CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE Telemetry（临床实践指南遥测）.pdfVIP

CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE - Telemetry Introduction The purpose of the guideline is to establish evidence-informed criteria for telemetry monitoring, outline nursing assessment parameters and provide patient education that may apply to adult patients located on cardiac or medical/surgical step down units within the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA). The nursing assessment portion of the guideline is to facilitate appropriate communication and documentation of relevant information for selected adult patients requiring telemetry. These patients may be located on cardiac, medical/surgical inpatient units or Observation Units/Reassessment Units (where monitoring of patients may be provided by intensive care unit staff) within the WRHA. Actual patient care standards may vary depending on patient condition and accepted standards of practice for that condition. The guideline is a tool to facilitate decision-making regarding the appropriate use of telemetry resources. The guideline is not intended to replace but to compliment individual clinical decisions regarding patient care and management.
