Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of applying continuous quality improvement methods on preventing the phenomenon of pseudo-poor electrocardiogram (ECG) procedures by nurses in the emergency care unit. Methods: The study was conducted in Shangluo Central Hospital Shaanxi from August 2020 to August 2021, and 200 emergency patients who received ECG during this period were selected for the comparative study, and grouped into two groups: the control group was given routine management, while the experimental group was managed by continuous quality improvement. The two groups were compared in terms of pseudo-differences in ECG procedures. Results: The patients in the experimental group had a higher rate of qualified ECG readings and procedures, and a lower rate of pseudo-errors and nursing disputes, all of which were significantly different from the control group (P < 0.05), which is significant, and the experimental group had a better effect. Conclusion: When ECG examination is carried out in the emergency care unit, the application of continuous quality improvement management methods is conducive to improving the quality of ECG examination, reducing the incidence of pseudo-discrepancy, and providing a reliable reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
