ObjectiveTo explore the application of PDCA (plan, do, check, action) circulation method in basic life support (BLS) technique training among non-medical personnel in hospitals. MethodsIn a third-level grade-A hospital, BLS technique training was carried out for 66 non-medical personnel of various working categories between July and September 2011. During the training process, PDCA circulation method was applied to each step. The existing problems were searched and causes of the problems were found. Improving strategies were made and carried out, and finally, the effect of training was statistically analyzed. ResultsAfter the application of PDCA circulation method, the test scores in the three training stages were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) . ConclusionPDCA circulation method can help non-medical personnel to master the operation process and the technique points of BLS quickly, and it also can improve the quality of BLS technique training for non-medical personnel in hospitals.

In order to prevent the virus from invading and infecting, it is very important and urgent for medical personnel to protect themselves. However, in the process of using protective equipment by medical personnel, the performance of device related pressure injuries (DRPI) caused by pain, numbness, redness, and even breakage caused by the equipment has seriously endangered the health of medical personnel. This article, based on Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries: Quick Reference Guide 2019, references, and clinical experiences of wound specialists in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, summarize the preventive and protective measures of West China Hospital for medical personnel to prevent DRPI, so as to provide clinical preventive measurements for medical personnel.
