Effects of operating room nursing intervention on wound infection in patients undergoing ovarian cysts surgery: A meta-analysis.

We conducted this study aimed to explore the effect of operating room nursing intervention on wound infection in patients undergoing ovarian cysts surgery. A computer system was used to search PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, from database inception to October 2023, for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the application of operating room nursing intervention to ovarian cyst surgery. Literature that met the requirements was independently screened by two researchers, and data were extracted and assessed for literature quality. RevMan 5.4 software was applied for data analysis. Fifteen RCTs involving 1187 patients were finally included. The analyses revealed that, compared with routine nursing, the implementation of operating room nursing intervention had a significant advantage in reducing the incidence of wound infections (1.17% vs. 5.44%, odds ratio [OR]: 0.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.15-0.58, p = 0.0004) and postoperative complications (6.34% vs. 25.17%, OR: 0.20, 95%CI: 0.13-0.29, p < 0.00001), as well as being able to shorten the operative time (standardised mean difference [SMD]: -3.93, 95%CI: -5.67 to -2.20, p < 0.00001), hospital length of stay (SMD: -2.54, 95%CI: -3.19 to -1.89, p < 0.00001) and gastrointestinal recovery time (SMD: -1.61, 95%CI: -2.24 to -0.98, p < 0.00001) in patients undergoing ovarian cysts surgery. This study confirmed by meta-analysis that the operating room nursing intervention can significantly reduce the incidence of wound infection and complications, shorten the operative time, gastrointestinal recovery time, and hospital length of stay after ovarian cyst surgery.

Efficacy of the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol in operating room nursing of patients following single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery: A retrospective study.

This study assessed the efficacy of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in operating room nursing care for patients who underwent single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery. The study included 82 surgical lung cancer cases. The patients underwent single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery between April 1, 2021, and June 31, 2022. Of the 82 patients, 42 received nursing care under the ERAS protocol (experimental group) and 40 had routine nursing care (control group) in the operation room. Based on the 2 different nursing care approaches, the postoperative functional recovery efficacy, quality of life, postoperative complications, and psychological status were compared between the 2 groups. In our analysis, the mean anal venting time, average early out-of-bed time, the average time to liquid resumption, atelectasis, and pulmonary infection rate were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P < .05). The Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores were also significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P < .05). Other indicators were not significantly different between the 2 groups. Our results show that the implementation of an ERAS protocol in operating room nursing care is feasible and should be clinically applied. The ERAS protocol may enhance the recovery of patients who underwent single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery.

The effect of operating room nursing intervention on the psychological status and incidence of emergence agitation in the recovery period of general anesthesia: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: During the recovery period of general anesthesia, patients are disturbed by residual anesthetic drugs, manifesting as clinical signs of confusion, drowsiness and disorientation, and even abnormal psychology and limb agitation at varying degrees in severe cases. These stress reactions are detrimental to the postoperative recovery, which can be life-threatening. Operating room nursing intervention (ORNI) is a novel nursing model that prevents stress reactions during the recovery period of general anesthesia. However, whether ORNI can improve the psychological condition and reduce the incidence of emergence agitation in the recovery period of general anesthesia remains controversial. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of ORNI on the psychological status and incidence of emergence agitation in the recovery period of general anesthesia through a systematic review and meta-analysis, thus providing clinical evidence to support it. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials reporting the effect of ORNI on the recovery period of general anesthesia published before October 2021 will be searched in the Chinese Scientific Journal Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Wanfang, China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Eligible literatures will be screened out according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and their quality will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. Meta-analysis will be performed using Revman 5.4 software. RESULTS: This study will evaluate the effect of the ORNI on the recovery period of general anesthesia by calculating the incidence of emergence agitation, and grading the self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores.

Healthcare systems internationally are working under increasing demand to use finite resources with greater efficiency. The drive for efficiency utilises process improvement methodologies such as Lean Six Sigma. This study outlines a pilot Lean Six Sigma intervention designed to release nursing time to care within a peri-operative environment; this was achieved by collaborating with stakeholders to redesign the process for laparoscopic hernia surgical case preparation (set up) material. Across 128 laparoscopic hernia surgical cases, the pilot resulted in a 55% decrease in overall nursing time spent in gathering and preparing materials for laparoscopic hernia surgical cases, with a corresponding reduction in packaging waste. The major impact of releasing nursing time to care within busy Operating Room environments enabled nurses to focus on continuing to deliver high-quality care to their patients and reduce pressure expressed by the Operating Room nurses. The results have led to an ongoing review of other surgical procedures preparation to further release nursing time and will be of interest to perioperative teams internationally.

