The " no-accompany" service is an important measure to meet the patients′ needs for comprehensive, continuous, and high-quality diversified care and to enhance their medical experience. Starting in March 2024, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine launched a pilot " no-accompany" service in the breast surgery and dermatology wards. The hospital established a working team led by the nursing department and involving multiple administrative departments such as the medical affairs department, medical insurance office, and logistics management department. And the hospital has successfully advanced the implementation of the " no-accompany" ward program by establishing a multi-department collaborative management mechanism, standardizing the management of medical caregivers, developing a tiered fee scheme for the " no-accompany" service, and improving relevant service measures. The acceptance of the " no-accompany" service by patients increased from (3.93±0.83) in the second quarter of 2024 to (4.69±0.59) in the fourth quarter, and overall satisfaction rose from (4.18±0.73) to (4.50±0.54) (all P<0.001). The job competency of medical caregivers also improved significantly from (64.80±3.49) before starting work in March 2024 to (94.00±2.40) in the fourth quarter ( P<0.001). These findings provide a reference for the implementation of " no-accompany" services in public hospitals.

Objective To investigate the current status and barriers to implementing non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province,and to provide a basis for the improvement of standardized management of such services.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was conducted from September to October 2024 among all secondary and tertiary medical institutions in Zhejiang Province to assess the implementation status and barriers to non-accompanied care services.Results A total of 397 questionnaires were distributed,with 389 valid responses,yielding a valid response rate of 97.98％.Non-accompanied care services were implemented in 118 institutions(30.33％).Among these,90 institutions(76.27％)had established management systems for non-accompanied wards;71 institutions(60.17％)had a medical nursing assistant-to-bed ratio lower than 1∶5;41 institu-tions(34.75％)provided tiered training for medical nursing assistants;93 institutions(78.81％)required patients to bear the full cost of the service.Compared with secondary medical institutions,tertiary medical institutions have more complete management system for non-accompanied care services.The main obstacles hindering the development of non-accompanied care services include an imperfect management system for non-accompanied wards,a shortage of medical nursing assistants,a lack of standardized training for such assistants,inconsistent charging standards,and low acceptance among patients and their families.Conclusion The promotion of non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province has achieved initial success.However,challenges persist,including incomplete management systems,uneven development across hospital tiers,and imperfect charging mechanisms.It is recommended that relevant authorities strengthen policy support,enhance standardized training for healthcare nursing assistants,refine cost-sharing mechanisms,and improve the quality and sustainability of non-accompanied care services through multi-party collaboration.

Objective This study aims to develop an early in-hospital temperature management protocol for heat stroke patients and assess its effectiveness,providing guidance for rapid cooling and precise target temperature control.Methods The protocol was developed through a Delphi expert consultation combined with expert panel meetings.A multi-center,non-randomized,historical control study was conducted,utilizing convenience sampling to select heat stroke patients from the emergency departments of 7 tertiary hospitals in Zhejiang Province,China,between June and August 2024 as an experimental group.The protocol was implemented in this group,while the control group consisted of heat stroke patients treated between June and August 2022,prior to protocol implementation.Cooling rates,target temperature attainment rates,and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.Results The final protocol included 6 primary indicators,23 secondary indicators,and 56 tertiary indicators.After protocol implementation,the experimental group achieved a cooling rate of 0.08(0.05～0.09)℃/min within 0.5 hours,significantly higher than the control group,which had a rate of 0.04(0.02～0.06)℃/min(P＜0.001).The target temperature attainment rates at 0.5 hours and 2.0 hours were 55.93％and 98.31％,respectively,significantly higher than the rates of 15.87％and 61.11％in the control group(P＜0.001).The mechanical ventilation rate,hospitalization rate,ICU admission rate,and mortality rate in the experimental group were 25.42％,61.02％,44.07％,and 8.47％,respectively.Logistic regression analysis revealed that the early in-hospital temperature management protocol significantly reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization in heat stroke patients,with odds ratios(ORs)of 0.294 and 0.300,respectively(both P＜0.05).Conclusion The developed protocol for early in-hospital temperature management in heat stroke patients is scientific,systematic,and practical.It improves cooling rates and target temperature attainment,thereby enhancing the prognosis of heat stroke patients.

Objective To construct and implement a swallowing disorder assessment and management program for tracheal intubated patients after extubation based on the 4R crisis management theory,providing standardized and scientific interventions for oral feeding.Methods Utilizing the expert meeting method with the 4R crisis management theory framework,a swallowing disorder assessment and management program was developed for post-extubation tracheal intubated patients.A convenience sampling method was employed to select patients with tracheal intubations treated from July to December 2023 in the emergency ICU,central ICU,and cardiovascular surgery ICU of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province.The patients treated from October to December were assigned to an experimental group(n=68),while those treated from July to September were designated as a control group(n=58).The experimental group received the 4R crisis management-based intervention,whereas the control group received standard ICU assessment and management.Outcomes indicators included the incidence of post-extubation swallowing disorders,time to first oral intake,incidence of aspiration during initial feeding,nasogastric and nasointestinal tube placement duration,incidence of aspiration pneumonia during hospitalization,re-intubation rates,ICU readmission rates,ICU stay duration,and total hospitalization days.Results Of the initially recruited subjects,68 in the experimental group and 54 in the control group were included in the final analysis.After the intervention,the experimental group exhibited significantly lower rates of post-extubation swallowing disorders,shorter time to first liquid oral intake,aspiration incidence during first feeding,shorter durations of nasogastric and nasointestinal tube placement,aspiration pneumonia,ICU readmission compared to the control group(P＜0.05).No significant differences were observed between the groups in time to first regular oral intake,re-intubation rates(P＞0.05).Conclusion The risk management program for dysphagia following tracheal extubation based on the 4R crisis management theory is scientifically robust and safe,offering a valuable reference for clinical assessments and management of swallowing and eating post-extubation in tracheal intubated patients.
