Abstract：Objective To optimize the peripheral infusion and assess the application effect in a simulated aeromedical evacuation environment.Methods Targeting the flight swaying environment,we adjusted the needle in-sertion and extraction timing,suitable patient position,fixed method,and tube sealing timing during peripheral infu-sion. The convenience sampling method was adopted to select 10 experienced nurses from the emergency detachment of the PLA General Hospital. A swaying platform was used to simulate the aeromedical evacuation environment. In this cross-control study,each subject conducted peripheral infusion before and after the adjustment at a 2-week inter-val. The success rate,operation score and time,as well as the difficulty degree and comfort level of the operation,were assessed and compared. Results Under the condition of swaying platform,compared with the initial peripheral infusion,the infusion procedure was optimized with much less operation time (281.3 s vs. 227.6 s,P<0.05) and increased operation score (68.5 vs. 92.7,P<0.05) after adjudgment,while the success rate,difficulty degree and comfort level showed no significant difference (all P>0.05). Conclusion The optimized peripheral infusion tech-nique can effectively improve the efficiency and safety during aeromedical evacuation.
