Abstract

Probing into the Quality Control Circle (QCC) activities in improving the delayed cord clamp rate (DCC) of newborns undergoing vaginal delivery. By setting up QCC team, to investigate and diagnose the problems of DCC rate of newborns undergoing vaginal delivery in our hospital in 2017, therefore, to draw up our new target and the responding measurement. After that, we analyze and discuss the data, and finally filter the valid data. Finally, we compare the two sets of situations and data. According to the investigation of DCC rate undergoing vaginal delivery and the relative Maternal-and-Infant outcome in August to November in 2017, after setting up QCC activities, it shows the DCC rate of newborns undergoing vaginal delivery has an significant increased, from 35.1% to 82.3%, duration of the Third Stage of Labor, hospitalization rate of Neonatal intensive Care Nursing (NICU), Apgar score, incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, asphyxia neonatorum and hyperbilirubinemia has no statistical sence (P>0.05). The Quality Control Circle (QCC) activities can effectively improve the delayed cord clamp rate (DCC) of newborns undergoing vaginal delivery, without affecting the incidence of undesirable Maternal-and-Infant outcome. And the quality control circle activities can be fed back and improved through the PDCA cycle to make it more scientific and practical.
