Roll Call

Measure Review Pulmonary Bundle Kidney Injury Handoff

Pulmonary Bundle Current measure (Pul 01) identifies cases where TV is greater than 10 cc/kg Research indicates that low tidal volumes should be accompanied by PEEP and Recruitment maneuvers PEEP comes from anesthesia machine and most centers send to MPOG Recruitment maneuver concept has to be created (both in MPOG and in AIMS)

Outcomes measure – Kidney Injury Measure Summary AKI 01 identifies when a patient has an increase in their baseline creatinine observed in the first 7 post–op days. More specifically, it identifies when 1.5x baseline serum creatinine (measured within 60 preoperative days ) observed in first 7 post-op days. Considerations Should we use creatinine 1.5x baseline (KDIGO criteria) or something else (GFR)? Duration of preoperative measurement - 30 days or more? If there are multiple labs available, do we choose the lab drawn closest to the surgery date or the highest lab value?

Inclusions: All anesthetic cases requiring an inpatient stay Exclusions: ASA 5 & 6 Outpatient surgery Patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction Patients undergoing urologic surgery or surgery directly affecting kidneys Patients where a creatinine lab is not available within 7 days post-op Patients that do not have a baseline creatinine 60 preoperative days Labor epidural Considerations: Do we need to exclude outpatients when we are only looking at patients that have a creatinine level drawn within 7 days post-op? Need to define pre-existing renal dysfunction: Based on GFR, do we only exclude Kidney disease stage 3-5 or 2-5? Akin model? Exclude based on CPTs

Responsible Provider: The provider signed in during the case when the BP 01 measure failed (it is possible to have more than one provider). If there is no failure for the BP 01 measure, then the responsible provider is the provider signed in the longest.

Success The creatinine level does not go above 1.5x the baseline creatinine 7 days post-op. Risk Adjustment Yes Considerations For sites that report Non-African GFR and African GFR, we use only the GFR appropriate for the documented race. If race is not documented, can we impute it? If GFR is not available, the standard GFR calculation is used: 186 x (Creat / 88.4) x (Age) x (0.742 if female) x (1.210 if black)

Measure project - Handoff TOC 01TOC 02 This measure states the percentage of intraoperative anesthesia staff changes where completion of a predefined handoff checklist is documented during each instance of permanent intraoperative staff change This measure states the percentage of OR to PACU transitions of care where completion of a predefined handoff checklist is documented TOC 01TOC 02 All permanent transfer of care events between anesthesia providers All cases where patients are transferred from operating room to PACU at end of procedure Measure Summary Inclusions

Introduction to “QI Module” Feedback needed

ASPIRE NMB 01: Personal Performance Improvement Module Goal : Increase the % of your patients that have a documented TOF monitor when receiving a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocker

What is being measured? Included are all of your patients that have received non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocker (NMB) and were extubated post-operatively. Excluded are ASA 5 and 6 cases, patients that were not extubated in the immediate postoperative period, patients not given NMBs, and cardiac cases. Definition of success: Documentation of either a Train of Four (TOF) count or TOF ratio by acceleromyography AFTER the last dose of NMB. NMB 01 Full Measure Summary

Why is this measure important? This ASPIRE quality measure aims to reduce the number of patients who have residual neuromuscular blockade after extubation and in doing so:  Decrease postoperative anesthesia morbidity and mortality  Reduce the risk of reintubation and unplanned ICU admission  Improve postoperative pulmonary function and patient comfort

Our current state: ASPIRE-wide performance (as of 12/2/2015)

System-based performance improvement efforts: TOF monitors at each anesthetizing location Replacement batteries on anesthesia carts Ensure TOF / acceleromyography values are easy to document on EHRs Create an alert in EHR if possible Optional: Collect individual provider improvement plans to formulate an organizational best practice

What can I do to improve my practice? Follow these simple steps: 1.Identify the problem – check your recent performance on NMB-01 metric 2.Review failed cases 3.Study the relevant literature 4.Construct a plan that is specific to your practice (link to sample PDCA) 5.Implement your plan over the next 3 months 6.Review your practice performance and document improvement

Literature Summary Intermediate acting neuromuscular blockers (widely used in general anesthesia) may increase the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications. In this prospective, propensity score matched cohort study, ~18.5K surgical patients who received intermediate active neuromuscular blockers were matched with patients who did not receive these agents. Those that did receive these agents were at increased risk of postoperative oxygen desaturation (odds ratio 1.36) and reintubation requiring unplanned admission to ICU (odds ratio 1.40). Of note, in this trial neuromuscular monitoring and reversal of neuromuscular blocking drugs did not decrease this risk.

Literature Summary This study examined if the use of a specific type of monitoring for neuromuscular blockade (acceleromyography) would reduce the symptoms of residual paralysis during recovery from anesthesia. The subjective experience of muscle weakness may be associated with residual neuromuscular blockage in the PACU (post anesthesia care unit) and adverse respiratory complications. 155 patients were randomized to receive either acceleromyography or conventional monitoring (Train of Four Monitoring). The incidence of residual blockade in the acceleromyography group was reduced compared to the Train of Four group (14.5% vs 50.0%). The acceleromyography group had less subjective muscle weakness.

Literature Summary (cont’d) A 10-year survey on anesthesia related mortality ( n=240,483) revealed that mortality related to anesthesia has decreased. While the frequency of anesthesia contributed mortality decreased from 0.33 per 1000 in the previous 10 years to 0.22 per 1000 anaesthetics there is still room for improvement. These deaths were responsible for 2.2% of the total mortality from surgery. Two-thirds of the "anaesthetic" deaths were attributable to (in order of frequency): (a) hypovolemia; (b) respiratory inadequacy following myoneural blockade; (c) complications of tracheal intubation; (d) inadequate postoperative care and supervision.

Literature Summary (cont’d) A categorization of contributable cause of mortality by surgeons and anesthetists revealed that 16% of the deaths were attributed to anesthetic management. Postoperative respiratory failure was listed as a cause in 55 instances of all contributable causes (n=231).This was often ascribed to bronchopneumonia (24): other causes were neuromuscular (five), pneumothorax (two), failure to use artificial ventilation (seven), inappropriate narcotics (seven), pulmonary embolism (five) and miscellaneous (five).
