Objective  To explore the application effect of process optimization in perioperative venous access management. Methods  A total of 205 general surgery patients in the Operating Room of Cheng Du Shang Jin Nan Fu Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April to May 2018 were selected as the control group, and 205 general surgery patients from June to August 2018 were selected as the observation group. The traditional management process was used in the control group, and the process optimization management was performed in the observation group. The establishment of venous access and related complications between the two groups of patients, as well as the satisfaction of patients and staff before and after the process optimization were compared. Results  There was no significant difference in gender, age, education level, operation type, anesthesia method, operation duration, or intraoperative intravenous infusion channels between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, educational background, job title, job nature, or working years of the staff participating in the satisfaction survey before and after the process optimization (P>0.05). The rate of repetitive venous puncture (15.61% vs. 58.05%) and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach (10.73% vs. 52.20%) in the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of tube blockage, detubation, or phlebitis/exudation between the two groups (P>0.05). After process optimization, patient satisfaction (22.91±3.43 vs. 17.44±4.90) and staff satisfaction (28.17±2.56 vs. 20.65±3.71) were higher than before optimization, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions  The process optimization of venous access management for perioperative patients can effectively reduce the rate of venous repeated venipuncture and the idelness ratio of the intraoperative indwelling needle approach, reduce invasive operations on patients, reduce the ineffective work of nurses, avoid the waste of medical resources such as manpower and materials, and improve the satisfaction of patients and staff. It is worthy of promotion and application.
