Production And Application Of A Portable Anti-Loss Safety Medicine Box

The production and application of a portable anti-loss safety medicine box are explored to address high loss rate of anesthetic drugs in hospitals. This study aimed to develop and evaluate efficacy of portable anti-loss safety medicine box for anesthetic drugs in hospital settings. Between June 2021 and May 2023, the study included 262 patients needing anesthesia and 56 medical staff, allocated into control (n=159) and observation (n=103) groups. The box has secure vial slots, safety alarms and locks, was tested against conventional methods of storage for three months. Analysis was done using chi-square test and t-test to determine differences in quality of management, loss of drugs and efficiency. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 26.0. Results showed significant improvement of observation group in drug dispensing time, drug management and handover efficiency (P<0.05). After intervention, observation group showed better scores in issuing prescriptions, pharmacy and ward check, drug use, storage and vial recovery (P<0.05). No significant difference was seen in medication safety (P>0.05), drug loss rate was significantly lower in observation group (P<0.05). Portable anti-loss safety drug box enhances anesthetic drug management efficacy and safety without influencing patient care, with potential for broader hospital application compared to conventional storage.

Abstract

The production and application of a portable anti-loss safety medicine box are explored to address high loss rate of anesthetic drugs in hospitals. This study aimed to develop and evaluate efficacy of portable anti-loss safety medicine box for anesthetic drugs in hospital settings. Between June 2021 and May 2023, the study included 262 patients needing anesthesia and 56 medical staff, allocated into control (n=159) and observation (n=103) groups. The box has secure vial slots, safety alarms and locks, was tested against conventional methods of storage for three months. Analysis was done using chi-square test and t-test to determine differences in quality of management, loss of drugs and efficiency. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software version 26.0. Results showed significant improvement of observation group in drug dispensing time, drug management and handover efficiency (P<0.05). After intervention, observation group showed better scores in issuing prescriptions, pharmacy and ward check, drug use, storage and vial recovery (P<0.05). No significant difference was seen in medication safety (P>0.05), drug loss rate was significantly lower in observation group (P<0.05). Portable anti-loss safety drug box enhances anesthetic drug management efficacy and safety without influencing patient care, with potential for broader hospital application compared to conventional storage.
