ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the influence of the teaching model based on the synergy of medical education on the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) scores and critical thinking ability of interns in emergency department.Methods:A total of 84 students who studied as interns in Emergency Department of our hospital from January 2020 to 2021 were selected as research subjects, and they were divided into observation group and control group using a random number table, with 42 students in each group. The students in the control group were taught using traditional methods, while those in the observation group were taught based on the synergy of medical education. Both groups received an OSCE examination, and the two groups were compared in terms of OSCE score, critical thinking ability, and evaluation of teaching. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t-test and the chi-square test. Results:Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher scores of theoretical assessment, disease assessment, first aid measures, special skills, use of medical instruments, communication skills with SP, and medical record writing and a significantly higher total score of OSCE assessment ( P<0.05). After teaching, both groups had a significant increase in the score of critical thinking ability, and the observation group had a significantly higher score than the control group [(306.38±25.76) vs. (280.39±20.17)]. The observation group had a significantly higher degree of satisfaction with teaching than the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The teaching model based on the synergy of medical education can improve the OSCE score of interns in emergency department and cultivate their critical thinking ability, and there is a relatively high degree of satisfaction with this teaching model.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the application of functional residual capacity (FRC)-guided optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in pulmonary retention in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and to explore the correlation between FRC and trans-pulmonary pressure and their predictive value for prognosis.Methods:Seventy-eight ARDS patients on mechanical ventilation admitted to department of critical care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from March 2018 to May 2019 were enrolled. According to random number table method, the patients were divided into experimental group and the control group. PEEP of all patients were gradually increased in recruitment after fully sedation and analgesia. The best PEEP was set by monitoring FRC in the experimental group, and by monitoring maximum oxygen in the control group set. The differences before and after 30 minutes and 2 hours recruitment manoeuvres in dynamic compliance (Cdyn), oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), and mechanical power (MP) were compared between the two groups. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between FRC and trans-pulmonary pressure. The predictive value of FRC and trans-pulmonary pressure for 28-day mortality in patients with ARDS was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:The optimal PEEP was (16.24±1.57) cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa) in the experimental group and (14.11±1.15) cmH 2O in the control group in recruitment maneuvres, with statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t = 5.678, P = 0.000). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between FRC and trans-pulmonary pressure in ARDS patients ( r = 0.759, P = 0.000). Cdyn and PaO 2/FiO 2 in the experimental group were higher than the control group at 30 minutes and 2 hours after recruitment maneuvres [Cdyn (mL/cmH 2O): 61.16±3.55 vs. 58.54±5.25, 58.59±2.82 vs. 56.86±3.40; PaO 2/FiO 2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 245.27±14.86 vs. 239.00±5.34, 192.25±5.11 vs. 188.86±5.07], MP was lower than the control group (J/min: 16.32±1.11 vs. 17.05±1.22, 15.22±1.25 vs. 17.03±1.50), the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that both FRC and trans-pulmonary pressure had predictive value for the 28-day mortality of ARDS patients, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.868, and 0.828 respectively (both P < 0.01). Conclusions:Measuring FRC in patients with ARDS during recruitment maneuvres can guide optimal PEEP. FRC was significantly correlated with trans-pulmonary pressure, and both of them had predictive value for 28-day mortality in ARDS patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To verify the clinical safety and efficacy of new intelligent ventilation mode adaptive minute ventilation (AMV)+IntelliCycle ventilation in patients with mild-to-moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:The patients with mild-to-moderate ARDS, admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from February 2018 to February 2019, were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation+pressure support ventilation (SIMV+PSV) group and AMV+IntelliCycle group according to the random number table method. All patients were given mechanical ventilation, anti-infection, analgesia and sedation, nutritional support