from the operating room to the postoperative care unit is a critical time in the perioperative period for patients. Patients are physically transferred from one location to another and critical information regarding -$(&5%(1: &%("$)-5"$(&;5 period must be delivered accurately to ensure patient safety. Over the past few years, many healthcare regulating agencies have advocated for a standardized care transitions by suggesting a handoff checklist should be implemented but this has failed to be universally executed. There is not one template universally implemented in post anesthesia standardized handoffs but many different models. Nonetheless, research has shown using a standardized template for this care transition has shown that more information was delivered to the receiving parties and safety events related to miscommunication in postoperative transitions were decreased. The purpose of this project is to refine care transitions through a standardized handoff which will improve communication and decrease safety-related events. Nurses and anesthesiologists were anonymously surveyed about their perception of postanesthesia transitions prior to and after introduction of the intervention. A postanesthesia handoff checklist formatted in a Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation method was implemented at a level one trauma center in the Midwest based on feedback from the organization. The documented handoffs indicated there was a high compliance with using the checklist. The postsurveys presented low participation and neutral feelings regarding the use of a handoff checklist Keywords: postoperative, postanesthesia, handoff, care transitions, anesthesia, PACU, nurses, handover, report, communication, team, admission, surgery, patient transfer Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 5 Implementation and Evaluation of a Checklist in the Postanesthesia Care Transitions Introduction This project was submitted to the faculty of Marian University Leighton School of Nursing as partial fulfillment of degree requirements for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Nurse Anesthesia track. The transfer of patient care from an anesthesia provider to a registered nurse (RN) is a critical time in the perioperative period. A comprehensive handoff report is necessary to ensure the receiving provider has an accurate account of the -$(&5%(:1 experience in the operating room to maximize safe patient care. Background The care transitions from anesthesia personnel to a Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) RN permits providers to have an opportunity for face to face communication that includes an interactive discussion on the details of a -$(&5%(:1 procedures. The transition of care is a vulnerable time for the patient because of the physical transfer, collaboration from multiple providers, and many patients having similar medical histories. Without a validated method, there are often variances in the handoff report dependent on the provider and the nurse who participate in the transfer of care. This type of care transition has been described harshly as +&%2)"<$*= unstructured, and &%6)<-*5(5. compared to other medical care transitions (Milby, Bohmer, Gerbershagen, Joppich, & Wappler, 2014, p. 192). Postoperative handoff has been determined as a barrier in delivering safe patient care because it is +>&#>-risk. and +error--")%5. (Agarwala, Firth, Albrecht, Warren, & Musch, 2015, p. 96). When vital items are not included in a care transition there is a possibility of a critical piece of information not being communicated to the subsequent provider. This miscommunication can generate a medical error or increase mortality and/or morbidity for patients and produce longer PACU stays and delays in treatment (Rose, Newman, & Brown, 2019). Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 6 The attitude of many anesthesia professionals is that the report they deliver is adequate and they do not need to change anything about the delivery of their report (Lane-Fall, Brooks, Wilkins, Davis, & Riesenberg, 2014). These behaviors lead to poor morale of the organization and critical information not being delivered to the subsequent provider. Other detrimental behaviors include delivering reports when the nurse is not ready to accept information, side conversations during the reports, and noise from televisions or radios can affect the quality of the postanesthesia reports (Petrovic, et al., 2015). The Joint Commission (TJC) identified that the foremost reason for anesthesia associated sentinel events were communication errors and twice as many deaths are associated with communication errors than with inadequate care (Park, et al., 2017; Siddiqui, et al., 2012,). Breakdown in communication impacts as many as 85% of medical errors (Boat & Spaeth, 2013). The annual cost of medical errors in the United States is estimated at more than 17 billion dollars and medical errors result in up to 400,000 deaths annually (Halterman, Gaber, Janjua, Hogan, & Cartwright, 2019). Verbal report errors from physicians and nurses are responsible for 37% of errors in the handoff process (Siddiqui, et al., 2012). The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes that communication errors are one of the top five preventable errors (Halterman, et al., 2019). In 2007, the WHO designed a checklist for surgeries called a +(&<5 )?(. or universal protocol which ensures that the right patient is having the right surgery on the right location which decreased morbidity, mortality, and surgical complications. This structured report increased information accuracy during transfer, patient safety, and teamwork in the operating room (OR) (Milby, et al., 2014). The research behind using a checklist is derived from +@>5 Checklist A$%&251(). which states that safety is improved with standardization (Bruno & Guimond, 2017). Checklists have been used since the 1930s and assist in preventing tasks from Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 7 being overlooked which leads to poor outcomes (Bruno & Guimond, 2017). In 2005, TJC +<$%B$(5B a standardized approach to >$%B)221. (Park, et al., 2017). Then again in 2009, TJC made standardized care transitions a National Patient Safety Goal (Petrovic, Martinez, Aboumater, 2012). The implementation of a postanesthesia checklist would confirm all the outlined data is being transferred from the anesthesia provider to the receiving RN and complies with the recommendations from the WHO and TJC. Purpose The purpose of this DNP project is not only to comply with the recommendations of the WHO and TJC who have been advocating for this change since 2005, but also to improve patient outcomes (Petrovic, et al., 2015). The use of standardized handoff has been shown to improve safety by decreasing patient morbidity, mortality, and surgical complications (Segall, et al, 2012). Another objective of this project is to improve satisfaction, decrease stress, and improve communication among providers. Problem Statement Miscommunication or missing information in a care transition is a problem that can lead to adverse events or suboptimal management of -$(&5%(1: care. Using standardized care transitions have been proven to advance postoperative handoff reports. A Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Timeline (PICOT) question was formulated to examine this issue. In anesthesia providers transferring the care of patients to nurses does utilizing a standardized handoff checklist for report improve the transfer of information compared to anesthesia providers who do not use a standardized handoff checklist during patients' PACU stay? A quality improvement project was designed around this question to examine if a standardized report would change perceptions of postoperative care transitions and improve patient outcomes. Organizational !"#$% Analysis of Project Site Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 8 The care transitions from over twenty anesthesia providers delivering a postanesthesia report on over seventy-five patients was informally observed at the hospital from May to August 2019, a variance was noted from anesthesia providers delivering reports and nurses receiving reports. The ideal future state of this postoperative handoff report is for 100% of the )"#$%&'$(&)%:1 determined items to be delivered to the receiving RN. The current state of the postanesthesia report is the anesthesia provider includes what they think is appropriate in handoff reports and depending on the nurse, they ask follow-up questions to complete reports. Many nurses are spending valuable time that could be spent delivering patient care, searching for this missing data in -$(&5%(1: charts when a complete report is not delivered to them. Prior to the intervention, many of the )"#$%&'$(&)%:1 anesthesiologists begin delivering reports while the nurse is still hooking up the patient to the vitals sign monitor and the report is frequently interrupted with side conversations. The current reports can be described as scattered and unpredictable. Anesthesia residents have stated that their education on care transitions were informal and inconsistent. These residents graduate and are employed as attending anesthesiologists who continue these erratic care transitions (Muralidharan, et al., 2018). The current state of postoperative handoff reports creates practice gaps that could potentially impact patient safety. The ideal state of this report eliminates these gaps and supplies the receiving nurse with an entire narrative of -$(&5%(1: perioperative periods. The difference between these two methods revolves highly around communication and standardization. Review of the Literature The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) published both practice guidelines and standards of care in 2013 for the postanesthesia period. The practice guideline for postanesthetic care includes no information on handoff reporting but focuses on outcomes and treatment (ASA, Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 9 2013). The standards for care in the postanesthesia period, state that an anesthesia staff member (>$( &1 C%)D*5B#5$E*5 )% (>5 -$(&5%(:1 6)%B&(&)% accompanies the patient to the PACU. The patient will be continuously evaluated and monitored in the PACU. An oral report is necessary and is delivered to the PACU nurse caring for the patient by the anesthesia provider according to the standard of care. Three criteria must be met in this report: 1. @>5 -$(&5%(:1 1($(?1 )% $""&;$* () (>5 3/FG 1>$** E5 B)6?