ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of analgesia and sedation scheme on ICU delirium among patients with cardiac surgery. Methods A total of 235 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation were enrolled via simple random number sampling method from January to December,2016, and divided into the experimental group(117 cases)and the control group(118 cases).The experimental group received analgesia and sedation scheme designed by our department,and the control group received routine sedation protocol. The incidence of ICU delirium, the dosages of drugs, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay were recorded. Results The compliance rate of shallow sedation in the experimental group was 87.17% (102/117), which was lower than 57.62% (68/118) in the control group with statistical difference(χ2=25.642,P<0.05).The incidence of ICU delirium in the experimental group was 17.09% (20/117), which was lower than 34.75% (41/118) in the control group with statistical difference (χ2=9.524, P<0.05). The dosages of sedation drugs were: dexmedetomidine, (269.46 ± 32.47) μg,disoprofol,(286.84±81.96)mg,the duration of mechanical ventilation was(14.31±1.43)h,the length of ICU stay was(16.02±1.25)h.Those data were all lower than those of the control group[(507.29±58.27) μg,(575.63±95.74)mg,(20.45±2.29)h,(22.82±2.45)h]with statistical difference(t=-5.529--4.371, P<0.05). Conclusion Analgesia and sedation scheme was worthy of popularization and application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the experiences of postoperative care of 7 patients with lung transplantation patients receiving high flow nasal cannulae oxygen therapy. Methods The key points to ensure the success of operation were oxygen therapy waiting for lung transplantation,sequential treatment after tracheal intubation, assisted by fiberoptic bronchoscopy, nasal high flow oxygen therapy failed to switch to non-invasive treatment or re intubation. Results All 7 patients got through the intensive care period successful. Conclusions High flow nasal cannulae can improve the comfort and compliance of lung transplant patients,and easy to operate.
ABSTRACT
This paper summarized nursing care in intra-hospital transfer of 13 critically ill patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The key points to guarantee safety of critically ill patients were establishing a well-trained professional team and developing standardized procedures,and applying checklist for ECMO Transfer. The key points in nursing were assessment and pretreatment,homogenized nursing during transfer and effective handover after transfer. As a result,six cases of avian influenza patients successfully completed CT ex-amination,five cases of lung re-transplant patients and two cases of lung transplant patients were successfully trans-ferred to the operating room.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the successful application experience of intra-hospital transport of 13 H7N9 avian influenza patients from the general wards to the avian influenza ward. Methods Form the expert group, to determine the design target and principle of the standardized workflow and point out the operation points of standard workflow in intra-hospital transport of each link. Results The standardized workflow included the disposal of the transfer notice, condition assessment, department contact,patient preparation,object preparation,custody transfer personnel preparation,transit guardianship and transfer to the avian influenza ward,a total of eight procedures.Between January 2013 and March 2017,13 cases were successfully transfered.All patients safely arrived avian influenza ward. The process was quick and smooth.Nobody was died or rescued within 1 h after transport. Conclusions The main differences of intra-hospital transport between H7N9 avian influenza patients and general critically ill patients are the transit time control, the particularity of terminal disposal, transshipment arrangement and hospital infection management personnel involved in the whole process.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of diabetic liaison nurses on controlling blood sugar levels in patients with hyperglycemia in department other than endocrinology. Methods Four hundred diabetic patients with high blood sugar were selected from January to December, 2014 in department other than endocrinology. They were divided randomly into 2 groups equally:the control group and the observation group. The control group received traditional nursing care, while blood sugar management was carried out by diabetic liaison nurse in the observation group. Result Pre-discharge sugar metabolism in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The diabetic liaison nurses in other departments than the endocrinology department can help control blood sugar levels in patients with hyperglycemiain.
