Summary
The Root Cause Analysis-Plan, Do, Check, Act (RCA-PDCA) nursing model effectively reduces intraoperative hypotension during cesarean sections. A machine learning model achieved 90% accuracy in predicting hypotension, enhancing patient safety.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Nursing Science
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Intraoperative hypotension is a serious complication during cesarean sections, often managed with drugs that have side effects.
- The Root Cause Analysis-Plan, Do, Check, Act (RCA-PDCA) model offers a systematic approach to identify and address problem causes.
- This study explores the application of RCA-PDCA in managing hypotension during cesarean delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the RCA-PDCA nursing model in preventing intraoperative hypotension during cesarean sections.
- To develop and assess a machine learning model for predicting intraoperative hypotension in cesarean delivery patients.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of cesarean section patients' data, including vital signs, demographics, and outcomes.
- Screening of statistically significant features influencing hypotension.
- Development and evaluation of five machine learning models for predictive analysis.
Main Results:
- The RCA-PDCA nursing model significantly reduced the incidence of intraoperative hypotension and postoperative complications compared to general nursing.
- The Random Forest (RF) machine learning model demonstrated the highest predictive performance with 90% accuracy in preventing intraoperative hypotension.
- Patient experience, including comfort and satisfaction, improved with the RCA-PDCA model.
Conclusions:
- The RCA-PDCA nursing method is crucial for preventing intraoperative hypotension in cesarean sections.
- The Random Forest model shows significant promise for predicting hypotension, advancing AI in medical analysis.
- This integrated approach enhances maternal and fetal safety during cesarean delivery.