<5%(5B9 2. Information concerning the perioperative condition and the surgical/anesthetic course shall be transmitted to the PACU nurse. 3. The member of the anesthesia care team shall remain in the PACU until the PACU nurse accepts responsibility for the nursing care of the patient. (ASA, 2014). These criteria are very general and allow the presence of variability in care transitions. Other reasons for variance in PACU handoffs include a differing understanding of what should be included in the report, contradictory expectations and opinions, time pressures, and an unfamiliar environment for new or temporary employees. The PACU can be an unfamiliar environment for students, staff in training, per diem employees, float pool nurses, or staff reallocated from other areas of the hospital. Consequences of variance include patients and their familys: dissatisfaction, the receiving staff spending additional time searching for missing data which is an inefficient use of time in the fast-paced environment of the PACU, and medical errors due to miscommunication (Boat & Spaeth, 2014). The use of handoff checklists for postanesthesia care transitions have been comprehensively researched and the use of these handoffs decreases the variance in care transitions (Rose, Newman, Brown, 2019). There are many different models and interpretations on how to implement a checklist in handoff reporting to PACU nurses. Examples in the literature include mnemonics, situation background assessment recommendation (SBAR) methodology, Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 10 and checklists ranging from 11- 59 points (Rose, Newman, & Brown, 2018). The existing processes of postanesthesia care transitions were studied to evaluate the necessary criteria for handoff checklists and then a template was designed based on the designated criteria (Boat & Spaeth, 2014). Study designs included prospective cohort, observational with no intervention, quasi-experimental, and cross-sectional observational studies. In the majority of studies, data was collected before the intervention to establish a baseline percentage of complete handoff reporting. Data was amassed throughout the studies and the number of complete handoff reports were analyzed. Additional data was also collected throughout questionnaires to measure 1($22:1 presumption of safety, incident reports were used to measure safety metrics, and in some studies, the time spent delivering the report was measured (Randmaa, Martensson, Swenne, & Engstrom, 2013). The timeframe for the studies ranged from two weeks to six months. Many projects presented a teaching session on the handoff and the criteria their organization deemed necessary to include in a complete handoff. Almost every study displayed this criterion in the PACU by attaching it to the wall or to (>5 -$(&5%(:1 E5B1&B5 table. Some studies supplied providers with pocket cards they could attach to their badge. One organization designed a smartphone application, so staff members had an easy way to access the checklist (Jullia, et al., 2017). A recurrent theme in the research was nurses receiving handoff had a note sheet or template in the electronic health record (EHR) they completed which was modeled from the handoff checklist. Electronic Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS), a smartphone application, has also been used to guide care transitions (Agarwala, et al., 2015). Valuable steps before initiating the report included completing a critical hookup of the patient to the monitor, obtaining a preliminary set of vital signs, and asking the RN if they were ready for report, and 2)"56$1(&%# &2 (>5 $%51(>51&$ -");&B5" >$B $%0 6)%65"%1 2)" (>5 -$(&5%(:1 2?(?"5 HI)$( Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 11 & Spaeth, 2014, p. 650). Assessing if the nurse is ready for report allows for the undivided attention of both providers. A preliminary set of vital signs assesses if the patient is still in a stable condition after being transported from the OR to the PACU. Assessing the anesthesia -");&B5":1 6)%65"%1= allows the nurse to be focused on patient specific indicators. The setting of all of the studies was the PACU, a department that is described as a fastpaced and +>&#>*0 B&1("$6(&%# 5%;&")%<5%(. which creates vulnerability and limitations to research (Halterman, et al., 2019). Many of the limitations of these studies were related to data collection, because the data were either self-reported, researchers were present, researchers could only observe one study at a time, and/or human error (Milby, et al., 2014; Park, et al., 2017). In studies that staff members were aware that they were being observed, it is possible they altered how they delivered their report, this modification in behavior is called the Hawthorne Effect (Milby, et al., 2014). The design of many of these studies did not allow for randomization which is a limitation of many quality improvement projects. The information was dispersed and available to all of the employees which creates an inability to randomize subjects because of a universal exposure to the intervention. Selection bias was recurrently listed as a limitation in these studies and can occur when there is only one researcher (Randmaa, et al., 2013). Implementation of an SBAR postanesthesia checklist handoff has shown a drastic increase in comprehensive reporting in every study that was reviewed (Randma, Swenne, Martensson, Hogberg, & Engstrom, 2016; Halterman, et al., 2019; Randmaa, Martensson, Sweene, & Engstrom, 2013; McKechnie, 2015). The benefits of using a checklist include creating a guide for information delivery, improvement in information transfer, and decreased errors. Outcomes of evidenced-based handoff reporting tools were decreased miscommunication, reduced safety-related events, diminished order entry errors, reduced unexpected death, and improvements in safety reporting (Randmaa, et al., 2013). Anesthesia providers and nurses Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 12 involved in these studies agreed that teamwork improved and that they were encouraged to work together. Nurses felt empowered to ask more questions to address all the criteria when there was a designated checklist that permitted more complete reporting (Boat & Spaeth, 2013). Communication errors are the most preventable adverse event in healthcare and over half of these errors occur during patient care transitions (Jullia, et al., 2017). The standardized handoff template strives to decrease and eventually eliminate medical errors due to miscommunication. One study reported that communication errors caused 14% of postoperative adverse events (Lane-Fall, et al., 2014). Providers with good communication skills have been found to more accurately identify problems with patients, have decreased stress, develop greater job satisfaction, possess a more satisfied patient population with better outcomes, and their patients are more likely to heed their advice and follow the treatment plan (McKechnie, 2015). Standardization of the handoff checklist is one of the easiest ways to decrease the loss of information and prevent miscommunication from occurring. TJC instructed that an unvarying approach to handoff reporting should be implemented over a decade ago that incorporates a universal list of criteria but this has been yet to be universally achieved (Park, et al., 2017). Evidence-Based Practice: Verification of Chosen Option The American Association of Anesthesiologists Standard of Care for postoperative care transitions is concise and just requires intraoperative anesthesia staff to be present for transport, monitoring, and verbal report (Park, et al., 2018). The evidence-based practice has shown there are many ways to deliver the postoperative reports, numerous models of designing a handoff checklist, and varying criteria to what should be included in the report. The use of a checklist as a cognitive aid has improved the completeness of postoperative reporting in the United States and abroad Randmaa, et al., 2013. Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 13 Theoretical Framework @>5 (>5)"5(&6$* 2"$<5D)"C ?15B 2)" (>&1 -")456( &1 F>5"0* 7(5(*5":1 Model of Research Utilization, which applies decision-making steps and critical thinking to examine and evaluate research. There are five phases to this model: preparation, validation, decision-making, application of the evidence, and evaluation (White, Dudley-Brown, & Terhaar, 2016). Preparation for this project includes the exploration of relevant data for implementation. Validation is the assessment of the data. Decision-making is the evaluation of the data and if it will be practical for the application of the evidence. After the evidence is implemented the intervention will be evaluated for effectiveness (White, Dudley-Brown, & Terhaar, 2016). Goals, Objectives and Expected Outcomes The goal of implementing a handoff checklist for postanesthesia care reporting is for providers to communicate to nurses a complete account of the events that occurred in the operating room especially related to anesthesia in 100% of their reports. The expected result of this goal is an improvement in delivering safe patient care, decreased medical errors due to miscommunication, enriched communication, and increased teamwork. The reporting will include specific criteria based on the handoff reporting tool. The goal will be measurable by "5;&5D&%# -$(&5%(1: 6>$"(1 2)" (>5 B)6?