How To Use This Toolkit
The toolkit consists of four modules and other resources for improving care of mechanically ventilated patients. The modules and included materials offer guidance on utilizing the many materials in this toolkit.
Toolkit Modules
The toolkit consists of four modules and other resources that will help ICUs uncover local defects, implement interventions to prevent ventilator-associated events, and build a sustainable safety culture.
- Module on How To Apply CUSP for Mechanically Ventilated Patients
- Technical Bundles Module
- Ventilator-Associated Events and Outcome Measures Module
- Sustainability Module
- Other Resources
About the Toolkit Development
The toolkit was developed as part of a 3-year project, the AHRQ Safety Program for Mechanically Ventilated Patients. This project was developed to help staff in intensive care units use CUSP principles to reduce complications from mechanical ventilation, including ventilator-associated pneumonia. The project was conducted through a partnership that brought together subject matter experts and providers in the field.
