Objective: To examine incidents and contributing factors including corrective strategies of EI in the Perioperative and Anesthetic Adverse Events in Thailand [PAAd Thai] Study, hosted by the Royal College of Anesthesiologists of Thailand. Materials and Methods: A multi-center prospective observational study was conducted between January and December 2015. All EI incidents from the irst 2,000 incident reports from 22 participating hospitals across Thailand were reported and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: One hundred sixty-nine EI incidents (8.45%) were reported from the irst 2,000 incident reports in the PAAd Thai database. The incidence of delayed detection of EI was rare (0.28:10,000). Practice with trainees is a common situation (55.6%), however, most cases were early detection by clinical examination and/or capnometer without physiologic sequelae. Pediatric patients, cesarean section, and dificult intubation may lead to oxygen desaturation, with few cases of oxygen desaturation and bradycardia. Conclusion: While the EI incidence rates in Thailand remained constant, the incidence of delayed detection was dramatically reduced because of increased availability of end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring. Vigilance, additional training, and more equipment availability are recommended. Keywords: Esophageal intubation, Incident report, Outcome, Monitoring, Adverse events, Complication J Med Assoc Thai 2018; 101 (1): 103-9 Website: http://www.jmatonline.com Esophageal intubation [EI] is a common situation for early detection. It also improves the reliability of in routine anesthesia practice especially for trainees. clinical signs(4). Fortunately, most cases are detected early by vigilant According to a THAI-study, a multicentered trainers and patients are not affected. On the other survey study of anesthesia incidents in Thailand in hand, delayed detection of EI is more catastrophic and 2005, the registry revealed that the capnometer use rate may lead to lawsuits(1-3). Sensitivity and specificity of was only 19% in daily practice(5).

National notifiable diseases surveillance system (NNDSS) data in developing countries are usually incomplete, yet the total number of fatal cases reported is commonly used in national priority-setting. Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is largely underrecognized by policy-makers due to the underreporting of fatal cases via the NNDSS. Methods. Collaborating with the Epidemiology Division (ED), Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), we conducted a retrospec- tive study to determine the incidence and mortality of melioidosis cases already identified by clinical microbiology laboratories nationwide. A case of melioidosis was defined as a patient with any clinical specimen culture positive for B.

  • Chapter 6 the Expansion New Membership Recruitment Area of Thai Maternal and Child Health Network Under the Royal Patronage 6
    Chapter 6 The Expansion New Membership Recruitment Area of Thai Maternal and Child Health Network under the Royal Patronage 6 Thrathip Kolatat, Chantima Charastong At present, Thai Maternal and Child Health Network Board of Committee under the Royal Patronage has established project purposes that meet the principle objective, which is to lower the rate of preterm births. However, the board’s reexamination of the issue reveals the aforementioned strategy can be elevated to be policy-level strategy, the process of which includes setting up the clear strategic targets and public services, as well as considering the differences between service areas. It has also been suggested that personnel in those areas should be the ones coming up with action plans, to successfully reach the ultimate outcome1. Having studied the fundamental patterns of Thai Maternal and Child Health Network’s project management according to national context, the board has established an expansion model, which foresees the project expanding into various other areas, being carried out in a direction towards the expected outcome. Establishing a strategy map in each area begins with strengthening work forces in the provincial level. Since the public health system is directed by Office of Provincial Chief Medical Officer, which provides management and supports to community and district health promotion hospitals, not the general and regional hospitals. Thus, if there is to be an integration of both health promotion and treatment, an operational conference is essential. The conference would allow idea sharing and discussion between the multidisciplinary involved, namely obstetricians, pediatricians, general practitioners, registered nurses (from prenatal clinics, delivery rooms, emergency rooms, neonatal intensive care unit, neonatal wards and follow-up clinics, etc.), as well as public health technical officers, social medicine officers from community hospitals, general hospitals and regional hospitals.

  • “Thairefer” Medical Referral Software for Thais Thailand's National Health Security Act Requires That Every Hospital Provi
    1 “ThaiRefer” Medical Referral Software for Thais Thailand’s National Health Security Act requires that every hospital provide high quality medical services to its responsible service area. An effective medical referral system ensurespeople receive the best possible care. A referral system is a two-way process. 1) Outward referral is a process whereby an initiating hospital refers its patientwho requires a higher level of care to a higher level facility. It also means the process that a receiving hospital refers a patient back to an initiating hospital when a patient’s medical condition is improved. 2) Inward referral is a process that a receiving hospital provides, and continues medical services to a referred patient In the past, Thailand’s medical referral processhas had many challengessuch as using the telephone to call a referral hospital but they are unable to answer the call.There have also been problems with written referral notes, such as issuing a referral note without underlying diseases,omitted history of drug allergies, bad handwriting, andloss of attached notes about important laboratory tests,x-ray films, and EKG results. These problems increase unnecessary expenses such as call charges, fax charges, repeating laboratory tests, and repeating x-rays. Also, paper documentsare easily damaged and lost. In order to respond to this problem, many Thai hospitals have developed their own medical referral software. Two types of the software have been developed and used. 1) web-based software; this software is implemented in Saraburi hospital, Sakonakorn hospital, Yasotorn hospital, Bhudhashinaraj hospital, Khonken hospital, and MaharajChiangmai Hospital, and 2) web-service software; this software is implemented in Surin hospital and Roi-ed hospital (Refer Link).
