PCA SAFETY CHECKLIST (PDF) DOWNLOAD
The PCA Safety Checklist reminds caregivers of the essential steps needed to be taken to initiate PCA with a patient, and to continue to assess that patient’s use of PCA. This checklist was developed after consultation with a group of 19 renowned health experts and can be downloaded a word copy of the PCA Safety Checklist which can be edited for use in your healthcare facility by clicking here.
For the checklist, I recommend added instead of a blanket statement of alertness, a specific scale to use (such as pasero or RASS)
Great idea – this could be added in a future update to the PCA Safety Checklist.
