Objective To explore the feasibility and the security of one-day stay ward in stripping surgery of saphenous vein varicosity. Methods Two hundred and eighty two patients treated in our hospital in 2011 were enrolled in this study， according to the operation mode， these patients were divided into 2 groups， ninety patients in one-day stay ward group and one hundred and ninety two patients in in-patient group. Their clinical features and medical operation indexs（included preoperative waiting time， duration of hospital stay， and medical cost）were retrospectively analyzed. Results There was no statistical differences on clinical features between the two groups. But compared with in-patient group， the preoperative waiting time， duration of hospital stay， and medical cost were shorter or lower in one-day stay ward group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions The one-day stay ward operation mode can decrease preoperative waiting time， duration of hospital stay and medical cost significantly， and it also can ensure the safety of clinical treatment. So it’s worthy in the clinical promotion.
ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of pediatric day surgery (PDS) program. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 148 pediatric surgeries between June 2012 and June 2013, including 31 for cryptorchidism, 53 for concealed penis, and 64 for hernia. According to the operation mode, these children were divided into PDS group and in-patient group. Analysis of the postoperative complications and hospital stay, and hospitalization expenses was carried out. ResultsThere was no statistical differences on success rate of operation, re-admission rate, postoperative fever, and postoperation nausea and vomiting between the two groups (P>0.05). But compared with the in-patient group, hospitalization expenses, medical cost, therapeutic treatment fee and hospital stay were significantly lower or shorter in the PDS group (P<0.05). ConclusionPDS is a safe and cost-effective program that reduces the average hospitalization days, reduces the per capita hospitalization cost, increases the turnover of beds, and benefits the child and the family.
ObjectiveTo explore the role of fast-track surgery (FTS) in day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) pain management. MethodsWe used bidirectional cohort study to investigate the patients undergoing day surgery of laparoscopic cholecystectomy admitted into our department. A total of 143 patients between April and September 2014 receiving routine pain management were chosen to be the control group, and 78 patients between October 2014 and January 2015 receiving FTS pain management were regarded as the FTS group. Postoperative pain, early ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, patients' satisfaction and prolonged hospital stay rate were compared between the two groups. ResultsPain scores of patients in the FTS group 0-0.5, 0.5-6, 6-12, and 12-24 hours after surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of patients with early postoperative ambulation and patients' satisfaction rate in the FTS group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe FTS pain management model can effectively reduce patients' pain after DLC, accelerate patients' postoperative rehabilitation and increase patients' satisfaction.
ObjectiveTo investigate the application and effect of doctor-nurse collaboration model for patients undergoing day surgery of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MethodsFrom April 2010 to October 2013, we established the day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy rapid rehabilitation team by day-surgery ward nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgeons. Collaboration was practiced through preoperative health education for the 1 902 patients, perioperative nursing cooperation, postoperative early activity and feeding of the patients, and follow-up. ResultsAfter the operation, there were 8 cases of incision bleeding, 1 case of bile leakage, 8 cases of shoulder and back pain, and 12 cases of nausea and vomiting. All the patients' postoperitive complications were controlled after treatment. ConclusionThe doctor-nurse collaboration model can significantly ensure the medical quality and safety of day surgery and improve the patients' medical experience. All the Patients, hospital and society will benefit from the model.
ObjectiveTo carry out health education to day surgery patients, assist the smoothness of their operation, promote early recovery of patients and improve the quality of nursing and patients' degree of satisfaction. MethodsA total of 1 888 operations from January to May, 2013 were chosen to be the control group; and 2 136 operations from January to May, 2014 were regarded as the trail group. Patients in the control group accepted routine nursing and health education, while patients in the trail group accepted health education before and after surgery, and through telephone during the follow-up period. ResultsThe rate of failure to keep the appointment, the readmission rates, and the satisfaction rate to the nursing work were 0.28%, 0.94% and 94.71% respectively in the trial group, while were 3.50%, 3.07%, and 90.20%, respectively in the control group. the differeces between the two groups were significant (P<0.05). ConclusionPersonalized health education can ensure the smooth operation of day surgery, advance wound healing of the patients, and improve the day surgery ward care quality and patient satisfaction.
ObjectiveTo analyze the increased risks of nursing due to expansion of ophthalmic day surgery indications, and the countermeasures. MethodsWe collected the information in the last three years from January 2012 to December 2014 in the Department of Ophthalmology, including the number of operations, the proportion of cataract patients, patients aged over 70 and under 12 years old, patients with high-risk fall, the number of general anesthesia operations, adverse events, and the data from the satisfaction survey of the patients. All the data were analyzed by statistical method. ResultsDuring the last three years, the relaxation of ophthalmic day surgery indications led to an increased admission rate of high-risk patients, and caused more nursing risk factors. Through the efforts of prevention and care, during the last three years, there were no adverse events, and patients had a satisfaction rate over 90%. ConclusionAlthough the ophthalmic day surgery indication has been relaxed, through the establishment of nursing risk response system by pre-hospital guidance, admission assessment, peri-operative education and follow-up visit, with the continuous improvement of nursing management system and convenient workflow, we can not only improve the work efficiency, but also ensure nursing safety.
