ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after endovascular therapy in patients with peripheral arterial diseases and to evaluate the conformance of serum cystatin C (Cys C) and serum creatinine in diagnosis of CIN. Methods In this prospective,single center study,in-hospital patients with peripheral arterial diseases undergoing non-emergency endovascular therapy from July 2010 to April 2011 in our hospital were enrolled.CIN was defined asScr increase ≥25％ after angiography.General clinical characteristics and blood biochemical parameters were compared between the non-CIN and CIN groups.Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors.Changes compared to baseline level in serum creatinine and Cys C at predefined time-points were evaluated.Results A total of 367 patients were enrolled in the study.The proportions of patients with diabetes mellims and treatment with diuretics before angiography,contrast-media dosage were significantly higher in the CIN group than those in non-CIN group (P＜0.05,＜0.01,＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis indicated that diabetes mellitus,contrast-media dosage were risk factors for CIN.Several serum Cys C increase criteria at 24 hours after contrast media exposure all had low sensitivity for predicting a Scr increase ≥25％.Only small overlapped regions were found in Venn diagram between several increasing criteria according to serum Cys C and serum creatinine criterion. Conclusions Diabetes mellitus,contrast-media dosage are independent risk factors for CIN.The results of several increasing criteria according to serum Cys C in evaluating contrast-induced AKI are not coincident well with that of serum creatinine criterion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the nursing experience in prehospital first-aid of patients with cardiac traumas in order to improve the cooperation capability of prehospital first-aid. Methods The nursing cooperation of prehospital first-aid of 33 patients with cardiac trauma was analyzed retrospec-tively. Results 24 cases of them were rescued successfully, and were completely recovered without se-quelas. 4 cases complicated with severe multiple trauma, died after arriving at hospital, and 3 cases com-plicated with multiple trauma died of complications, while 2 cases with injury of thoracic aorta died during the surgery. Conclusions Early emergency treatment and judgment of traumatic condition could pro-vide valuable chance for inhospital first-aid.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo study the mastery, acquiring ways and need of studying the knowl-edge and skill of emergency treatment in non- medical junior college and technical secondary school students. MethodsThe survey was carried out in 600 non-medical junior college and technical sec-ondary school students to investigate their mastery and need of emergency knowledge, the results underwent analysis. ResultsThe mastery of the emergency knowledge was uneven in non- medical junior college and technical secondary school students. 100.0% of them can call 120 correcdy, 58.5% of them mastered the e-mergency treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning, and 25.0% mastered cardiac pulmonary resuscitation. All the students desired to hold the knowledge and skill of emergency treatment. Television, broadcast and internet were the main ways for them to master emergency knowledge. ConclusionsThe mastery of the knowledge and skill of emergency treatment is not good. It is urgent to educate and train them with the knowledge and skill of emergency treatment, and to improve knowledge and skill of emergency treatment.
