ABSTRACT
Because of the widespread development and application of rapid response system (RRS) in medical institutions in developed countries, such as Europe, America and Australia, the clinical adverse events (cardiac arrest, accidental death, etc.) in hospital patients have been reduced and improved. Meanwhile, the hospitalization rate and mortality rate of intensive care unit in hospital patients have been reduced, thus shortening the hospitalization time and reducing the medical expenses. Nevertheless, RRS is still in the exploration stage in our country. Therefore, the article reviews the RRS model and application development.
ABSTRACT
Hospital acquired conditions(HACs)are a common headache for hospitals,which often give rise to waste of medical resources and additional payment of medical insurance funds,as well as deterioration of patient safety and doctor-patient relations.These aftermaths have made HACs a high priority in hospitals management worldwide,as they are tightening control of HACs,reducing medical resource waste,improving quality of care,and enhancing patient safety.That is why HACs are so important for us.
ABSTRACT
A new type of gastric electrical stimulator (GES) was introduced. After the stimulator was implanted in beagle dogs, its stimulating effects and the pathological changes at the implant site were observed to study the safety and efficacy of stimulator as well as the tissue compatibility of the materials used. The results showed that, this type of stimulator was safe and capable of inhibiting food intake of the dogs, and that the materials used had good tissue compatibility.
