Is everyone really breathing 20 times a minute? Assessing epidemiology and variation in recorded respiratory rate in hospitalised adults.
The researchers sought to assess the potential accuracy of respiratory rate (RR) by analyzing the distribution and variation as a proxy, since RR should be normally distributed if recorded accurately. The observed patterns suggest that RR is inaccurately recorded, even among those with cardiopulmonary compromise, and represents a 'spot' estimate with values of 18 and 20 breaths per minute representing 'normal.’

Promoters and barriers to implementation of tracheal intubation airway safety bundle: a mixed-method analysis.
This study describes promoters and barriers to implementation of an airway safety quality improvement bundle from the perspective of interdisciplinary frontline clinicians and ICU quality improvement leaders. Both early and late adopters identified similar promoter and barrier themes. Early adopter sites customized the quality improvement bundle and had an interdisciplinary quality improvement team approach.
