Abstract：Objective Using the plan-do-check-action(PDCA) cycle theory to reduce the rate of unintended secondary intubation during resuscitation and improve the quality and safety of anesthesia.Methods A total of 73664 patients undergoing tracheal intubation in second affiliate hospital of Zhejiang university post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) from Jan.2014 to Dec.2015 were seleted.We analyzed 17 patients who underwent unintended secondary intubation and provided the prompt examination and summary to formulate a standardized protocol to guide clinical extubation.Results Compared with 2014, the rate of unintended secondary intubation was reduced from 0.04% to 0.01% and the quality and safety of anesthesia improved in 2015.Conclusion PDCA cycle theory can effectively reduce the rate of unintended secondary intubation during resuscitation.
