ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of propofol used as anesthesia and deep sedation during flexible bronchoscopy in children. METHODS: The clinical data of 206 children with atelectasis who underwent flexible bronchoscopic alveolar lavage in the Endoscopy Room of the Respiratory Department of Hebei Children's Hospital from January 2016 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Children for ASAⅠ/Ⅱ level were divided into two groups according to the sedation method :there were 106 cases in the propofol group(2 mg/kg)and 100 cases in the midazolam group(0.1 mg/kg).To compare the onset time of anesthetict,heart rate(HR),respiratory rate(RR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),percutaneous oxygen saturation(SPO2)before and after anesthesia induction(T0,T1),during endoscopy placement(T2)and after awakening(T3)at 4 time points,operative duration,the waked duration of postoperation,the rate of adverse reactions(hiccups,respiratory depression)in the operation and Ramsay score between two groups. All data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 statistical software.RESULTS:(1)There were statistically significant differences at the onset time of anestheticts,operative duration and the rate of side-effects between the two groups(P0.05).(2)There was no significant difference in MAP or SPO2 at time points of T0,T1,T2,T3(P>0.05),whereas the difference in HR and RR at time points of T1,T2,T3 between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)The sedative effect of propofol group was significantly better than that of midazolam group in Ramsay sedative scoring. CONCLUSION: Propofol used for anesthesia and deep sedation works fast,safely and effectively in flexible bronchoscopy for children;the time to gain consciousness is short,the operation time is short and there is fewer side effects,which is worth promoting.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the distribution of respiratory viruses on throat swabs in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 5,150 children with ALRTI who were admitted to Hebei Children's Hospital between March 2014 and February 2015 were enrolled to investigate the distribution of respiratory viruses in children with ALRTI. Direct immunofluorescence assay was performed for throat swabs from these children to detect influenza virus A (FA), influenza virus B (FB), adenovirus (ADV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and parainfluenza virus types 1, 2, and 3 (PIV-1, PIV-2, and PIV-3).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of all the 5,150 throat swabs from hospitalized children, 2,155 (41.84%) had positive virus detection results. RSV had the highest detection rate (1,338 cases/25.98%), followed by PIV-3 (439 cases/8.52%) and FA (166 cases/3.22%), and 29 patients had mixed infection with 2 viruses. With the increasing age, the detection rates of viruses tended to decrease (χ2=279.623; P<0.01). The positive rate of RSV increased gradually from September, and reached the peak value (60.09%) in November; the lowest positive rate occurred in June (1.51%). The positive rate of PIV-3 was the highest in May (21.38%) and the lowest in November (1.77%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The distribution of viruses in children with ALRTI varies with age and season, with RSV prevalence in autumn and winter and PIV-3 prevalence in spring and summer. RSV is the most common viral pathogen that causes ALRTI in hospitalized children.</p>