Objective To explore the effect of community-hospital continuous nursing on the satisfaction of day surgery patients in terms of their nursing needs. Methods Sixty patients hospitalized in the day surgery ward in our hospital from April 2014 to March 2015 were enrolled in this study. According to the order of admission, they were divided into control group and observation group with 30 patients in each. Patients in the control group were given health guidance, while those in the observation group were given continuous nursing. Questionnaire survey was conducted in both the two groups. The nursing needs of patients after surgery were summarized, and the satisfaction of patients’ nursing needs through different nursing methods were analyzed. Quality of life questionnaire-C30 was used to evaluate the quality of life of the two groups of patients one month and three months after surgery, and the incidence of postoperative complications of the two groups was statistically analyzed. The changes of daily life ability of patients one month and three months after surgery were evaluated by the modified PAP index. Results Day surgery patients had a high demand for postoperative incision care, dressing change, postoperative medication, dietary guidance, postoperative guidance, health education and other aspects of health care needs. There was little demand for oral pipeline care and physical therapy. The satisfaction rate of patients in the observation group toward n ursing service (96.7%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (66.7%) (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative wound bleeding, poor healing, infection, urinary retention and other complications in the observation group was lower than those in the control group, but only the difference in the incidence of infection was statistically significant (P < 0.05). One month and three months after surgery, the quality of life in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The complete self-care ratio in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the proportion of slight defect in the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Continuous community-hospital nursing can improve the satisfaction of patients toward nursing service, promote patients’ quality of life, and facilitate patients’ recovery after surgery.
Objective To investigate the efficacy of improved clinical nursing path for day surgery of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods The clinical data of 3 274 patients who underwent day surgery of LC following the clinical pathway between January 2011 and December 2015 were collected. The rate of adverse events including pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), retention of urine and staxis before and after the improvement of clinical nursing path was analyzed and compared. Results For adverse event rate before and after the improvement of clinical nursing path, the difference in the incidence of pain and PONV was statistically significant (P < 0.05), while the difference in retention of urine and staxis was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions Through the improvement of clinical nursing path for LC during day time, the procedure of nursing becomes more standardized. It is more feasible for clinical work and postoperative adverse reactio n rate becomes lower. It can also help shorten postoperative rehabilitation time and ensure perioperative medical quality and safety.
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of nursing measures based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for patients undergoing day surgery of inguinal hernia repair. Methods A total of 120 patients scheduled for day surgery of inguinal hernia repair between January and June 2015 were randomized into ERAS group (n=60) and control group (n=60). Patients in the ERAS group received nursing optimized by the idea of ERAS during the perioperative period, while those in the control group received traditional routine nursing intervention. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, adverse responses, early ambulation, influence of pain on patients’ sleep, satisfaction of the patients and prolonged hospital stay rate were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results VAS scores during hours 0-2, 2-4, 4-8, and 8-12 in the ERAS group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Between hour 12 and 24, the VAS sco res were not significantly different between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). Early postoperative ambulation, influence of pain on the sleep, and patients’ satisfaction on pain control and nursing care in the ERAS group were all significantly better than those in the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion Based on the concept of ERAS nursing intervention model, we can effectively reduce postoperative complications after inguinal hernia repair, accelerate patients’ postoperative rehabilitation, and increase patients’ satisfaction.
Objective To design nursing record sheet for day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology and evaluate its effect through clinical application. Methods The nursing record sheet for day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology was designed based on the theory of forms and record control, using the method of process analysis and process reengineering and taking into consideration the characteristics of nursing care during day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology. The adverse event rate in nursing for ophthalmologic surgery and the satisfaction rate of operating room nurses were calculated before and after the application of this record sheet. Results From July to October 2015, the Department of Ophthalmology was involved in 9 cases (7.96%) of adverse events resulting from drawbacks of the nursing record design or mistakes in recording. From November 2015 to February 2016, the Department of Ophthalmology was involved in only 1 case (1.28%) of advense event resulting from defect caused by nuring record sheet; the difference was significant (P < 0.05). From July to October 2015, the satisfaction rate of oph thalmologic nurses before using the nursing record sheet was 54.33%, which was significantly improved to 98.71% from November 2015 to February 2016 after the utilization of the nursing record sheet. Conclusion The nursing record sheet for day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology has been appropriately designed and is easy to use, which can improve the quality of surgery nursing as well as the satisfaction of operating room nurses.
