ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the health care workers'(HCWs) knowledge and attitude towards perioperative warming as well as patients' warming status, provide reference for warming in perioperative period and reduce surgical site infection(SSI).Methods Convenience sampling was used to select 198 HCWs in surgical department and operating room as well as 160 patients undergoing operation.HCWs were investigated by referring foreign literatures and designing questionnaires, on-site observation method was used to collect information about warming measures implemented for surgical patients.Results The median (quartile range) of scores of HCWs' knowledge and attitude towards patients' perioperative warming were 9 (2.25) and 25 (1.25) respectively.There was no statistical significance in scores of knowledge and attitude among HCWs with different age, education degree and occupation(all P>0.05).The awareness rates of hypothermia, active warming, and passive warming modes were 21.21%, 43.94%, and 30.81% respectively.80.30%, 89.90%, and 86.36% of HCWs thought that it was essential to keep warming before, during and after surgery.68.13% of surgical patients were warmed by covering cotton quilt and shoulder pad during operation.Conclusion HCWs hold positive attitude towards perioperative warming, but they lack sufficient knowledge about perioperative warming, it is necessary to improve facilities of perioperative warming.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influential factors on congenital gastrointestinal malformation and to provide evidences for prevention.Methods A hospital-based case-control study was conducted among infants with or without congenital gastrointestinal malformation at Children's hospital of Hunan province,from April 2011 to August 2012.Parents of 120 cases with congenital gastrointestinal malformation and another 170 controls were asked to fill in a questionnaire.Data was analyzed using SPSS 18.0 software.Results Congenital gastrointestinal malformation was associated with intakes of maternal medication (OR=3.35,95％CI:1.51-7.41) and folic acid (OR=0.28,95％CI:0.15-0.52),exposure to paints (OR=5.05,95％CI:1.32-19.29) and pesticides (OR=15.20,95％CI:1.55-148.99) prior to or during pregnancy,and also associated with medication intake of the father (OR=3.70,95％CI:1.13-12.10),smoking (OR=2.39,95％CI:1.24-4.62),drinking alcohol (OR=2.47,95％CI:1.20-5.07),exposure to the agents for indoor cleaning (OR=16.42,95％ CI:1.71-157.92) and exposure to paints (OR=9.92,95％ CI:2.66-36.98) before conception.Conclusion Congenital gastrointestinal malformation was affected by multiple factors.Potential risk factors for congenital gastrointestinal malformation would include intakes of medication by the pregnant mother,exposure to paints exposure and pesticide exposure before or during pregnancy,and medication intake by the father,smoking,drinking alcohol,exposure to indoor cleaning agents/paint before conception.The amount of folic acid intake by mother before or during pregnancy was likely to reduce the risk for congenital gastrointestinal malformation.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:In various clinical treatments of soft tissue defects, vacuum sealing drainage technology can effectively control wound infection, shorten the treatment time, and accelerate wound healing. OBJECTIVE:To further understand the features and characteristics of hydrated ethanol polyethylene foam vacuum sealing drainage treatment, and compare the treatment effects against soft tissue defects with the conventional dressing change treatment. METHODS:A total of 140 cases of large soft tissue defects were divided randomly into two groups. Observation group received hydrated ethanol polyethylene foam vacuum sealing drainage treatment, while control group was treated by conventional dressing change. The degree of pain relief during treatment, the family satisfaction, the survival rate of first skin-grafting, the time needed before skin-grafting, the hospitalization time, the number of operations, the readmission rates, the complication rate and other clinical effectiveness indicators were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the observation group, visual analog scale scores decreased 5.76±0.68, in the control group visual analog scale score decreased 2.85±0.53, with significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05), and family satisfaction degree of the observation group was higher (P < 0.05). The survival rate of first skin-grafting of the observation group was higher than the control group (P < 0.05), the time needed before skin-grafting, the hospitalization time, the number of operations, the readmission rates, and the complication rate were lower than the control group (P < 0.05). The results showed that, compared with conventional dressing change treatment, hydrated ethanol polyethylene foam vacuum sealing drainage has advantages of light pain, short treatment time, low rate of complications, and high efficacy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore divest arcuate edge orbicularis muscle surgery reconstructive treatment of the symptoms of clinical efficacy and recovery.Methods 80 patients with tear trough and palphromalar groove pouch,according to the operation method,were divided into group A and group B.The patients received stripped arcuate margin of orbicularis oculi muscle operation and true orbital fat too much fat operation,operation treatment,respectively.The satisfaction and revisit the rebound rate of the two groups after surgery were compared.Results Of 40 patients in A group,37 cases (92.5％)were satisfied with the treatment,general satisfaction in 3 cases (7.5％),0 case (0.0％) was not satisfactory.In B group,28 cases (62.5％)were satisfied with the treatment,general satisfaction in 9 cases (22.5％),3 cases (15.0％)were not satisfactory.The clinical efficacy between the two groups was significantly different(Z =18.481,P ＜ 0.01).During follow-up,in A group,one case (2.5％)relapsed.In B group,7 cases (17.5％) relapsed after 2 years.The postoperative recurrence rate between the two groups had significant difference (Z =7.314,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For patients with tear trough and palpbromalar groove pouch,treatment by stripping arcuate margin of orbicularis oculi muscle operation method can effectively correct the tear trough and palabromalar groove deformity postoperative reduction performance,has high degree of satisfaction,the recurrence rate is low,the clinical effect is significant,it is worthy of further clinical application and research.
