ABSTRACT
Objective To retrospectively analyze the effects of nerve block anesthesia versus general anesthesia on intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods The 104 elderly inpatients undergoing closed reduction and intramedullary nailing for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures were recruited into this study at Department of Orthopedics ,Xiangya Hospital ,Central South University from January 2015 to June 2017.Medical records were collected and analyzed by SPSS 16.0 or GraphPad Prism 6.0 software. Results A total of 104 patients were divided into general anesthesia group(n= 48 )and nerve block anesthesia group (n= 56 ). There was no statistical difference in the demographic characteristics between the two groups. The changes in heart rate ,maximum changes of systolic/diastolic blood pressures ,and infusion volume during surgery were lower in the nerve block anesthesia group than in the general anesthesia group [(12.7 ± 7.3)vs. (18.1 ± 7.8)beats/min ,(22.5 ± 8.8/12.2 ± 7.5)mmHg vs. (34.3 ± 7.9/21.6 ± 6.6)mmHg ,(792.9 ± 387.0)ml vs. (1 083.0 ± 445.5)ml ,respectively ,t=3.64 ,7.14 ,6.73 ,5.16 ,all P＜0.01]. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in other perioperative data and the number of deaths at three months and one year after surgery. Conclusions As compared with the general anesthesia ,the nerve block anesthesia has less effects on the heart rate ,less maximum changes of systolic and diastolic blood pressures ,and less infusion volume during surgery ,and has no significant increase in postoperative mortality ,which is safe and worthy of further promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish a database for pelvic trauma in Hunan Province,and to start the work of multicenter pelvic trauma registry.Methods:To establish the database,literatures relevant to pelvic trauma were screened,the experiences from the established trauma database in China and abroad were learned,and the actual situations for pelvic trauma rescue in Hunan Province were considered.The database for pelvic trauma was established based on the PostgreSQL and the advanced programming language Java 1.6.Results:The complex procedure for pelvic trauma rescue was described structurally.The contents for the database included general patient information,injurious condition,prehospital rescue,conditions in admission,treatment in hospital,status on discharge,diagnosis,classification,complication,trauma scoring and therapeutic effect.The database can be accessed through the internet by browser/servicer.The functions for the database include patient information management,data export,history query,progress report,video-image management and personal information management.Conclusion:The database with whole life cycle pelvic trauma is successfully established for the first time in China.It is scientific,functional,practical,and user-friendly.
