KAN BASINCI ÖLÇÜM ALETLERİMİZ NE KADAR DOĞRU ÖLÇÜYOR: KURUMSAL SÜREKLİ BAKIM PROGRAMI

Year 2006, Volume: 7 Issue: 3, 19 - 23, 01.12.2006

Abstract

Amaç:Sfigmomanometre fizik muayenenin önemli bir parçasıdır ve kan basıncı kontrolünün temel taşlarındanbirisidir. Sfigmomanometrelerin doğru ölçüm yapabilmesi için kalibrasyonlarının ve bakımlarının yapılmasıgerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, Adnan Menderes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde kullanımda olansfigmomanometrelerin değerlendirmesini yapmak ve aletlerin düzenli aralıklarla kontrolünü sağlayabilmek içinbir program oluşturabilmek mevcut sorunları saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem:Çalışma kapsamına üniversitemiz hastanesinde kullanımda olan 64 adet sfigmomanometrealınmıştır. Sfigmomanometrelere fiziksel açıdan görsel değerlendirme ve standart civalı manometre ile dörtdeğişik basınç düzeyinde olmak üzere işlevsel değerlendirme yapılmıştır.Sonuç:Kontrol edilen 64 sfigmomanometreden 30 tanesi iki veya daha fazla test basıncı düzeyinde ±3mmHg'dan daha fazla farklılık göstermesi nedeniyle kusurlu olarak kabul edilmiştir. Ayrıca kontrol edilensfigmomanometrelerde en sık rastlanılan görsel kusurlar gösterge iğnesinin manometrede basınç yok iken 0mmHg'yı göstermemesi, manşon iç lastiği kusurları ve basınç kontrol valvine ait kusurlar olarak saptanmıştır.Tartışma:Üniversitemiz hastanesinde kullanılan sfigmomanometrelere ait düzenli bir bakım ve kontrolprogramı bulunmamaktadır. Hatalı kan basıncı ölçüm risklerini en aza indirmek için manometrelerin düzenliaralıklarla doğruluklarının kontrol edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu amaçla sfigmomanometrelerin 6 ay aralıklarlakontrolünün yapılabilmesi için hazırlamış olduğumuz form sunulmuştur

How Accurate Are Our Sphygmomanometers : A Continuous Assessment Program

Year 2006, Volume: 7 Issue: 3, 19 - 23, 01.12.2006

Abstract

Aim: The sphygmomanometer is an essential piece of diagnostic equipment and cornerstone of blood pressure management. Its accuracy depends on correct maintenance and calibration. This study was designed to control sphygmomanometers in use in Adnan Menderes University Medical Faculty. Researchers also aimed to establish a regular maintenance program for sphygmomanometers. Method: We compared the accuracy of 64 sphygmomanometers for physical defects and checked their accuracy againist a standard mecury manometer at four different pressure points.All devices were in current clinical use. Results: 30 of the 64 sphygmomanometers were determined to be intolerant (deviation from the mercury manometer by greater than ± 3mmHg at two or more of the test points). The most common physical defects were indicator needles not pointing to the “zero box”, defective bladder and defective pressure control valve. Conclusions: There was no regular preventive maintenance program in Adnan Menderes University Medical Faculty to minimize the risk of erroneous blood pressure recording, aneroid devices should be regulary checked for accuracy. Also, we present an evaluation form for calibration of sphygmomanometers in every 6 months.
