Validity of continuous pulse oximetry orders for identification of actual monitoring status in bronchiolitis.
Investigators used direct bedside observation to determine continuous pulse oximetry monitor use in infants with bronchiolitis and then assessed if an active continuous monitoring order was present in the electronic health record. They found that most monitored infants did not have an active monitoring order. The positive predictive value of a monitoring order was 77%, and the negative predictive value was 69%. They recommended that teams intending to measure continuous pulse oximetry use understand the limitations of using electronic health record orders as a stand-alone measure.
