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.

Objective To retrospectively compared the hospitalization days and hospitalization costs of patients with thyroid tumor and breast cancer between patients who accepted selective hospitalization management and patients who accepted routine hospital management, and analyze the effect of selective hospitalization management to shorten the average hospitalization days.Methods A total of 419 patients with thyroid tumor and 318 patients with breast cancer who were treated in Fujian Provincial Hospital from March 2013 to February 2016 were chosen as the study object, and they were divided into the control group and the study group according to whether accepting the selective hospitalization management. Evaluating indicators included the total hospitalization days, preoperative hospitalization days, postoperative hospitalization days and hospitalization costs.Results Compared with the control group, the average total hospitalization days [(6.56±2.94)d vs (8.09± 3.71)d,(12.44±3.91)d vs (14.73±6.66)d)] and preoperative hospitalization days[(2.42±1.94)d vs (4.17± 2.68)d,(2.98±1.70) vs (5.29±4.00)d] in the study group were all reduced (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the postoperative hospitalization days and the average hospitalization costs between two groups ( P > 0. 05 ) . Conclusions Selective hospitalization management could effectively shorten the hospitalization days of patients undergoing selective operation, and increase beds turnover rate. So the new management method would produce good social and economic benefits for the hospital.
