregivers on taking precautions to avoid injury |
Undue delay in starting a PIV in infant stabilization room due to non-availability of personnel | Educate RN team members about creating a backup support to establish PIV in time |
Who is the first responder (MD/NP) to attend labor and delivery calls during handover? (8-9 am and 5-6 pm) | The day resuscitation team (MD/NP) members |
Pending high-risk deliveries and family’s preference for resuscitation was not passed on to day team. Thus the day team was unclear about their roles when called to attend delivery | Should be an essential part of handover |
