| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Unplanned extubations in PICU are used as a measure of quality in clinical governance strategies. While many factors, such as sedation or unit activity, impact negatively on unplanned extubations, high nurse-patient ratios reduce adverse patient events and improve patient safety. However, optimal nurse-patient ratios and the impact of the level of nursing expertise on the quality of care are unknown. AIM: The study aimed to examine the impact of PICU nursing expertise on the unplanned extubations of children. DESIGN: Audit and analysis of existing adverse event patient and nurse workforce data. METHOD: This single-centre study examined unplanned extubations at a mixed general and cardiac tertiary PICU in the UK. Routinely collected data from nursing and adverse incident databases were examined. The dataset included over 74,477 nurse allocations between August 2006 and April 2011. Unplanned extubations were the adverse event of interest. RESULTS: A total of 78 unplanned extubations occurred between April 2006 and April 2011. The majority of unplanned extubations occurred when patients were looked after by junior nurses. The seniority of the nurse in-charge and the qualifications of the patient's nurse were not related to unplanned extubations. However, more unplanned extubations occurred at times of higher patient occupancy. CONCLUSIONS: Nursing expertise and nurse-patient ratios were not related to unplanned extubations in this study. Further research is needed to explore the non-workforce factors such as the securing of endotracheal tubes, sedation levels and unit activity and their relationship with adverse events. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: In paediatric intensive care units where nurse-patient ratios are high, further investigation is needed to establish what impact non-workforce factors have on unplanned extubations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
