Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle (QCC) management on the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing shoulder joint surgery. Methods Patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopic surgery at Xuzhou Central Hospital from May to October 2022 were selected as the research subjects. A total of 118 patients who underwent surgery before May 2022 were selected as the pre-implementation group of QCC management, and 118 patients who underwent surgery from May to September 2022 were selected as the post-implementation group. A QCC team was established to analyze the causes of hypothermia of the pre-implementation group of patients. By setting target values based on the circle's ability, the main causes of perioperative hypothermia as incomplete evaluation, unheated liquids, improper use of insulation equipment, and wet surgical sheets were identified. A series of targeted innovative insulation strategies (including two patents for inventing limb thermal sheath and body restraint belt) were developed and implement them in the post-implementation group of patients,and after confirming the effectiveness,these insulation strategies were standardized. Results Through the implementation of QCC management, the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery had decreased from 50.9% before implementation to 19.5%, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=25.442, P＜0.01). The incidence of shivering during patient resuscitation decreased, the recovery time significantly shortened, and the incidence of various postoperative complications decreased, with a significant difference (P＜0.01). Conclusion QCC management can effectively reduce the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery, reduce postoperative complications, and promote nursing work through the operating room platform, playing a promoting role in the quality management of specialized and sub-specialized ursing.
