ObjectiveTo confirm the effect of comprehensive prevention and care measures in reducing the incidence of multi-drug resistance in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. MethodFrom March 1 to August 31 in 2014, we took routine measures to prevent multi-drug-resistant infections in ICU patients, and from September 1 in 2014 to February 28 in 2015, We added a series of comprehensive prevention measures to prevent multi-drug resistant infections including focus on isolation, temperature control of the ward, ward disinfection, quality improvement of basic care, standardized management and disinfection of equipments in ICU. Finally, we compared the detection rate of multi-drug resistant patients before and after the comprehensive nursing intervention. ResultsAfter taking comprehensive care interventions and a six-month monitoring, the detection rate of multi-resistant bacteria occurred in 11.87‰ of the patients. Compared with the previous six months, the detection rate dropped from 16.64‰ to 11.87‰ with a significant difference (χ2=6.346,P=0.012). ConclusionsComprehensive nursing intervention measures taken by the ICU department can effectively reduce multi-drug resistant infections in ICU patients.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of precise management on life-saving equipment management in Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU). MethodsWe actualized precise management in the life-saving equipment management process in March 2014, including precise management control system, precise personnel training, and precise process management. ResultsAfter precise management, the knowledgement of life-saving equipment of the nurses increased from 90.2% (May, 2014) to 98.5%. The number of equipments repaired before (March-May, 2014) and after the management (June-August, 2014) was 65 and 47, respectively; the number of nonstandard management times in nurses after the equipments were used was 98 and 10, respectively. ConclusionPrecise management can drastically improve management efficiency, serviceability rate and service efficiency of life-saving equipment, obviously enhancing the degree of familiarity and using skills of clinical nurses, and ensuring quick and smooth emergency work. It plays an active role in securing severe patients' life.
