Abstract

Background & problems: FloTrac is used to monitor hemodynamics in patients. Insufficient awareness of and inexperience with this machine put patients at risk.

Purpose: A project was developed to increase FloTrac cognitive accuracy from 57.6% to 85% and skill accuracy from 73.3% to 91% in ICU nurses. Also, FloTrac installation time was intended to be reduced to less than 8 minutes and 38 seconds.

Resolution: Create a pithy, easy-to-remember formula; make operation teaching videos, operation manuals, and reminder cards; arrange educational training; and monitor quality regularly.

Results: FloTrac cognitive accuracy increased from 57.6% to 90.4%; FloTrac skill accuracy increased from 73.3% to 99.7%; and installation time was shortened from 8 minutes and 38 seconds to 5 minutes and 42 seconds.

Conclusions: After implementation of the project, nurses improved their professional knowledge and were better able to help doctors obtain hemodynamic data efficiently to provide patients with accurate and rapid treatment.

[提高重症监护室护士FloTrac认知和技能准确性的项目]。

背景与问题：FloTrac用于监测患者的血流动力学。对这台机器的认识不足和缺乏经验使患者处于危险之中。目的：制定了一个项目，将ICU护士的FloTrac认知准确率从57.6%提高到85%，技能准确率从73.3%提高到91%。此外，FloTrac的安装时间旨在减少到8分38秒以下。解决方案：创建一个简洁易记的公式；制作操作教学视频、操作手册、提醒卡；安排教育培训；并定期监测质量。结果：FloTrac认知准确率由57.6%提高到90.4%；FloTrac技能准确率从73.3%提高到99.7%；安装时间从8分38秒缩短到5分42秒。结论：该项目实施后，护士提高了专业知识，能够更好地帮助医生有效地获取血液动力学数据，为患者提供准确、快速的治疗。
