Objective To explore the application effect of common blood sample collection guidelines in improving the qualification rate of blood sample collection in intensive care units (ICUs). Methods Blood samples were collected from patients in the ICU of a tertiary hospital from February 2024 to August 2024, and divided into a routine group (n=2258) and a intervention group (n=3377). The pre intervention group followed the conventional collection process, while the post intervention group used the optimized "Guidelines for Common Blood Sample Collection". Compare the qualified rate and reasons for unqualified blood sample collection between two groups. Results The qualified rate of blood sample collection in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the routine group (97.3% vs 85.3%, P<0.05); The main reason for the unqualified collection rate is the significant reduction in coagulation and hemolysis of anticoagulant specimens (P<0.05). The standardization of nursing staff operation was significantly improved (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of the "Guidelines for Common Blood Sample Collection" has significantly improved the qualification rate of ICU blood sample collection, optimized the collection process, and has promotional value.