<5%($(&)% )2 (>5 $%51(>51&$ >$%B)22s. Anesthesia providers will deliver the reports and PACU nurses will receive the reports, complete their charting, and inquire about any handoff criteria that were not included in the reports. The objective of this project is to educate healthcare professionals on a handoff checklist and the importance of complete reporting. The expected outcome is the amount of complete reporting will change as providers incorporate using a SBAR PACU handoff checklist into their routine. Project Design Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 14 The implementation of a handoff checklist for PACU reporting is a quality improvement project, specifically a process improvement project. Quantitative methods will include the calculation of complete reports and use of the handoff tool. Qualitative data would be the opinions of PACU nurses and anesthesia providers about the quality of reporting and how the handoff checklist meets the needs of the organization. Project Site and Population The project site is a Level I Trauma Center located in the Midwest with over 20 operating rooms. The surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures, gynecological, pediatric, cardiac, robotic, ear, nose, throat, transplant, and orthopedic surgeries. All of these surgeries except pediatrics will be included in the population using the SBAR handoff tool. Anesthesia care is delivered by a private physician group, which is one of the largest in the Midwest. Methods Participants in this project are the anesthesiologists and their students, trainees, or residents and PACU nurses and their students or trainees who are delivering postoperative anesthesia report to a RN in the Orthopedics (Ortho) and Main PACUs will be included in this project. Because of the nature of this quality improvement project, all employees in these departments will be exposed to the information on handoff checklists, which makes randomization impossible. Participants will be involved in this project because of their employment with the hospital or anesthesia group. Preparation for this quality improvement includes designing a handoff specific to this hospital to fit the needs of the organization. The handoff will utilize the SBAR format. The SBAR format was selected because it is the most universal system approach tool used in healthcare and has been proven to be effective (McKechnie, 2015). SBAR is not only used in healthcare but also by other high-risk organizations (Randmaa, et al., 2013). Benefits of Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 15 designing the handoff using this tool are the simplicity of design, it requires minimal training, it is appropriate for many circumstances (including face to face, telephone, and written handoff), it is a brief and concise tool, the structure is predictable, and it can be used by all staff members. The universality of the SBAR format validates its applicability to this project. The information included in the checklist will be derived from a review of the literature and the needs of the organization. A list of criteria to be potentially included in the organization specific handoff is listed in Appendix A. The checklist will be formatted in the SBAR structure and specific to the organization and their patient population. Clinical stakeholders will be the decision makers to confirm the desired criteria for the handoff. Handoff criteria will be displayed in each bay in the PACU and set to be the lock screen on the iPads used by the anesthesiologists. The Main and Ortho SBAR postanesthesia handoff checklist is listed in Appendix B. Before the implementation of the SBAR postoperative checklist, the two cohorts: RNs and anesthesiologists, will be given a preintervention survey to gauge their perspective on the current state of postanesthesia reporting (Appendix C and D). Modifications to the SBAR checklist may be necessary based on this information. After the conclusion of the data collection from the SBAR handoffs, a similar survey will be given to each group. This survey will assess their perceptions of postanesthesia care transitions, safety, and teamwork based on their experience using the SBAR postanesthesia handoff (Appendix E and F). Staff members will be educated by the clinical stakeholders and provided with a one-page overview of the project (Appendix G). The benefits of this quality improvement project is dependent on the actions of the healthcare professionals involved. How these participants deliver and engage in the postanesthesia reporting process will affect the usefulness of the handoff checklist. This document will be scrutinized to examine if it meets the needs of the PACU nurses and Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 16 anesthesiologists at the hospital. The report will always revolve around the patients who have had surgery and anesthesia and their medical need for a visit to the PACU. The extraneous factors would include staff members not aware of the handoff checklist, non-compliant staff members, and medical emergencies that may trigger a delay in postanesthesia report being delivered. The care transition will begin with the anesthesiologists bringing their patients to the PACU along with the patients: charts and their iPad with the checklist set as their lock screens. They will begin delivering their report to the PACU nurse after the critical hookup to the vitals sign monitor is complete. The nurses will confirm they are ready to receive the report. The postanesthesia report will follow the format of the checklist (Appendix B). The PACU nurses will record this report on a modified version of their preexisting report sheet that follows the postoperative handoff (Appendix H). The nurse will document the report delivered to her/him and conclude this process by asking any questions she/he may have. These sheets are not part of the medical record and will be placed into a secure vestibule $( (>5 3/FG %?"151: 1($(&)%9 @>5 report sheets will be devoid of any confidential patient information. After the report is delivered and patient care is complete, the nurses will circle an answer to two questions and note any comments about the postanesthesia care transition. These two questions and a line for comments is located in the bottom righthand corner of this report sheet. These forms will be collected at the end of the study and descriptive statistics will be utilized to assess the completeness of the reporting. The institutional stakeholders will be updated at the end of the data collection. Measurement Instruments To measure the outcomes of this DNP Project the following will be used: preintervention data, report sheets with the survey (Appendix H), and postintervention data. Preintervention data will be collected anonymously from the preintervention survey completed by nurses and Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 17 anesthesiologists. These surveys will be distributed via email and collected through the Survey Monkey website. This information will be recorded into Qualtrics to perform descriptive statistics of the participants answers to questions 1-5 (Appendices C and D). This information will be utilized to $11511 (>5 1($22:1 ;&5Ds of postanesthesia reporting prior to the intervention. Additional data will be collected from the report sheets at the end of the two-week period. Descriptive and inferential statistics will be derived from this information to detail areas of strength and opportunities for improvement for complete handoff reporting. At the end of the study, data from the intervention will be displayed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention. After the two-week trial period is complete, nurses and anesthesia providers will be surveyed with a similar anonymous assessment on Qualtrics via email. They will be able to convey their opinions of the intervention, how the intervention impacted patient care, and assess areas for future quality improvement interventions related to postanesthesia care transitions (Appendices E and F). Descriptive statistics will be performed on questions 1-7 of the postintervention survey. Implementation Plan and Procedure F>5"0* 7(5(*5":1 <)B5* )2 "515$"6> ?(&*&'$(&)% D$1 applied to implement this project. The researcher and stakeholders from the hospital prepared for the implementation of this quality improvement project. A literature review of criteria included in postanesthesia care transitions was performed and a collective list was derived (Appendix A). After several drafts and a collaborative effort from the primary researcher and the hospital stakeholders, a final Main and Ortho PACU SBAR Handoff was finished (Appendix B). Decision-making performed by the hospital stakeholders was the primary deciding influence for what criteria was included in the final SBAR checklist. Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 18 Validation of the need for this project was confirmed by the staff via an anonymous preintervention survey, input from the stakeholders, and the recommendations from the WHO and TJC to have implement standardized reporting in all postanesthesia handoffs. The necessity for this project was confirmed by the informal observations by the primary researcher from MayAugust 2019. Validation will be derived from the assessment of the data received from the nurse report sheets and the postsurveys. Decision-making will additionally include the evaluation of the intervention, the data, and whether this tool will be practical in (>&1 )"#$%&'$(&)%:1 clinical practice. Application of the evidence will be used to revise the SBAR checklist, prioritize the needs of the organization, and future research. The evaluation will be completed after two weeks of collecting the nurse report sheets and postintervention data are collected and analyzed. Data Collection Procedures Data collection from the intervention will be performed by the student in charge of the project.

