ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore and analyze the characteristics and causes of intensive nursing needs of COVID-19 patients.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Critical patients′ treatment and care information were extracted through the HIS system of a designated hospital from critical patients with COVID-19. We used statistical descriptions to analyze patient general information, nursing degree, and therapeutic intensive care needs. The chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used to analyze the differences between characteristics of patients and nursing degree.Results:A total of 1 849 cases of critical patients were collected, including special grade nursing care 697(37.70%), grade I nursing care(62.30%). There were 893(48.30%)patients aged≥65 years, and 853(46.13%)patients with one or more complications. All patients required the nursing routine of infection department, and the therapeutic intensive care followed was vein blood collection(99.62%), oxygen inhalation(98.92%), oral medication(98.65%), finger pulse oxygen monitoring(77.07%)and pharyngeal swab collection(71.93%). The nursing degree of the patients with different gender, age, admission mode, body position and complications were statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:The intensive care nursing needs of COVID-19 patients are complex, which are special in treatment, life and psychology, and the tasks of nursing are heavy, difficult and professional. Special attention should be paid to elderly patients and patients with complications. Our hospital has established a provisional nursing department during the COVID-19 outbreak, coordinated nursing manpower and quality of nursing management, and set up a nursing expert consultation team to further enhance the quality of nursing care for critical COVID-19 patients.
ABSTRACT
Drug withdrawal has always been a tough challenge in drug quality management for the pharmacist. In order to optimize the drug withdrawal process, the hospital has introduced an inpatient pharmacy IT system. This system can efficiently minimize the drug withdrawal rate of major departments and withdrawal counts due to substandard quality problems, thus sizably avoiding human resource wastes in the conventional withdrawal process, reducing drug quality problem, enhancing management efficiency and efficiency of nursing staff and pharmacists, and ensuring clinical drug use safety.
