ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between dynamic lactic acid monitoring and pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) and clinical significance.MethodsPCIS of 77 critically ill children admitted into pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were recorded after hospitalization.According to PCIS,all the children were divided into extremely critical group (23 cases),critical group (32 cases),non-critical group (22 cases),according to prognosis,all the children were divided into surrival group (55 cases) and death group (22 cases).Blood concentration of lactic acid were detected.Differences in their lactic acid indexes (including lactic acid level after admission to PICU,peak lactic acid level) and PCIS were compared,their correlation and prognosis of critid death group(22 cases) cally ill children were analyzed.Results Lactic acid level after admission to PIC U [ (5.28 ± 3.69) mmol/L ] and peak lactic acid level [(8.54 ± 4.32 )mmol/L] in extremely critical group were significantly higher than those in critical group and non-critical group (P ＜ 0.05 ),but PCIS [ (65.79 ± 2.34) scores ] was significantly lower than that in critical group and non-critical group(P ＜0.05).Lactic acid indexes in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01 ),but PCIS was significantly lower than that in survival group (P ＜ 0.05 ).PCIS was negative correlated with lactic acid level (P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsCritically ill children with elevated lactic acid indexes are worse and poorer prognosis.PCIS score can effectively evaluate children's condition and prognosis,and compared with lactic acid level linear correlation is existed.Dynamic lactic acid monitoring indexes are the good factors for the severe degree and predicting the prognosis of the critically ill children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore nursing methods of postoperative patients with brain stem tumor complicated with stress hyperglycemia. Methods The medical and nursing measures of 56 postoperative patients with brain stem tumor complicated with stress hyperglycemia were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 56 cases, 48 cases were clinically cured, 6 cases was improved, 2 cases died of multiple organ failure. Conclusions It is especially important to intensify insulin therapy, necessary to closely observe the patients' consciousness, pupils and the change of vital signs. Meanwhile, strengthening nursing on common complications such as infection and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and paying more attention to patients' dietary, mental state and rehabilitation are also important measures.
ABSTRACT
Advancements in technology have enhanced the performance of pacemakers but made the interaction between the pacemaker and the heart becoming increasingly complex, and its is difficult to interpret the paced ECGs (PGCGs). This paper introduces a brief method to interpret PECGs, which illustrate the timing intervals graphically and avoid using symbols and strings.
