Abstract:This paper discussed the implementation of the position of professional equipment
management in the intensive care unit (ICU). A professional nurse with special training who occupied the
position would be responsible for jobs such as the maintenance and quality control of the apparatuses,
training and assessment of equipment utilization, and bedside usage evaluation. The position ensured
the integration and standardization of equipment management. Compared to the malfunction rate and
maintenance rate six months before the the implementation of the management position, the malfunction
rate decreased by 16.3% whereas the maintenance rate decreased by 28.9%. The percentage of intact
apparatus maintenance increased from 83.8% to 97.8%, whereas the rate of incidence of adverse events
decreased by 18.4%. The professional equipment management position increased the rate of effective
utilization and the rate of intact apparatus in the intensive care unit to its fullest extent.
