Medical-Public Vomit Incident (PVI) Evaluation
|
Violation:
The review of medical logs disclosed several instances when there were no notes about medical evaluation for incidents of individuals vomiting in public areas. It was unclear if these passengers met the AGE reportable definition and had to be isolated since no evaluation was documented. These passengers were identified by name and cabin. The PVI dates identified were: (1) December 31 at 20:01 in guest corridor, (2) January 10 at 18:08 in aft elevator (a telephone medical consult was documented for this passenger where vomit and diarrhea was part of the symptoms given to the medical staff by the passenger and there was no additional follow up documented), (3) February 5 at 0938 in public area, (4) February 19 at 16:20 in public area, (5) March 4 at 1400 in public area, (6) March 31 at 11:40 in front of Dive-In, and (7) April 4 at 19:51 in guest corridor.

Recommendation:
Ensure a reportable case of AGE is a case reported to the master of the vessel, the medical staff, or other designated staff by a passenger or a crew member and meets the case definition based on the following symptoms: (1) Diarrhea (three or more episodes of loose stools in a 24 hour period or what is above normal for the individual. See section 4.1.2.1.3, illness symptoms); or (2) vomiting and one additional symptom including one or more episodes of loose stools in a 24-hour period, or abdominal cramps, or headache, or muscle aches, or fever (temperature of greater than or equal to 38C [100.4F]). Ensure medical records document evaluations for public vomit/diarrhea incidents when the individuals involved are identified. Proper evaluation should include determining if the individuals meet the definition of an AGE reportable case and assessing the need for isolation.
