ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the Influence of improved ICU checklist on instrument management. Methods Reformed and improved the instrument delivery project in ICU checklist. The transfer situation from November 2014 to April 2015 as the control group.The situation from May to October in 2015 as the observation group.Compared the two groups of items of the transfer situation,the condition of nurses′ mastery of instrument parameters,the number of adverse events associated with the instrument and the satisfaction degree of the doctor on nursing work. Results Experimental instrument handover items in succession rate, incidence of adverse events, the doctor to nurse job satisfaction were 25.3% (278/1098), 6 cases, 93% (27/29), the control group were 59.6% (655/1098), 20 cases, 81% (17/21), the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 264.868, 7.629, 70.046, P < 0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions Improved ICU checklist on instrument management can effectively promote nurses′mastery of instrument parameters, reduce the occurrence of nursing adverse events, ensure patient safety, improve the doctors′ satisfaction on nursing job, and provide an important basis for nursing safety management department.
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.
ABSTRACT
Objective Through analyzing the causes of iodine contrast agent extravasation,nursing managers develop effective solutions timely and take appropriate precautionary measures to ensure the safety of patients effectively.Methods 600 patients undergoing CT contrast enhanced scan were selected,300 patients from May 2009 to April 2010 were set as the control group and were given routine nursing care,300 patients from May 2010 to April 2011 were set as the study group and they adopted effective preventive measures.The incidence of adverse events after injection of iodine contrast agent between the two groups was compared.Results The incidence of iodine contrast medium extravasation in the study group was significantly reduced to 2％ after taking a series of preventive measures,which was lower than 10％ of the control group.Conclusions Taking a series of preventive measures can reduce the incidence of adverse events of iodine contrast agent extravasation,ensure the safety of patients,decrease the frequency of nursing complaints and nursing deficiencies,as well as improve the quality of nursing service.