Preintervention Results and Analysis Anesthesiologists were given the link to the preintervention survey on March 9, 2020. From March 9 - March 16, 2020 a total of 38 anesthesiologists completed the survey. This organization employs 83 anesthesiologists to cover all of their contracts in the Midwest and some never work at this particular hospital. The anesthesiologists were in 100% agreement that they were satisfied with the postanesthesia handoff report they delivered. 68% of respondents answered they strongly agreed (value 2) with their postanesthesia handoffs 32% agreed (value 1). The minimum score was 1 (agreed) and maximum 2 (strongly agreed). The mean was 1.32, standard deviation 0.46, variance 0.22. All but one person (97% of respondents) agreed they communicated potential patient problems to the PACU nurse. 84% strongly agreed (value 1), 13% agreed (value 2), and 3% disagreed (value 4). The minimum was 1 (disagreed) and the maximum 4 (strongly agreed). The mean was 1.21, standard deviation was 0.57, and the variance was 0.32. They were divided on the topic of postanesthesia report being rushed, 8 (21% value 2) agreed it was rushed, 7 (18% value 3) responded neutral, 21 (55% value 4) disagreed, and 2 (5% value 5) strongly disagreed. The minimum was 2 (agree) and maximum was 5 (strongly disagreed). The mean was 3.45, the standard deviation was 0.88, and the variance was 0.77).

Other feedback included that the process needed standardization, the report should begin after the first set of vitals, some nurses do not listen despite saying they are ready for handoff which caused the anesthesiologist to have to repeat report, some nurses are distracted and performing other tasks or talking to other nurses during report, and nurses take breaks and do not give report to the nurse relieving them. The five Likert scale questions are displayed graphically in Appendix J. Nurses were given the link to the preintervention survey on March 9, 2020. Between March 9 and March 14, a total of 19 nurses took the survey. This hospital employs approximately 60 PACU nurse and 5 are on leave. The majority of the PACU nurses were satisfied with the report they received (79%). The remaining nurses were divided equally between feeling neutral and disagreeing. The minimum value was 1 (strongly agreed) and the maximum was 4 (disagreed). The mean was 2.11, the standard deviation was 2.11, and the variance was 0.73. Fifteen of the nurses (79%) agreed that potential problems were communicated to them, 3 (16%) were neutral, and 1 (5%) strongly disagreed. The minimum value was 1 (strongly agree) and the maximum was 5 (strongly disagreed). The mean was 2.11, the standard deviation was 0.91, and the variance was 0.83. The most variance in responses to a survey question was noted on the question about feeling that post anesthesia report was rushed. Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 22 Six strongly agreed/agreed (32%), 6 (32%) were neutral, and 7 (34%) disagreed/strongly disagreed (36%). The minimum value was 1 (strongly agreed) and the maximum was 5 (strongly disagreed). The mean was 2.89, the standard deviation was 1.07, and the variance was 1.15, Pertaining to the question about making a phone call about something that could be included in handoff, 8 nurses strongly disagreed/disagreed (42%), 6 (32%) responded neutral, and 5 (26%) strongly agreed/agreed. The minimum value was 1 (strongly agreed) and the maximum value was 5. The mean was 3.16, the standard deviation was 0.99, and the variance was 0.98. All but one nurse (95%) agreed/strongly agreed there was good communication and teamwork between them and the anesthesiologists. The minimum value was 1 (strongly agreed) and the maximum value was 3 (neither agreed nor disagreed). The mean was 1.79, the standard deviation was 0.52, and the variance was 0.27. To the open ended question regarding concerns about postanesthesia handoff nurses responded they wanted actual doses of medications given during surgery, some anesthesiologists were fabulous and others do the bare minimum, some anesthesiologists do not care, it is all dependent on the anesthesiologist, that the anesthesiologists need to wait till the patient is hooked up to the monitor before they begin report otherwise they have to repeat (>5<15*;51= 1)<5 $%51(>51&)*)#&1(1 +$"5 "?1>5B () 6*)15 (>5 6>$"( $%B #&;5 "5-)"( E52)"5 (>5 brakes are on th5 E5B., +1)<5 ($*C );5" <0 1>)?*Ber D>&*5 N $< #5((&%# ;&($*1.= (>$( +B"&;5 E0 "5-)"(1 $"5 #&;5%.= <5B&6$(&)%1 $"5 %)( E5&%# <5%(&)%5B 51-56&$**0 2")< <5B&6$(&)%1 from acute pain service, there are issues with orders, +1)<5 $%51(>51&)*)#&1(1 B) %)( C%)D $ -$(&5%(:1 complete medical history- ;5"0 7F/JOPPPPP.= and they are searching through the record for things that were missed.

Both Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 23 the nurses: and anesthesiologists: concerns about standardization and attention to report are addressed with the and Ortho PACU SBAR Handoff. This checklist begins with critical hookup to the vital sign monitor and then the next step is to ask the nurse if she is ready for report. This allows both the nurse and anesthesiologist to see baseline PACU vital signs and treat critical vital signs immediately. By asking the nurse if she is ready for report, it is clear the report is beginning and both providers: attention should be focused on the delivery and acceptance of report.

In the two reports that a nurse indicated the report was not complete, the Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 24 handoff checklist was not used, and they did not indicate what data was missing from the report they received. Only one comment was filled in on the 244 sheets, which was +great report W\]W\.9 The surveys turned in on SBAR Handoff demonstrated that the majority of the anesthesia providers were using the new template. An unexpected limitation of this study was that 25% of the nurses did not complete the survey. It was expected that some nurses would not turn in their report sheet with the survey, but it was unforeseen that they would neglect to answer any of the questions. This limitation may be due to the primary researcher being reliant on clinical stakeholders to provide education on the SBAR report. The primary researcher was not being allowed on the hospital campus due to COVID19 policies and all education was provided by the clinical stakeholders via email. The primary stakeholder did not have access to these employee email lists. Another consequence of the primary researcher not allowed on campus was that the previous nurses report sheet was still available. This sheet did not include the survey questions about handoff and many of the 25% of the incomplete report sheets were in this previous format. The completed report sheets displayed that the vast majority of the anesthesiologists did use the handoff tool and gave a complete handoff report. Postintervention Results and Analysis Anesthesiologists were given the link to the preintervention survey on June 29, 2020. From June 29 ^ July 9, 2020 a total of 21 anesthesiologists completed the survey. The anesthesiologists responded to the question about the handoff being more standardized 50% strongly agreeing or agreeing. Of the respondents 3/24 (12.5%) disagreed or strongly disagreed. The remainder 6/24 responded neutrally. The Likert scale was assigned numbers with strongly agree being 1 and strongly disagree being 5 to all the multiple-choice questions in this survey. The mean of the responses was 2.48. The standard deviation was 1.14. The variance was 1.30. Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 25 To the question regarding improvement of the post anesthesia care transitions. The majority was neutral with 7/21 (33.3%) of the respondents answering this way. 7/21 (33.3%) disagreed or strongly disagreed and the other 7/21 (33.3%) agreeing or strongly agreeing. The mean was 3.05, the standard deviation was 1.05, and the variance was 1.09. The anesthesiologists were almost in unanimous agreement with 20/21 (95%) of them answering they communicated potential problems to the PACU nurses. The minimum was 1, the maximum was 5, the mean was 1.67, the standard deviation was 0.56, and the variance was 0.32. The answers to the question about the postanesthesia report being less rushed using the checklist was divided with 3/21 (14%) strongly disagreeing, 7/21 (33.3%) disagreeing, 7/21 (33.3%), and 4/21 (19%). The minimum was 2 and the maximum was 5. The mean was 3.43, the standard deviation was 0.95, and the variance was 0.91. To the question about receiving a phone call from the nurse about something that could been included in report, 2/21 (10%) agreed, 4/21 (19%) were neutral, and the remainder 15/21 (71%) disagreed or strongly disagreed.

