Article Synopsis
- Discharge delays for pediatric patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in the PICU after tonsillectomy procedures lead to hospital bed shortages.
- A project utilized Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to pinpoint specific care failures causing these delays.
- Key findings showed that early administration of medication and better anticipation of family needs could significantly reduce discharge delays, allowing for improved bed availability in the PICU.
