| description | Ling-Yu Ma,1 Rong-Fang Shan,1 Yong Lu,1 Lu-Yi Cong,1 Hai-Yan Gu2 1Department of Operating Room, Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University, Nantong, 226001, People’s Republic of China; 2Department of Nursing, Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University, Nantong, 226001, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Hai-Yan Gu, Department of Nursing, Affiliated Hospital 2 of Nantong University, No. 666 Shengli Road, Chongchuan District, Nantong, 226001, People’s Republic of China, Tel +86 13862938568, Email guhaiyan_ghy01@126.comPurpose: The aim of this study is to examine the characteristics of intraoperative nursing near-miss events in interventional operating rooms, systematically identify and analyze associated risks, and propose effective mitigation strategies.Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using a specially designed survey focused on nursing near-miss events in Interventional operating rooms. Records of intraoperative near-miss events voluntarily reported by medical and nursing staff between January 2023 and March 2024 were analyzed. Grey relational analysis was used to evaluate and identify the associated risk factors.Results: A total of 81 near-miss events were reported, with the majority (50%) occurring after 8 PM. These events were categorized into 6 main types: medication errors (60.49%), issues with consumables (16.05%), tubing-related incidents (8.64%), specimen handling errors (7.4%), transfer handover issues (4.93%), and patient transport problems (2.46%). Grey relational analysis identified air embolism formation during pressurized fluid administration as the highest risk event (ξ 1 = 0.369). The risk factors were ranked as follows: weak coordination ability and lack of responsibility among nurses > operational interruptions > inadequate professional capability > poor communication between medical staff and nurses > equipment malfunction > frequent emergency surgeries and a fast paced working environment.Conclusion: Medication administration errors are frequently encountered, with air embolisms during pressurized fluid infusion representing the most significant risk. Operational interruptions are major contributors to these errors, often influenced by the coordination skills and professional competencies of nurses. Clinically, it is crucial to enhance the identification and management of near-miss events to reduce the incidence of adverse outcomes during surgical procedures.Keywords: grey relational analysis, interventional surgery, near-miss, prevention and rectification, risk factors |
