Abstract:

Objective To Construct a full-process management plan for oxygenators in patients undergoing ex-tracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) therapy,so as to provide a reference for clinical nursing.Methods The literature analysis method was adopted to construct a preliminary full-process management plan for oxygenators in ECMO patients. From November to December 2024,the Delphi method was used to conduct 2 rounds of correspondence consultation with 15 experts,and the final full-process management plan for oxygenators in ECMO patients was formed.Results The effective response rate of the expert consultation questionnaires in both rounds was 100%. The authority coefficients were 0.87 and 0.917 respectively. For the two rounds of expert consultation,the coefficient of variation for the importance of each item was 0-0.422 and 0-0.148,while the coefficient of variation for the feasibility of each item was 0-0.235 and 0-0.133 respectively. The Kendall’s concordance coefficient for importance was 0.178(χ2=101.102,P<0.001) and 0.212(χ2=158.536,P<0.001) in the two rounds,and the Kendall’s concordance coefficient for feasibility was 0.212(χ2=94.538,P<0.001) and 0.268(χ2=106.214,P<0.001) respectively. Eventually,a full-process management plan for oxygenators in ECMO patients,which included 6 dimensions and a total of 35 items,was formulated.Conclusion The full-process oxygenator management protocol for ECMO patients demonstrates high scientific rigor,reliability,and feasibility,serving as a valuable reference for clinical practitioners in optimizing ECMO oxygenator management.
