ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the perception status of inpatients to nurses' caring behavior, and analyze the correlation between them and nurse-patient relationship trust degree. Methods:Adopting general information questionnaire, Caring Behaviors Inventory ( CBI) , nurse-patient relationship trust scale, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 226 inpatients in a third class A tertiary hospital in Tianjin. Results:The total score of ca-ring behavior perception was (96. 92 ± 15. 68), and among the four dimensions, the perception of patients to nur-ses' knowledge and skills was deepest, the perception to nurse' s contact with patients was worst; total score of nurse-patient trust scale was (124. 75 ± 19. 13). There was a positive correlation between the total score of pa-tients' caring perception and nurse-patient relationship trust degree (r=0. 554);multiple linear stepwise regres-sion analysis showed respect for patients, support and assurance were the main factors influencing the nurse-pa-tient relationship trust degree. Conclusion:The patients' perception on nurses' caring behavior and nurse-pa-tient relationship trust degree is closely related. Nurses should carry out targeted care to patients with different char-acteristics to improve patients' trust to nurses and construct a harmonious nurse-patient relationship.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with respiratory failure.Methods Sixty patients with COPD respiratory failure were randomly divided into two groups.30 cases in the conventional treatment group used conventional comprehensive therapy.30 cases in the nonfinvasive mechanical ventilation group were given noninvasive mechanical ventilation based on conventional treatment.The total effective rate,time to correct the abnormal breathing,hospitalization time were compared between the two groups.Before and after treatment,the arterial blood gas analysis indicators and heart rate,respiratory rate,probability,mortality for ventilator ventilation were compared in the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the noninvasive mechanical ventilation group was 96.67％,which was higher than 73.33％ of the conventional treatment group(x2 =6.405,P ＜ 0.05).The time to correct the abnormal breathing,hospitalization time of noninvasive mechanical ventilation group were (5.51 ± 1.41) d,(9.51 ± 2.13) d,respectively,which were shorter than (9.39 ± 2.56) d,(12.99 ± 3.57) d of the conventional treatment group (t =8.223,9.633,all P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,the arterial blood gas analysis parameters and heart rate had no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the frequency of PaCO2,PaO2,heart rate and respiratory rate in the conventional treatment group were (60.45 ± 3.94)mmHg,(60.24 ± 4.12)mmHg,(92.58 ± 0.61)times/min,(22.45 ± 3.14)times/min,respectively,which in the noninvasive mechanical ventilation group were (52.24 ± 1.23) mmHg,(76.24 ± 5.26) mmHg,(83.92 ± 0.62) times/min,(17.26 ± 2.23) times/min,respectively,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t =5.133,3.734,5.166,6.360,all P ＜ 0.05).The invasive rate of invasive ventilator and mortality of noninvasive mechanical ventilation group were 3.33％ and 0.00％,respectively,which were lower than 20.00％,13.33％ of the conventional treatment group (x2 =7.214,6.247,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is effective in treatment of patients with COPD respiratory failure,which can effectively improve the indicators of arterial blood gas and heart rate and respiratory rate,improve the prognosis of patients,improve the ventilation probability of invasive ventilator.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the relationship between airway obstruction and peripheral arterial stiffness in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Ninetyeight elderly patients with COPD were enrolled.The patients were divided into two groups according to forced expired volume in 1 second (FEV1) percentage of predicted (FEV1 ％):mild-moderate group (FEV1 ％ ≥ 50％,62 cases) and severe group (FEV1％ ＜ 50％,36 cases).The brachium-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV),body mass index (BMI),24 h average heart rate,blood level of lipid,fasting blood glucose,arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) level were compared between two groups.Results Compared with mild-moderate group,the BMI in sever group was lower:(22.9 ± 4.3) kg/m2 vs.(25.4 ± 3.3) kg/m2,24 h average heart rate was higher:(77.5 ± 12.8) times/rmin vs.(70.7 ± 9.5) times/min,PaO2 was lower:(71.7 ± 13.1) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(84.5 ± 13.2) mmHg,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The baPWV in mild-moderate group was (18.9 ± 4.2) m/s,and in sever group was (21.8 ± 3.6) m/s,and there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).The hs-CRP in miid-moderate group was (6.62 ± 4.57) mg/L,and in sever group was (3.38 ± 2.13) mg/L,and there was statistical difference (P＜ 0.05).Conclusions The morbidity of peripheral arterial stiffness is increased in elderly patients with COPD.Progression of peripheral arterial stiffness is related to the severity of airway obstruction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of chronic low-frequency electrical stimulation on the structural and metabolic changes of diaphragm of emphysema rabbits.Methods The rabbit model of emphysema was made by papain-inhaling of ultrasonic atomization once a week for 3 weeks in 30 adult Japanese rabbits,6 receiving 10 Hz chronic low frequency electrical stimulation,6 receiving 40 Hz,and 6 receiving(10+40)Hz.Other 6 emphysema rabbits and 6 normal rabbits served as control.An enzyme chemical method was used to observe the changes in the enzyme activities of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase,succinate dehydrogenase(SDH)and the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and changes in MHC in control group,emphysema group,and emphysema+chronic low frequency electrical stimulation group.Results Following chronic electrical stimulation using 40 Hz,10 Hz,and(10+40)Hz,the relative contents of MHC were increased in the diaphragmatic muscle of rabbits with emphysema.The percentage of MHC-Ⅰ was significantly increased in the 10 Hz group,while that of MHC-Ⅱa was significantly increased in the(10+40)Hz group.Following chronic electrical stimulation using 40 Hz and(10+40)Hz,diaphragmatic muscle SR Ca2+-ATPase activity was increased in rabbits with emphysema(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of chronic electrical stimulus (CES) of low frequency and physiological frequency on diaphragmatic subtype of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and mechanical characteristic in rabbits with emphysema. Methods The rabbit model of emphysema was made by inhaling papain of ultrasonic atomization once a week for 3 weeks in 30 adult Japanese rabbits, 6 receiving 10 Hz chronic low-frequency electrical stimulation, 6 receiving 40 Hz, 6 receiving 10 Hz plus 40 Hz. Another 6 emphysema rabbits and 6 normal rabbits served as control. The twitch tension (Pt), titanic tension (Po), time to peak tension (TPT), half-relaxation time (1/2Rt), fatigue index (FI) and fatigue recovery index (FRI) were measured and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to observe the changes in subtype of MHC in control group, emphysema group, CES groups respectively. Results ①Following chronic electrical stimulus of 40 Hz, 10 Hz, and (10+40) Hz, the relative contents of MHC were increased in diaphragmatic muscle of rabbits with emphysema. The percentage of MHC-I was significantly increased in the 10 Hz group, while that of MHC-I and MHC-IIa were significantly increased in the (10+40) Hz group. ②Following chronic electrical stimulation using 40 Hz and (10+40)Hz, diaphragmatic muscle Pt and Po were significantly increased in rabbits with emphysema, TPT and 1/2Rt were significantly reduced, and FI and FRI were significantly decreased (P
