摘要
背景:全球新生儿死亡率将无法实现到2030年每100例活产死亡12人的第三个可持续发展目标。然而,医疗设备可以在提高新生儿护理质量方面发挥关键作用,有助于进一步降低死亡率。方法:本研究的重点是量化在赞比亚重点医院的新生儿注射泵的可用性。在7家不同的医院对新生儿重症监护病房(NICUs)的注射泵进行了清查。结果:8例新生儿重症监护病房中仅有3例有注射泵。13个注射泵中只有1个是在铜带地区发现的,尽管有5家医院设在那里。利文斯通大学教学医院(Livingstone University Teaching Hospital)的注射器泵床比最大,为0.17。结论:在赞比亚,与北部的铜带地区相比,卢萨卡和南部地区用于新生儿护理的注射泵的可得性不成比例。
A multisite inventory study of neonatal syringe pumps in Zambia.
Background: The global neonatal mortality rate is due to miss the third Sustainable Development Goal of 12 deaths per 100 live births by 2030. However, medical devices can play a crucial role in improving the quality of care given to neonates, helping to reduce the rate further.
Methods: This study focuses on quantifying the availability of syringe pumps to newborns at key hospital locations in Zambia. Inventories of syringe pumps on neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) were conducted at 7 different hospitals.
Results: Syringe pumps were only available on 3 of the 8 NICUs. Only 1 of the 13 syringe pumps were found in the Copperbelt region, despite 5 of the hospitals being located there. The largest syringe pump-to-bed ratio was 0.17 at Livingstone University Teaching Hospital.
Conclusions: In Zambia, there is a disproportionate availability of syringe pumps, for neonatal care, in the Lusaka and Southern regions compared to the Copperbelt region in the north.
