ObjectiveTo explore the best practice and normalization of arterial blood collection by comparing performance of BD preset syringe with regular syringes in arterial blood collection in standardized nursing process. MethodsThe nurses were trained to use BD preset syringe and regular syringes to collect arterial blood sample.Five hundred subjects were randomly divided into the preset syringe group and the regular syringes group,250 subjects in each.Agglutination of blood samples was observed.Time spent in every step of collections was recorded for 23 subjects in each group to calculate workflow efficiency.A questionnaire was used for nurses participated in arterial blood collection for their evaluation of both types of syringes. Results The incidence of micro-clot formation in the preset syringe group was 2 cases,lower than 15 cases in the regular syringes group,the preset syringe group also showed higher workflow efficiency as well as safe and easy-to-use characters.The difference between two groups was statistically significant. ConclusionsUsing BD preset syringe in nursing process management has lower incidence of micro-clot formation,higher workflow efficiency,safe and easy-to-use character.It should be promoted in clinical practice.
