Đánh giá kết quả sử dụng hộp chuẩn bị dụng cụ di động trong can thiệp tim mạch tại Bệnh viện Đa khoa Quốc tế Vinmec Times City

Cardiovascular interventions are critical medical procedures demanding high precision and efficiency, with time often being a crucial determinant of patient outcomes, especially in acute conditions like myocardial infarction. Optimizing every stage of these interventions, including instrument preparation, is paramount for enhancing procedural flow and patient safety. Traditional methods often present challenges such as fixed cabinet limitations and time-consuming manual processes. This study addresses these issues by evaluating the effectiveness of mobile instrument preparation boxes in streamlining cardiovascular interventions. It aims to demonstrate how this innovative approach can reduce intervention times and improve operational efficiency at Vinmec Times City International Hospital.

Medical professionals (cardiologists, interventionalists, nurses), hospital administrators, healthcare operations managers, and researchers interested in optimizing surgical workflows and patient safety in interventional cardiology settings.

This retrospective comparative study evaluated the efficacy of using a mobile instrument preparation box for cardiovascular interventions at Vinmec Times City International Hospital, contrasting it with conventional instrument setup methods. The research analyzed intervention times across 140 cases over three distinct periods from Q1/2022 to Q1/2024. The methodology involved comparing average procedure durations between groups utilizing the portable box and those relying on fixed instrument cabinets. Key results indicate a significant reduction in average intervention time by 20 minutes and 0.6 seconds per case when the mobile instrument preparation box was employed. This cumulative saving amounted to approximately 2800 minutes, or 46.7 hours, equivalent to nearly six working days. The study highlights that the mobile box system standardizes the preparation process, minimizes instrument search times, and reduces the risk of shortages or errors during critical procedures. This optimization is particularly beneficial for emergency cases, such as Code STEMI, where timely cardiovascular intervention is crucial. Beyond direct time savings, the implementation of these boxes enhances overall operational efficiency, alleviates staff workload, and contributes to improved patient waiting times and safety by ensuring all necessary items are readily available and properly organized. The findings strongly suggest that this innovative model represents a feasible and highly effective solution for streamlining cardiovascular interventions, offering clear practical benefits and providing a valuable blueprint for other interventional facilities seeking to boost their procedural quality and operational workflow.
