Abstract:Objective To investigate the current status of hospital ventilator management, and analyze the difference of ventilator
management status among different tiered hospitals. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the status of
ventilator management in 286 hospitals with different ranks in China. Results There were 33.57% and 38.11% of the hospitals that
had centralized or partially centralized ventilators. A ventilator preventive maintenance program was developed in 41.61% of hospitals
(Tertiary hospitals were higher than secondary hospitals), and the specialists were arranged to operate the ventilators in 56.99%
of the hospitals. The proportion of Grade-A Tertiary Hospitals whose respiratory therapists participate in the performance testing
and routine maintenance of the ventilator was 44.05%, higher than other grade hospitals. Conclusion It is urgent for hospitals to
strengthen the formulation and implementation of the ventilator preventive maintenance program, to train and introduce professional
respiratory the rapists team and medical engineer team, so as to improve the operation and management level of hospital ventilators.
