Recognition and prevention of deteriorating patient: ... a systematic approach (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781688274143)

Clinical deterioration can occur at any point in a patient's illness or care process. Many patients that suffer cardiopulmonary arrests show signs of deterioration twenty-four hours prior to the actual arrest. Early identification is important to reduce mortality, avoidable morbidity, length of stay and associated healthcare costs.

Nearly 80% of hospital inpatients that experience a cardiorespiratory arrest have documented observations of deterioration 8hours before the arrest. This book highlights the "pointers" to patient arrest and a systematic approach to preventing sudden deterioration across the continuum of care and consequently improving patient survival from preventable death especially in a resource-limited settings.
