ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of individualized blood pressure management on postoperative delirium in elderly hypertensive patients undergoing radical resection for gastrointestinal tumor.Methods:One hundred and sixty elderly hypertensive patients of both sexes, aged 60-80 yr, with body mass index of 19-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective radical resection for gastrointestinal tumor under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=80 each) using a random number table method: standardized blood pressure management group (group S) and individualized blood pressure management group (group I). Combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was performed, and BIS values were maintained at 40-60 and heart rate at 50-100 times/min during surgery in both groups. In group S, intraoperative systolic blood pressure was maintained above 90 mmHg with a decrease of less than 30% of the baseline value, while intraoperative fluctuation of systolic blood pressure was maintained less than 10% of the baseline value in group I. The use of vasoactive agents, numerical rating scale scores within 3 days after operation, and length of hospital stay were recorded. Postoperative delirium was evaluated by Confusion Assessment Method within 5 days after surgery. Results:Compared with group S, the intraoperative usage rate of norepinephrine was significantly increased, the incidence of postoperative delirium was reduced( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the numerical rating scale scores and length of hospital stay in group I ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Individualized blood pressure management can reduce the development of postoperative delirium in elderly hypertensive patients undergoing radical resection for gastrointestinal tumor.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To estimate and summarize the evidence for the blood pressure in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm bleeding, to provide valuable reference for clinical care and improve the prognosis of patients.Methods:BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, Chinese Guideline Website, Cochrane Library, PubMed, American Stroke Association, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database and VIP Database were utilized for screening out evidences of blood pressure management strategies for patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm bleeding from database establishment to December 8, 2020. The source of evidences included guidelines, evidence summarization, information brochure of optimal clinical practice, recommended practice, systematic review and original research. Upon the assessment of the included literature, the evidences meeting the enrollment criterion would be identified and extracted.Results:There were 9 articles involved in this research and 20 evidences possessing clinical applicability were extracted. The evidences involved in clinical assessment, regulation tenets, intervention protocol, and nursing to prevent complications in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm bleeding.Conclusions:To summarize, we suggested strongly to evaluate the individual differences in age, underlying diseases and pharmacological tolerance, and to effectivelly control blood pressure in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm bleeding through scientific nursing methods, which could improve the nursing qualification.
ABSTRACT
Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular condition. The elevated blood pressure plays an important role in the development and the formation of aortic dissection, thus treatment of aortic dissection requires the management of blood pressure control. In this paper, we reported the current situation and summarized the influencing factors of blood pressure management in the treatment of patients with aortic dissection. Suggestions were provided to improve the management of blood pressure control and to support the future research in China.
