Abstract: Objective To evaluate transport efficiency and safety by process management during the handover of patients with tracheal intubation post-operation. Methods Prospective studies were performed between patients with or without process management during the handover. The time of handover were recorded and compared. The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial oxygen saturation were also recorded and compared. The adverse events during the handover were also investigated. Results It costed less time in the handover of patients under process management with significant difference[(4.75±0.54) min vs. (7.05±0.88) min, t=-17.21, P<0.01]. The incidence rate of harmful cases in the handover of patients under process management was significantly declined than that without process management[ 1.67%(1/60) vs. 13.33%(8/60),Χ2=4.324 3,P<0.05 ]. Conclusions Process management may facilitate the handover of patients with tracheal intubation post-operation and improve its safety.
