ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the application effect of the nurse-led catheter extraction assessment model for children in PICU.Methods:From January to May 2020, 100 children with short-term catheter in PICU of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center were selected by convenient sampling method as the experimental group, the need for urethral catheter indwelling was assessed daily using an evidence-based assessment scale in PICU children, and the unnecessary indwelling catheters were removed timely, and 109 children with indwelling urethral catheters from August to December 2019 were collected as the control group, the catheter was removed by the nurse on medical advice, recorded and compared days of indwelling of catheters, the incidence of patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infection , resetting of catheters and the length of stay in ICU between the two groups.Results:The median and interquartile spacing of the days with indwelling catheter were 5.0 (6.0) days in the experimental group and 6.0 (6.0) days in the control group ( Z=-2.01, P<0.05) . In the experimental group, the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection was 1.000 percent (1/100), and in the control group, the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection was 1.835 percent (2/109); in the experimental group, 2 cases of urethral catheter were reset, and in the control group, 2 cases of urethral catheter were reset; the median and interquartile spacing of the length of stay in ICU was 6.5 (7.0) days in the experimental group and 7.0 (8.0) days in the control group. The differences of the above three indexes between the two groups were statistically significant ( χ2=0.26, 0.01, Z=-0.96, all P>0.05). Conclusions:The nurse-led catheter extraction assessment model for children can effectively shorten the catheter indwelling days for children in PICU, which has certain clinical practice significance for reducing the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the influence of preoperative family purge care for the quality of life of patients with long type of congenital Hirschsprung′s disease (HD) who had enterocolitis history in neonatal period. Preoperative family purge care, which can shorten the HD postoperative treatment, improve the quality of life. Methods A total of 40 cases of patients with long type of congenital HD who had enterocolitis history in neonatal period received 1-stage radical preoperative by family phone call. Nineteen cases from January 2010 to February 2013 were as normal group and 21 cases from March 2013 to April 2016 were as improved group. Routine family purge nursing care 3-6 months were used in both the groups, while the combined nursing care of expanding anus were used in the improved group in addition. Evaluated the effects of postoperative observation indicates: the first defecation time, length of hospital stay, time needed for expanding anus, patency rate of defecation and not patency rate in 9-12 days, need enema intervention to assist defecate rate after postoperative 1 year, the recurrence of enterocolitis at 1-3 years after operation. Results The first defecation time, length of hospital stay, time needed for expanding anus were (39.15±8.23) h, (7.89±0.82)d, (5.17±0.98) min in normal group, (23.79± 7.54) h, (7.10± 0.29) d, (3.15±0.73) min in improved group, and there were significant differences between two groups (t=6.13, 5.46, 15.54, all P0.05). Conclusions Patient with long type of congenital HD who had enterocolitis history in neonatal period neonatal period,received family enema and expanding anus in 3- 6 months before 1-stage radical preoperative can shorten the postoperative HD treatment, improve the quality of life.
