Introduction:
Numerous studies have shown that individual components of the Surviving Sepsis 6
and 24 hr Bundles decrease mortality.

Hypothesis:
We hypothesized that use of a protocol implementing the Surviving Sepsis 6 and
24 hr Bundles in patients with APACHE III admission diagnosis of sepsis will
show a measurable decrease in mortality in an open adult Intensive Care Unit
(ICU).

Methods:
In this prospective study we used a protocol to manage 266 consecutive patients
admitted to a tertiary community hospital 24 bed open adult ICU from 7/1/2004 -
6/30/2006 with an APACHE III admission diagnosis of Sepsis. The historical
control cohort was 48 consecutive ICU patients admitted between 1/1/2004 -
6/30/2004 with an APACHE III admission diagnosis of Sepsis. The protocol
implemented the surviving sepsis 6 and 24 hr Bundle guidelines, using pre-printed
order sets and shared patient management by critical care physicians located in
the Sutter eICU (VISICU(R)), a remote electronic monitoring unit.

Results:
The actual ICU mortality was 40.07% in the control period, compared to 18.86%
for the study period ([chi]2 = 28.98, p

Conclusions:
Utilization of a protocol applying the Surviving Sepsis 6 and 24 hr bundle
guidelines in patients with an APACHE III admission diagnosis of Sepsis was
associated with a significant sustained decrease in mortality compared to a
historical control in a tertiary community hospital open adult ICU.

Use of the internet in staff development and its application in helping critical care nurses to lower family stress

Use of the internet in staff development and its application in helping critical care nurses to lower family stress.

Surgical Intensive Care Unit of Shands, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA. lohnar@bellsouth.net

A systematic review evaluated use of the Internet in nursing staff development and the feasibility of using the Internet to teach critical care nurses how to help families. Use of the Internet to provide staff development had varying success. The keys to success are careful development of the program according to needs and capabilities of the users, strong education pedagogical principles, and constant evaluation for success in order to make alterations as they are needed.

Abstract
AIM: This paper is a report of a study undertaken to explore the experiences of being relatives of ventilated and sedated patients in intensive care units.

BACKGROUND: In the last few years, issues about medically-induced sleep as part of intensive care unit treatment have focused on the appropriate level of medication. There are no studies of the impact of relatives on assessment of sedation levels, but studies of family participation in intensive care units show that relatives see their role as more important for the patient than nurses do.

METHOD: An explorative, descriptive design was adopted. In-depth interviews were conducted with eight relatives of patients in 2003. The research question was: How do relatives experience having a close family member in a state of serious illness, being treated on a ventilator, and receiving medically induced sedation and pain relief? Kvale's hermeneutical interpretation principles were used for data analysis.

RESULTS: Relatives interviewed seemed to go through various phases that were specifically connected to the actual situation in the intensive care unit. The main characteristic of these phases was a pattern in which participants gradually became active caregivers for the patient. Relatives wanted to be included in discussions about treatment.

CONCLUSION: Relatives want to be included as caregivers when patients are under sedation in an intensive care unit. Relatives who know the patient can help evaluate the use of sedation and pain management to assist the nurses in giving the best care and the appropriate level of sedation for a patient.
