Endotracheal Intubation in the Emergency Setting:
Is Patient Safety Protected?
This tape is expected to stimulate discussion about the issue
of undetected misplaced endotracheal intubation, and to help elicit
any necessary changes in clinical practice. It is intended for
administrative and clinical personnel. It is accompanied by an
article, "Malpractice Quiz: Could You Handle These Situations?"
Copies of the tape and article are free from the supplier.

Safety on the General Care Floor
The growing body of research suggests a link between post-operative
hypoxemia and post-operative mental confusion. Undetected hypoxemia
represents a significant patient safety issue.
The dangers of post-operative hypoxemia may be considerable on
the general care floor, where the nurse/patient ratio is lower
then it is in acute care areas of the hospital. Further, the architecture
of many units prevents direct patient observation. Undetected
hypoxemia can adversely affect cardiac, cerebral, and respiratory
function, delay wound healing, and increase the risk of infection.
This video program includes the views of leaders in anesthesiology,
surgery, and risk management. We hope it contributes to greater
understanding of the prevalence and risk of undetected hypoxemia
on the general care floor.
