Objective: To explore the effect of the Integrated Management Model of Doctor-Nurse-Pharmacist Collaboration on the Safety of Intravenous Therapy in Critically Ill Patients.
Methods: 1587 patients who were hospitalized in the Intensive Care Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University in China from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected. 768 patients before the implementation of the integrated medical, nursing, and drug management model were selected as the control group, and 819 patients who implemented the integrated medical, nursing, and drug management model were selected as the observation group.
Results: Compared with the control group, the incidence of drug compatibility contraindications in the observation group decreased from 3.5% to 1.5% (χ2=6.957 P=0.008), the central venous catheter (CVC) blockage rate decreased from 2.5% to 1.0% (χ2=5.249 P=0.022), the daily incidence of catheter related bloodstream infections decreased from (1.84 ± 2.17) to (0.91 ± 1.19)(t=6.988 P=0.015), and the incidence of peripheral venous treatment related complications decreased from 10.3% to 2.9% (χ2=16.663 P=0.000). Among them, the incidence of phlebitis decreased from 5% to 1.6% (χ2=4.817 P=0.028). The incidence of drug exudation decreased from 3.4% to 0.8% (χ 2=0.031 P=0.019). The incidence of extravasation has decreased from 2.5% to 0.4% (χ2=0.044 P=0.027). The differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: The Integrated Management Model of Doctor-Nurse-Pharmacist Collaboration significantly reduced the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), drug incompatibility, and other intravenous therapy-related complications, thereby enhancing the safety of intravenous therapy in critically ill patients.
