Abstract:
Objective? To analyze the application effect of logistics robot in the distribution management of consumables and materials in Operating Room and to explore its application value. Methods? From December 1st to 11th in 2018, the intraoperative distribution of consumables and materials in Operating Room of Sun Yat-sen Unviersity Cancer Hospital was divided into the robot distribution group (logistic robot was used in distribution) and manual distribution group(manual power was used in distribution) based on rooms. The service time, number of service of the logistic robots and manual delivery were recorded and the incidence of logistic robots' collision was counted. Every delivery time, the error rate of the delivered goods, number and time of operation suspension for waiting for the goods in both of the two groups were counted separately and the differences between the two groups in delivery time, delivery error rate, number of times and time of operation suspension for goods waiting were compared, and the satisfaction of medical staff to the distribution of the two groups were compared. Results? Robot distribution group delivered 1 295 trips in total, with an average of 3.8 rooms per trip, and no collisions happened. In the robot distribution group, time required for each delivery(72.62±7.8) s, the error rate of delivery(0.13%), number of waiting during operation(93 times) and waiting time during operation (25.58±3.8)s were all lower than those in the manual distribution group [(160.50±20.2)s, 0.76%, 157 times, (43.75±6.8)s], with statistically significant differences(P＜ 0.01). The satisfaction of medical staff in the robot distribution group was higher than that in the manual distribution group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.103,P=0.029). Conclusions? The application of logistic robots to distribute consumables and materials in the Operating Room can partly reduce the workload of the scout nurses, reduce the waiting time in the operation, achieve swiftness and accuracy, realize intelligent management of high-value consumables, and improve the working efficiency and management quality in the Operation Room.
