Analysis and countermeasures of various alarm in hemodialysis / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore how to reduce and quickly deal with all kinds of alarm in the dialysis process, to ensure the safety of dialysis, improve the coping ability of nurses, improve the quality of nursing and the satisfaction of patients. Methods Various kinds of alarm and nurse processing time in hemopurification center of our hospital from 2013 to 2014 were recorded and analyzed, the emergency treatment measures were found out, the coping methods were developed, the coping process were improved, and the training of nurses was strengthened. The various parameters were rerecorded and compared after training (2015 to 2016). Results The most common alarm in dialysis process was venous pressure alarm, accounting for 16.45%(15925/96831) of the total alarm, the lowest limit was 10.34%(10020/96831), and the highest limit was 6.11%(5905/96831). The total conductivity alarm was 10.33%(9969/968310), the nurse' s alarm processing time of the lowest limit was (53.11 ± 12.84) s, the highest limit was (136.77 ± 42.88 ) s, the conductivity alarm was (54.17 ± 33.55) s. After the training of nurses, the alarm frequency was reduced (χ2=3.164, P<0.05), the venous pressure alarm accounts for 14.69% (15415/104913) of the total alarm , the lowest limit was 9.52% (9985/104913),and the highest limit was 5.18%(5430/104913), the total conductivity alarm was 7.54%(7913/104913). The alarm processing time was shortened:the lowest limit was (40.94 ± 10.38) s, the highest limit was (119.15 ± 38.79) s (t=3.944, 3.304, P<0.05). The work efficiency and patient satisfaction degree were improved. Conclusions Through the summary and training of all kinds of alarm in the dialysis process, it can effectively reduce the alarm frequency of the dialysis process, improve the work efficiency of nurses, and improve the satisfaction degree of patients.
