Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the find, organize, clarify, understand, select-plan, do, check, act (FOCUS-PDCA) procedure on reducing the incidence of complications at the puncture site.
Methods: Patients who underwent the transradial interventional therapy (TRI) were divided into control (N.=160) and FOCUS-PDCA (N.=158) groups. The postoperative complications at the puncture site was observed in the two groups, and the pain, bleeding, swelling and comfort of the two groups were compared and analyzed.
Results: Two hours after surgery, the number of pain-free patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (62.1% vs. 44.4%, P=0.014). The degree of swelling at 6 and 2 hours after TRI in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (-0.08±0.23 vs. -0.00±0.17, P=0.001). No early radial artery occlusion was found in either group. The postoperative comfort score in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (101.94±9.99 vs. 91.14±14.50, P<0.001).
Conclusions: The FOCUS-PDCA approach may reduce the incidence of early pain and long-term swelling after TRI, improve patient comfort, and enhance the quality of specialist care. The results suggested that FOCUS-PDCA had the value of popularization and application.
