实施员工教育显著减少了在重症监护病房中不必要使用间歇性气压 (IPC) 装置. 这一举措减少了废物,温室气体排放和成本,证明了可持续医疗保健实践的成功方法.
科学领域:
- 医疗保健的可持续性 医疗保健的可持续性
- 医疗器械使用情况 医疗器械使用情况
- 环境影响评估环境影响评估
背景情况:
- 澳大利亚的医疗保健旨在减少碳排放,低价值医疗保健的贡献很大.
- 重症监护室 (ICU) 使用化学和机械预防来降低静脉血栓塞栓症 (VTE) 的风险.
- 定期使用间歇性气压压缩 (IPC) 作为化学预防的辅助,没有提供额外的VTE风险降低.
研究的目的:
- 评估教育干预对ICU一次性IPC设备使用的影响.
- 为了量化IPC设备的碳足迹.
- 为了确定废物,温室气体排放和与IPC使用相关的成本的变化.
主要方法:
- 在III级ICU中进行了前后试点研究.
- 一项审计评估了IPC在3个月的教育前和教育后的适当使用.
- 一个教育包指导IPC的处方和使用.
主要成果:
- 不必要的IPC使用在教育后从56.9%降至9.7%.
- 一对IPC设备的碳含量为432.2g CO2e.
- 减少不必要的IPC使用导致每年节省7682.40美元,14.9千克废物和51.8千克二氧化碳.
结论:
- 员工教育有效地减少了IPC设备的使用和不适当的应用.
- 干预措施减少了相关的温室气体排放.
- 通过优化IPC设备利用,财务成本也得到了降低.
