Prescription and administration of Oxygen in a Hospital or Clinic setting; Guidelines and Procedure (G22)
The aim of these guidelines are to ensure that: • All patients who require supplementary oxygen therapy receive therapy that is appropriate to their clinical condition and in line with national guidance (BTS Guideline; 2017). • Where oxygen saturation monitoring is available oxygen will be prescribed according to a target saturation range. • Those who administer oxygen therapy will monitor the patient and titrate oxygen to maintain oxygen saturations within the target saturation range.
Inpatient Falls Prevention and Management Policy (P33)
The Trust’s aim is to prevent harm resulting from in-patient falls by assessing each patient individually and identifying their risk in order to develop a care plan to reduce these risks. There is an expectation that clinicians will use the policy framework within everyday practice within DCHS. DCHS Inpatient services are part of the DCHS Falls and Fracture Prevention framework which contributes towards the wider Derbyshire and Derby City Falls and Fracture Prevention Pathway in identifying and managing patients who are at risk of falls in hospital and onwards as part of discharge plans and communication. This policy incorporates guidance from the: - • NICE CG161(2013) “Falls: the assessment and prevention of falls in older people • National Patient Safety Agency (2011) on “Essential care after an inpatient fall” • NICE (2015) on “Head Injury: assessment and early management” The purpose of this policy is to support staff to identify patients who are at risk of falling and to identify the interventions required to reduce the risk of falls and minimise harm to each individual. This policy also provides guidance on how to implement the NICE Quality standards (2015) ‘Assessment after a fall and preventing further falls’
