Abstract:
Objective:To formulate the maintenance and management process of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) equipment for adults and explore its implementation effect, in order to provide reference for clinical nursing.Methods:A historical control study design was used. A total of 60 patients who received ECMO treatment at the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, were selected by convenience sampling method as the research subjects. Among them, 30 patients from January to December 2022 were the control group, and 30 patients from 1 to 12 of 2023 were the observation group. The control group received ECMO treatment using routine methods, while the observation group received ECMO treatment according to the maintenance and management process for adult ECMO equipment. The charging time of the ECMO battery, the completeness of the ECMO equipment, the occurrence rate of ECMO equipment failure, the cleanliness rate of the ECMO equipment surface, and the pre-filling time of the ECMO pipeline were compared between the two groups.Results:The control group included 19 males and 11 females, with an age of (51.34 ± 6.85) years. The observation group comprised 21 males and 9 females, with an age of (50.97 ± 5.39) years. In the observation group, the compliance rate of the ECMO battery standby time was observed to be 100.00% (30/30), while the completeness rate of the equipment ready for use was 96.67% (29/30), and the qualification rate of surface cleanliness of ECMO equipment was 93.33% (28/30), all were superior to 76.67% (23/30), 73.33% (22/30), and 63.33% (19/30) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.82, 4.71, 7.95, all P<0.05). The incidence rate of ECMO equipment failure in the observation group was 3.33% (1/30), a rate lower than the control group′s 16.67% (5/30), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 83.18, P<0.001). The pre-filling time of ECMO circuit in the observation group was (9.56 ± 2.20) min, which was less than the control group′s (13.30 ± 2.76) min, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.79, P<0.001). Conclusions:The formulation and implementation of the process help to improve the standardized operation of ECMO in medical care, so that the ECMO equipment and instruments can be well maintained.
