Video Summary

Dr. Erin Paquette, a pediatric intensivist in Chicago, presented a year in review for quality improvement studies in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The first study focused on reducing cardiac arrests in the PICU through the implementation of a situation awareness intervention, which led to a 52% reduction in CPR events and a 45% reduction in mortality. The second study utilized a human factors analysis approach to identify latent safety threats in the PICU, revealing that compliance with policies and procedures alone is not sufficient in addressing these threats. The third study examined the implementation of a centralized communication center for interfacility transports of pediatric patients, resulting in a significant increase in completed transports and reduced dispatch time. The fourth study utilized simulation-based education to identify potential problems in moving to a new combined neonatal pediatric ICU facility, leading to the identification and resolution of issues across various domains. The last two studies focused on improving prognostic and goals of care communication in the PICU and screening for social needs in critically ill patients, respectively.
