Implementing ‘6S’ Nursing Management in Sterilization and Supply Centers: Enhancing Surgical Instrument Quality and Work Efficiency by Fang L, Xiao K, Zhu H, Zhang M

“…The management quality (environmental management, packaging management, cleaning and sterilization, and instrument management), mastery of professional knowledge (theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge, and nursing skill knowledge), incidence of surgical instrument processing errors, quality of work (grooming, problem-solving, sense of responsibility, sense of initiative, and team communication), and work pass rate before and after 6S management were compared.Results: After 6S management, the management quality scores were higher, the mastery of professional knowledge of personnel was raised, the quality of work was promoted, the overall incidence of errors in surgical instrument processing was reduced to 1%, and the qualification rates for cleaning, sterilization, and issuance were all increased to 100%, with significant differences compared to before the implementation of management measures (all P < 0.05).Conclusion: The application of “ 6S” nursing management in the sterilization and supply center is an effective approach to addressing the current challenges of enhancing sterilization quality and management efficiency, significantly improving the quality of surgical instruments and work efficiency.Keywords: sterilization and supply center, “ 6S” nursing management, quality of work, surgical instruments, quality of surgical instrument management…”

Non-Orthogonal Signal Transmission Over Nonlinear Optical Channels by Tongyang Xu, Tianhua Xu, Polina Bayvel, Izzat Darwazeh

“…Our research demonstrated the benefits of the use of sphere decoding in SEFDM and also demonstrates the performance improvement of long-haul optical communication systems using SEFDM compared to the use of conventional OFDM, when fiber nonlinearities are considered. Different modulation formats ranging from 4QAM to 32QAM are studied and it is shown that, for the same spectral efficiency and information rate, SEFDM signals allow a significant increase in the transmission distance compared to conventional OFDM signals.…”
