ObjectiveTo explore the effect of precise management on life-saving equipment management in Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU). MethodsWe actualized precise management in the life-saving equipment management process in March 2014, including precise management control system, precise personnel training, and precise process management. ResultsAfter precise management, the knowledgement of life-saving equipment of the nurses increased from 90.2% (May, 2014) to 98.5%. The number of equipments repaired before (March-May, 2014) and after the management (June-August, 2014) was 65 and 47, respectively; the number of nonstandard management times in nurses after the equipments were used was 98 and 10, respectively. ConclusionPrecise management can drastically improve management efficiency, serviceability rate and service efficiency of life-saving equipment, obviously enhancing the degree of familiarity and using skills of clinical nurses, and ensuring quick and smooth emergency work. It plays an active role in securing severe patients' life.
