Abstract:
Objective:To establish a set of reasonable,reliable and easy-to-operate evaluation index system for the clinical application of ventilators,so as to carry out all-round clinical evaluation for application of ventilators.Methods:A research group on the evaluation index system for the clinical application of ventilators was formed by 5 clinical engineers,who came from the Department of Medical Engineering of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine,to form a primary evaluation index system for the clinical application of ventilators through literature review and internal discussion,and invited 14 experts from different provinces and cities engaged in respiratory therapy or ventilator maintenance management,after two rounds of online discussion and optimization,the importance scores of each evaluation index were obtained by the Delphi method,and the relative importance of each evaluation index was calculated by analytic hierarchy process.An evaluation index system for the clinical application of ventilators was established from three dimensions:technical performance,clinical effect and after-sales service.The ventilators of brand A and brand B used in the hospital during the same period were selected,and the clinical application of the two different brands of ventilators was compared and evaluated by using the evaluation index system.Results:The constructed evaluation index system for clinical application of ventilator included 3 first-level indicators(technical performance,clinical effect and after-sale service),and 8 second-level indicators and 35 third-level indicators.The combined weight of indicators showed that the ratio of importance of"technical performance"of the first-level indicators accounted for more than half,and the relatively important indicators in the second-level indicators were successively design for safety,static performance,reliability,service quality and applicability.The comprehensive average score of ventilator A was 4.468 points,and that of ventilator B was 4.117 points.The overall performance of ventilator A was better than that of ventilator B in the evaluation of this round,which was consistent with the actually clinical application of the two ventilators.Conclusion:The evaluation index system for clinical application of ventilator can conduct comprehensive evaluation for the effect of clinical application of various kinds of ventilators,and clarify the advantages and disadvantages of various kinds of ventilators,and provide reference basis for medical institutions in selecting ventilator's brands,and for manufacturers in improving product's performance.
