Evaluation of Patient Safety Measures in the ICCU at Pune: A Comparative Study Against ISCCM Guidelines

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction: This cross-sectional descriptive study evaluated patient safety measures in the Intensive Coronary Care Unit (ICCU) of a tertiary care hospital in Pune, India, over 90 days. Methodology: A validated checklist from the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM) was used to assess compliance with established guidelines. Result: The ICCU demonstrated high adherence to infrastructure standards and environmental controls. However, gaps were identified, including the absence of a portable CT scanner and inadequate counselling room size, emphasizing the need for further improvements to align with global best practices. Recommendations include investing in a portable CT scanner and expanding the counselling room. This study underscores the importance of adhering to standardized safety protocols in critical care settings to enhance patient outcomes and reduce adverse events.
