Abstract
The management of surgical instruments is related to the safety and efficiency of surgical operations, and a surgical instruments information management system (SIIMS) has been developed. The aim of the current study is to explore the application value of the SIIMS in sports medicine specialty. A set of self-developed SIIMS for sports medicine surgeries was applied to the study. The application value of the SIIMS was verified by comparing the safety and efficiency of instrument manipulation before and after its application, with instrument accidents, instrument repair rate, instrument scrap rate and instrument use efficiency as indicators. Through the application of the SIIMS, the incidence of surgical instrument accidents decreased from 3.7 times to 1.8 times (P = 0.02), the number of instrument repair decreased from 7.7 times to 2.9 times (P = 0.00), and the number of scrapped instruments decreased from 5.1 to 2.3 (P = 0.03), when referred to per thousand operations. Before and after the application of the SIIMS, the average instrument use efficiency was 74.0% ± 3.3% and 88.2% ± 4.4%, respectively, with statistically significant difference (P = 0.00). The application of the SIIMS in sports medicine specialty is helpful to the fine management of surgical instruments, improve surgical safety and instrument use efficiency.
