The purpose of this study was to introduce nurse-delivered intravitreal injections to increase medical retina treatment capacity.
Indemnity, clinical governance, training, planning, and implementation issues were addressed. The outcome measures were patient safety, patient experience, and clinic capacity.
No serious vision-threatening complications were recorded in a consecutive series of 4000 nurse-delivered intravitreal injections. A Mann-Whitney test showed a significant increase in intravitreal injections (P=0.003) in the medical retina service after introduction of nurse-delivered intravitreal injections. The majority of patients accepted and were satisfied with a nurse-delivered intravitreal injection.
Nurse-delivered intravitreal injections appear safe, acceptable to patients, and are an effective means to increase intravitreal injection capacity in medical retina clinics.
本研究旨在引入由护士进行的玻璃体内注射,以提高医学视网膜疾病的治疗能力。
探讨了赔偿、临床管理、培训、规划及实施等问题。结果指标包括患者安全性、患者体验及诊所治疗能力。
在连续4000例由护士进行的玻璃体内注射中,未记录到严重的视力威胁性并发症。曼-惠特尼检验显示,引入由护士进行的玻璃体内注射后,医学视网膜服务中的玻璃体内注射量显著增加(P = 0.003)。大多数患者接受并满意由护士进行的玻璃体内注射。
由护士进行的玻璃体内注射似乎是安全的,患者可以接受,并且是提高医学视网膜诊所玻璃体内注射能力的有效手段。
