    New Early Warning Algorithm Detects Children's Early Cardiac Deterioration Before Inpatient Arrest

    Most cardiopulmonary arrests in hospitalized children can be prevented by early recognition and treatment for signs of deterioration. Nurse researchers at Children's Hospital Boston developed and validated the Cardiac Children's Hospital Early Warning Score (C-CHEWS) for pediatric cardiology patients. Used in conjunction with vital signs, the C-CHEWS scores assessments of patient behavior, cardiovascular and respiratory status, and level of family and/or staff concern. The resulting score is used to divide patients into one of three groups: routine care, increased assessment/intervention, or CICU consult/transfer. A retrospective review of patients admitted to the cardiac unit over a 12-month period compared 64 patients who experienced arrest or an unplanned CICU transfer with a comparison group of 248 non-event admissions. When compared with the previously validated Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) tool, the C-CHEWS had greater sensitivity. Overall, C-CHEWS has excellent discrimination for identifying deterioration in children with cardiac disease. M.C.