Formato de registro clínico de Enfermería para mejorar la seguridad en el paciente quirúrgico / Nursing clinical record format to improve safety in surgical patients

La atención quirúrgica es una parte integral de la atención médica en todo el mundo y aunque puede prevenir la pérdida de la vida o de una extremidad, también se asocia con un riesgo considerable de complicaciones y muerte. Estudios previos coinciden en afirmar que hasta el 50% de la incidencia de complicaciones o eventos adversos en pacientes quirúrgicos pueden ser evitables si se implementan medidas preventivas eficaces. De esta manera surge la Lista de verificación de cirugía segura propuesta por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y otras listas de verificación específicas que formalizan y coordinan las responsabilidades individuales y compartidas dentro de un equipo durante el proceso quirúrgico. En el presente trabajo se evaluó la reestructuración de los formatos de registro, favoreciendo el análisis crítico de la información, potenciando la capacidad creativa del profesional de Enfermería y cumpliendo con la normativa vigente para prevenir eventos adversos relacionados con los procedimientos quirúrgicos en una institución de tercer nivel. El formato de registro clínico de Enfermería se diseñó atendiendo a las recomendaciones de un panel de expertos en la temática. El registro se realizó en los periodos pre, intra y post-operatorio, favoreciendo el análisis crítico de la información y brindando la posibilidad de monitorizar todo el proceso quirúrgico. La presente propuesta de mejora permitió reconocer situaciones de riesgo evitables, planificar acciones de mejora y formativas, facilitando la comunicación dentro del equipo de atención y fomentando el desarrollo del profesional de Enfermería.(AU)

Surgical care is a comprehensive part of medical care throughout the world, and even though it can prevent the loss of a limb and even life, it is also associated with a significant risk of complications and death. Previous studies coincide in stating that up to 50% of the incidence of complications or adverse events in surgical patients can be avoidable by the implementation of effective preventive measures. This led to the Surgical Safety Checklist published by the World Health Organization (WHO), and other specific checklists that formalize and coordinate individual and shared responsibilities within a team during the surgical process. The present article evaluates the reorganization of record formats, encouraging the critical analysis of information, promoting the creative ability of Nursing professionals, and complying with current legislation in order to prevent adverse events associated with surgical procedures in a tertiary institution. The nursing clinical record was designed considering the recommendations of a panel of experts in the matter. The record was conducted before, during and after surgery, encouraging the critical analysis of the information and offering the possibility to monitor the entire surgical process. This proposal for improvements allowed to identify avoidable risk situations, and to plan improvement and training actions, thus promoting communication within the care team and promoting the development of Nursing professionals.(AU)

Effect assessment of the application value of evidence-based nursing intervention in operating room nursing: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: The advantages of evidence-based nursing (EBN) intervention in health care settings have been widely disseminated to nurses throughout the world. More researches are reporting the effectiveness of EBN intervention in operating room nursing. However, the results are inconsistent. This study focuses on conducting a meta-analysis and systematic evaluation aimed at determining the usefulness of EBN intervention in operating room nursing. METHODS: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis for Protocols criteria were used to write this paper. We will look for relevant studies from 2 Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang database and also from 3 English databases such as Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE), to locate all relevant randomized controlled trials and observational studies assessing the application value of EBN intervention in operating room nursing from their commencement to June 2021. Separately, 2 authors will choose the studies, do the data extract and conduct the assessment probing into the likelihood of bias. If there is a disagreement, it will be resolved by the third author. RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 15.0 software will be used to conduct the meta-analysis. RESULTS: The usefulness of EBN intervention in operating room nursing will be assessed in this study. CONCLUSION: The purpose of this research is to conclude the value of EBN intervention in operating room nursing and the quality of current data. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Since there is no requirement for data on the individual patient, hence there will be no need for ethical approval. OSF NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/MSXNF.
