Abstract:
Objective To understand the management status of emergency and life support medical equipment in town-ship health centers in Huazhou City,providing a reference for improving emergency service levels in grassroots medical institu-tions.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey of physicians,nurses,medical technicians,public health personnel,and administrative and logistical staff in 24 township health centers in Huazhou City.The survey focused on seven aspects:procurement and configuration,upgrades,operational use,maintenance,emergency handling,management systems,and quality assessment and monitoring.Results Training on emergency and life support equipment was generally adequate in Huazhou City(65.2％).Health centers in northern and central Huazhou performed better than those in the urban and southern areas regarding equipment training,emergency handling procedures for equipment failures,regular emergency drills,meeting clinical treatment needs,management system completeness,routine maintenance and inspections,and regular quality assessments.Factor analysis revealed significant issues with equipment aging and quality in urban township health cen-ters,while northern township health centers urgently needed life-sustaining and therapeutic equipment.Conclusion There are regional disparities in the management levels of emergency and life support medical equipment in township health centers in Hua-zhou City.It is recommended to enhance the overall quality of personnel in township health centers,optimize"effective training"for staff,and improve annual management plans to further elevate grassroots emergency service capabilities.
