Hello everyone.
- 00:02 - 00:04
Some words about news.
- 00:05 - 00:08
This is National Early Warning score.
- 00:11 - 00:14
This is for assessing the patient and the patient's patient's
- 00:15 - 00:16
vital science.
- 00:17 - 00:21
We are getting knowledge about patients, risk factors and we're
- 00:21 - 00:23
recognizing a critical ill patient.
- 00:24 - 00:29
All this gives information and helps us about the decision
- 00:30 - 00:33
making. What place is the best place to take care
- 00:34 - 00:34
of the patient.
- 00:39 - 00:42
And when we are scoring the patient we are counting
- 00:42 - 00:50
the respiration rate checking oxygen saturation, checking if the patients
- 00:51 - 00:58
are using air or oxygen measuring systolic blood pressure, counting
- 00:59 - 01:05
pulse per minute, checking patient's consciousness and also temperature.
- 01:09 - 01:13
All of these gives us knowledge about the patient's risk
- 01:13 - 01:18
class. If the patient gets zero points there is class
- 01:19 - 01:24
is great and we can score the patient if it's
- 01:24 - 01:26
needed or the next day.
- 01:29 - 01:32
If the patient gets Points from 1 to 4, the
- 01:33 - 01:34
risk class is green.
- 01:35 - 01:39
It means that we are scoring the patient once again
- 01:39 - 01:42
after 4-6 hours or when it's needed.
- 01:44 - 01:48
If the patient gets 5-8 points, the risk class is
- 01:48 - 01:54
yellow and this means that we nurses are alarming the
- 01:54 - 01:58
physician and the medical emergency team and they are making
- 01:59 - 02:00
their assessments.
- 02:02 - 02:07
If the patient gets nine points, it's red risk class
- 02:07 - 02:09
and it means always alarm.
- 02:10 - 02:14
Then we are alarming the physician and the medical emergency
- 02:15 - 02:20
team and then it's needed to assessment the need of
- 02:20 - 02:27
intensive care unit care for the patient here.
- 02:27 - 02:35
We can see the scoring system and then it's just
- 02:36 - 02:37
to use it
