ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of intravascular interventional embolization in the emergency treatment of patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture.Methods The retrospective analysis was made on the medical records of 45 cases treated from October 2012 to December 2014.There were 27 male and 18 females(39.2-± 10.3) years (range,28-54 years).Time from injury to admission was within 3 h.Injury severity score (ISS) was (25.3 ± 8.1) points.The pelvic fracture included 32 cases of Type B and 13 Type C according to Tile classification system.After admission,anti-shock treatment and pelvic immobilization with the belt or external fixator were performed,and emergent intravascular interventional embolization was used to stanch bleeding after the bleeding of other organs was excluded.Vascular intervention,post-treatment vitazl signs and prognosis were evaluated.Results Time from admission to interventional therapy was 1.2-2.7 h [(1.9 ± 0.8) h].Time of interventional treatment was 1.6-3.2 h [(2.3-± 0.6) h].Of the 45 cases,contrast extravasation was seen in 38 cases,abnormal vascular morphology in 5 cases,no obvious bleeding in 1 case,and contrast extravasation in the angiographic venous phase in 1 case.Among the 38 cases of contrast extravasation,the offending vessels involved were internal pudenda artery (26 cases),obturator artery (16 cases),superior gluteal artery (4 cases),inferior gluteal artery (4 cases),inferior epigastric artery (1 case) and external iliac artery (1 case),but 8 cases were noted to have two offending vessels and 1 case had delayed bleeding.Of the 45 cases,the hemostatic effect was good in the early stage.After the interventional embolization therapy,the heart rate was (105.2 ± 14.8) beats/min,arterial pressure was (79.0 ± 10.6) mmHg,central venous pressure was (5.1 ± 0.8) cmH2O,and shock index was 1.1 ±-0.5,showing improved vital signs postoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).Four cases died mainly due to the multiple organ failure.One case had abdominal distention aggravated 3 days after operation,which were confirmed to be bleeding in the branch of external iliac artery,and the symptom was alleviated after embolization therapy.Forty-one cases survived with ICU length of stay of (14.5 ± 5.4) d,hospitalization time of (35.2 ± 12.8) d and medical expense of (96,755.3-± 20,568.1) CNY.Conclusion In the emergency treatment of patients with hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture,the intravascular interventional embolization has become an important measure of comprehensive treatment that allows fast and mini-invasive procedure hemostasis,and deserves clinical promoting.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the strategies of diagnosis and treatment of severe multiple injuries in Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU).Methods The clinical data of 226 patients with severe multiple injuries were analyzed retrospectively.188 patients were treated by surgical operation,and 38 patients were not treated by surgical operation.Results Among these patients,46 patients (accounted for 20.3%)were with pulmonary infection and atelectasis,41 patients (accounting for 18.1%)were with multiple -organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), 35 patients (accounted for 15.5%)were with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),and 19 patients (accounted for 8.4%)were with stress ulceration and bleeding.198 patients (accounted for 87.6%)were successfully rescued, and 28 patients (accounted for 12.3%)died.The main cause of death in the early stage was the serious craniocerebral injury,and the main cause of death in the later stage was the multiple -organ dysfunction.Conclusion EICU plays a very important role in comprehensive treatment of severe multiple injuries,and can obviously increase the success rate of treatment and cure of severe multiple injuries.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between dynamic changes of plasma D-dimer and survival rate of the esophageal carcinoma patients pre-and post-operation.Methods 30 cases of normal control group,160 cases of esophageal cancer group( including operation cases n =112),with the gold standard method for the determination of plasma D-dimer.Results There was a link between the level of D-dimer,TNM staging,lymph node metastasis and tumor size in esophageal carcinoma patients.Compared with the preoperation,the plasma D-dimer is significantly elevated 2 years later( t =7.35,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Before or after the operation,dynamic changes of plasma D-dimer had a relationship with short-term survival rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the radiographic findings of the chest in patients after open heart surgery and its evaluating methods.Methods 236 cases after open heart surgery were divided into 3 groups according to the date of the first postoperative chest films:0～3 d,4～7 d and 8 d or more.The findings on pre and postoperative chest films were compared in 7 aspects respectively.Results 8 typses of complications were detected including severe ones such as acute pulmonary edema,the low cardiac output syndrome and ARDS.The incidences of widening of the mediastinum,pleural effusion and pulmonary interstitial edema were lower in over 8 d group than those in the other two groups(?
