Description
In hospitals across the world, clinicians are working diligently to ensure evidence-based practice is fully integrated into daily care to impact both short- & long-term patient outcomes. The “A – F Bundle” weaves the practices of pain and agitation management, ventilator liberation with daily SATs & SBTs, delirium prevention and management allowing implementation of early mobility programs together with engaging the family in the journey. Without successful bundling of the interventions, the ability to integrate best practice is challenging.
