ABSTRACT
Objective@#The successfully diagnosis and treatment of a woman with 38 weeks singleton pregnancy complicated with novel coronavirus pneumonia (critical type), and a case of neonatal pneumonia with 2019-nCoV infection were retrospectively analyzed.@*Methods@#The successfully diagnosis and treatment of a woman with 38 weeks singleton pregnancy complicated with novel coronavirus pneumonia (critical type), and a case of neonatal pneumonia with 2019-nCoV infection were retrospectively analyzed.@*Results@#A single male was successfully delivered at 38-week gestation of his mother by cesarean section under third level protection in operation room. The delivery woman was diagnosed with 2019-nCoV infection at day 2 of delivery. Dyspnea and severe hypoxemia soon developed, and invasive mechanical ventilation was given. After active rescue and treatment, the delivery woman had been taken off line successfully and the condition was stable. Pharyngeal swab specimen of the neonate was sent for examination 3 days after birth, and was positive for novel coronavirus nucleic acid by fluorescence reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction.@*Conclusion@#2019-nCoV may be transmitted vertically from mother to child.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of the patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), so as to provide basis for clinical diagnosis.Methods:The epidemiology, clinical symptoms, laboratory and radiologic data of 23 patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Fifth People's Hospital of Xinyang City from January 22nd to January 29th, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There was 23 patients with COVID-19, with 15 men and 8 women, and the median age was 46.0 (40.5, 52.0) years old (ranged from 27 years old to 80 years old). Nine patients had basic disease (39.1%), including hypertension (17.4%), cardiovascular diseases (17.4%), diabetes (8.7%), hypothyroidism (4.3%) and past history of tuberculosis (4.3%). All the 23 patients had contact history in Wuhan area or with confirmed cases. Clinical symptoms included fever (100%), cough (69.6%), expectoration (43.5%), myalgia (26.1%), headache (17.4%) and dyspnea (17.4%), and the less common symptom was diarrhea (4.3%). Blood routine tests showed leukocytopenia in 11 patients (47.8%), normal leukocyte counts in 10 patients (43.5%), and leukocytosis in 2 patients (8.7%); lymphopenia was found in 13 patients (56.5%). All 23 patients had different degrees of infective lesions in chest CT, with 7 patients (30.4%) on one side and 16 patients (69.6%) on both sides. There were 19 mild patients, 4 severe patients, and no critical or death case. Complications included acute respiratory distress syndrome (17.4%). No patient was reported with liver, kidney or heart dysfunction or secondary infection.Conclusions:Epidemic history of contact, fever, pneumonia signs of chest CT, normal or decreased count of leukocyte and lymphopenia are the clinical basis for diagnosis of COVID-19. However, at present, the treatment of patients has not been completed, and the effective treatment strategy and final prognosis are unclear.

All the 23 patients had contact history in Wuhan area or with confirmed infections. Clinical symptoms included: fever (100%), cough (70%), expectoration (43%), myalgia (26%), headache (17%) and dyspnea (17%), and the less common symptoms were diarrhea (4.3%). Blood routine test: white blood cells (WBC) < 4×10 9/L in 11 cases (48%), (4-10)×10 9/L in 10 cases (43%), >10 × 109/L in 2 cases (9%); lymphocytopenia in 13 cases (56%). All 23 patients had different degrees of infective lesions in chest CT examination, with 9 cases (39%) on one side and 14 cases (61%) on both sides. Classification: 19 mild cases, 4 severe cases, no critical or death case. Complications included acute respiratory distress syndrome [4 (17%)]. No case was reported with the damage of liver or kidney function and with secondary infection. Conclusions:Epidemic history of contact, fever, pneumonia signs of chest CT, normal or decreased count of WBC and lymphocytopenia are the clinical basis for diagnosis of the disease. However, at present, the treatment of patients has not been completed, the effective treatment strategy and final prognosis are not clear.
ABSTRACT
The Fresenius 4008 S hemodialysis machine is one of the main hemodialysis machines in our hospital. Because of its longer service life, the probability of malfunction is larger. For flow alarm is the typical fault of this model, we combined with practical maintenance experience and theoretical technology, then briefly analyzed and summarized the malfunction. On the principle of easy to difficult, we check in order from five aspects, they are pipeline blockage, aging of the degassing pump or flow pump, the float switch malfunction, valve abnormality and the control circuit problem. Through this one-by-one and systematic troubleshooting, the flow alarm can usually be solved, also we can save the maintenance time and the cost.

ABSTRACT
Critical care medicine is a relatively young, fast-growing discipline, but it also bears the burden of heavy life. In the past 10 years, critical care medicine has made rapid progress. It has been growing to be mature and complete, its environment and equipment have been improved, and the technical ability has been continuously upgraded. However, the rapid improvement and the diversification of management modes have also brought about some concerns about medical quality. Xinyang Central Hospital is a large prefecture-grade tertiary-class A general hospital in Henan Province. As the director of the department of critical care medicine and the discipline leader of critical care medicine in Xinyang City, the author shared his opinion about how to establish a "standardized, institutionalized and procedural"management model from the perspective of department management in order to ensure medical quality and safety. We should "start from the quality control of critical care medicine, implement the concept of critical care through ward rounds, supervise the quality from the self-examination and self-correction of adverse events", in order to establish a management system for critical care patients and lay a foundation for improving medical quality and sustainable developing of critical care medicine.

MAP, HR, ECG, cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), PAP, PCWP, CVP, SVR, PVR and DO_2,VO_2, O_2-extraction rate (O_2 ER) were measured and/or calculated immediately after operation (T_1), 16 h (T_2 ),24 h (T_3 ) and 40 h (T_4 ) after operation. Results VAS scores were significantly lower in PCIA group than thosein IM group at T_(2, 3, 4) (P
