ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatation tracheotomy in critical ill patients.Methods From January 2016 to January 2018,95 critical ill patients who were treated in the People's Hospital of Quzhou were selected.According to the random number table method,they were divided into control group (n =47) and observation group (n =48).The patients in the control group were treated with traditional tracheotomy,and the patients in the observation group were treated with percutaneous dilatation tracheotomy under ultrasonic guidance.The operation condition of the two groups was observed,including operative bleeding volume,operative time,incision length,extubation time,incision healing time,hospitalization time and so on.The postoperative complications and mortality were recorded in the two groups.Results The operative bleeding volume,operative time,incision length and incision healing time in the observation group were (12.91 ± 1.36) mL,(10.05 ± 1.14) min,(1.46 ± 0.32) cm,(5.48 ±0.39)d,respectively,which were lower than those in the control group[(38.54 ± 3.47)mL,(27.43 ±2.29) min,(3.25 ± 0.68) cm,(7.64 ± 0.72) d],there were statistically significant differences between the two groups(t =40.098,39.616,13.888,15.381,P =0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000).The extubation time,hospitalization time in the observation group were (14.19 ± 1.14)d,(20.17 ± 1.85)d,respectively,which in the control group were (14.23 ± 1.17) d,(20.26 ± 1.89) d,respectively,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (t =0.142,0.198,P =0.886,0.843).The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the observation group was 6.25％,which was lower than 21.28％ in the control group,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (x2 =9.515,P =0.002).The ICU mortality and hospitalization mortality in the observation group were 2.08％ and 4.17％,respectively,which in the control group were 10.64％ and 12.77％,respectively,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2 =2.937,2.277,P =0.087,0.131).Conclusion Ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy can improve operation condition,reduce hospitalization time,and has less complications,low mortality,which has good clinical value in critical ill care.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the usefulness of free angle M-mode echocardiography (FAM) in obtaining tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) for assessing the fetal right ventricular function,and to compare the results of measurements of TAPSE by conventional M-mode(CM) and FAM.Methods Two hundred and forty-three normal fetuses in second and late trimester were divided into 5 groups by gestational age(GA):20-24 weeks,24+1-28 weeks,28+1-32 weeks,32+1-36 weeks,36+1-40 weeks.The TAPSE were measured by CM and FAM echocardiography,meanwhile multiple parameters for evaluating right ventricular function were obtained by using myocardial tissue Doppler imaging (TDI),and the correlation between TAPSE and other parameters were analyzed by linear correlation.ANOVA was used to compare CM-TAPSE,FAM-TAPSE,Em,Sm and right ventricular fractional shortening(RVFS)with different GA.Regression equation estimate was used to compare the relationship of FAM-TAPSE with GA.Independent sample t test was used to compare CM TAPSE with FAM TAPSE.Results There were significant differences in CM-TAPSE,FAM-TAPSE,Em,and Sm among 5 groups (P =0.000),the measured value of FAM-TAPSE was higher than that of CM TAPSE (P =0.000).Both FAM-TPASE and CM-TAPSE showed significant positive correlations with GA,Em and Sm,but FAM TAPSE demonstrated better correlation than CM-TAPSE.Conclusions By adjusting sample line of FAM,measuring the maximum displacement of tricuspid annular plane is feasible,and FAM may evaluate fetal right ventricular function more accurately and effectively.
