Abstract:
Objective:To reduce the occurrence of false alarm of vital signs during the use of ECG monitor by using stress ring to fix the lead wire of ECG monitor. Methods 200 patients who used ECG monitor in our department from March 2018 to February 2019 were intervened by two methods. The control group ( n=100) was connected and observed by routine method. The experimental group ( n=100) was added with lead wire to form "stress loop" on the basis of this method. Methods:The connection and fixation of ECG monitors were carried out. The differences of vital signs, heart rate/rhythm and respiratory false alarm between the two groups during ECG monitoring were compared, and the changes of nurses' workload, Hamilton anxiety score and satisfaction were compared.Results:There were significant differences in heart rate/rhythm and respiratory false alarm between the two groups ( P < 0.05). The scores of anxiety, nurses' workload and satisfaction in the experimental group were significantly improved. Conclusion:During the application of ECG monitor, the lead wire coiled into "stress ring" can effectively reduce the ECG monitor vital signs monitoring center rate/rhythm, respiratory false alarm phenomenon, reduce the workload of nurses, improve the satisfaction of nurses, and reduce anxiety of patients.
