Design and application of a multifunctional visual fixation device for CRRT/ECMO blood circuit tubing
[Objective]To explore the application effect of a multifunctional visual fixation device for continuous renal replacement therapy/extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation(CRRT/ECMO)blood circuit tubes in the treatment process.[Methods]A total of 156 patients who underwent continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)and/or extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation(ECMO)from January to May 2024 were divided into a control group and an observation group,with 78 cases in each group.The control group was treated with elastic bandages and adhesive tape to fix the extracorporeal circulation tubing.In contrast,the observation group was treated with a multifunctional visual fixation device to fix the bloodline tubing.Then the number of cases of displacement of indwelling catheters,patient comfort,and doctor-patient satisfaction between the two groups were compared.[Results]The incidence of twisting or displacement of the indwelling catheter,oozing at the place of placement,and contamination of auxiliary materials requiring replacement in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the satisfaction level of the observation group and the satisfaction level of the nurses was higher than that of the control group.[Conclusion]Multi-functional visual fixation device for CRRT/ECMO blood line tube can improve the effect of tube fixation,effectively reduce the incidence of accidents in the process of patient treatment,and improve patient comfort and nurse-patient satisfaction,which is worthy of popularization and application in the clinic.
