Application of failure mode and effect analysis in nursing care of children with tracheal foreign body removal

Abstract

Objective To identify the potential risks in the process of nursing care for children with tracheal foreign body removal and improve the skills and the process, to promote the quality of nursing care and the success rate of tracheal foreign body removal. Methods The failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) were used to analyze the potential risks in children with tracheal foreign body removal, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care, and to find out the possible risks in each medical treatment. For pediatric venous puncture technology was not skilled, surgical position placement inappropriate (especially in the case of foreign body removal surgery posture), surgical instruments and equipment management, intraoperative nursing cooperation and observation of the disease, postoperative transfer and other aspects of the transfer of training and improvement. Results The medical risk value (RPN) in the treatment of pediatric tracheal foreign body removal in the process of nursing in the control group was reduced from 1 284.2 to 213.2 of the experimental group. The average value of doctors' satisfaction was increased from 79.33% in the control group to 93.33% in the experimental group,P < 0.05, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions The use of FMEA in the treatment of pediatric tracheal foreign body removal surgery care and medical risk management improve the quality of surgical care and help improve the success rate of tracheal foreign body removal. It also ensures the safety of the children in the operation process and improves the quality of nursing work.
