Abstract

Aim

This study was designed to improve the "Cable Fixing Tool", which is effective in providing and maintaining patient and employee safety in the operating room, and to evaluate its effectiveness.

Material and method

The production stages of the "Cable Fixing Tool" were carried out first in this mixed-methods experimental study. The study was performed with 120 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the operating room of Van Regional Training and Research Hospital between June 2021 and November 2021, and with 60 healthcare professionals constituting the surgical team, of which 8 were physicians, 41 nurses and 11 caregivers.

Results

The total injury rate due to cables and connections was 23.4% in the pre-test conducted with the control group to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Cable Fixing Tool", and 3.3% in the experimental group using the "Cable Fixing Tool". The obtained data indicate that the “Cable Fixing Tool” is effective and provides safety.

Conclusion

It is believed that in units with a high number of technical equipment like operating rooms, the widespread use of auxiliary products such as "Cable Fixing Tool", which can ensure cable safety, is necessary in reducing and preventing unwanted incidents caused by cables and connections such as tripping, falling and injuries.

“电缆固定工具”在确保和维护手术室患者和员工安全方面的有效性评估

目的本研究旨在改进“电缆固定工具”，并评估其有效性，该工具可有效地在手术室提供和维护患者和员工的安全。材料与方法本实验首先对“电缆固定工具”的生产阶段进行了混合方法的实验研究。该研究对2021年6月至2021年11月期间在Van Regional Training and Research Hospital手术室接受腹腔镜胆囊切除术的120名患者以及组成手术团队的60名医护人员进行了研究，其中8名是医生、41名护士和11名护理人员。结果对照组为评价“电缆固定工具”的有效性而进行的预测试中，电缆和连接的总损伤率为23.4%，实验组为3.3%。所获得的数据表明，“电缆固定工具”是有效的，并提供了安全性。结论在手术室等技术设备较多的单位，广泛使用可确保电缆安全的“电缆固定工具”等辅助产品，对于减少和预防电缆和连接件引发的跳闸、坠落和受伤等意外事件是必要的。

期刊介绍： The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
