ABSTRACT
This paper summarizes the nursing experience of 9 very low birth weight infants with catheter-related infections. Among the 132 very low birth weight infants with PICC,9 cases suffered from catheter-related infections. Three cases showed positive results on the germiculture of catheter tip and blood, two cases showed positive result only on the germiculture of blood, and four cases showed negative results on both germiculture of catheter tip and blood. One infant's parent gave up the treatment and eight cases were cured. It is suggested that closely monitoring the signs of infections and taking effective treatment and nursing care as early as possible were the key points of infection control.
ABSTRACT
This paper summarize the perioperative nursing of 12 newborns with thyroglossal cyst. The preoperative nursing measures focused on prone position,gastric tube feeding,close monitoring of vital signs and tracheal intubation as needed. If the TeSO2 was normal,oxygen therapy was not recommended. After the operation,continuously monitoring vital signs,respiratory care and use of sedatives as needed were carried out. As a result,all of the 12 infants recovered and discharged.
ABSTRACT
Objective Study the value of clinical application of BaiJi and absorbable Gelatin in embolizing uterine myoma together with its effecty, side effect and complication.Methods 21 women with uterine myoma undergoing selective uterine arterial embolization by Seldinger's technique were studied. After retrograde transfemoral introduction of a 5 french catheter, the uterine arteries were successively catheterized. Bai Ji and absorbable Gelatin sponge particles were injected through free flow until devasculariztion. Results Uterine myoma's blood supply came from bilaterial uterine arteries demonstrated by angiography. All the supplying artering images disappeared after the embolization. 3～6 months follow up study showed: a marked reduction in the size of myomata by 38%～90%. Clinical symptoms were improved. There was one failure cas and then underwent uterotomy due to infection. Conclusions The short term effect of using Bai Ji and absorbable Gelatin for embolizing uterine myoma is clinically significant, while long term effects is still wating for research.
