Etiometry Utilization and Reduction in Length of Stay

Etiometry Utilization and Reduction in Readmissions

Etiometry Standardizes the De-escalation of Care

Etiometry’s IDO2 Index (FDA-cleared risk algorithm), used as a part of a bundle, leads to focusing attention on patients at highest risk (33%), capturing up to 62% of all cardiac arrests

Early Warning of Hyperlactatemia

Etiometry’s HLA Index (FDA-cleared risk algorithm) showed a strong positive association with elevated lactic acid with a ROC of 0.95, providing the bedside clinician with an early, non-invasive warning of impaired oxygen delivery.

Etiometry Utilization and Nurse Satisfaction

Lowry, A. NASA TLX survey analysis from PCICS (2020) abstract:

  • 88% say Etiometry makes their job easier, the platform is easy to use and helps them do tasks in fewest possible steps
  • 79% say Etiometry saves time

30% Less time on mechanical ventilation

SBT tool deployment was associated with a 30% reduction in postoperative Time on Ventilator (TOV) (incidence rate for post SBT tool is 0.7 times incidence rate for pre-SBT tool, (P < 0.0001) and postoperative LOS by 20% (0.81, P < 0.01).

29% Decrease in vasoactive support

A risk-adjusted negative binomial regression model showed 29% shorter vasoactive infusion duration in the intervention group (95% CI, 14–42%; p < 0.01).

18% Reduction in ICU LOS

41% Reduction in ICU readmissions

Relative reductions were observed in the CICU postimplementation for medical cardiac arrest (-14%) rates, unplanned ICU readmission rates (-41%), and postoperative CICU length of stay (-18%).

Extubation Readiness

The study concluded that the IDO2 and IVCO2 algorithms may be useful in assessing risk of EF in post-cardiac surgery neonates receiving at least 48 hours of MV.

Care Escalation

The study found that In neonates post-CPB surgery, higher IDO2 index over a 120-min monitoring period is associated with increased risk of cardiac arrest, even when censoring data 10, 20 or 30 min prior to the CA event.

Vasoactive Weaning

The study identified postoperative patients who successfully weaned off initial vasoactive infusions (n = 2,645) versus those who failed vasoactive wean (n = 516). Inadequate delivery of oxygen index for final 6 hours of vasoactive wean was captured. During the de-escalation phase of postoperative cardiac ICU management, inadequate delivery of oxygen index, was associated with failure to wean off vasoactive infusions.

*Clinical Decision Support System prompts discussions about clinical decisions, such as those made during rounds, that may improve outcomes. For example, using the Etiometry platform’s IDO2 Index as a flag to prompt evaluation of a patient for medication weaning, along with other information used in twice-daily rounds, was associated with an 18% reduction in time on vasoactive medication.

Etiometry Clinical Data Highlights

The Etiometry Quality Improvement Application (QI App) currently utilizes more than 150 million hours of de-identified patient data and has supported more than 150 quality improvement initiatives. Here are some highlights that demonstrate ways the Etiometry platform is improving healthcare delivery.
