ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of surgery treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients.Methods 60 elderly patients with prostatic hyperplasia aged 80 years and over were admitted in our hospital from January 2005 to January 2009.56 cases were treated with transurethral plasmakinetic resection of benign prostatic hyperplasia,and 4 cases were treated with suprapubic prostatic hyperplasia enucleation.IPSS score,residual urine volume and maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) in all patients were compared between pre-and post-surgery.Results 60 cases of patients were operated successfully without significant intraoperative capsular perforation,ureteral orifice and urethral sphincter injury.IPSS scores and residualurine volume were significantly less after surgery than before surgery [(20.3 ± 3.7) vs.(11.5 ± 2.1),(85.1 ± 13.0) ml vs.(37.7±7.9) ml,t=16.02,24.14,both P＜0.05].The maximum flow rate Qmax was significantly higher after surgery than before surgery[(8.7 ± 2.1) ml/s vs.(14.9 ± 3.2) ml/s,t =12.55,P＜0.05].All patients were followed up for 6-12 months.No incontinence and recurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia were found.Conclusions Transurethral plasmakinetic resection for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia is safe and effective in elderly patients,with a low recurrence rate,and is worthy of promoting.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe continuous venous-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) for treatments and cares of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Methods From August 2004 to August 2006, 15 cases with SAP were in conventional treatment (the control group), from September 2006 to August 2010, 20 cases with SAP were nursed with CVVH(the observation group). We surveyed patients' vital signs (including body temperature, heart rate, breathing and blood pressure),mental symptoms, abdominal signs and monitored liver and kidney functions. Additionally we executed APACHE Ⅱ scores. We analyzed them retrospectively. Results The afore - mentioned indexes of two groups were significant in statistics, the observation group had lower incidence of MODS、MOF than the control group after 10 days caring. Conclusions The CVVH could correct systemic inflammatory reaction of SAP and prevent complications. Standard technical operation and intensive nursing can ensure smooth process of CVVH and decrease complications caused by CVVH.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the cause of bacterial infection of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) in intensive care unit(ICU) and summarize effective methods to prevent and control the infection.METHODS Epidemiologic study on 300 patients with VAP in ICU from Dec 1,2003 to Jul 13,2006.Preventing and controlling strategy was as follows.RESULTS Pathogenic bacteria of VAP in ICU mostly were multidrug-resistant ones,of which the G-were 56.3%,G+ were 23% and fungi were 13.7%.CONCLUSIONS To control VAP in ICU proper technique and method are important.Management of hospital infection and related training of staff in ICU are the basic way.
