Abstract:
Objective To improve the accuracy of patient' s identification and normalize the checking details for preventing from the error intravenous ( i.v.) infusion.Methods Participants who were eligible for this study from Department of Orthopedics,Nanxishan Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were assigned to control group and observational group by random number method.The control group included 1 410 patients which had 42 026 set intravenous infusion solutions and confirmed identity by the traditional procedure.The observation group included 41 102 set intravenous infusion solutions in 1 303 patients.In observational group,we confirmed patients' identity by speaking out their name and age and looking over the patient' s label on the infusion bottle by their family members along with the traditional procedure.The number of patients and i.v.solutions set regarding borderline errors of identification during venepuncture or replacing infusion bottle were investigated in two groups.Results 1 404 patients in control group were accurately confirmed identity and 6 patients had borderline errors.1 303 patients in observation group were accurately confirmed identity and 0 patients had borderline errors,the difference between the two groups showed statistical significance ( P =0.032).In control group,42 020 set were accurately confirmed identity and 6 set had borderline errors,however,in observation group 41 102 set were accurately confirmed identity and 0 set had borderline errors,the difference between the two groups showed statistical significance ( P =0.031 ).Conclusions Patients participate in double-identity confirmation can effectively prevent from error of i.v.solutions.
