our unit uses NxStage. it can be frustrating

I agree. there should have been weekly feedback so you could improve. It probably was for the best. don't get discouraged.

[COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]I am working on an educational program and standard work for dealing with continuous ST segment monitoring for our patients in SICU. Does anybody's facility do continuous ST monitoring on the CV postop patients and or vascular postop patients?. If so, could you answer some questions for me: 1. What were the perceptions or attitudes of the staff when told that this practice standard would be added to their patient care? 2. How often do the nurses document ST segment measurement or is it done by the telemetry monitor technician? 3. Do you chart hourly along with posting a strip? 4.. How long do you monitor ie, do you chart 24 or 48hours postop? 5.Is the competency completed by ICU nurses on orientation, annually, etc. 6. Is the practice audited for compliance? Again, thank you for the information. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR]
