Perioperative patient safety and post-operative ward monitoring | TopMedTalk General

Perioperative patient safety and post-operative ward monitoring is an important topic. Could continuous monitoring potentially improve patient outcomes and reduce rapid response team activations? Can 24/7 monitoring for high-risk patients provide meaningful data and improve patient safety? With a focus upon “meaningful” how do we avoid “alarm fatigue”? Where is the research and what do the data tell us? The paper we mention is here: https://doi.org/10.1080/13696998.2023.2219156 Presented by Desiree Chappell with Sadia Khan, Consultant Cardiologist at West Middlesex University Hospital and Marco Luchetti, Anesthesiologist and Medical Director for Patient Care Solutions at GE Healthcare, EMEA.
