Implementation of the ABCDE bundle: results from a real-world, pragmatic study design

Care processes in the ABCDE bundle (daily awakening, breathing trials, delirium management, early mobility) have been shown to improve a range of clinical outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, uptake of the ABCDE bundle has been inconsistent to date. We examined the effectiveness of a structured implementation program on ABCDE bundle adoption across ICUs in 6 different Baylor Scott & White Hospitals.
