Objective:To assess the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) regional treatment pattern in patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted. Patients with severe cardiopulmonary disease who were transferred to Henan Provincial People's Hospital after ECMO treatment in cooperative hospitals were selected. The patients who received regular ECMO treatment from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled as the control group, and the patients who received ECMO regional treatment from June 2018 to May 2019 were selected as the observation group. The ECMO regional treatment pattern referred to implement a referral program for critical patients in primary hospitals, which mainly included the establishment of ECMO regional cooperative treatment network and ECMO referral team, the formulation of ECMO referral management standards, and the promotion of the merging of high-quality medical resources. Time of establishment of ECMO, ECMO regional treatment satisfaction, and the incidence of adverse events were also compared.Results:There were 27 patients enrolled in the control group and 64 patients in the observation group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index (BMI), ECMO mode, hypertension or coronary heart disease history between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the time for establishment of ECMO in the observation group was significantly shorter (minutes: 38.10±17.19 vs. 54.67±41.30, t = 2.715, P = 0.008), the ECMO treatment satisfaction of the observation group was also significantly higher than that of the control group (98.4% vs. 88.9%, χ 2 = 4.120, P = 0.042), and the incidence of ECMO referral adverse events was significantly lower than that of the control group (6.25% vs. 25.93%, χ 2 = 6.918, P = 0.009). Conclusion:The ECMO regional collaborative pattern in patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases can shorten the time for establishment of ECMO, improve the satisfaction of ECMO treatment, and reduce the incidence of adverse events in ECMO referral.

Objective:To accurately and effectively identify the most critical needs of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment for patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases, and to better carry out continuous improvement of medical service quality an patients' satisfaction.Methods:Patients who underwent ECMO and transferred from 56 medical institutions in the Henan Provincial People's Hospital Critical Care Medicine Specialist Alliance [the patients who were transported before applying quality function deployment (QFD) from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled as the control group, and patients who were transported after applying QFD from June 2018 to May 2019 were the observation group], medical staff in the alliance hospitals, ECMO transfer teams and transfer driver teams were enrolled as the subjects of the survey. QFD was applied to convert the collected requirements into quality improvement elements for targeted improvement measures.Results:A total of 125 questionnaires were distributed in this survey, and 116 valid questionnaires were collected, including 91 from patients (including 27 from the control group and 64 from the observation group), 10 from the medical staff of the alliance hospitals, 10 from the ECMO transport teams and 5 from the transport driver teams. The questionnaire recovery rate was 92.8%. The improvement elements of ECMO treatment for patients with critical cardiopulmonary diseases were ranked according to the importance, and the top five were as follows: the accuracy of the first diagnosis, the specialization of ECMO team, the guarantee of vehicle safety, the seamless responses, and the smooth coordinated rescue protocol.Conclusion:The top five improvement elements should be prioritized in ECMO treatment of patients with critical cardiopulmonary disease in all hospitals of the Alliance to ensure more accurate and timely treatment.

The reflective ability of nursing staff has been paid more and more attention, nurses' reflection can promote professional competence development, which also can improve clinical practice ability, knowledge expansion ability and innovation ability. Therefore this article reviews the current situation on nurses
