ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatation tracheotomy in critical ill patients.Methods From January 2016 to January 2018,95 critical ill patients who were treated in the People's Hospital of Quzhou were selected.According to the random number table method,they were divided into control group (n =47) and observation group (n =48).The patients in the control group were treated with traditional tracheotomy,and the patients in the observation group were treated with percutaneous dilatation tracheotomy under ultrasonic guidance.The operation condition of the two groups was observed,including operative bleeding volume,operative time,incision length,extubation time,incision healing time,hospitalization time and so on.The postoperative complications and mortality were recorded in the two groups.Results The operative bleeding volume,operative time,incision length and incision healing time in the observation group were (12.91 ± 1.36) mL,(10.05 ± 1.14) min,(1.46 ± 0.32) cm,(5.48 ±0.39)d,respectively,which were lower than those in the control group[(38.54 ± 3.47)mL,(27.43 ±2.29) min,(3.25 ± 0.68) cm,(7.64 ± 0.72) d],there were statistically significant differences between the two groups(t =40.098,39.616,13.888,15.381,P =0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000).The extubation time,hospitalization time in the observation group were (14.19 ± 1.14)d,(20.17 ± 1.85)d,respectively,which in the control group were (14.23 ± 1.17) d,(20.26 ± 1.89) d,respectively,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (t =0.142,0.198,P =0.886,0.843).The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the observation group was 6.25％,which was lower than 21.28％ in the control group,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (x2 =9.515,P =0.002).The ICU mortality and hospitalization mortality in the observation group were 2.08％ and 4.17％,respectively,which in the control group were 10.64％ and 12.77％,respectively,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2 =2.937,2.277,P =0.087,0.131).Conclusion Ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy can improve operation condition,reduce hospitalization time,and has less complications,low mortality,which has good clinical value in critical ill care.
ABSTRACT
Objective To provide decision-making basis for promoting the rapid and healthy development of critical care medicine/intensive care unit (ICU) through discussing the mode of development and construction of the department of ICU.Methods The situations of ICU of Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from July 1994 to December 2016 were analyzed and summed up. Data of the situations in different development stages included the location and area of the ward, the number of beds, the number of physicians and nurses, the structure of academic titles and educational levels, the number of patients admitted to ICU per year, the proportion of patients used ventilator per year, the mortality, the mode of the discipline management, the number of medical postgraduates and undergraduates trained in the ICU, the number of teaching hours, the achievements, the number of research projects, the number of published monographs and papers, the number of the multicenter trials that we participated in, the construction of the team, the personal honor, and so on.Results From 1994 to 2016, the department of ICU had three development stages: the initial development stage of the discipline (from July 1994 to March 2005), the standardization development stage of the discipline (from April 2005 to December 2015), the acceleration development stage of the discipline (from December 2015 to December 2016). The scale of the department expanded from an open unit with 6 beds which was shared with the department of cardiothoracic surgery to 6 enclosed units with 90 beds which were managed independently by the intensivists. The area of thedepartment increased from less than 300 m2 to more than 7000 m2. There were 46 beds in the mixed ICU, which covered an area of 4210 m2. There was only one physician in 1994 while the number of the physicians increased to 19 in 2016. The number of nurses increased from 4 in 1994 to 69 in 2016. The proportion of highly educated talents significantly increased. Furthermore, from 1994 to 2016, the number of beds increased from 6 to 46; the number of patients admitted to ICU per year increased from 138 to 1080; and the number of patients used ventilator increased from 24 to 1057. The mean acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score was > 24.0 at admission, while < 12.6 at discharge. From 1997 to 2016, a total of 79 postgraduates had studied in the department, and 390 teaching hours we had undertaken. From 2011 to 2016, a total of 250 undergraduates had studied in the department, and 540 teaching hours we had undertaken. From 1994 to 2016, 8 achievements were obtained, 22 projects were undertook, 4 monographs were published, 6 books were edited that the physicians in the ICU as key editors, 104 papers were published, and 8 national multicenter trials that the physicians in the ICU were as key participants, and multiple team and individual honors were obtained.Conclusions The construction of ICU hardware is the basis and prerequisite for the development of the discipline and the construction of ICU software is the soul and motivation of the discipline. The operation indexes of clinical medical treatment, teaching and scientific researches reflect the overall operation status of the discipline and the hospital.
