Based on observations, interviews, and facility policy review it was determined the facility failed to assure one of one staff transported oxygen canisters in a safe manner. Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) AAA was observed carrying an oxygen canister under her armpit. This had the potential to affect all 97 residents who reside in the facility. Findings include: On 9/18/17 around 1:20 p.m., CNA AAA was observed rapidly approaching a closed door on the back hall. Closer observations revealed the aide was transporting an oxygen canister, underneath her right arm pit. At the time, the aide was asked by the surveyor what she was doing. The aide shared she was putting the empty canister in the storage room. During the above interview with the aide, she was asked how she was trained to transport oxygen canisters. She reported she knew she was supposed to use a carrier to transport the oxygen and added if the canister was to drop it could explode. CNA AAA said she did not have a carrier at the time she was removing the canister. A review of the facility's undated Oxygen Safety policy revealed .d. Oxygen cylinders will be properly chained or supported in racks or other fastenings (i.e. sturdy portable carts approved stands) to secure all cylinders from falling, whether connected, unconnected, full or empty. A resource found at: http://ww.ashe.org/compliance/ec_02_06_01/01_medgas_cylinder_storage.shtml, Medical Gas Cylinder Storage, revealed If a cylinder or cylinder valve is damaged by falling .the cylinder could act like a projectile and fly through the air or spin in circles with great force until pressure is exhausted . On 9/21/17 at 8:53 a.m., during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) she revealed her expectation was for staff to utilize the oxygen carrier to safely transport oxygen full or empty canisters. |
