Abstract:
The paper described the practice of contingency nursing management for ICU wards in case of power breakdown in the hospital The SICU wards have developed their power failure contingency plan in which the nurses on duty are divided into Group A,B and C according to their positions and qualifications.Respectively,they take charge of patient safety,coordination and command,and medical aid.We also established the procedure of emergency response for these duties.Training and examination familiarize the medical personnel with the procedure and their duties.Four practices proved that the implementation of the plan reduces risks exposure and improves the satisfaction.With the contingency plan,the nurses in ICU can now take care of critical incidents and avoid nursing risks in ICU efficiently.
