| V0407 | PE-HD PTS IN VIEW DURING TREATMENTS CFR(s): 494.60(c)(4) Patients must be in view of staff during hemodialysis treatment to ensure patient safety, (video surveillance will not meet this requirement). This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that two of nine patients, (P), (P#9 and P#10) observed, had their vascular access sites uncovered/visible to the staff throughout their hemodialysis treatment, to ensure patient safety. This deficient practice could provide an opportunity for accidental needle dislodgement or a line disconnection to go undetected and could result in exsanguination (severe loss of blood), to P#9 and P#10. The facility census was 19. Findings include: During observation in the Patient Treatment Room on 8/14/24 between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., the following was revealed: - P#9 and P#10 who were seated in Station (S) 5 and S6 respectively, had their access sites completely covered with a blanket. This surveyor immediately notified RN AA on 8/14/24 at 8:35 a.m. RN AA stated patients will not comply with keeping access uncovered but was unable to find documented evidence. RN AA uncovered access site of both patients. P#9 kept access uncovered afterward; P#10 did not. |