The results from this survey are displayed graphically in Appendix L. Nurses were given the link to the postintervention survey on July 1, 2020. Between July 1 and July 16, a total of 16 nurses took the survey. The five-point Likert scale was assigned numbers with strongly agree designated at 1 and strongly disagree assigned 5. To the question about the handoff being more standardized, 4 (25%) nurses answered strongly agree, 4 (25%) agreed, 7 (44%) were neutral, and 1 (6%) disagreed. The minimum value was 1 and the maximum was 4. The standard deviation was 0.92, the variance was 0.84, and the mean was 2.31. The majority of nurses were neutral about the quality of the postanesthesia handoff report improving (11 nurses), 2 (12.5%) disagreed, 2 (12.5%) agreed, and 1 (6.3%) strongly agreed. The minimum value was 1 and the maximum value was 4. The variance was 0.48, the standard deviation was 0.7, and the mean was 2.88. Regarding potential problems being communicated to the nurse, 7 (44%) were neutral and the remaining nurses answered they agreed or strongly agreed. The minimum value was 1 and the maximum value was 3. The mean was 2.2, the standard deviation was 0.83, and the variance was 0.69. In response to the question about the report being less rushed the nurses responded they were neutral (63%), three nurses (19%) disagreed, and the other 3 nurses agreed or strongly agreed. The minimum value was 1 and the maximum was 4. The mean was 2.94, the standard deviation was 0.75, and the variance was 0.56. The response to the question about calling the anesthesiologist the nurses responded that they disagreed (44%), strongly disagreed (12.5), were neutral 3 (19%), or strongly agreed/agree 4 (25%). The minimum value was 1 and the maximum value was 5. The mean was 3.31, the standard deviation was 1.21, and the variance was 1.46.

The results from this survey are displayed graphically in Appendix M. The results of this survey demonstrated that modifications and continuing education still need to be performed. There was an unexpected limitation of the primary research not being allowed on the hospital campus, impacted employee education on the SBAR checklist is strongly demonstrated by the responses from the anesthesiologists that they did not know about this quality improvement project and handoff checklist. The opinions of the anesthesiologists that completed the survey did not change and the limitation of bias may exist against the primary researcher due to their position as a student nurse anesthetist. The nurses and anesthesiologists disagreed about report starting after the patient was hooked up to the monitor and that all issues were communicated. The overwhelming result was that their opinion was neutral. This could be due to the fact that the survey was generalized to the entire population of reports and not specific to individual reports. The anesthesiologists and nurse acknowledged that some providers are better at delivering report than others. The only updates to the %?"151: report sheet came from nursing management to allow them a place to document things that were not previously being included in their report. Implications for Future Practice Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 28 The future practice of care transitions at this hospital would benefit from using a tailored PACU handoff report sheet. The current sheet could continue to be utilized or modified based on the suggestions from the nursing and anesthesia staff. Further research could be done after the report sheet was modified. Continuing education could be provided to the staff to increase their knowledge on why using standardized handoffs are important. In this project, only a single sheet was provided to the staff there was no in person communication to the staff from the primary researcher. More research could be collected using the appropriate report sheet with the survey questions completed by a greater number of nurses. The care transitions could also be observed by a researcher to provide further insight into the handoff process and areas for improvement. Additional modification may be derived from this information. There was also a high rate of non--$"(&6&-$(&)% &% (>5 1?";501 B51-&(5 5 %?"151: 1?-5";&1)" $%B (>5 $%51(>51&)*)#&1(1: E?1&%511 -$"(%5". The organization could also modify this report and use it for postanesthesia handoffs from anesthesia to intensive care nurses. A similar checklist could also be implemented for anesthesia providers who assume care of a patient during an ongoing surgical procedure. Many SBAR checklists could be implemented throughout this hospital and their other locations to improve patient care, decrease miscommunication, and increase teamwork. Conclusion Postanesthesia care transitions occur over 40 million times annually in the United States (Segall, et al., 2012). The biggest risk of medical errors occurring during the postanesthesia period is from miscommunication during this handoff (Siddiqui, et al., 2012). Using a standardized form for report has been recommended by both the WHO and TJC to decrease errors in this type of setting. In order to comply with these recommendations there must be a high level of participation to create the workplace culture that supports the quality improvement Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 29 projects. The COVID19 pandemic caused unexpected limitations to the project that were significant to its implementation including the start date of data collection. The expected outcomes from this study were not achieved. Further research and participation from the staff are necessary to achieve the goal of 100% of postanesthesia reports being delivered using the checklist for postanesthesia care transitions. Use of a Checklist in Postanesthesia Care Transitions 30 References Agarwala, A.

The oxygen storage capabilities and the functional residual capacity (FRC) in the lungs are reduced, making this patient population at risk for rapid oxygen desaturation with apnea. This patient population also has an increased risk for complications to occur while securing the patients airway during induction of anesthesia and are at risk for difficult airway management. Preoxygenation is performed before the induction of anesthesia to replace nitrogen in the lungs with oxygen, this will increase the time a patient can tolerate apnea without desaturating. Due to the increased risks which present with the class three obesity population, it is important to optimize preoxygenation prior to the induction of anesthesia and to consider providing apneic oxygenation during the intubation process to prevent desaturation. There are many studies and recommendations found in the literature concerning optimizing preoxygenation, patient positioning, and providing apneic oxygenation to the class three obesity patient population as means to prevent desaturation during induction of anesthesia. The objective of this project was to utilize the Iowa Model of Research-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care (IOWA Model) to perform a review of the literature concerning preoxygenation of obese patients and examine current preoxygenation practices at Hendricks Regional Health Hospital (HRH). Current practice at HRH was examined via retrospective chart review of three months of data. During September, October, and November of 2019, HRH had 82 patients with a BMI of 40 or greater receive anesthesia which required endotracheal tube (ETT) placement for airway management. 16 (20%) of these patients experienced a desaturation measured by a peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) less than 90%. Data extracted from 4 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 5 the retrospective chart review produced descriptive as well as parametric statistics. The results of the data analysis did not offer significant results identifying differences between the group of patients who experienced a desaturation and the group of patients who did not have a desaturation. Because of this, it is suggested each patient at risk for desaturation, including those with class three obesity, be treated as though they are going to experience a desaturation and measures to prevent this desaturation be taken. Techniques to decrease the percentage of patients who experiencing a desaturation during the induction of anesthesia at HRH are discussed in this paper. Keywords: preoxygenation, morbid obesity, class three obesity 5 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 6 Preoxygenation of Patients with Class Three Obesity Providing anesthetic care to the obese patient population can be challenging due to the anatomical and physiological changes present in this patient population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines obesity as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 (CDC, n.d.). The CDC further divides obesity into three categories: class one is BMI 30 to less than 35, class two is BMI 35 to less than 40, and class three is BMI greater than 40 (CDC, n.d.). This project will focus on the class three obesity category, formally known as morbid or severe obesity, which includes patients whose body mass index (BMI) is 40 or greater (CDC, n.d.). Proper preoxygenation prior to the induction of anesthesia is critical in this patient population in order to prolong the safe apneic time before desaturation while securing the patients airway via endotracheal intubation (ETI) (Schumann, 2019). This scholarly project examined current preoxygenation practices in the class three obese population at Hendricks Regional Health Hospital (HRH) and assessed whether practice change is indicated based on past patient data. Background SpO2, measured by pulse oximetry, is an indirect measurement of the amount of oxygen in the blood bound to hemoglobin available to the bodys tissues (Crawford Mechem, 2020). A clinically significant desaturation of oxygen is considered an SpO2 less than 90%, in which supplemental oxygen should be provided to the patient (Feller-Kopman & Schwartzstein, 2020). Using pulse oximetry reduces the need for direct measurement of the patients arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) measured via an invasive arterial blood draw and blood gas