ObjectiveTo analyze the effectiveness of PDCA cycle model in antibiotics management by comparison of antibiotics use before and after the use of PDCA in a tertiary hospital. MethodsProspective study was adopted to analyze the using rate of antibiotics in outpatients, emergent patients and inpatients between June 2011 and December 2013. ResultsThe reasonable antibiotics use was improved since the beginning of PDCA cycle model. The antibiotics using rates of outpatients were 33.00%, 29.09% and 19.31%, of emergent patients were 45.00%, 32.81% and 28.94%, and of inpatients were 71.00%, 57.76% and 53.28% in year 2011 (from June to December), 2012 (from January to December) and 2013 (from January to December) respectively. Meanwhile, ClassⅠ incision antimicrobial use also decreased and bacteria examination rate continuously increased during the last three years. As a consequence, patients' cost was reduced. ConclusionThe PDCA cycle model promotes the standardized management of clinical medication application.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of level management model in the application of nursing for pressure ulcers after spinal surgery. MethodA total of 3 558 patients underwent spinal surgeries between January 2014 and September 2015 were selected. We established a level management model, confirmed the personnel responsibilities, strengthened the pressure ulcers risk assessment of new inpatients, and standardized the processes of reporting pressure sores. We carried out the level management model between January and June 2014, summarized experience and formed a system file between July and December 2014, applied to the clinical work after continuous improvement between January and September 2015. High risk of pressure ulcers reporting rate, incidence of high-risk pressure ulcers, and healing rate of pressure ulcers were compared at the various stages. ResultsThe reporting rate of pressure ulcers raised, the incidence of pressure ulcers increased and the curing rate decreased after continuous improvement (P<0.05). ConclusionsLevel management model may effectively improve the quality of the nursing for spinal pressure ulcers.
ObjectiveTo explore the practical effects of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) management model in the management of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs).MethodsIn 2015, the multi-drug resistant MDT was established, and MDT meetings were held regularly to focus on the problems in the management of MDROs and related measures to prevent and control nosocomial infections of MDROs.ResultsThe detection rate of MDROs from 2014 to 2017 was 9.20% (304/3 303), 7.11% (334/4 699), 8.01% (406/5 072), and 7.81% (354/4 533), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=11.803, P=0.008), in which the detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRABA), carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) changed significantly (χ2=39.022, 17.052, 12.211; P<0.05). From 2014 to 2017, the proportion of multi-drug resistant infections decreased year by year, from 84.54% to 52.82%, and the proportion of multi-drug resistant hospital infections also declined, from 46.05% to 23.16%; the nosocomial infection case-time rate decreased from 0.24% to 0.13% year-on-year; the proportion of multi-drug resistant hospital infections in total hospital infections was 9.07%, 11.17%, 10.47%, and 6.16%, respectively; in the distribution of multi-drug resistant nosocomial infection bacteria, the proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, CRABA, CRE hospital infections accounted for the number of MDROs detected decreased year by year. The use rate of antibiotics decreased from 46.58% in 2014 to 42.93% in 2017, and the rate of pathogens increased from 64.83% in 2014 to 84.59% in 2017.ConclusionThe MDT management mode is effective for the management and control of MDROs, which can reduce the detection rate, infection rate, hospital infection rate, and antibacterial drug use rate, increase the pathogen detection rate, and make the prevention and control of MDROs more scientific and standardized.
