Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the effects of quick checklist on unplanned extubation prevention for restricted patients. Methods By searching for the literature regarding the causes of unplanned extubation,and combining expert consultation,we developed a quick checklist for restricted patients. The incidence of unplanned extubation of patients with physical restraint before and after the checklist application was compared. Besides,nurses used a quick checklist to find out a series of risks and shortcomings of patient restraint. Results After the checklist application,the incidence of unplanned extubation of restricted patients decreased from 5.63%(36/639) to 0.72%(2/278),and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=4.315,P<0.05). Conclusion The quick checklist can help nurses quickly identify risks and limitations,reduce the incidence of unplanned extubation,improve pipeline safety,and improve the quality of care.
