The causes for the prolongation of DDI were analyzed and protocols were developed. Through continuous summaries and improvement, a standardized process was established to direct clinical application, ie, the PDCA cycle.Results: The DDI was shortened from 14.26 min in 2019 to 12.18 min in 2020 and the neonatal asphyxia rate significantly decreased from 34.69% in 2019 to 12.50% in 2020 (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The PDCA cycle management mode effectively shortened the DDI time and reduced the neonatal asphyxia rate, without increasing adverse maternal outcomes.Keywords: PDCA cycle, emergency C-delivery, DDI, neonatal, asphyxia |
