Respiratory rate is one of the key early indicators of patient deterioration

Accurate assessment and consistent reporting of respiratory rate is extremely important to detect patient deterioration early. However, manually measuring respiratory rates can be time consuming and overwhelming¹. Our solution for early detection of patient deterioration automates both the collection and transmission of respiratory rate measurements, as well as early warning scoring calculations, to help reduce stress and improve workflow for care teams that rely on manual measurement and recording.

Identify patients at risk for deterioration by automating respiratory rate measurement

Just one occurrence of respiratory rate above 27 breaths per minute over a 72-hour period is a predictor of cardiac arrest in hospital wards² and nearly 440,000 preventable deaths every year in the United States are attributable to failure to rescue by a registered nurse or physician³. Every measurement counts, however it isn’t easy to achieve across a growing and more complex patient population. A recent survey of general care nurses found that many find vitals measurement time consuming and overwhelming and respiratory rate was the only parameter recorded less the 50% of the time⁴.

The IntelliVue Guardian Solution automatically acquires vital signs, including respiratory rate, calculates an early warning score, displays it at the point of care, and notifies responsible Clinicians to intervene quickly.

Education and training are critical

Manual measurement of respiratory rates can present challenges for care providers in detecting patient deterioration:

60% rely on oxygen saturation to evaluate respiratory dysfunction⁵

57% perceived blood pressure changes as the first indicator of deterioration⁵

27.4% make quick estimates of the respiratory rate⁵

Raising awareness of the importance of respiratory monitoring in non-critical care units and making it part of your standard of care can help end preventable deaths.^{6, 7}

Automated early detection makes a significant difference

Deployment of an electronic automated advisory vital signs monitoring and notification system to signal clinical deterioration in ward patients was associated with significant improvements in key patient-centred clinical outcomes.

20% reduction in hospital mortality, including readmissions⁸

35% reduction of Severe Adverse Events⁸

66% reduction in ICU mortality of patients transferred to the ICU⁸

86% reduction of Cardiopulmonary Arrests⁸