and symptomatic treatment of primary disease after admission. SV800 ventilator was used for mechanical ventilation. In the AMV+IntelliCycle group, after setting the minute ventilation volume (VE), inhaled oxygen concentration (FiO 2) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), the ventilator was turned on the full-automatic mode, and the preset value of VE percentage was 120%. In the SIMV+PSV group, the ventilator parameters were set as follows: the ventilation frequency was 12-20 times/min, the inspiratory expiratory ratio was 1∶1-2, the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) limit level was 35-45 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa), and the setting of FiO 2 and PEEP was as the same as that of AMV+IntelliCycle group, the triggering flow was set to 2 L/min. All of the clinical parameters between the two groups were compared. The main outcomes were duration of mechanical ventilation, ventilator alarm times, manual operation times, and the mechanical power; the secondary outcomes were respiratory rate (RR), VE, tidal volume (VT), PIP, mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1), static compliance (Cst), work of breathing (WOB), and time constant at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 120 hours; and the blood gas analysis parameters of patients before and after ventilation were recorded. Results:A total of 92 patients with mild-to-moderate ARDS were admitted during the study period, excluding those who quit the study due to death, abandonment of treatment, accidental extubation of tracheal intubation and so on. Eighty patients were finally enrolled in the analysis, with 40 patients in SIMV+PSV group and AMV+IntelliCycle group respectively. ① Results of main outcomes: compared with the SIMV+PSV mode, AMV+IntelliCycle ventilation mode could shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation (hours: 106.35±55.03 vs. 136.50±73.78), reduce ventilator alarm times (times: 10.35±5.87 vs. 13.93±6.87) and the manual operations times (times: 4.25±2.01 vs. 6.83±3.75), and decrease the mechanical power (J/min: 12.88±4.67 vs. 16.35±5.04, all P < 0.05). But the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) of AMV+IntelliCycle group was significantly higher than that of SIMV+PSV group [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 41.58±6.81 vs. 38.45±5.77, P < 0.05]. ② Results of secondary outcomes: the RR of both groups was improved significantly with the prolongation of ventilation time which showed a time effect ( F = 4.131, P = 0.005). Moreover, compared with SIMV+PSV mode, AMV+IntelliCycle mode could maintain a better level of RR, with intervention effect ( F = 5.008, P = 0.031), but no interaction effect was found ( F = 2.489, P = 0.055). There was no significant difference in VE, PIP, P0.1 or Cst between the two groups, without intervention effect ( F values were 3.343, 2.047, 0.496, 1.456, respectively, all P > 0.05), but they were significantly improved with the prolongation of ventilation time in both groups, with time effect ( F values were 2.923, 12.870, 23.120, 7.851, respectively, all P < 0.05), but no interaction effect was found ( F values were 1.571, 1.291, 0.300, 0.354, respectively, all P > 0.05). The VT, WOB or time constant in both groups showed no significant changes with the prolongation of ventilation time, and no significant difference was found between the two groups, there was neither time effect ( F values were 0.613, 1.049, 2.087, respectively, all P > 0.05) nor intervention effect ( F values were 1.459, 0.514, 0.923, respectively, all P > 0.05). Conclusion:AMV+IntelliCycle ventilation mode can shorten the ventilation time of patients with mild-to-moderate ARDS, reduce mechanical power, and reduce the workload of medical care, but PaCO 2 in the patients with AMV+IntelliCycle mode is higher than that in the patients with SIMV+PSV mode.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of different surgical methods for the recovery of elderly patients with acute cholecystitis and provide reference for its clinical treatment. Methods 60 Patients aged 65 years or older undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis between January 2010 and December 2013 were selected from the database. The comparison group comprised 76 patients from the same age-group who underwent open cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. Then the curative effects of two groups were compared and analyzed. Results 76 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery and 60 had open surgery. The demographic data and co-morbidities were compared between the two groups. The postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter for patients undergoing laparoscopy (P < 0.05). The overall complication rate was significantly lower for patients undergoing laparoscopy (P < 0.05). There was no statistical significant difference in the operating time and the bleeding among the operation. Conclusions Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe procedure for acute cholecystitis in elderly patients , resulting in fewer complications and shorter hospital stay than open cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is worth in the clinical application.
