ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with serious interstitial lung diseases (SILD).Methods:The clinical data of 43 patients with SILD hospitalized in the respiratory intensive care unit of the Characteristic Medical Center of The Chinese People's Armed Police Force from January 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. According to the prognosis, the patients were divided into the death group and non-death group.Results:The included 43 patients include 31 cases of acute exacerbation of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (AE-IIP), 18 cases of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and 16 cases of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), in which 40% were aggravated due to co-infection and 33 patients were dead. The results showed that there was no significant difference between death and non-death patients in age, gender, smoking, hospitalization time, duration, clinical symptoms and signs, blood T lymphocyte subsets, co-infection, mechanical ventilation and glucocorticoid dose (all P>0.05), and there were significant differences in arterial partial pressure of oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO 2/FiO 2) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) (all P<0.05). The PaO 2/FiO 2 level in the dead patients was lower, who often accompanied by type Ⅱ respiratory failure. Conclusions:AE-IIP was more common in patients with SILD, and most of their chest images were consistent with UIP and NSIP. Pulmonary infection is a common cause of acute exacerbation of SILD, and type II respiratory failure in the progress of the disease is a sign of poor prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To retrieve and analyze the available evidence on prevention of needlestick injuries among healthcare workers and summarize the best available evidence.Methods We searched the BMJ best practice,Uptodata,Cochrane Library(2014),Joanna Briggs Institute Library,Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario,Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network,National Guideline Clearinghouse,and complementally searched the PubMed,EM-base,CNKI and Centers for Disease Control to collect literatures including guideline,evidence summary,best practice information sheet,recommended practice and systematic review.Results Nine references were selected including a clinical decision support system,3 evidence summaries,2 recommended practices and 3 systematic review.Finally,7 items of best evidence were summarized,including:wearing double gloves,never recapping needles,using blunt-tip suture,using a neutral zone for passing sharp device,adopting the safety features of sharps,using sharp disposal containers,and continuous education for needlestick injuries.Conclusion Healthcare workers should regulate their behaviors of using sharp instruments during clinical practice and guarantee personal safety by consulting high level evidence.
