Application of Visual Management in the Management of Precision Instruments in Thoracic Surgery
Objective:To study and analyze the effect of visual management in the management of precision instruments in thoracic surgery.Methods:Select 80 thoracic surgical precision instruments that were not visually managed in our hospital from January to December 2021 as the control group,and implement management according to the hospital's conventional precision instrument management process;100 precision thoracic surgical instruments that were visually managed in our hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the experimental group.The precision thoracic surgical instruments were classified and standardized for use in combination with hospital management processes and visual management methods.A comparative analysis was conducted on the defect situation,qualified packaging,errors in use and retrieval,instrument classification,recycling,and satisfaction with use of the two groups of precision instruments.Results:Compared with those of the experimental group,the error rate of equipment access and equipment loss rate of the control group were much higher,and the qualified rate of packaging was significantly lower,and the differences between the two were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse device conditions in the control group was higher than that in the experimental group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The time consumption of precision instruments classification and recovery for the control group were longer than that of the experiment group(P<0.05).Medical staff's satisfaction rate of precision instruments application(instrument preparation,effect of use and nurses'cooperation)in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of visual management in the management of precision instruments in thoracic surgery can effectively improve the management level of precision instruments in thoracic surgery,and also promote medical staff's satisfaction with the use of precision instruments.
