Objective To discuss the running effect of the modified hospital-community integrated two-way-referral service mode in day surgery. Methods The hospital-community integrated two-way-referral service mode in day surgery was built in May 2014 by our center, and applied in the communities’ health service network in Chenghua District, Wuhou District, and Jinjiang District. From March 2017 some improvements of the mode were made, such as assigning specific person for the management of two-way-referral, conducting lectures in communities to train the community medical staff, and carrying out gratuitous treatment. The community acceptance rate and patients satisfaction were retrospectively analyzed between March of 2016 and March of 2017, and the number of upward referral (from community to hospital) was retrospectively analyzed between March to June of 2016 and March to June of 2017. Results The community acceptance rate was elevated from 81.3% to 99.1% and the patients satisfaction was improved from 95.4% to 100.0%, and the differences between the two periods were statistically significant (P<0.05). The number of upward referral increased from 0 to 23. Conclusions The modified hospital-community integrated service mode could optimize the course of surgery appointment, and make it convenient for patients. Furthermore, it also adjusts the reasonable allocation of medical resource effectively and promotes the implementation of national hierarchical medical system.
Although day surgery started late in China, its development momentum is strong. Due to the advantages of day surgery, the requirements of new medical reform and the promotion of national policies, thousands of hospitals have tried this innovative operation management mode in the past decade, presenting a picture of blooming flowers in full bloom. However, due to the lack of unified management standards for day surgery in China, there are still many practical problems in China, such as inconsistent definitions, inconsistent connotations and diversified management modes. It is believed that the day surgery will develop healthily and sustainably in China after the relevant management standards are formulated at the national level. Based on the development of day surgery at home and abroad, this paper discusses the expectation and prospect of day surgery in China.
ObjectiveTo establish a systematic, scientific, and sensitive index system to provide a scientific basis for quality evaluation and comprehensive quality management of day surgery nursing.MethodsThe databases of Wanfang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, CQVIP, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to 15th July, 2019. Based on the “structure-process-outcome” management model, Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultation for nursing experts related to day surgery in five tertiary hospitals. The results of the consultation were sorted out and the consensus of experts was obtained, so as to determine the quality-sensitive indicators of day surgery nursing.ResultsA total of 20 nursing experts participated in the questionnaire survey. The final evaluation indicators determined by expert correspondence included 1 structural indicator, 9 process indicators, and 4 outcome indicators.ConclusionsThe construction of quality evaluation standard of day surgery nursing not only embodies the connotation of nursing management of day surgery, but also puts forward clear requirements and quality standards for specialized nursing management. It has high reliability, scientificity, and strong operability, which can effectively improve the quality of nursing management and service level of day surgery.
Day surgery is flourishing in public hospitals in China with the advantages of strong planning, short stay and high efficiency. Under the background of “diversification of surgeons, diversification of disease structure and precision of scheduling needs”, higher requirements are put forward for refined scheduling strategies of day surgery. The research of scientific and precise surgical scheduling strategy is of great significance to realize efficient coordination and optimal allocation of day surgical resources. This article reviews the necessity of precise scheduling of day surgery, the current situation of scheduling of day surgery, the key dimensions affecting the scheduling of day surgery, and the evaluation system for precise scheduling of day surgery.
Objective To explore the effectiveness of tension-free herniorrhaphy with Ultrapro Plug (UPP) mesh through a femoris approach for femoral hernia repair. Methods Between March 2009 and January 2013, 123 patients (126 sides) underwent tension-free herniorrhaphy with UPP mesh through a femoris approach. There were 17 males and 106 females, aged 32-95 years (mean, 63.3 years). The locations were the left side in 48 cases, the right side in 72 cases, and both sides in 3 cases. The disease duration was 1 month to 26 years (median, 25 months). Of 123 cases, 35 cases (36 sides) were reducible and 88 cases (90 sides) were irreducible. According to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, 20 cases were rated as grade I, 42 cases as grade II, 56 cases as grade III, and 5 cases as grade IV. The operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, complication, recurrence, and chronic pain were recorded. Results The operation time was 7-28 minutes (mean, 14.5 minutes); postoperative hospitalization time was 2-96 hours (mean, 19.4 hours) (112 patients discharged from hospital within 24 hours). Wound dehiscence occurred in 1 case and fat liquefaction in 2 cases. A total of 119 patients (122 sides) were followed up 4-50 months (median, 18 months); no recurrence was noted. Two cases (2 sides) suffered from chronic pain after operation, whose visual analogue scale (VAS) was 20 mm and 30 mm, respectively. Conclusion Tension-free herniorrhaphy with UPP mesh through a femoris approach should be recommended because it has the advantages of simple operation, short operation time, less complication, and lower incidence of chronic pain.
