ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of propofol and midazolam on the prognosis of patients treated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.Methods A prospective,single-blind,randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in 90 patients who were treated with noninvasive ventilation for acute dyspnea in the ICU of the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from October 2014 to December 2016.They were randomly divided into three groups according to the digital table,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was not given sedation treatment.The propofol group was given propofol 0.5 ～ 1 mg/kg,and then administered by intravenous infusion of 1 mg · kg-1 · h-1 with a micropump.The midazolam group was given midazolam 0.05-O.1 mg/kg,and then with intravenous infusion of 0.05-0.1 mg · kg-1 · h-1 maintaining the patients'sedation goals(Ramsay score of 2).The vital signs and blood gas analysis indicators were recorded.The incidence of tracheal intubation,the incidence of hospital infection,length of ICU and hospital stay,mortality and sedation-related complications were compared.Results The tracheal intubation rate in the propofol group was similar to that in the midazolam group (20.0％ vs.23.3％,x2 =2.65,P ＞ 0.05),while the tracheal intubation rate (46.7％) in the control group was significantly higher (x2 =4.21,4.17,all P ＜ 0.05).The length of ICU and hospital stay in the pmpofol group [(7 ± 3)d and (15 ± 5) d] and midazolam treatment group[(8 ± 4) d and (16 ± 4) d] were significantly shorter than those in the control group[(13 ± 4) d and (20 ± 6) d] (t =2.384,2.371,2.392,2.389,all P ＜ 0.05).The mortality rates of 30d (20.0％,6/30) and 90d (30.0％,9/30) in the control group were higher than those in the propofol group(10.0％,3/30;20.0％,6/30),and the midazolam group (13.3％,4/30;23.3％,7/30),but the differences were not statistically significant(P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rates of hospital infection in the pmpofol group and midazolam group were 6.6％ (2 cases) and 10.0％ (3 cases),which were significantly lower than 33.3％ (10 cases) in the control group (x2 =4.32,4.23,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The use of mild sedation in patients of acute dyspnea treated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation can improve the patients' tolerance rate,reduce the rate of tracheal intubation and the incidence of hospital infection,and decrease the length of ICU and hospital stay,without significant adverse reactions.There was no significant difference between propofol and midazolam.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of early intervention on the prevention of delirium in patients undergoing elective surgery. Methods Totally 200 patients scheduled for surgery and admitted to ICU during Oct. 2016 to Jun. 2018 were assigned to two groups (n=100). Both the observation group (group A) and the control group (group B) received routine nursing care from wards, operating room and ICU nurses. In addition, the observation group (group A) were intervened by ICU nurses by means of nursing measures to prevent delirium the day before surgery. The differences of delirium incidence, delirium duration, and length of stay in ICU, satisfaction and anxiety scores between the two groups were measured. Results The incidence and duration of delirium, length of stay in ICU, satisfaction rate of ICU, S-AI scores between group A and B were 16% (16/100) vs. 29% (29/100), 4(3.1, 10.6) h vs. 12(9.2, 14.6) h , (33.06 ± 16.06) h vs. (39.96 ± 25.47) h and (56.25 ± 5.74) vs. (41.59 ± 4.94) , (50.17 ± 1.56) vs. (52.37 ± 3.52) respectively (χ2=4.129, Z=-2.757, t=2.291,-19.349, 5.718, all P < 0.05). Conclusion Early intervention can effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of ICU delirium in patients undergoing elective surgery.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of subglottic secretion drainage at different intervals on ventilator- associated pneumonia(VAP). Methods A total of 150 patients receiving tracheostomy during January 2015 to December 2016 were divided into A, B, C group according to the order of intubation time. The subglottic secretion drainage was attracted at intervals of 2, 4, and 6 h respectively.The differences in balloon secretion on occult blood test(after intubation,intubation time,3 d, 5 d,7 d), the content of airborne bacteria in the air sac, the number of VAP and the time of VAP occurrence between the 3 groups were analyzed. Results The 3 groups that group A had 78 positive cases,group B had 46 cases and group C had 38 cases had statistical significance differences compared with balloon retentate occult blood test(χ2=28.23,P=0.00);there were statistical significance differences between the 3 groups of bacteria (Z=11.91, P =0.00 ), there were statistically significant differences between group A and group C (Z=-3.01, P=0.00), between group B and group C (Z=-2.19, P=0.01). There were statistical significance differences between the 3 groups of the number of VAP cases(χ2=7.50, P =0.00) that there were 12 cases happening in group A, 13 cases in group B and 23 cases in group C. There were statistical significance differences between group A and group C(χ2=5.32,P=0.02),between group B and group C (χ2=4.34, P =0.04). The occurrence time of VAP which was (169.25 ± 20.80) h in group A,(168.35±18.04)h in group B and(129.47±18.13)h in group C,there was significantly different between the 3 groups(F=2 788.19,P=0.00),the differences between group A and group C(t=3.19,P=0.00),group B and group C(t=68.40,P=0.00)were statistically significant. Conclusions The subglottic secretion drainage at intervals of 4 hours will not only reduce the damage to the airway mucosa,but also reduce the incidence of airway bacteria and the incidence of VAP and delay the occurrence of late VAP.
