ABSTRACT
Objective:Analysis of influencing factors of enteral nutrition interruption in critically ill patients in general surgery department and its impact on prognosis.Methods:A total of 91 cases of critically ill patients in general surgery department were selected who were admitted to the general surgery of General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army in Nanjing from June 2021 to March 2022 by convenient sampling method, demographic and enteral nutrition interruption data were collected,and patients were divided into enteral nutrition interruption group and enteral nutrition uninterrupted group to investigate the analysis of the factors of affecting enteral nutrition interruption and its impact on prognosis by Logistic regression analysis.Results:There were 59 cases in the enteral nutrition interruption group and 32 cases in the enteral nutrition uninterrupted group. There were statistically significant differences in gender, analgesic and sedatives, Gastro-kinetic agent and feeding intolerance between both groups ( χ2 values were 4.51-9.97, all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis results showed that gender ( OR=4.566, 95%CI 1.332-15.657, P<0.05), analgesic and sedatives ( OR=3.437, 95%CI 1.112-10.621, P<0.05), and feeding intolerance ( OR=4.116, 95%CI 1.257-13.479, P<0.05) were the factors of enteral nutrition interruption. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the number of days of enteral nutrition up to goal in 3 days, 3-7 days and 7 days, albumin,length of stay in intensive care unit, total length of stay and hospitalization expenses between both groups ( Z values were -2.80 - -0.73, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Female, analgesic and sedatives and feeding intolerance are the risk factors of enteral nutrition interruption in critically ill patients in general surgery department, and enteral nutrition interruption has an adverse impact on the prognosis.Medical staff should avoid excessive use of analgesic and sedatives, and do well in feeding tolerance management to reduce the occurrence of enteral nutrition interruption.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of 30° and 45° angles on the time and comfort of mechanical ventilation and extubation for patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Methods:A total of 64 patients who underwent oral tracheal intubation at SICU in the General Surgery Center of the Critical Care Medical Center of our hospital from January 2018 to November 2018 were selected. A total of 64 patients were randomly divided into group A and group B by random number table method, of which there were 31 people in group A and 33 people in group B. During the experiment, 1 people in group A and 3 people in group B experienced dyspnea during the withdrawal process and terminated treatment. Finally, 30 patients in group A and 30 patients in group B were selected. The bedside angle during group A treatment was 30°, and the bedside angle during group B treatment was 45°. The bedside angle card was used by both groups to measure the height of the bedside during the weaning. The two groups of patients were compared during the weaning period (improved Visual Analogue Scale score), weaning to extubation time, aspiration rate, intubation time, pressure ulcer rate, pulmonary function and hemodynamic changes after extubation.Results:Patients with ventilator to extubation time, during the machine during oxygenation index, pulled machine comfort score in group A were 117.50 (45.25, 189.00) min, (348.20±59.72) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), 1.00 (1.00, 2.00) points, group B were respectively 30.00 (13.50, 42.75) min, (314.60±67.13) mmHg and 3.00 (2.00, 3.00) points, two groups comparing the difference was statistically significant ( Z values was -2.411, -4.806, t value was 2.048, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:Lifting the bedside 30° during mechanical ventilation withdrawal in patients with abdominal surgery can shorten the time from patient withdrawal to extubation, improve the patient's oxygenation index, and improve the comfort during patient withdrawal. It can be used as an early patient for abdominal surgery. One of the auxiliary intervention measures for withdrawal.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical outcomes and safety of continuous negative pressure irrigation (NPI) and endoscopic necrosectomy(ED) for treating infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN). Methods A retrospective review of the data of 163 severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) patients with IPN who were treated by four-step drainage from January 2012 to December 2013 at the SAP therapy center of Nanjing General Hospital was performed. All patients were divided into 7 groups including PCD alone, PCD+NPI, PCD+NPI+ED, PCD+ON, PCD +NPI +ON, PCD +ED +ON and PCD +NPI +ED +ON group based on the drainage strategy of percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD),NPI, ED and open necrosectomy(ON), and the feasibility and safety were analyzed. Results All the patients underwent PCD therapy. Each patient underwent a median of 3 drainage procedures and the median total drainage duration was 11 days. No significant procedure-related complication was observed. Around 40% of the patients recovered after receiving PCD alone. Thirty-four patients(20.9%) underwent ON. The mean hospitalization duration was 38 days and the mean ICU stay was 19 days. There were 25 cases with new-onset organ functional failure,26 patients with sepsis,32 patients with gastric and intestinal fistula,34 patients with intra-abdominal bleeding,8 patients with portal vein thrombosis and 3 patients with gastric outlet obstruction. 28 patients(17.2%) died. Conclusions This four-step approach is effective in treating IPN when compared with other step-up strategies. NPI and ED could offer distinct clinical efficacy without adding no extra risk to patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation of stage early upright mobilization in critical patients and enteral nutrition- related tolerance. Methods A total of 50 critically patients with continuous enteral nutrition who admitted in ICU from October 2016 to July 2017 were randomized into two groups;the control group (receiving routine functional exercise in bed) and the observation group (stage early upright mobilization)25 cases in each group,the correlation of nutrition-related tolerance,the length of target feeding time and incidence of catheter related adverse events were compared. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of reflux of stomach,aspiration,diarrhea and catheter related adverse events in this two group patients during enteral nutrition(P>0.05),while the times of interrupting enteral nutrition in the observation group(0)was lower than that of the control group (20.83%,5/24),with a statistically significant difference(χ2=4.922,P=0.035).The length of target feeding time was shortened, (3.04 ± 0.66) d in the control group, (3.57 ± 0.83) d in the observation group,with a statistically significant difference(t=2.409,P=0.025). Conclusions Stage early upright mobilization in critical patients is safe and feasible,it can improve the feeding tolerance and shorten the length of target feeding time to promote the early recovery of the patient's disease.
