ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the application experience of integrated nursing mode in the treatment of extremely severe burn patients in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident.@*Methods@#On August 2nd, 2014, 35 extremely severe burn patients involved in the August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident were admitted to Wuxi Third People′s Hospital, including 18 males and 17 females, aged 21-50 years. According to the characteristics of the wounded, the situation of the nursing staff, and the characteristics of the nursing work, the integrated nursing mode was constructed and implemented to improve overall nursing quality. The standardized management measures such as cluster management of facilities and equipments in wards, improving and unifying nursing system, standardized training, drawing up " Nurses Compulsory Reading" , optimizing nursing shift handover and so on were taken. Professional quality control groups such as continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) group, static therapy group, airway group, and burn group were established, and standardized writing nursing group, wound nursing group, psychological nursing group, and enteral nutrition nursing group were set up under burn group. The treatment outcomes of patients and effects of nursing management, nursing methods, and specialty nursing were recorded.@*Results@#Twenty-seven patients survived the shock period, infection period, and recovery period smoothly. The success rate of rescue was 77.14%. During the treatment, the ward was in good order. The implementation rate of disinfection and isolation system, the completion rate of shift handover, the standard rate of intravenous therapy, the implementation rate of bed head elevation, the correct rate of posture placement, and the success rate of CRRT were all 100%. Successful turn over of rotating bed without interruption of CRRT for 24 hours was implemented in two patients. In many cases, the single filter for hemodialysis continuously run for more than 72 hours. The airway mucosa of patients healed around 20 days after injury. No adverse nursing events such as tracheal cannula detachment/blockage, respiratory distress, atelectasis, lung consolidation, aspiration by mistake, rotating bed rollover, ear chondritis, nasal septal pressure ulcer, vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) catheter blockage, VSD dressing leakage, severe abdominal distension/diarrhea, non-planned extubation/blockage of various intravenous treatment catheters implanted into deep veins and arteries were observed.@*Conclusions@#The integrated nursing mode significantly optimizes the nursing work process in the treatment of extremely severe mass burns, clarifies the duties of nursing staff, and improves the quality of nursing. This mode is worthy of taking reference by other burn treatment units.
ABSTRACT
In August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident 2014, 35 severe mass burn patients were admitted to our hospital, including 18 men and 17 women, aged 21 to 50 (38±9) years. Their severe injuries caused much difficulty to the treatment. In the early period of treatment, a series of measures of nursing human resource management were implemented, such as carrying out training program for non-burn speciality nurses of different levels and origin, grouping and task-dividing, organizing work schedule and assigning in a unified way, and establishing monitoring team of speciality quality. Except for 2 cases of deaths in the early period, the other 33 patients were treated and nursed timely and effectively in the early period. The rescue rate arrived at 94.3% (33/35) on the 17th day post burn. In this period, no such nursing adverse event and complication occurred as bed-dropping, unplanned extubation, coagulation in veins of lower limb, catheter-related infection, or cross infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore and analyze the effects of airway management team (AMT) in the treatment of severely mass burn patients combined with inhalation injury.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 58 severely burned patients combined with inhalation injury hospitalized in our unit from January 2012 to August 2014, conforming to the inclusion criteria, were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether airway management was implemented by AMT or not, patients hospitalized from January 2012 to July 2014 were divided into control group (n=27), while patients in Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident hospitalized on 2nd August 2014 were divided into observation group (n=31). Patients in control group received regular airway nursing carried out by nurses on duty, while patients in observation group received specialized airway concentration nursing implemented by AMT. The concrete implementation included overall assessment of patients′ airway, elaborate airway care, and controlled management of mechanical ventilation. Arterial blood gas indexes and oxygenation index of patients in the two groups on post injury day (PID) 1, 7, and 14 were compared. Sputum viscosity, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) occurrence rate, and ventilation time of patients in the two groups in post injury week(s) 1, 2, and 3 after admission were monitored and recorded. Survival rates of patients in the two groups were compared. Data were processed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, t test and Bonferroni correction, chi-square test, and Wilcoxon rank sum test.@*Results@#(1) There were no statistically significant differences in pH value, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), and oxygenation index of patients in the two groups on PID 1 (t=0.595, -0.166, 1.518, -0.828, 0.458, P>0.05). The pH values of patients in observation group on PID 7 and 14 were 7.327±0.050 and 7.367±0.043, respectively, significantly better than those in control group (7.304±0.021 and 7.390±0.029, respectively, t=-2.385, 2.391, P<0.05). The PaO2 values of patients in observation group on PID 7 and 14 were (95.1±6.7) and (106.3±7.8) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively, significantly higher than those in control group [(91.6±5.7) and (102.0±8.3) mmHg, respectively, t=-2.109, -2.059, P<0.05]. The PaCO2 values of patients in observation group on PID 7 and 14 were (41±4) and (40±4) mmHg, respectively, significantly lower than those in control group [(43±5) and (43±4) mmHg, respectively, t=2.220, 2.304, P<0.05]. The SaO2 values of patients in observation group on PID 7 and 14 were 0.95±0.04 and 0.96±0.04, respectively, significantly higher than those in control group (0.93±0.05 and 0.94±0.05, respectively, t=-2.201, -2.016, P<0.05). The oxygenation indexes of patients in observation group on PID 7 and 14 were (286±18) and (329±20) mmHg, significantly higher than those in control group [(277±14) and (306±58) mmHg, respectively, t=-2.263, -2.022, P<0.05]. (2) Sputum viscosity of patients in observation group in post injury week(s) 1, 2, and 3 were superior to that in control group (Z=-2.096, -2.076, -2.033, P<0.05). (3) VAP occurrence rate of patients in observation group was lower than that in control group, and time of mechanical ventilation of patients in observation group was shorter than that in control group (χ2=4.244, t=2.425, P<0.05). (4) Survival rate of patients in observation group was higher than that in control group (χ2=4.244, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The special intensive care of airway management by AMT can effectively improve the oxygenation status of severely burned patients combined with inhalation injury, alleviate the sputum viscosity, reduce the occurrence of VAP, and shorten the time of mechanical ventilation, thus benefits the treatment of severely mass burn patients combined with inhalation injury.
