Candice Wuschuk: 在Mercy San Juan医疗中心,我们多次尝试实施早期活动计划,但都失败了。主要原因是护士参与度低,各部门沟通不畅,缺乏跨学科教育。Kaylee提供的网络研讨会解答了很多疑问,澄清了很多问题,因为呼吸治疗师在学校里学不到这些知识,所以他们会对早期活动计划持怀疑态度。为了赢得团队的支持,我以身作则,全程参与了培训,并与物理治疗师和职业治疗师合作,对他们进行了关于呼吸机和气管插管的培训,以消除沟通障碍。我们最初通过增加人手来缓解工作压力,并以此树立先例。我们通过积分系统来分配时间,并确保有足够的时间进行患者活动。我们增加了移动技术人员来协助早期活动,并让他们在入职培训中参与呼吸治疗部门的工作,这有助于跨部门沟通和协作。我们通过持续的行动来赢得团队的信任,并证明我们对早期活动项目的承诺。 Naila Capitula: 我是Mercy San Juan医疗中心的临床专家和主管。在早期活动计划实施过程中,我的角色是为团队提供资源和教育,包括与物理治疗师和职业治疗师合作进行培训,以及参与智能查房。护理领导的责任感和沟通对早期活动的成功至关重要。呼吸机不同步的问题已经减少,但仍需关注。我们通过案例研究来讨论镇静和呼吸机不同步的问题。为了保持早期活动项目的持续性,我们对新员工进行培训,并鼓励资深治疗师指导新员工。资深治疗师指导新员工,可以提高效率并减轻工作负担。应该在早期与其他部门进行合作,并制定明确的目标。将早期活动纳入新员工培训中,可以帮助保持项目的持续性。 Kaylee Dayton: 呼吸治疗师的支持对其他学科人员的安全感和参与度至关重要。为了使早期活动可行,必须让其他学科人员掌握必要的呼吸机操作技能。我们让呼吸治疗师自己培训物理治疗师和职业治疗师,以建立团队之间的关系和信任。我们通过与各学科领导一起进行查房,并亲自动手帮助患者活动,来证明早期活动的可能性。模拟训练的目标是让团队成员能够批判性地思考并协同工作。了解早期活动的意义如同了解水对鱼的意义一样重要。
