Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Weltweit stehen sog. „cardiac arrest teams“ (CAT) zur innerklinischen Notfallversorgung bereit. Zur Prävention werden „medical emergency teams“ (MET) eingesetzt. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die innerklinische Notfallversorgungsstruktur an niederländischen Kliniken.

Methodik

Es wurden strukturierte Interviews durchgeführt („mixed methods design“). Erfasst wurden die Struktur der innerklinischen Notfallversorgung und die Ausbildung der Klinikmitarbeiter. Einbezogen wurden 9 niederländische Universitätskliniken (Gruppe 1), 9 Kliniken der Schwerpunktversorgung (Gruppe 2) und 9 Kliniken der Grundversorgungsstufe (Gruppe 3).

Ergebnisse

Insgesamt 25 Kliniken (93%) nahmen an den Interviews teil, von denen 21 (78%) in die Untersuchung integriert wurden. Alle untersuchten Kliniken stellten mindestens ein CAT. Vier der 21 Kliniken (19%) hatten zusätzlich ein MET zur Prävention innerklinischer Notfälle. Unterschiede bestanden hinsichtlich der nächtlichen innerklinischen Notfallversorgung und der Ausbildung des Personals in Abhängigkeit von der Versorgungsstufe.

Diskussion

Bei allen Kliniken war eine strukturierte Notfallversorgung durch spezielle Notfallteams implementiert. Die Prävention durch MET ist erweiterungsfähig. Um die innerklinische Notfallversorgung weiter zu verbessern, bieten sich konsequente Notfallschulungen auf Normalstationen an.

Abstract

Background

Throughout the world there are so-called cardiac arrest teams (CAT) for in-hospital emergency care. In addition medical emergency teams (MET) are integrated for the prevention of in-hospital emergency situations. The present investigation investigated the structure of emergency care in Dutch hospitals.

Methods

The investigation was performed using structured interviews (mixed methods design). The survey covered the structure of in-hospital emergency care as well as the training of the CAT members. A total of 9 university hospitals (group 1), 9 secondary care hospitals (group 2) and 9 primary care hospitals (group 3) were included in the investigation.

Results

A total of 25 physicians agreed to be interviewed (93%) of which 21 were included in the present investigation (78%). Regardless of the level of care, all examined hospitals had at least one CAT and 4 of the 21 hospitals had, in addition, a MET for the prevention of in-hospital emergencies (19%). With respect to the in-hospital emergency night time medical care and the skills of the staff, there were differences between the examined hospitals.

Conclusions

In all hospitals there was a structured emergency care by special emergency teams. The in-hospital emergency prevention by MET needs improvement. A possibility to improve the emergency care of hospitalized patients is to train the staff on normal wards.
