Management of Croup: A Quality Improvement Project
Poster Description
In 2019, following anecdotal reports of high numbers of croup admissions receiving nebulised adrenaline, we carried out a QI project of acute croup management in the Oxford Children’s Hospital. Interventions were developed to improve clinical knowledge of croup management and enhance support structures for staff treating croup patients. Following intervention in Autumn 2020, 32 patients were seen with croup, 97% were treated appropriately with oral steroids, only 2 required admission and none received nebulised adrenaline.
