As an advanced mode of diagnosis and treatment, day surgery is widely carried out in foreign countries. Although it started late in China, it has been gradually valued and vigorously promoted in medical and health field in recent years. The effective implementation of day surgery in hospital cannot be separated from the strong support of performance management system. Through introducing the performance management experiences in promoting day surgery mode in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, this article discusses how to construct an effective whole-course performance management system for day surgery combined with operation management through three mechanisms: the management committee mechanism, the operation management mechanism and the performance assessment mechanism, which are based on the structure-process-outcome dimensions of quality management system, at the three levels of hospital, department and position, so as to provide a reference for developing day surgery in China.
ObjectiveTo analyze the current situation of day surgery patients’ withdrawal from hospitalization, and put forward reasonable and effective measures and suggestions.MethodsDescriptive statistical analysis and trend chi-square test were conducted on the hospitalization withdrawal rate of day surgery in the Day Surgery Ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine from 2012 to 2020. The reasons for hospitalization withdrawal and the operation methods of withdrawn cases from 2019 to 2020 were descriptively analyzed.ResultsFrom 2012 to 2020, the hospitalization withdrawal rate of day surgery decreased from 4.48% to 2.19%, with a significant decrease and a linear downward trend (χ2trend=138.500, P<0.001). From 2019 to 2020, patient factor was the most important reason for hospitalization withdrawal of day surgery, accounting for 79.72%; secondly, long waiting time for surgery, abnormal examination results, inadequate preoperative evaluation, medical insurance reimbursement, epidemic situation in 2020 and other reasons had affected the patients’ hospitalization withdrawal of day surgery to varying degrees. Endoscopic lithotripsy accounted for the largest proportion (210 cases, accounting for 20.87%) in the withdrawn procedures from 2019 to 2020, followed by minimally invasive rotary resection for breast lesions (126 cases, accounting for 12.52%).ConclusionImproving preoperative evaluation, strengthening preoperative communication, implementing efficient medical treatment, and shortening the waiting time for surgery can reduce the rate of hospitalization withdrawal of day surgery.

Objective To design nursing record sheet for day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology and evaluate its effect through clinical application. Methods The nursing record sheet for day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology was designed based on the theory of forms and record control, using the method of process analysis and process reengineering and taking into consideration the characteristics of nursing care during day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology. The adverse event rate in nursing for ophthalmologic surgery and the satisfaction rate of operating room nurses were calculated before and after the application of this record sheet. Results From July to October 2015, the Department of Ophthalmology was involved in 9 cases (7.96%) of adverse events resulting from drawbacks of the nursing record design or mistakes in recording. From November 2015 to February 2016, the Department of Ophthalmology was involved in only 1 case (1.28%) of advense event resulting from defect caused by nuring record sheet; the difference was significant (P < 0.05). From July to October 2015, the satisfaction rate of oph thalmologic nurses before using the nursing record sheet was 54.33%, which was significantly improved to 98.71% from November 2015 to February 2016 after the utilization of the nursing record sheet. Conclusion The nursing record sheet for day surgery in the Department of Ophthalmology has been appropriately designed and is easy to use, which can improve the quality of surgery nursing as well as the satisfaction of operating room nurses.
Day surgery wards have advantages such as the ability to quickly free up beds and possessing necessary medical resources, making them a focal department for the integration of emergency and routine medical care within healthcare institutions. The Day Surgery Nursing Committee of Sichuan Tianfu New Area Medical Association gathered experts from relevant fields, took into account the actual situation and previous practices of integrating emergency and routine medical care in day surgery wards, and developed this expert consensus. It covers the aspects of emergency plans, process mechanisms, spatial preparations, personnel preparations and deployment, material preparations, and information sharing and coordination of the management model of integrating emergency and routine medical care in day surgery wards, so as to provide professional guidance and references for the management model of integrating emergency and routine medical care in day surgery wards, and offer new ideas and methods to maximize patient treatment during emergency situations.