ObjectiveTo understand the economic burden of disinfection supply to medical institutions in Yibin City, and explore the feasibility of establishing a regional centralized management model of disinfection supply center in Yibin City.MethodsFrom April to May 2018, 263 medical institutions in the eight counties and two districts of Yibin City were investigated by means of mobile phone application-designed questionnaire, to obtain the information of cost accounting and economic burden of disinfection supply.ResultsThere were 263 medical institutions involved in the survey, in which 61 (23.19%) had set up the central sterile supply department (CSSD), including 43 public hospitals and 18 private hospitals; 202 medical institutions were without CSSD, which were mainly secondary hospitals [195 (74.14%), including 120 public hospitals and 75 private hospitals]. The higher the hospital level was, the larger the average area of the CSSD was; the difference was statistically significant (χ2=40.009, P<0.001). The higher the hospital level was, the more full-time personnel were employed, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=31.862, P<0.001), and the care staff were the majority (66.23%). The cost burden of CSSD was more than 1 million yuan in the tertiary hospitals, which was 100 000 yuan or above in 61.90% of the secondary hospitals, and was below 100 000 yuan in hospitals below secondary level. The higher the hospital level was, the higher the total cost burden became; the difference was statistically significant (χ2=37.995, P<0.001). ConclusionIn view of the heavy economic burden of CSSD in medical institutions and the unbalanced setting up of medical institutions below secondary level, the establishment of a regional CSSD centralized management model is a new direction, new trend, and new model for future development, which is conducive to improving the quality of disinfection and sterilization, reducing medical care costs, making rational use of health resources, effectively preventing hospital infections, and ensuring the medical safety.
ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of the whole-course management model of intermittent catheterization (IC) in patients with neurogenic bladder (NB).MethodsPatients with NB caused by incomplete spinal cord injury admitted to Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of West China Hospital of Sichuan University between May and October 2019 were selected. According to the random number table, the patients were randomly divided into the trial group and the control group. The control group adopted the traditional management mode of IC, and the trial group adopted the whole-course management mode of IC. The urination diary (single catheterization volume, residual urine volume, and times of urine leakage), bacteria count and leukocyte count in urine routine were compared between the two groups.ResultsFinally 80 patients were included, with 40 cases in each group. There was no significant difference in urination diary, bacteria count or leukocyte count in urine routine between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in urination diary in the second week of management (P>0.05). At the 12th week of management, there were statistically significant differences in urination diary between the two groups (P<0.05). The bacteria count and leukocyte count in the second and 12th week of the management in the trial group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe whole-course management of IC for patients with NB caused by incomplete spinal cord injury can effectively improve bladder volume, and reduce residual urine volume and times of urine leakage. It also can reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection, reduce urinary complications, and ultimately improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ECRS management model on the quality of prevention and control of hospital infection with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Methods The data related to the prevention and control of MDROs in the First Hospital of Nanchang in 2020 and 2021 were retrospectively collected. The hospital implemented routine MDRO infection prevention and control management in accordance with the Expert Consensus on the Prevention and Control of Multi-drug Resistant Bacteria Nosocomial Infection in 2020. On this basis, the hospital applied the four principles of the ECRS method to cancel, combine, rearrange and simplify the MDRO infection prevention and control management. The detection rate of MDROs on object surfaces, the incidence rate of hospital infection of MDROs, the compliance rate of hand hygiene, the implementation rate of contact isolation prevention and control measures, and the pass rate of MDRO infection prevention and control education assessment were analyzed and compared between the two years. Results The detection rate of MDROs on the surfaces in 2021 was lower than that in 2020 (9.39% vs. 31.63%). The hospital-acquired MDRO infection rate in 2021 was lower than that in 2020 (1.18% vs. 1.46%). The hand hygiene compliance rates of medical staff, workers and caregivers in 2021 were higher than those in 2020 (90.99% vs. 78.63%, 73.51% vs. 45.96%, 70.96% vs. 33.71%). The implementation rate of contact isolation prevention and control measures in 2021 was higher than that in 2020 (93.31% vs. 70.79%). The qualified rates of MDRO infection prevention and control education in medical personnel, workers and caregivers in 2021 were higher than those in 2020 (96.57% vs. 81.31%, 76.47% vs. 47.95%, 73.17% vs. 34.19%). All the differences above were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion ECRS management mode can improve the execution and prevention level of MDRO hospital infection prevention and control, and reduce the incidence of MDRO hospital infection.
