Hospital incident command system is a series of management systems for emergencies response of hospitals from the United States. Some hospitals in many countries have applied this system, but it has not yet been applied in China. In the process of responding to the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, West China Hospital of Sichuan University managed coronavirus disease 2019 patients through a standardized and programmatic model using the concept and framework of hospital incident command system, which included organizing hospital incident management team, carrying out incident action plan, space management, personnel management, material management and information management, in order to carry out standardized and procedural crisis response. This article introduces these management measures of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, aiming to provide a reference for establishing a more complete hospital emergency management system in line with China’s system in the future.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness and safety of salvianolate injection and Danshen injection for patients with angina pectoris, and evaluate the cost of drug. MethodsWe electronically searched databases including PubMed, CENTRAL (Issue 4, 2013), CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data (2004.1 to 2013.5) for the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the comparison between salvianolate injection and Danshen injection for angina pectoris from January 2004 to May 2013. Relevant journals and conference proceedings were also manually retrieved. Two reviewers independently screened literature in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data and assess the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 1 196 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, salvianolate injection was obviously superior to Danshen injection in the effectiveness (OR=3.79, 95%CI 2.78 to 5.17, P < 0.000 01) and safety (OR=0.24, 95%CI 0.09 to 0.64, P=0.004), but lack of economic advantages in the treatment of the angina pectoris diseases. ConclusionCurrent evidence indicates that, salvianolate injection is a safe and effective scheme for angina pectoris, and Danshen injection is considered as a economic method. Because of the limited quantity and quality of currently-available research, the aforementioned conclusion should be verified by strictly-designed and large-scale sample RCTs.
Objective To use Kaiser model, three-dimensional risk matrix and Borda ordinal value method comprehensively to analyze the vulnerability of disasters, and identify the key prevention and control risks of the hospital. Methods From June to December 2020, a disaster vulnerability analysis was conducted on a tertiary hospital in southwest China. The risk event evaluation index system was established by referring to the Kaiser model, and the evaluation indexes were classified into three aspects: possibility, controllability and harmfulness. The three-dimensional risk matrix was used to calculate the risk score to determine the risk level. The Borda ordinal value was used to compare the ranking of risk events in the same risk level. Result “Violent medical injuries” “terrorist attacks” and “explosions” were the highest ranked risk events, which needed to be prioritized and targeted for improvement. Conclusions Disaster vulnerability analysis is an important means of emergency management in hospitals. Managers should dynamically assess hospital risks, take effective preventive measures for high-risk events, conduct emergency plan drills, continuously improve risk warning mechanisms, and enhance emergency management capabilities.
Objective To investigate the information of label use of high-alert drugs for children of high risk population, in the Military General Hospital of Beijing PLA. Methods We selected high-alert drugs used in this hospital as objectives. The package inserts of these drugs were investigated and medication parts for children were analyzed. Results 201 drugs regarded as high-alert drugs were included, of which only 78 drugs have accurate detailed description of medication for children, accounting for 38.8% of the total of investigated high-alert drugs. Conclusion Children, as high-risk population, needs more attention concerning the use of high-alert drugs. However, risks in the use of high-alert drugs increased due to the lack of the information of label use of high-alert drugs. To ensure the safety of drug use in children, the information of drug use for children in the package inserts should be urgently supplemented.
