ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prognostic value of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA) score and the blood lactic acid in heat stroke patients combined with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS). METHODS: A judge sampling method was used to select 42 cases of heat stroke patients combined with MODS as study subjects. They were divided into survival group(23 cases) and death group(19 cases) according to prognosis. The APACHEⅡ, SOFA score and blood lactate level after admission to intensive care unit(ICU) were detected. The prognostic value of each index was analyzed according to receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) curve. RESULTS: At the 48 th hour after admission to ICU, the APACHEⅡ and SOFA scores of the patients in the death group were higher than those in the survival group(P<0.05). At the 6 th hour after admission to ICU, the blood lactate level in the death group increased compare with that in the survival group(P<0.05). APACHEⅡ or SOFA scores at 48 hours, and the blood lactate levels at the 1 st, 2 nd, and 6 th hours after admission to ICU were all positively correlated with prognosis(P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that APACHEⅡ and SOFA scores at 48 hours, and the blood lactate levels at the 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd hours after admission to ICU could be used to evaluate the prognosis(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The dynamic monitoring of APACHEⅡ, SOFA score and the blood lactic acid have important clinical significance on the prognosis of heat stroke patients with MODS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect and safety of intensive insulin therapy on patients who had stress hy-perglycemia induced by critical trauma, when different blood glucose was aimed in surgery intensive care unit (SICU). Methods We retrospectively analyzed SICU patients who were admitted between 2010.1-2012.7 with admission blood glucose and 30 minutes blood glucose both over 11.1 mmol/L ,and without known history of diabetes. In total, 153 pa-tients were set into three groups according to their target blood glucose:intensive insulin therapy (IIT) group with target blood glucose of 4.0-6.1 mmol/L;NICE SUGAR (NST) group with target blood glucose of 6.2-8.3 mmol/L;conventional in-sulin therapy(CIT)group with target blood glucose of 9.9-11.1 mmol/L. Each group had 51 patients. To collect data from these three groups of patients,we compared daily insulin doses , hypoglycemia incidence, final blood glucose, APACHEⅡscores upon discharging from ICU, time of the ventilatory support, length of staying in ICU, morbidity and mortality rate. Results Comparing these three groups, daily insulin dosage and hypoglycemia incidence, were significantly lower in NST and CIT group than in IIT group. Daily insulin dosage was higher in NST group than in CIT group;no significant difference of hypoglycemia incidence was shown between NST group and CIT group. The final blood glucose was lowest in IIT group and highest in CIT group (P＜0.05). APACHE II score was 9.3±7.5 upon discharge from ICU in NST group. Ventilation time and duration of ICU admission both were shortest in NST group but show no significant difference between IIT and CIT group . No significant difference of complicate incidence and mortality rate was indicated among all three groups. Conclusion In patient with stress hyperglycemia induced by critical trauma,maintaining the patients’final blood glucose between 6.2-8.3 mmol/L can effectively control the stress hyperglycemia,improve prognosis and reduce the mortality of hypoglycemia.
