Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of quality control circle(QCC)activities on reducing the incidence of non-failure alarms of heated humidifiers in the intensive care unit(ICU).Methods Firstly,a QC circle team was formed,and the activity theme of reducing the incidence of non-faulty alarms of heated humidifiers in the ICU was selected to inves-tigate the current status of the use of heated humidifiers in the ICU during the period of December 1-15,2021,and to set improvement goals.Secondly,pareto charts and fishbone diagrams were drawn to analyze the causes for the occurrence of non-faulty alarms.Finally,the countermeasures were formulated and implemented according to the PDCA principle.The inciden-ces of non-faulty alarms of heated humidifiers and the comprehensive capabilities of the circle members were compared before and after the implementation of the QC circle activities.Results After the implementation of the QCC activities,the incidence of non-failure alarms of heated humidifiers decreased from 48.57％to 8.23％,the target achievement rate was 119.7％,the progress rate was 83.06％,and the comprehensive capabilities of circle members were improved obviously.Conclusion The QCC activities effectively reduces the incidence of non-failure alarms of heated humidifiers in the ICU,and thus is worthy promoting for standardizing medical equipment management.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(6):87-92]
