Résumé

Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). The Prevent Acute Chest Syndrome checklist (PACScheck) was created to drive appropriate ordering of opioids, incentive spirometry (IS), intravenous fluids (IVF), evaluation of oxygen desaturation, and bronchodilator use. Decrease the development of ACS by 5% in a hospitalized pediatric SCD population. A multidisciplinary team conducted a quality improvement (QI) project between April 2020 and August 2021 on an inpatient pediatric hematology unit. At-risk hospitalizations were patients with SCD who did not have ACS upon hospital admission. PACScheck was implemented and weekly run charts assessed documentation. Process control (p) charts, geometric control (g) charts, and chi-square tests assessed checklist process measures pre- and post-PACScheck. G chart assessed the number of encounters between ACS events. A total of 483 at-risk hospitalizations were identified in the 12 months prior and 363 during the study period. A g chart demonstrated that fewer encounters developed ACS during PACScheck. A p chart demonstrated that IS documentation increased during PACScheck. A run chart of PACScheck documentation demonstrated a median of 100% documentation at least once per hospitalization during the last six months of the intervention. Development of ACS can be reduced by implementing a best-practices checklist (PACScheck) on an inpatient pediatric hematology unit with a multidisciplinary team.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a life-threatening complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). The Prevent Acute Chest Syndrome checklist (PACScheck) was created to drive appropriate ordering of opioids, incentive spirometry (IS), intravenous fluids (IVF), evaluation of oxygen desaturation, and bronchodilator use.
OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
Decrease the development of ACS by 5% in a hospitalized pediatric SCD population.
METHODS METHODS
A multidisciplinary team conducted a quality improvement (QI) project between April 2020 and August 2021 on an inpatient pediatric hematology unit. At-risk hospitalizations were patients with SCD who did not have ACS upon hospital admission. PACScheck was implemented and weekly run charts assessed documentation. Process control (p) charts, geometric control (g) charts, and chi-square tests assessed checklist process measures pre- and post-PACScheck. G chart assessed the number of encounters between ACS events.
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 483 at-risk hospitalizations were identified in the 12 months prior and 363 during the study period. A g chart demonstrated that fewer encounters developed ACS during PACScheck. A p chart demonstrated that IS documentation increased during PACScheck. A run chart of PACScheck documentation demonstrated a median of 100% documentation at least once per hospitalization during the last six months of the intervention.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Development of ACS can be reduced by implementing a best-practices checklist (PACScheck) on an inpatient pediatric hematology unit with a multidisciplinary team.
