ABSTRACT
Twenty eight patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) underwent continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH)in ICU from June 2003 to June 2008, including 13 cases treated with predilution mode and 15 with postdilution mode. The changes of oxygenate index( PaO2/FiO2 )during CVVH were retrospectively analyzed. The total case fatality rate of this group of patients was 46%(13/28). There was a significant increase in PaO2/FiO2 of 28 cases during the first 48 h of CVVH (P ＜0. 05);the levels of PaO2/FiO2 in predilution group had increased significantly within 48 h during CVVH (P＜0. 05), while those in postdilution group had not significantly changed (P ＞ 0. 05). There was a significant increase in Pa02/FiO2 for the survival patients during the first 48h CVVH( P ＜ 0. 05 ), while no significantly change in the fatal cases(P ＞0. 05 ). In summary, oxygenate function and outcome of patients with MODS can be improved by CVVH, and predilution may be a more effective mode.
ABSTRACT
Objective To comparie the effects of pre-dilution with post-dilution continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for patients with MODS. Method Thirty-two MODS patients admitted to ICU (Intensive Care Unit ) were randomized and treated with different modes of CRRT. The results of creatinine clearance, acid-base equilibrium, haemodynamic variables before and post therapy were recorded.The maximal pre-filter pressure, the duration of filter unworn out and mortality of patients treated with different modes of CRRT were also recorded. Results Seventeen patients were treated with pre-dilution mode of CRRT and 15 patients treated with post-dilution mode of CRRT. After 24 hours of pre- and postdilution modes of CRRT, the net increase in Ccr (namely the rate of replacement creatinine clearance) were (15.6±4.6) vs. (22.7 ±4. 1) mL/min respectively (P＜0.01); after 48-hour, they were (14.9±3.3)vs. ( 18. 9 ±2. 3) mL/min (p ＜0. 05) . Both dilution modes could improve the blood PH、 HCO3- and BE( P ＜ 0. 05 ) without significant differences between two groups after CRRT therapy ( P ＞ 0. 05 ) . The MAP of patients treated with pre-dilution modes of CRRT therapy for 24 hours and the MAP of patients before therapy were 69. 2 ± 4. 6 and 56. 7 + 9. 1 mmHg respectively ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), and dosage of dopamine used in patients before CRRT therapy and that after CRRT for 24 hours were ( 11.20 +3.45 ) vs (6. 12 +3.41 ) μg ·kg-1 min -1(P＜0.05).The maximal pre-filter pressures of pre-and post-dilution modes were (82.23+9.11) cm H2O, (110.56 +28. 14) cmH2O respectively (P＜0.05), and the durations of lasting effect of filter used in two modes of CRRT were ( 39 + 28. 12 ) vs. ( 25 + 14. 45 ) h respectively ( P ＜0. 05) . Both dilution modes could improve APACHE Scores. There were no significant differences in APACHE Scores and mortalities between two groups after CRRT therapy. Conclusions Post-dilution mode of CRRT has higher filtration rate, but have higher maximal pre-filter pressure and shorter longevity of filter.Pre-dilution mode of CRRT has better effect on improving hemodynamics, reducing usage of vasopressor.Both modes of CRRT can correct acid base equilibrium disorder rapidly. There are no differences in the results of blood gas analysis improved、 APACHE scores and mortality between the two groups.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the distribution and antibiotic resistance of hospital - associated pneu-monia(HAP) in senile patient,and the high risk factors of HAP,pathogenic bacterium and prognosis,so as to instruct the clinic prevention and treatment. Methods Patients with age over 60 years old,who were diagnosed of HAP with confirmed pathogens. Pathogens were identified, then the antibiotic resistance was determined by Kirty-Baucer disk dif-fusion assay. High risk factors of HAP, pathogenic bacterium and prognosis were analyzed by Logistic regression analy-sis. Results The first 10th pathogens of HAP patients were pseudomonas aeruginosa( 16.1% ),staphylococcus au-reus( 14.6% ) ,klebsiella pneumonia( 10.2% ), escherichia coil (8.8%) ,staphylococcus hemolyticus (7.3%). MR-SA accounted for 90% in staphylococcus aureus. The drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem was 29.5%. The high risk factors of HAP were acute brain accident, hypoalbuminemia, tracheal intubation or mechanical ventilation, rennal failure,COPD, gastric tube, anaemia,liver disfunction,long length of stay ( all P < 0.05 ). The mor-tality of senile HAP was 29.2%. Conclusion There are high antibiotic resistance and high mortality of HAP in se-nile patients. Measures should be taken to modify the risk factors.