Objective To analyze the clinical effect of individualized pain nursing intervention on the pain relieving after ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) . Methods From March to June 2017, a total of 180 ambulatory LC patients were selected and randomly asigned into the control group and the intervention group with 90 cases in each group. Parecoxib sodium (40 mg) was preoperatively administrated half an hour before the surgery to the patients in both of the two groups. The patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing intervention, while the ones in the intervention group were given individualized pain nursing interventions, including regular pain assessment, preoperative pain health guidance, enhanced education for pain related knowledge, and following the nursing theory of enhanced recovery after surgery. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to measure the degree of postoperative pain, and the data of dormant pain were collected. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in VAS one hour after the operation (P>0.05); the VAS scores 2, 6 and 12 hours after the operation gradually decreased in the two groups (P<0.05), and the scores of patients in the intervention group were much lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The time of pain relieving in the intervention group and the control group was (3.25±1.72) and (5.39±2.06) hours, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of dormant pain in the intervention group (12.2%) was lower than that in the control group (33.3%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Individualized pain nursing interventions can effectively alleviate the postoperative pain and improve the quality of sleep in ambulatory LC patients.
Day surgery is a new mode of diagnosis and treatment, and is greatly honoured and rewarded abroad. In China, day surgery begins rather later, but it has been gradually spread and applied in some large hospitals for its shorter hospital stay and less hospitalization cost. Day surgery management is a process including admission, operation, and discharge that should be finished within 24 hours, so the guarantee of medical quality and patient safety is principal factor of sustainable development influencing day surgery. This paper introduces the specifications for the quality and safety management of day surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, to regulate and promote the application of day surgery, and further improve the medical quality and safety of day surgery.
At present, the mode of day surgery has been widely carried out in China. With the rapid turnover of patients, higher requirements have been put forward for the management of nosocomial infection. Therefore, it needs norms for the management of nosocomial infection in the day surgery ward. After 10 years of precipitation, under the guidance of the hospital infection management department, the hospital infection management system for the day surgery ward of West China Hospital of Sichuan University has been continuously researched and explored, so as to ensure the rapid turnover of patients and make the hospital infection management meet the national standards. The system includes patient management and control, environmental management and control, matters needing attention of medical staff, surgical site infection data collection, and indicators of hospital infection supervision, etc.
Since 2015, when the day surgery mode was officially reckoned and supported by the National Health Commission, the day surgery model has entered the new period of rapid development. But at the same time, challenges in the vacancy of the evaluation indexes of the medical quality and safety of day surgery still pose obstacles to its growth. At present, there is no nationally unified evaluating index or appraising system for the day surgery-related medical quality and safety. In this paper, based on structure-process-outcome theory, the day surgery practice and involved researching literature were retrieved, reviewed, and analyzed. Also, the practice model at West China Hospital of Sichuan University (a pioneer day surgery hospital in China) was comprehensively compared with the National Clinical Improvement System. From the aspect of day surgery medical quality and safety evaluation indicators, it is hoped to provide an evidence-based method and evaluation of day surgery, and a theoretical basis for establishing policies and data reference.
Objective To analyze the causes of unplanned overnight recovery of patients after same-day surgery and put forward countermeasures. Methods The data of same-day surgery patients in the Day Surgery Center of West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University between February 2022 and May 2023 were selected. Patients who recovered overnight were defined as the unplanned overnight recovery group, and patients discharged on the same day after surgery were defined as the normal same-day group. The factors of unplanned overnight recovery after same-day surgery were analyzed. Results A total of 4 259 patients were enrolled, of whom 107 patients had unplanned overnight recovery, 4 152 patients were discharged on the same day after surgery, unplanned overnight recovery group accounted for 2.51% (107/4 259). Except for gender and age (P>0.05), there were significant differences between the two groups in the following six aspects: late starting time of surgery, longer distance from home, medical insurance settlement restrictions, pain, postoperative complications, and patient’s own factors (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the late starting time of surgery [odds ratio (OR)=9.386, 95% confidence interval (CI) (2.993, 29.432), P<0.001], long distance from address [OR=4.828, 95%CI (2.015, 11.568), P<0.001], medical insurance settlement restrictions [OR=10.667, 95%CI (3.712, 30.658), P<0.001], pain [OR=30.514, 95%CI (7.688, 121.115), P<0.001], postoperative complications [OR=9.642, 95%CI (2.425, 38.342), P=0.001], and patient’s own factors [OR=16.087, 95%CI (10.358, 24.985), P<0.001] were risk factors for unplanned overnight recovery in same-day surgery patients. Conclusions The unplanned overnight recovery of same-day surgery patients in West China Tianfu Hospital of Sichuan University is related to six factors: late starting time of surgery, long distance from home, medical insurance settlement restrictions, pain, postoperative complications, and patient’s own factors. Medical staff can take corresponding measures to reduce the unplanned overnight recovery rate of same-day surgery by strict access standards, optimizing surgical scheduling, formulating individualized enhanced recovery after surgery programs, improving support for patient after discharge, and strengthening perioperative health education.
