ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the status quo of oral nursing in the emergency department of top three hospitals in Shanxi province, and to analyze the existing problems so as to provide the basis and reference for improving the clinical operation standard. Methods In the form of WeChat questionnaire, a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate 190 nurses who met the requirements in emergency departments of 6 top three hospitals in Shanxi province. Results All the 6 hospitals surveyed did not incorporate oral care into the nurse examination program; 28.42％(73/190) of the subjects had oral assessments of endotracheal intubation according to their clinical experience;chlorhexidine (70.00％,133/190) and physiological saline (65.79％,125/190) were the most commonly used oral care solutions in clinic;48.42％(92/190) of nurses performed this operation for 6-10 min;91.58％(114/190) of nurses believed that oral care played an important role in the recovery of these patients. Conclusions The oral care and oral care of the patients in the emergency department are mostly clinical experience, so it is urgent to establish a unified standard of implementation on the basis of evidence. The professional knowledge of oral nursing of the patients undergoing oral trachea intubation is low, so it is suggested that the training of emergency nurses be strengthened and the operation should be included in the assessment of nursing operations.
