ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of single renal transplantation from infant kidney donation after death (DCD) and summarize the nursing measures for nursing the infants. Method The clinical data of 36 cases of single kidney transplantation from 18 infant donors from January 2014 to June 2016 in our centre were reviewed and summarize the nursing experience. Results Pulmonary infection occurred in 3 cases, incision infection occurred in 2 cases and graft vascular complication occurred in 2 cases. Urinary fistula occurred in 2 cases, ureteral obstruction occurred in 1 case, delayed graft function (DGF) occurred in 16. Postoperative follow-ups for 1 to 20 months showed all the grafted kidneys survived and 34 of them were well recovery in view of renal function of grafted kidney and the rest two had the grafted kidneys resected because of arterial and venous thrombus in them. Conclusions The renal transplantation from infant DCD is difficult. The nurses should handle postoperative care to the patients, paying attention to the complications. On the other hand, intra-and post-operative monitoring of blood pressure, control of input and output and early observation of complications and treatment is of value for the improvement of survival rate of grafted kidneys, reduction of complication incidence and propelled recovery of the patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate effect of Murphy's law on the nursing safety management of the hemodialysis patients. Methods 4598 hemodialysis cases in a blood purification center of a first class grade A hospital from April to July in 2011 was assigned as pre-implementation group.Then Murphy's law was used in the nursing practice.In the following,another 5683 hemodialysis cases from November in 2011 to January in 2012 were assigned as post-implementation group.The incidence of nursing risks and hemodialysis equipment failures were compared between the two groups.Result The incidences of nursing risks and hemodialysis equipment failures in the post-implementation group were significantly lower than those of the pre-implementation group(P<0.05).Conclusions Murphy’s law is effective for the declines of nursing manipulative defects and hemodialysis equipment failures.Besides,the law can be good for the strengthened awareness of safety and enhanced consciousness of all staff participating in the safety management so as to ensure the safety and quality of hemodialysis.
