Quality Improvement Intervention Targeting Ventilator Management Ground & Air Medical qUality in Transport (GAMUT) Metric Improves Documentation and Patient Care Practices
To our knowledge, this is the first report of a QI initiative targeting implementation of a GAMUT metric to improve both documentation and patient care practices. Our findings indicate that our QI intervention improved documentation of Pplat by nearly nine-fold. We also demonstrated sustained improvement in patient care with higher rates of LPV as defined by Pplat < 30 mmHg and DP < 15 mmHg post-implementation.
