BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Reduction of critical @entity565 management time can reduce intensive care utilization. The goal of this study was to determine whether a Critical @entity565 @entity922 ( @entity922 ) can decrease length of critical @entity565 management time. METHODS: This retrospective study compared critical @entity565 management times in @entity1 managed before and after implementation of a Critical @entity922 . The @entity922 used an @entity565 severity score management scheme to guide stepwise escalation and weaning of therapies. The @entity922 guided therapy until continuous @entity3045 nebulization (CAN) was weaned to intermittent @entity3045 every 2 hours (q2h). Because the @entity922 was part of a quality improvement initiative in which all @entity1 received a standardized therapy, informed consent was waived. The study was conducted in Medicine ICU and Intermediate Care Units in a tertiary care freestanding @entity1 's hospital. @entity1 >= 2 years of age who had CAN initiated in the emergency department and were admitted to the Division of Medicine Critical Care with status asthmaticus were included. The time to q2h dosing from initiation of CAN was compared between the baseline and @entity922 cohorts. Adverse events were compared. The Mann-Whitney test was used for analysis; P values <.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: There were 150 baseline and 123 @entity922 @entity1 eligible for analysis. There was a decrease in median time to q2h dosing after the @entity922 (baseline, 21.6 hours [interquartile range, 3.2-32.3 hours]; @entity922 , 14.2 hours [interquartile range, 9.0-23.1 hours]; P < .01). There were no differences in adverse events or readmissions. CONCLUSIONS: A Critical @entity922 was effective in decreasing time on continuous @entity3045 .

A Critical @entity565 Standardized Clinical and Management Plan Reduces Duration of Critical XXXX Therapy.
