Description

309A: One Breath at a time: Keeping Patients Safe with PRODIGY Risk Assessment

The Prediction of Opioid induced respiratory Depression In patients monitored by capnoGraphY (PRODIGY) risk assessment was incorporated into the workflow on two surgical units at an academic medical center in the southwest to identify high-risk patients based on several risk factors. Participants will learn how PRODIGY supports critical thinking related to ventilation, early intervention, and safe administration of opioids and about its impact on patient safety.

309B: Interprofessional Opioid Safety in the Medical-Surgical Unit

This session will review the results of a study that involved the implementation of an interdisciplinary-created nurse-driven protocol to initiate defined monitoring guidelines based on patient risk factors and amount of intravenous push opioids (IVPO) given to prevent opioid-induced respiratory suppression. Learn how the nurse-driven monitoring algorithm for IVPO improved patient safety, reduced naloxone use, and could be adopted at other facilities.
