Utilizing failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) in operating room nursing provides valuable insights for the care of patients undergoing radical gastric cancer surgery.
To evaluate the impact of FMEA on the risk of adverse events and nursing-care quality in patients undergoing radical surgery.
Among 230 patients receiving radical cancer surgery between May 2019 and May 2024, 115 were assigned to a control group that received standard intraoperative thermoregulation, while the observation group benefited from FMEA-modeled operating room care. Clinical indicators, stress responses, postoperative gastroin
Significant differences were observed in bed and hospital stay durations between the groups (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss or postoperative body temperature (P > 0.05). Stress scores improved in both groups post-nursing (P < 0.05), with the observation group showing lower stress scores than the control group (P < 0.05). Gastrointestinal function recovery and nursing quality scores also differed significantly (P < 0.05). Additionally, the incidence of adverse events such as stress injuries and surgical infections varied notably between the groups (P < 0.05).
Incorporating FMEA into operating room nursing significantly enhances patient care by improving safety, expediting recovery, and reducing healthcare-associated risks.
Core Tip: Reasonable and effective nursing interventions can markedly enhance the quality of care for surgical patients, reduce the risk of adverse events, and improve anesthesia recovery, postoperative gastrointestinal function, and overall postoperative outcomes. These interventions are particularly beneficial in alleviating traumatic stress responses in patients undergoing radical gastric cancer surgery.
