Safety in transferring post-operative critical patients to intensive care unit is very important. Before the establishment of team resources management (TRM) protocol, our unit, Cardiovascular unit, hit only 86.4% in completion of safe transfer. Of those not completed were dislodgement of lines 2.1%, lack of multidisciplinary standardized protocol, no specific team leader, lack of a proper evaluation tool in transfer and no advanced training of the staff. After establishment of TRM protocol, assignment of a team leader, posting TRM algorithm and chart suggesting proper positions for staffs during transfer, innovative slogans and stickers, evaluation forms in patient transfer, making videos showing how TRM in transferring patient to ICU and persistent quality control, we had reached 100% in safe transfer. There was no dislodgement of lines during transfer after executing TRM protocol. We concluded that TRM does promote safety in transferring post-surgical critical patients to ICU. |
