ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of thrombus aspiration technique in emergency percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction ( STEMI ) .Methods According to the digital table ,48 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction were randomly into 22 cases of control group ( routine stent implantation ) and 26 cases of observation group ( thrombus aspiration and then stent implantation ) .The changes of TIMI grading , left ventricular ejection fraction , NT -ProBNP were compared between the two groups . Results There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05).The proportion of TIMI grade III of immediate blood flow in the observation group after operation was higher than that in the control group(26 cases vs.16 cases,χ2 =4.810,P<0.05).The LVEF values of the observation group and the control group at 1 week after operation were better than those after 24 h,but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=1.803,1.796,all P>0.05).The level of NT-ProBNP at 1 week after operation in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(271.2 ±35.5)pg/mL vs.(806.5 ±65.8)pg/mL,t=3.154,P<0.05].Conclusion The thrombus aspiration technique can obviously reduce the occurrence of the "no reflow"in STEMI patients with high thrombus load receive PPCI ,improve the heart function .
ABSTRACT
Objective This study will compare crystalloid to colloid for goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) in cesarean section under combined spinal epidural anesthesia,and to discuss which type of fluid is more effective to prevent perioperative hypotention.Methods We randomly assigned 60 patients (ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ) scheduled undergoing cesarean section into two groups:colloid group and crystalloid group.The colloid group received balanced 6％ HES (130/0.4,Volulyte) and Lactated Ringer's solution (LR),while the crystalloid group just received LR as haemodynamic optimization fluid.The primary outcomes included the incidence of maternal hypotension,and vasopressor doses prior to delivery.The secondary outcomes included umbilical blood gas abnormalities,neonatal Apgar grade and adverse events.Results The impact fluid volume,total liquid volume and urine volume in the crystalloid group were more than those in the colloid group (P ＜ 0.05).No statistical difference was seen in the number of patients who showed hypotension,vomiting and nausea between two groups.And there was no significant difference in the incidence of neonatal adverse effects between two groups.Conclusions No evidence showed that colloid had more advantages in GDFT for patients received cesarean section under combined spinal epidural anesthesia,except that the volume of colloid input was less than crystalloid.
ABSTRACT
Regional cerebral oxygenation(rSO2) is widely used in the monitoring of cerebral blood flow,which is not affected by temperature and pulsatile blood flow.rSO2monitoring gives us a new way to monitor the oxygenation status of brain regions.But,currently,rSO2research in the neonates is rare.This pa-per summarized the different pathological conditions influence on early neonatal rSO2,clarified the important clinical significance of monitoring of neonatal rSO2and the future application was prospected.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the protective effect of gradual ischemic postconditioning (IP) capable of improving reperfusion on reperfusion injury in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMl) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).Methods 102 in-patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI in the Department of Cardiology in the First People's Hospital of Kunshan City Affiliated to Jiangsu University from February 2011 to August 2014 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into three groups by a random number table: IP group (32 cases), gradual IP group (30 cases) and routine reperfusion group (40 cases). In IP group, after the opening of the infarction related blood vessel, ischemic postconditioning within the first minute of arterial reperfusion was made through three episodes of 1 minute inflation and 1 minute pressure withdrawn of an angioplasty balloon, and then persistent reperfusion was carried out. In the gradual IP group, the patients received three times of gradual angioplasty balloon inflation and denation, 1 minute/1minute, 30 seconds/30 seconds and 15 seconds/15 seconds respectively, presenting the gradual change of IP time. In the routine reperfusion group, after the opening of blocked blood vessel, the patients underwent routine PCI to persistently recover the coronary artery blood supply. The changes of related lead ST segment regression (Sum-STR), incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia, corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) franle count (CTFC), peaks of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and frequency of adverse events in follow-up period were compared among the three groups.Results The baseline characteristics were comparable in three groups. The incidence of ventricular premature beats was significantly lower in gradual IP group than that in routine reperfusion group [30.0% (9/30) vs. 55.0% (22/40),P 0.05). The incidence of ventricular tachycardia was significantly lower in IP and gradual IP groups than that in routine reperfusion group [15.6% (5/32), 13.3% (4/30) vs. 40.0% (16/40), bothP 0.05). In IP group and gradual IP group, the Sum-STR incidence, CTFC, CK-MB peaks were lower than those of routine reperfusion group [Sum-STR: (56.7±18.3)%, (57.3±21.5)% vs. (44.6±21.6)%; CTFC: 25.47±5.37, 24.46±6.41 vs. 31.62±7.56; CK-MB peaks (U/L): 126.3±78.5, 121.6±82.5 vs. 147.4±72.5; allP 0.05). In routine reperfusion group, one patient died because the ventricular fibrillation could not be corrected and another one died of no-reflow during operation. Each group had 1 patient died during the 4 weeks of follow-up after operation, in the routine reperfusion group, one died of refractory heart failure, and the cause of death of other two patients, one in IP group and another in gradual IP group, was considered due to subacute thrombosis in stent. Major bleeding events were not found in each group.Conclusion Gradual IP can ameliorate myocardial reperfusion injury more significantly in patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the safety,feasibility and efficacy of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)on the spot in the patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)in country hospitals by interventional cardiologists from higher-level hospitals(converse transport).Methods A total of 81 AMI patients received emergency PCI on the spot by interventional cardiologists from other higher-level hospitals (transported doctors)from Mar 2004 to Sep 2008 in our hospital.The mean age of patients was 68.6 ± 3.6 years (36.0-83.0 years).Forty-six patients were male and 35 were female.There were 56 cases with anterior myocardial infarction and 25 with inferior myocardial infarction(including 11 cases combined with right ventricular infarction).The average time from symptom onset to admission was 6.2 ± 1.8 hours(2.0-12.0hours).Results Three cases were transported to higher-level hospitals for CABG because of severe conditions.The other 78 cases received emergency PCI on the spot,among whom 66 cases received primary PCI.Another 12 cases received rescue PCI.Eight one stents were implanted in total into the infarcted arteries.One operation was failed because the balloon could not go through the lesion.The success.rate was 98.7％.Four patients occurred peri-operative cardiac adverse events and 2 cases died.Four cases died during the 32-86 months follow-up,of whom I was cardiac death and 3 was non-cardiac deaths.No fatal cardiovascular events occurred in the remained cases.Conclusion Emergency PCI on the spot by interventional cardiologists from other cities(converse transport PCI)in AMI is safe,feasible and effective.But it needs to be confirmed in a large-scale study in the future.