Although day surgery started late in China, its development momentum is strong. Due to the advantages of day surgery, the requirements of new medical reform and the promotion of national policies, thousands of hospitals have tried this innovative operation management mode in the past decade, presenting a picture of blooming flowers in full bloom. However, due to the lack of unified management standards for day surgery in China, there are still many practical problems in China, such as inconsistent definitions, inconsistent connotations and diversified management modes. It is believed that the day surgery will develop healthily and sustainably in China after the relevant management standards are formulated at the national level. Based on the development of day surgery at home and abroad, this paper discusses the expectation and prospect of day surgery in China.
Objective To explore the effect of community-hospital continuous nursing on the satisfaction of day surgery patients in terms of their nursing needs. Methods Sixty patients hospitalized in the day surgery ward in our hospital from April 2014 to March 2015 were enrolled in this study. According to the order of admission, they were divided into control group and observation group with 30 patients in each. Patients in the control group were given health guidance, while those in the observation group were given continuous nursing. Questionnaire survey was conducted in both the two groups. The nursing needs of patients after surgery were summarized, and the satisfaction of patients’ nursing needs through different nursing methods were analyzed. Quality of life questionnaire-C30 was used to evaluate the quality of life of the two groups of patients one month and three months after surgery, and the incidence of postoperative complications of the two groups was statistically analyzed. The changes of daily life ability of patients one month and three months after surgery were evaluated by the modified PAP index. Results Day surgery patients had a high demand for postoperative incision care, dressing change, postoperative medication, dietary guidance, postoperative guidance, health education and other aspects of health care needs. There was little demand for oral pipeline care and physical therapy. The satisfaction rate of patients in the observation group toward n ursing service (96.7%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (66.7%) (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative wound bleeding, poor healing, infection, urinary retention and other complications in the observation group was lower than those in the control group, but only the difference in the incidence of infection was statistically significant (P < 0.05). One month and three months after surgery, the quality of life in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The complete self-care ratio in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the proportion of slight defect in the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Continuous community-hospital nursing can improve the satisfaction of patients toward nursing service, promote patients’ quality of life, and facilitate patients’ recovery after surgery.
The anesthetic work of day surgery should be guided by the standardized perioperative evaluation system. The evaluation methods and standards with strong operability and repeatability are the prerequisites to ensure the safety and efficiency of day surgery. For the assessment of patients’ preoperative physiological status, preoperative preparation and postoperative rehabilitation, standardized work procedures should be established to ensure patients’ medical safety to the greatest extent. Through summarizing the advanced management experience of day surgery anesthesia at home and abroad, and combining with the principled suggestions in The Consensus of Chinese Experts on Anaesthesia for Day Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University has repeatedly revised the perioperative anesthesia evaluation methods in practice, and gradually explored a comprehensive, rigorous and standardized perioperative anesthesia evaluation system. This paper will focus on the evaluation of perioperative anesthesia and postoperative follow-up procedures in day surgery.
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of targeted cryoablation for localized prostate cancer in day surgery.MethodThe clinical data of patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent cryoablation from April 2017 to May 2019 were retrospective analyzed. The patients’ satisfaction, postoperative complications, chronic pain and indwelling catheter term were recorded on the 1st (the next day after operation) and 7th day after the operation of follow-up.ResultsA total of 98 patients were included. All patients underwent the surgeries successfully. The average age of the patients was (73.43±7.86) years old. The average length of postoperative hospital stay was (1.55±0.43) days, including 34 cases (34.69%) discharged within 24 hours after the surgery. The satisfaction rate of patients was 100% on the 1st and 7th day after the operation. Twelve cases (12.24%) removed the catheter at the discharge, 83 cases (84.69%) removed the catheter on the 7th day after the operation. Because of the urinary retention, 3 cases (3.06%) removed the catheter 2 weeks after the operation. All patients were satisfied with urine control after the removal of the catheter. Ten cases (10.20%) had postoperative complications, including 3 of urinary tract infection, 3 of urinary retention, and 4 of perineal edema; the patients recovered after symptomatic treatment. On the day of surgery, 8 cases (8.16%) had slight postoperative pain in perineal (the Visual Analogue Scale scores were all 2). After oral analgesic treatment, the patients’ symptoms were alleviated.ConclusionTargeted cryoablation is a safe and effective method for the treatment of localized prostate cancer with a low incidence of postoperative complications, and it has certain feasibility in day surgery mode.
