‘Dying to Get to Hospital’ – Prehospital use of National Early Warning Scores
|
| Paul Gowens |
Early intervention and response to deranged physiological parameters in the critically ill patient improves outcomes. A National Early Warning Score (NEWS) based on physiological observations has been developed for use throughout the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. A good predictor of mortality and deterioration in inpatients, its performance in the prehospital setting was previously untested.
Elevated NEWS amongst prehospital patients is associated with a higher incidence of adverse outcomes. Calculation of prehospital NEWS may facilitate earlier recognition of deteriorating patients and the validity of the NEWS has now been validated for use in prehospital patients and is being roles out across NHSS.
In this session you will learn how to use NEWS to aid in recognition of the critically ill and deteriorating patient.
