Patients given a red jug and mug received a patient information leaflet; families were informed of the scheme. Some may have been issued by the original factories, but others may have been coloured elsewhere, and some are obviously later reproductions. Introduced as part of the Trust’s ‘But First a Drink’ initiative earlier this month, colour-coded jugs are used as a simple visual cue to monitor a patient’s fluid intake. These sleeves are available in four colours and are useful for quickly identifying different types of milk to help prevent cross contamination.If an employee is unclear which chemicals are in the containers or what areas of the facility the containers have resided in, the risk of chemical accidents and cross-contamination greatly increases. News of other interesting unmarked jugs and particularly the discovery of any marked examples of these designs would be very welcome. It has been immensely satisfying that this scheme has been accepted in many trusts in the UK, and also has garnered interest internationally. With around 45% of patients becoming dehydrated during an inpatient stay, it is known to slow recovery and make patients more sustainable to issues such as; constipation, pressure ulcers, acute kidney injury, cardiac disease and venous thromboembolism.

Reaching the green lid stage is significant to this as this shows the patient has drank 1500ml of water which reduces their risk of dehydration. Espresso Gear's hard wearing non stick Teflon coating makes it quick and easy to rinse off these jugs, saving precious time for busy baristas. Nursing staff at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH) are set to implement a number of innovative measures to help patients stay hydrated – a major challenge for health professionals. By a strange quirk of fate, in about 1982 John Steele at the Antique Collectors’ Club asked me to have a look at a manuscript about jugs he had received for possible publication. Our best selling straight-sided foaming jugs are now available with Teflon coating for super quick and easy cleaning.

The introduction of traffic light system is DBTH’s approach to reducing dehydration amongst patients.

If nurses are concerned about patient’s water intake, such as if the red lid is still attached by the late afternoon, there are escalation processes to alert senior colleague for further action. At the time of writing this site now covers well over 400 different jug designs, nearly 90% illustrated, and there are over 560 images of jugs plus a further 250 images of marks, source prints and other related items. I would be delighted to receive comments, compliments or brick-bats, and particularly future contributions, be they information or images. The jugs selected are easier to use than standard hospital equipment because they have thicker handles and the lid remains in place when patients pour a drink. The challenge now is to continue to deliver high standards of care and to continue to listen to ideas and empower staff because, as this scheme has demonstrated, sometimes the simplest ideas have the biggest impact on patient care.The sandblasted outer finish is durable and can last for years without scratching, and the teflon c. A number of relief-moulded jugs are found which are extensively coloured, not just with coloured backgrounds or small amounts of colouring to pick out the moulding. Designed to prevent cross-contamination, these sleeves are available in four colours, and can be used to identify different types of milk.

The Copyright of Designs Act of 1842 introduced a system where designs could be registered to protect them from being copied. These marks are covered in detail elsewhere and the reader is recommended particularly to the two Cushion mark books (Cushion H and Cushion P) or Godden's Handbook (Godden NH) for more detail. The Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool and Waterlow pressure ulcer score were used to identify people who needed a red jug and mug as no hydration assessment tool was available. In 2009, a staff nurse developed a poster about dehydration, which was seen by patients, relatives and staff. The choices include elegant glass options to match your glassware, individually made by skilled craftspeople and durable plastic jugs ideal for ice-cold refreshments.When the patient has drunk their first jug, it will be refilled with fresh water - lid changed to amber. If staff are concerned about the patient’s fluid intake the red lid is used throughout and a blue lid has also been introduced for patients with strict fluid restrictions. Since the above introduction was written over 18 months ago, there are lots of developments to report. Any patient tolerating less than 500ml a day orally was given a red jug and mug and patients assessed as having a poor fluid intake on admission were also considered for the project.
