ABSTRACT
AIM To investigate the effects of Shuxuening Injection (Ginkgo biloba extract) combined with ganglioside on cerebral oxygen utilization coefficient (O2UCc) and lactate clearance rate (LCR) in patients with acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning (ASCOP).METHODS Two hundred and sixty-two patients with ASCOP treated in emergency department of Harrison International Peace Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University from Mar 2011 to Mar 2016 were randomly divided into control group,Shuxuening Injection group,ganglioside group and Shuxuening Injection combined with ganglioside (combined medication) group.The changes were detected in oxygen saturations of carotid blood and jugular blood,arterial blood lactic acid,O2UCc and LCR in all patients before and 6,24 hours,3 days after the treatment.The clinical symptoms,and the mortality and morbidity of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning after two weeks were observed.RESULTS Total effective rate of the combined medication group was higher than that of the other groups.O2 Ucc at 6,24 hours after the treatment in the combined medication group were significantly lower than those in the other groups,so did the mortality and morbidity of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning,but LCR was significantly higher than that in the other groups.All the differences had statistical significances.CONCLUSION The efficacy of combined medication of Shuxuening Injection and ganglioside in ASCOP patients is better than that of applying single administration separately.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the dynamic change in cerebral oxygen utilization coefficient (O2UCc) in the early stage of acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning (ASCMP) and its value in predicting delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) .@*Methods@#A prospective observational study was conducted for patients with ASCMP who were admitted to our hospital from November 2013 to March 2016, and their baseline features and physiological parameters were recorded. Observation ended at two months after acute poisoning; according to the presence or absence of DEACMP, the patients were divided into DEACMP group with 21 patients and non-DEACMP group with 64 patients. The change in O2UCc was monitored on admission and at 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Spearman correlation was used to investigate the correlation between O2UCc and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of O2UCc in predicting DEACMP.@*Results@#Both groups had a significant increase in O2UCc on admission, and the DEACMP group had a significantly greater increase than the non-DEACMP group (52.57%±9.30% vs 41.46±%6.37%, P<0.05) . Then both groups tended to have a reduction in O2UCc, and the DEACMP group had a significantly higher O2UCc than the non-DEACMP group at 6, 24, and 48 hours (47.40%±7.92%, 39.38%±8.01%, and 32.29%±6.31% vs 34.51%±7.89%, 28.79%±5.4%, and 27.72%±5.46%, P<0.05) . On admission and at 6, 24, and 48 hours, O2UCc was positively correlated with APACHE II score (r=0.304, 0.398, 0.426, and 0.300, P=0.005, 0.000, 0.000, and 0.005) . The ROC curve showed that O2UCc had a value in predicting DEACMP on admission and at 6, 24, and 48 hours, and 6-hour O2UCc had the highest predictive value with an area under the ROC curve of 0.870 (95% confidence interval 0.794-0.947, P<0.05) .@*Conclusion@#The dynamic change in O2UCc has a reference value in early identification of DEACMP, and O2UCc can be used as an important reference index for predicting DEACMP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP) on oxygen utiliza-tion coefficient in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). Methods 28 ARDS patients with me-chanical ventilation were studied. Catheter of central vein was laid. Increment levels of PEEP(0,5, 10, 15 and 20cmH2O) were applied sequentially. Hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism parameters were measured and calcula-tion of O2 UC [O2 UC = (SaO2 -SvO2.)/SaO2] were carried out respectively. O2 UC in 30 normal subject groups were carried out. Results Arterial oxygen tension(PaO2) increased significantly(P < 0.05) at PEEP 5cmH2O. Oxygen u-tilization coefficient (O2 UC), heart rate(HR) and mean blood pressure (MBP) were not significantly different (P >0.05) at PEEP 10cmH2O. At PEEP 15cmH2 O, O2UC and HR increased significantly (P < 0.05), but M BP reduced obviously(P < 0.05). Conclusions Too high PEEP can result in oxygen utilization coefficient of ARDS patient de-acend furthur, can not really correct oxygen difieiency condition in patients' organization cell. The optimal PEEP should be found, and blood capacity should be appropriately increased.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the relationship between prognosis and alteration of oxygen(utilization) coefficient(O_2UC) in patients with sepsis.Methods: Sixty critically ill patients were divided into(sepsis)(n=30) and nonsepsis(n=30) groups,and 30 healthy controls were selected as normal control group.Gas analysis of arterial blood and central venous blood and calculation of O_2UC(O_2UC=arterial oxygen(saturation-venous) oxygen saturation/arterial oxygen saturation) were carried out at 8 o′clock in sepsis and(non-sepsis) groups on admission and 1,2,3,5,7 and 10 days after admission,and gas analysis of arterial blood and central venous blood was carried out only once in the controls.Results: On admission and 1 day(after) admission,O_2UCs in sepsis and non-sepsis groups were significantly higher than that of control group(both P0.05)).When O_2UC in critically ill patients persisted higher than 55% for 12-24 hours,the prognosis of the patients was poor and had a tendency to die in a short time.From the 2 nd day after admission,O_2UCs in sepsis and non-sepsis groups were lower than that in control group,and O_2UC in sepsis group was obviously lower than that in non-sepsis group(all P0.05),but from the 2 nd day after admission,O_2UC in sepsis group remained at a lower level compared with that in control group(all P
