Purposes: The purpose of this study is to shorten the time spent on pre-catheterization preparation and to lighten the nursing burden through multidisciplinary collaboration and integration. Methods: Before intervention, it took an average of 85 minutes and 10 seconds to prepare for cardiac catheterization (surveyed by questionnaire). To reduce the time spent, we adjusted our preparation protocol, including detailing the inform consent in the outpatient clinic and in the catheterization laboratory by visiting the staff, notifying the transport team and laboratory in advance, using education leaflets or models and modifying the nursing check-list. Results: The spent time in preparation was reduced from 85 minutes and 10 seconds to 49 minutes and 26 seconds (goal: less than 56 minutes and 24 seconds). 35 minutes and 44 seconds had been saved prior to the catheterization procedure. Conclusions: In this study, we integrated and simplified the procedure and emphasized multidisciplinary collaboration when preparing for cardiac catheterization. After these adjustments, the preparation and waiting times were greatly shortened. Furthermore, patients had a better understanding of the procedure before entering the catheterization laboratory. |
