Effectiveness of applying FAST HUGS BID in ICU patients with mechanical ventilation

Abstract:

Objective：To explore the effectiveness of applying FAST HUGS BID in ICU patients with mechanical ventilation. Methods：Endotracheal intubation patients with successful planned extubation were divided into control group and experimental group according to the time of entering unit. Intensive care routine was used in control group while FAST HUGS BID concept was introduced in ex－perimental group. Unplanned extubation rate and average indwelling time between the two groups were compared. Results：Unplanned extubation rate was 1.73% and the average indwelling time was （7.59±6.06） d in control group，while unplanned extubation rate was 0.93% and the average indwelling time was （5.04±4.03） d in experiment group. Conclusion：FAST HUGS BID concept is scientific and effective，reducing unplanned extubation rate，significantly shortening the average indwelling time and improving the quality of critical care.
