There are limited data in the pediatric population regarding the incidence of, risk factors for, and means to prevent perioperative hypothermia. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement Model for quality improvement (QI) methodology was used to bundle the most effective techniques to prevent hypothermia. A multidisciplinary QI team was assembled with the goal to decrease the incidence of perioperative hypothermia by 50%. The baseline incidence of hypothermia was determined and causes identified using a flowchart and a cause-and-effect diagram. Pareto charts were formed and opportunities to decrease the incidence of perioperative hypothermia were trialed. The baseline incidence of hypothermia was 8.9%. Implementation of a standardized temperature management bundle in the operating rooms decreased the incidence to 4.2%. The QI methodology was useful to bundle the most effective techniques to prevent hypothermia, resulting in standardized perioperative care and a sustained reduction in the incidence of perioperative hypothermia.
关于儿科人群围手术期体温过低的发生率、风险因素及预防方法的数据有限。医疗改进研究所的质量改进(QI)方法模型被用于整合预防体温过低的最有效技术。组建了一个多学科QI团队,目标是将围手术期体温过低的发生率降低50%。使用流程图和因果图确定体温过低的基线发生率并找出原因。绘制帕累托图,并对降低围手术期体温过低发生率的机会进行试验。体温过低的基线发生率为8.9%。在手术室实施标准化体温管理方案后,发生率降至4.2%。QI方法有助于整合预防体温过低的最有效技术,从而实现标准化的围手术期护理,并持续降低围手术期体温过低的发生率。