analysis (Feller-Kopman & Schwartzstein, 2020). The partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) in arterial blood after oxygenation has occurred in the lungs is 80 to 100 mmHg (Collins et al., 2015). Deoxygenated venous blood returning to 6 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 7 heart has a PO2 of 40 mmHg (Collins et al., 2015). The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is a sigmoid representation of the relationship between arterial blood saturation and the PO2 in the blood (Collins et al., 2015). A representation of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve can be found in Appendix A. The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is relatively flat when the SpO2 is greater than 90% (Collins et al., 2015). However, when the SpO2 falls below 90%, the curve displays a steep decline in the partial pressure of oxygen, the actual oxygen content available to the tissues (Collins et al., 2015). Prolonged oxygen desaturation will lead to dysrhythmias, hemodynamic instability and decompensation, hypoxic brain injury, and eventually death if not treated (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). During the induction of anesthesia, a patient undergoes a period of apnea, or cessation of breathing, from the point which the anesthetic medications take effect until the successful insertion of an ETT by which the patient can be ventilated (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). The administration of oxygen prior to the induction of anesthesia, known as preoxygenation, is an essential component which ideally prevents hypoxemia during induction or at least prolongs the patients safe apneic timethe time a patient can be apneic before desaturation occurs (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). To increase the safe apneic time, preoxygenation increases the oxygen storage in the lungs, primarily in the functional residual capacity (FRC) (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). The FRC is the lung volume that remains in the lungs and is not exchanged during normal tidal volume breathing (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Through increasing the oxygen storage in the FRC via preoxygenation to an end-tidal oxygen concentration (EtO2) of 90%, theoretically, a healthy patient can be apneic for eight minutes before desaturation occurs (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). However, a number of factors including patient age, sex, posture, body habitus, and body size can reduce the FRC (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Therefore, it is not safe to assume a patient who is preoxygenated to an EtO2 of 7 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 8 90%, has eight minutes of safe apneic time before desaturation occurs. Rather, it is important to note those with a decreased FRC, including class three obesity patients, are at an increased risk of rapid desaturation during the induction of anesthesia. The literature supports the use of a number of techniques in addition to standard preoxygenation to optimize oxygenation in high risk patients like those with class three obesity. These techniques include patient positioning techniques to increase the FRC and to improve glottic view during intubation, the use of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) during preoxygenation, and the use of apneic oxygenation methods throughout the intubation process (Couture et al., 2018; Edmark et al., 2016; Futier et al., 2011; Georgescu et al., 2012; Harbut et al., 2014; Heard et al., 2016; Ramachandran et al., 2010; Sinha et al., 2013; Wong et al., 2019). Supplemental oxygenation techniques require additional steps be carried out by the anesthesia provider and additional time necessary for the anesthesia provider to implement the extra techniques. The use of additional supplies could increase the supply costs for the hospital, as well as costs related to increased time the patient will spend in the operating room. The findings of this scholarly project are valuable to hospitals similar to HRH, where cost savings are highly valued and the cost of routinely using extra supplies needs evidence-based justification. This project examined if current preoxygenation techniques used at HRH are sufficient in preventing desaturation in the class three obesity patient population during induction of anesthesia and if practice change to improve preoxygenation techniques should be explored and implemented. Problem Statement Adequate preoxygenation is crucial in order to prevent significant desaturation during the induction of anesthesia and to prolong the safe apneic time before desaturation in the event of an unexpected difficult intubation (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Adequate preoxygenation is vital in the 8 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 9 cannot ventilate and cannot intubate emergent situation where time is necessary in order to get the patient spontaneously breathing again (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Therefore, the question examined in this project wasin patients with a BMI of 40 or greater, are the current preoxygenation techniques used at HRH effective in preventing a desaturation of SpO2 less than 90%? This project utilized a retrospective chart review of patient data to answer this question and assessed whether practice improvement is suggested at HRH. Organizational Gap Analysis of Project Site The prevalence of obesity, including class three obesity, is increasing across the United States (Hales et al., 2020). HRH has a large volume of patients presenting for surgery with class three obesity. It is important to ensure proper preoxygenation for this patient population to prevent desaturation during the induction of anesthesia. Literature suggests the use of additional preoxygenation techniques in this patient population, however, additional techniques may present with additional steps the anesthesia provider must complete, additional supply costs, or increased operating room time. For healthcare organizations who have small financial margins, these additional costs can make a large impact on their budget. This project examines current preoxygenation techniques used at HRH to assess whether practice improvement which may come with additional supply costs or additional operating room time is needed. The findings of this scholarly project are valuable to HRH and hospitals with similar characteristics, where cost savings are highly valued and the cost of routinely using extra supplies needs proper evidencebased justification. Review of the Literature 9 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 10 There are a variety of preoxygenation methods which can be performed prior to the induction of anesthesia. The goal of preoxygenation is to replace the nitrogen in the FRC with oxygen, therefore, increasing the bodys oxygen store (Nimmagadda, Salem, & George, 2017). Two of the most common preoxygenation techniques are normal tidal volume breathing for three minutes or four vital capacity breaths (maximum exhalation followed by maximum inhalation) within 30 seconds (Nimmagadda, Salem, & George, 2017). Both of these preoxygenation techniques are considered standard preoxygenation with the same goal of an EtO2 of 90%-signifying adequate nitrogen washout and replacement with oxygen (Nimmagadda, Salem, & George, 2017). The American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Management of Difficult Airways includes these standard preoxygenation techniques in their practice guidelines for managing difficult airways (ASA, 2013). The guidelines for managing difficult airways also recommends administering supplemental oxygen throughout the intubation process via nasal cannula, facemask, laryngeal mask airway (LMA), or oxygen insufflation (ASA, 2013). A study by Sinha et al. (2013) found utilizing an LMA to ventilate after induction of anesthesia significantly increased the oxygenation in obese patients compared to patients who were mask ventilated without the LMA. Patients with class three obesity have a greater risk of difficult intubation, complicated by less time before desaturation during periods of apnea due to the decrease in their FRC (Schumann, 2019). This makes adequate preoxygenation of upmost importance in this patient population. UpToDate is a resource for medical professionals which provides evidenced-based recommendations based on rigorous synthesis of the most recent medical information available in the literature (UpToDate, n.d.). It is a recommendation from UpToDate that the preoxygenation of obese patients should be performed in the reverse Trendelenburg position, 10 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 11 rather than supine due to the reduction in lung volume in the supine position (Schumann, 2019). A recent study by Couture et al. (2018) found positioning the patients head above their feet by tilting the operating table 25 degrees into slight reverse Trendelenburg position significantly increases the FRC volume and oxygen storage capacity of the lungs when compared to the supine position. It is also an UpToDate recommendation to administer preoxygenation with non-invasive positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the obese population to improve oxygenation prior to and during induction (Schumann, 2019). A study by Edmark et al. (2016) found the patients who received preoxygenation with 10 cm H2O CPAP had significantly increased oxygenation compared to those who received traditional preoxygenation without CPAP. Similar studies by Futier et al. (2011), Georgescu et al. (2012), and Harbut et al. (2014) also found utilizing NIPPV techniques during preoxygenation significantly improved the oxygenation of participants when compared to those who did not receive NIPPV during preoxygenation. There are several passive apneic oxygenation techniques studied for use during laryngoscopy to prolong the safe apneic time for high risk patient populations, including patients with obesity (Schumann, 2019). Apneic oxygenation works on the premise that oxygen can flow through the airway to the alveoli allowing oxygen diffusion into the bloodstream to occur even during apnea (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Apneic oxygenation can be provided via face mask, nasal cannula, or a number of other devices which have been developed to insufflate oxygen into the trachea, pharyngeal, and nasal passages (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). A study by Ramachandran et al. (2010) found prolonged safe apneic period in simulated difficult airway scenarios with apneic oxygenation provided by nasal cannula at five liters per minute. A similar studied by Heard, et al. (2016) found a prolonged safe apneic period with oxygen insufflation via buccal rae tube at 11 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 12 10 L/min following standard preoxygenation. Likewise, a study by Wong et al. (2019) found utilizing high flow oxygen via Optiflow delivery device for preoxygenation at 40 L/min and apneic oxygen insufflation with the Optiflow at 60 L/min following induction of anesthesia significantly increased the safe apneic period compared to the control group who received standard preoxygenation and no apneic oxygenation. The literature review performed for this project includes research studies which were the result of a PubMed search of terms preoxygenation and obesity in all search fields. This search produced 82 articles which were then filtered to include only randomized controlled trials and clinical trials published within the last 10 years, narrowing the search results to 13 articles. Four of the remaining 13 articles were excluded for not involving obese patients as the study population. The remaining nine randomized controlled trials examining preoxygenation in the obese patient population have been included in this literature review and are also summarized in the literature review matrix which can be found in Appendix B. Evidence-Based Practice: Verification of Chosen Option This scholarly project does not implement practice change; therefore, no verification of chosen evidence-based practice option will be discussed. However, this literature review is included to summarize current practices which could be implemented to improve practice at HRH in the future. Theoretical Framework The Iowa Model of Research-Based Practice to Promote Quality Care (IOWA Model) is a theoretical framework which was developed in the 1990s to help clinicians evaluate current processes, research findings, and incorporate best practices into their patient care (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017). The IOWA Model was used in this scholarly project to determine if there 12 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 13 is sufficient evidence for HRH to implement practice improvement by utilizing a systematic review of the literature and through a retrospective chart review of patient data at HRH. The first step of the IOWA Model is to identify a triggering issue or opportunity (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017). The triggering issue or opportunity can be identified by a number of methods including clinically identified issues, national initiatives, new evidence available in the literature, or accrediting agency requirements or regulations (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017). The triggering opportunity for this scholarly project was identified based on the wide variety of preoxygenation techniques utilized for this patient population identified via clinical observation and the amount of evidence and recommendations concerning this topic available in the literature. The second step in the IOWA Model is to formulate a question or purpose (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017). By formally identifying the question or purpose, the approach to gathering evidence on the topic is more focused and direct (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017). The question examined in this project isin patients with a BMI of 40 or greater, are the current preoxygenation techniques utilized at HRH effective in preventing a desaturation of SpO2 less than 90%? After formally stating the question or purpose, the IOWA Model presents the first decision point of the modelis the chosen topic a priority (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017)? After a discussion with faculty at Marian University and members of the anesthesia department at HRH, the topic of preoxygenation techniques recommended for class three obesity patients was determined to be a priority. After determining the topic as a priority, the next step when following the IOWA Model is to form a team (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017). The team formed for this project consists of one student registered nurse anesthetist at Marian University, two faculty advisors at Marian 13 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 14 University, and one clinical mentor, a certified registered nurse anesthetist at HRH. After forming a team, the next step in the IOWA Model is to assemble, appraise, and synthesize the evidence (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017). This step was completed in this project by performing the literature review included in this paper. The second decision point in the IOWA Model follows the synthesis of evidence and literature and asks whether or not there is sufficient evidence to conduct research (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017)? It was determined there is enough evidence available in the literature to warrant a retrospective chart review of patient data at HRH. The IOWA Model was used to guide this this scholarly project up to the third decision point of the modelis change appropriate for adoption into practice (IOWA Model Collaborative, 2017)? The outcomes of this project were made available to the anesthesia department at HRH and recommendations for potential areas of practice improvement identified by data assessment are discussed in this paper. A diagram of the IOWA Model utilized in this scholarly project can be found in Appendix C. Goals, Objectives, and Expected Outcomes The goal of this project was to assess current preoxygenation practices at HRH and determine if they are adequate in preventing SpO2 less than 90% during induction of anesthesia in class three obesity patients. A chart review was performed for all patients with class three obesity who underwent general surgery requiring endotracheal tube intubation at HRH from September 2019 through November 2019. The data and analysis from this scholarly project will be made available to the anesthesia department at HRH. The outcome of this project will provide evidence to either support current practices at HRH or it will serve as a basis for future clinical practice guideline formation at HRH to improve patient safety. Key stakeholders for this project 14 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 15 include anesthesia providers, other healthcare disciplines with goals to increase patient safety, and individuals with obesity undergoing surgical procedures. Project Design This project consists of a retrospective chart review of patient data. A retrospective chart review is a project design which utilized pre-recorded patient data in order to answer a research question (Vassar & Holzmann, 2013). The data collected from a retrospective chart review can be gathered from a variety of patient record documents including electronic charting databases which is the method of data collection utilized in this project (Vassar & Holzmann, 2013). All data collected for this project was found in the anesthesia record located in the EPIC electronic medical record used at HRH. Project Site and Population This project was completed at HRH in Danville, IN a suburb of Indianapolis. HRH is a 160-bed county hospital offering a 24-hour emergency room, childbirth center, outpatient surgery center, rehabilitation services, women's center, and laboratory and radiology services (Avon Chamber of Commerce, n.d.). HRH has eight surgical suites at their main campus where data for this project was collected. Surgery specialties that take place at HRH include general, urological, gynecological, and orthopedic surgeries. The anesthesia department at HRH practices as a care-team model consisting of CRNAs and physician anesthesiologists. The anesthesia department at HRH consists of 12 full-time, two part-time, and three supplemental CRNAs and five full-time and two part-time physician anesthesiologists. Setting Facilitators and Barriers HRH uses an electronic medical record named EPIC which provides ease of access to the data which was collected for this project. A potential barrier to the integrity of data collection is 15 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 16 the possibility of a discrepancy between what preoxygenation and induction actions were performed and what actions were charted. The overarching goal of this project is to assess if the current actions being performed are able to prevent desaturation less than 90%. The potential reality/chart discrepancy barrier can be overcome by examining whether or not the patient experienced desaturation despite what preoxygenation techniques were charted. Methods Measurement Instrument The data examined in this project is quantitative data found in the electronic health record. Data of interest was discussed amongst the project team, and it was determined the following data points would be collected from the electronic health record for each patient: BMI, age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification, preoperative history of lung disease, smoking status, Mallampati score, preoperative SpO2, preoxygenation techniques charted by the anesthesia provider, ease of mask ventilation, method of intubation (direct laryngoscopy or use of video laryngoscope), number of intubation attempts, and the presence of a SpO2 reading less than 90%. If desaturation less than 90% did occur, the time until SpO2 reached greater than 90% was also collected. Data Collection Procedure All data was collected during a retrospective review of patient charts. Inclusion criteria for this chart review were patients with a BMI of 40 or greater undergoing general anesthesia requiring an endotracheal tube for airway management. This project excluded patients with a BMI less than 40 and patients with a BMI of 40 or greater not requiring an endotracheal tube for airway management. 