Abstract: Objective To discuss the effect of quality control circle activity in emergency transfusion waiting time of severe postpartum hemorrhage patients during obstetric surgery. Methods First, emergency transfusion waiting time of postpartum hemorrhage patients (amount of bleeding≥1 000 mL) from January 2018 to March 2019 was reviewed. Then, according to the ten steps of quality control circle activities, the links of emergency transfusion during obstetric surgery were improved. At last, the difference of the emergency transfusion waiting time of severe postpartum hemorrhage patients and the satisfaction of emergency transfusion in operating room between before the operation of quality control circle activity and after it was compared. Results The emergency transfusion waiting time of severe postpartum hemorrhage patients was 53±11 minutes and the satisfaction of operating staff with emergency transfusion was 70% before the quality control circle activity;The emergency transfusion waiting time of severe postpartum hemorrhage patients is 33±8 minutes（t=7.5,P<0.05） and the satisfaction of operating staff with emergency transfusion is 95% after the quality control circle activity. Conclusion The improvement of the link of emergency transfusion during obstetric surgery can reduce emergency transfusion waiting time of severe postpartum hemorrhage patients and improve the satisfaction of operating staff with emergency transfusion.
