Effect of the infusion management system on the nursing risk factors in ICU

Abstract

Objective To explore the application of the infusion management system in ICU and its effect on the major nursing risk factors .Methods One hundred and five patients with top ten diseases in ICU from March 2013 to December 2013 were chosen and were randomly divided into the control group （ n=50 ） and the observation group （ n =55 ） .The control group received the management of liquid therapy through the monomer infusion pump , and the observation group received the management of liquid therapy through B .Braun infusion therapy system .The average time of liquid therapy , the rate of unplanned extubation , the error rate of vasoactive drugs and the nurses ’ satisfaction of two groups were observed .Results The average time of liquid therapy, the rate of unplanned extubation , the error rate of vasoactive drugs and the nurses ’ satisfaction were respectively （65.3 ±21.4）h, 7.3%, 7.3%, 92.7%in the observation group, and were better than （99.4 ± 27.8）h, 16.0%, 14.0%, 56.0% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant （t/χ2 =2.63, 7.25, 5.38, 8.68, respectively;P〈0.05）.Conclusions Application of B.Braun infusion therapy system in ICU can reduce the workload of nurses , and decrease the rate of unplanned extubation and the error rate of vasoactive drugs in patients , and increase the nurses ’ satisfaction.