16 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 17 To perform the retrospective chart review, the surgery schedule for the eight main operating rooms at HRH was accessed for each day in September, October, and November of 2019. Next, each patient with a BMI of 40 or greater was selected and only those requiring endotracheal tube intubation were included. The anesthesia record for the surgery performed was accessed and all data points were pulled from this record. Patient data was entered into an Excel spreadsheet, documenting each patients BMI, age, gender, ASA physical status classification, preoperative history of lung disease, smoking status, Mallampati score, preoperative SpO2, preoxygenation techniques utilized by the anesthesia provider, ease of mask ventilation, method of intubation (direct laryngoscopy or use of video laryngoscope), number of intubation attempts, and the presence of a SpO2 reading less than 90%. If desaturation less than 90% did occur, the time until the SpO2 reached greater than 90% was also recorded. Data Analysis Analysis of the data collected will provides descriptive results as well as parametric statistics. The analysis of parametric data is of a two-group design, independent t-test to test the numerical variables age, BMI, ASA classification, and pre-operative SpO2 utilizing Microsoft Excel. Results In September, October, and November of 2019, HRH had 82 patients undergo anesthesia for surgery which required an ETT for airway management. Characteristic data describing the total sample in this project is located in Appendix D. Of the 82 patients, 16 patients (20%) experienced a desaturation less than 90% during the induction of anesthesia. These 16 patients experienced desaturations ranging from 72% - 89%. Five of the patients who experienced a desaturation, experienced a desaturation for greater than one minute in durationthe longest 17 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 18 desaturation occurring was six minutes. The lowest SpO2 reading and the duration of desaturation for the 16 patients experiencing desaturation is displayed on the scatter plot in Appendix D. A variety of preoxygenation techniques were charted for this patient sample. Techniques charted for the sample include standard preoxygenation, BMI guided preoxygenation, placing the patient in sniffing position, reverse Trendelenburg position, ramping the patient, and many combinations of these techniques. BMI guided preoxygenation is a preoxygenation technique available to chart at HRH, described as prolonged preoxygenation administration for five minutes. Graphical display of the preoxygenation techniques can be found in Appendix D. The total number of patients intubated with the use of a video laryngoscope was 34 (41%), compared to 47 (57%) patients who were intubated via direct laryngoscopy and one patient had two attempts of direct laryngoscopy followed by a successful attempt with a video laryngoscope. Of the patients experiencing desaturation, direct laryngoscopy was performed for seven patients, eight patients were intubated with the use of video laryngoscope, and one patient experienced both techniques. Descriptive statistical display of the ease of mask ventilation charted by the anesthesia provider, grade of laryngoscopic view, and number of intubation attempts can be found in Appendix D. Independent t-tests were performed for the numerical variables age, BMI, ASA classification, and pre-operative SpO2. No significance was found based on this testing as pvalues for these tests were 0.5, 0.6, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively. Interpretation/Discussion Preoxygenation, an essential component of airway management, is used to increase the oxygen reserves in order to prevent hypoxemia during the apneic period of the induction of 18 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 19 anesthesia (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Standard preoxygenation is usually sufficient in preventing desaturation in patients without concern for difficulty of mask ventilation, intubation, or concern of rapid desaturation (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Many novel techniques have been studied and developed to improve preoxygenation and provide continued oxygenation to patients who are at risk for difficult mask ventilation, intubation, or are at risk of rapid desaturationsuch as the obese patient population (Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). While a variety of techniques are utilized to improve preoxygenation at HRH, 20% of their patient population experienced desaturation to SpO2 less than 90% in the three-month period analyzed in this project. The data collected in this project did not suggest any identifiable characteristics for which patients were going to experience desaturation. Nor could the data collected in this project suggest any combination of preoxygenation techniques which could prevent desaturation in this patient sample. Based on the data collected in this project, it is not possible to identify which patients will experience a desaturation prior to the induction of anesthesia, therefore every patient who presents with a BMI of 40 or greater should be treated as though they are going to desaturate and measures to prevent the desaturation must be taken. It is likely many patients from this sample population would have experienced a desaturation without the techniques which were taken to optimize preoxygenation and patient positioning prior to induction of anesthesia. Identification of patients at risk for rapid desaturation with apnea and patients at risk for difficult airway management is key to planning management of this patient population (ASA, 2013). To improve the percentage of patients experiencing desaturation, anesthesia providers at HRH could consider ramping each patient with a BMI greater than 40 to optimize glottic view and placing them in a reverse Trendelenburg position while they are preoxygenated per their BMI guidelines (ASA, 2013; Couture et al., 2018; Patel & Gilhooly, 2019). Implementing these 19 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 20 preoxygenation and positioning techniques do not come with an additional supply cost to the hospital and adds only minimal time to the induction process. If these preoxygenation techniques do not improve the rate of patients experiencing desaturations, the anesthesia providers at HRH could consider implementing other techniques not utilized for the patients in this project. Other techniques not utilized by HRH include the use of NIPPV during preoxygenation or the variety of different apneic oxygenation devices designed to provide oxygenation to the apneic patient (Couture et al., 2018; Edmark et al., 2016; Futier et al., 2011; Georgescu et al., 2012; Harbut et al., 2014; Heard et al., 2016; Ramachandran et al., 2010; Sinha et al., 2013; Wong et al., 2019). Cost-Benefit Analysis/Budget This project consists solely of a retrospective chart review, therefore, there are no financial costs to completing this project. Timeline The timeframe from submitting request to Marian Universitys international review board (IRB) to finalizing this scholarly project is projected to take seven months. This allowed three weeks to gain Marian University and HRH IRB approval, three months to collect and analyze data, and an additional two months to summarize the findings and to finalize this scholarly paper. This timeline also allows for one month to receive final project approval. A detailed project timeline is included in Appendix E. Ethical Considerations/Protection of Human Subjects The Marian University IRB and HRH IRB approval was obtained prior to initiating this DNP Project. The patient data extracted from the electronic medical record was de-identified and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 compliant to protect patient privacy. 20 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 21 Conclusion Class three obesity patients present with additional risk for complications which must be considered prior to and during the administration of anesthesia. Obesity decreases the lungs FRC and oxygen storage capability, making obese patients at risk for rapid desaturation with apnea. Obesity also increases the risk of difficulty securing a patients airway during the induction of anesthesia. Therefore, it is important to optimize preoxygenation of this patient population prior to the induction of anesthesia and to consider providing apneic oxygenation in order to prevent desaturation during the apneic period of induction. The sample assessed in this project received a variety of combinations of preoxygenation techniques and techniques to optimize the oxygenation and the intubation procedure. 16 patients did experience a desaturation less than 90%. Areas which could improve the percentage of patients experiencing desaturation with the induction of anesthesia at HRH were identified from analyzing the data extracted from this retrospective chart review. Areas for improvement include treating every patient with a BMI 40 or greater as though they are going to desaturate. Each patient should be placed in the ramped position to improve glottic view and intubation conditions. Each patient should receive BMI guided preoxygenation while in the reverse Trendelenburg position. These suggestions do not come with additional supply costs and deliver minimal risk to the patient. Anesthesia providers at HRH could also consider utilizing a video laryngoscope for this specific patient population to help aid intubation conditions. If HRH would like to improve their percentage of patients experiencing desaturation, they could also use apneic oxygenation techniques to provide oxygen to the patient during the apneic period. Apneic oxygenation techniques may come with additional supply costs which may not be justified for routine use on every patient. 21 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 22 22 PREOXYGENTATION OF OBESE PATIENTS 23 References American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Management of Difficult Airway.
