ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the timing and safety of limited-period lung cancer surgery in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Methods Clinical data of of patients infected with COVID-19 undergoing lung cancer surgery (an observation group) in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, the Department of Thoracic Surgery of General Hospital of Southern Theater Command of PLA, and the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University from December 2022 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed and compared with patients who underwent surgery during the same period but were not infected with COVID-19 (a control group), to explore the impact of COVID-19 infection on lung cancer surgery. Results We finally included 110 patients with 73 patients in the observation group (28 males and 45 females at age of 52.62±12.80 years) and 37 patients in the control group (22 males and 15 females at age of 56.84±11.14 years). The average operation time of the observation group was longer than that of the control group, and the incidence of anhelation was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). There were no statistcal differences in blood loss, length of hospital stay, moderate or above fever rate, degree of cough and chest pain, or blood routine between the two groups. Conclusion It is safe and feasible to perform lung cancer surgery early after recovery for COVID-19 patients with lung cancer.
ABSTRACT
@#Giant thoracic tumor is currently one of the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of thoracic surgery, with no established guideline or standard for diagnosis and treatment. The quality control of individualized surgical strategy and perioperative management with multi-disciplinary participation is the key to ensure the safety and improve the prognosis of patients. Based on the clinical experience of our institution and others, we hereby discussed and summarized the basic principles, surgical strategies and perioperative management of giant thoracic tumor, aiming to provide a reference of quality control.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application value of enhanced recovery after surgery with no gastrointestinal decompression tube and with early postoperative oral feeding in minimally invasive radical resectionof esophageal cancer.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 126 patients who underwent minimally invasive McKeown surgery in the General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA between March 2016 and October 2017 were collected.There were 80 males and 46 females,aged from 52 to 82 years,with an average age of 64 years.Of 126 patients,82 undergoing "li's anastomosis" with no gastrointestinal decompression tube and receiving early postoperative oral feeding were allocated into non-tube no fasting group,and 44 undergoing end-to-side gastroesophageal anastomosis with tubular stapler,conventionally indwelling gastrointestinal decompression tube,and beginning oral feeding at 1 week after surgery were allocated into traditional treatment group.Observation indicators:(1) surgical and postoperative recovery situations;(2) results of pathological examination;(3) follow-up.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect the postoperative tumor recurrence and metastasis up to October 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean ± SD,and comparison between groups was analyzed using independent sample t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M (range),and comparison between groups was analyzed by rank sum test.Count data were described as absolute number or percentage,and comparison between groups was analyzed using chi-square test.Ordinal data were analyzed by rank sum test.Results (1) Surgical and postoperative recovery situations:patients in the two groups underwent minimally invasive McKeown surgery successfully.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,incidence of anastomotic fistula,incidence of pulmonary complications,and duration of postoperative hospital stay were respectively (326±41) minutes,(225±96) ml,7.3 ％ (6/82),24.4％ (20/82),and 10 days (range,6-90 days) in the non-tube no fasting group and (317± 37) minutes,(214 ± 66) mL,9.1％ (4/44),20.5％ (9/44),and 14 days (range,10-42 days) in the traditional treatment group;there was a statistically significant difference in duration of postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (Z =-7.129,P ＜ 0.05) and no statistically significant difference in operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,incidence of anastomotic fistula,and incidence of pulmonary complications between the two groups (t =1.311,0.703,x2 =0.000,0.077,P＞0.05).(2) Results of pathological examination:the number of lymph node dissected,cases in postoperative TNM stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ were respectively 27±5,12,55,15 in the non-tube no fasting group and 26±5,9,28,7 in the traditional treatment group,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups (t =0.549,Z =-0.747,P＞0.05).(3) Follow-up:of 126 patients,116 were followed up for 12-31 months,with a median time of 20 months,including 76 in the non-tube no fasting group and 40 in the traditional treatment group.During the follow-up,no tumor recurrence or metastasis was found in the 116 patients.Conclusion The enhanced recovery after surgery with no gastrointestinal decompression tube and with early postoperative oral feeding is safe and feasible in the McKeown surgery,which can significantly shorten the postoperative hospitalization time compared with the traditional treatment.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo discuss the quantitative criteria of grading nursing of three common psychiatric diseases in psychiatric department. MethodsUsing SI、N-BPRS,BRMS and HAMD scales to evaluate180 patients with schizophrenia,mania and depression upon admission and after admission.The quantitative evaluation of grading nursing of these three diseases was compared. ResultsFor the three common mental diseases N- BPRS scale scores were as follows.Superfine nursing:schizophrenia (80.66+11.22)points; mania (80.05± 15.44)points; depression (76.88±9.82)points.Primary care:schizophrenia (67.47± 10.18)points; mania ( 62.91 ± 10.19 )points; depression ( 56.63±9.52 )points; Secondary nursing:schizophrenia ( 44.04 ±8.67 )points;mania( 39.57±9.47 )points ;depression( 37.73±7.75 )points.The three- level nursing:schizophrenia( 27.97±2.19 )points;mania(27.89±2.28)points;depression(27.45±1.31 )points. ConclusionsUsing evaluating scores of NBPRS scale to determine the quantitative criteria of grading nursing of three common psychiatric diseases is a feasible choice,after training,nurses of high qualification can grasp skillfully the operation process.
