Objective To determine the effects of the management mode participated by doctors, nurses and patients on the safety of medical tubes for restlessness patients in the Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Methods A total of 133 restlessness patients treated between May 17 and November 22, 2013 were included in the study as control group, who were admitted to the NICU before application of the management mode participated by doctors, nurses and patients; another 119 restlessness patients treated between May 17 and November 22, 2014 were included in the study as research group, who were admitted to the NICU after application of the management mode participated by doctors, nurses and patients. Then we compared the accidental extubation situation between the two groups. Results The accidental extubation rate of all kinds of medical tubes in the research group was lower than that in the control group, among which the extubation rate of urethral catheter (0.67% vs. 4.32%), gastric tube (2.26% vs. 10.14%), trachea cannula (1.08% vs. 7.84%), and arterial cannulation pipeline (1.12% vs. 6.93%) was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The management mode participated by doctors, nurses and patients can effectively reduce the accidental extubation rate of medical tubes for restlessness patients, prevent the occurrence of adverse events and ensure the treatment and nursing safety in the NICU.
