ABSTRACT
Objective To explore morphine usage in emergency department (ED) and its effect on outcome in elderly patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in a single Chinese center. Methods A prospective observational analysis was performed in elderly patients aged 65-99years with newly diagnosed ADHF, who were treated and admitted from ED of our hospital. The data including patients' demographic characters, past medical history, initial presentations and medication taking were collected and analyzed. According to using morphine or not, the patients were divided into two groups. The effects of morphine on mechanical ventilation, hospitalization stay and in-hospital mortality were also evaluated. Results The 82 patients were enrolled in this study, 52 males and 30females. In the 41 (50. 0%) patients using morphine (morphine usage group), the foregone incidence rates of coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and stroke were less, the levels of troponin T and random blood sugar were increased in morphine usage group than in non-morphine usage group.No other differences were found in initial presentations between the two groups. The patients often theophylline before morphine administration. And they had a higher prevalence of mechanical ventilation (95%CI: 1.22-7.41), but no differences were found in hospitalization stay and in-hospital mortality between the two groups. Conclusions Morphine is still as a common medicine in treatment of ADHF in ED. Morphine usage can increase prevalence of mechanical ventilation without influencing hospitalization stay and in-hospital mortality even in elderly ADHF patients. Morphine may be a safe medication in the rational treatment of early-stage ADHF in elderly patients with mechanical ventilation support.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) in ventilator-induced lung injury inflammatory reaction of newborn rabbits.Methods Seventy-five newborn rabbits aged 1-5 days were randomly arranged to 3 groups:control group(n=3),other 72 rabbits designed by 2?2?3 factorial were divided into high concentration oxygen(100%)and low concentration oxygen(45%) groups,and each group was subdivided into 2 groups:High peak inspiratory pressure(PIP)group and low PIP group.All rabbits were done by mechanical ventilation and killed to obtain lung tissue at 1,3,6 hours after trailing respectively.The concentration of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in lung tissue bomogenate were detected by ELISA,at the same time the ratio of wet to dry was detected and pathological section was analyzed.Results 1.The concentration of MMP-2 in high concentration oxygen group,high PIP group and low PIP group increased compared with that in normal group,and there were significant differences.2.The mean concentration of MMP-9 was lower in high concentration oxygen group than that in normal control group,and there was significant difference between 2 groups.The mean concentration of MMP-9 in low concentration oxygen group was higher than that in normal group,and there was no significant difference between 2 groups.There was no significant difference in effect to mean concentration of MMP-9 by different PIP.3.There were positive correlation between MMP-2 and MMP-9,MMP-2 and the ratio of wet to dry in lung.Conclusions Within 6 hours in newborn rabbits by mechanical ventilation,ventilation with high concentration oxygen up-regulate MMP-2,but down-regulated MMP-9.The lungs stretch by mechanical ventilation increase MMP-9,but decrease MMP-2.Mechanical ventilation can affect the synthesis of MMPs,and MMPs plays an important role in ventilator-induced lung injury of newborn rabbits.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the changes of haemodynamics, pulmonary mechanics and blood gas in volume controlled and pressure controlled ventilatory patterns during one-lung ventilation (OLV). Methods: 20 patients with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) underwent left thoracotomy PDA ligation with right OLV. The patients were divided into three groups: two-lung ventilation with volume controlled (TLV-VCV), one-lung ventilation with volume controlled (OLV-VCV), and one-lung ventilation with pressure controlled (OLV-PCV). After two-lung ventilation with VCV, one-lung ventilation was started by VCV and the ventilation mode was then switched to PCV. All measurements were made 25 min after initiation of the ventilation mode. The respiratory mechanics index was measured by side stream spirometry (SSS), including peak airway pressure (Ppeak), plateau pressure (Pplat), airway resistance (Raw), lung compliance (Cdyn) and inspiratory and expiratory minute ventilation (Mvi, Mve). Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), left ventricular ejectiontime (LVETi), and aortic blood flow acceleration (ACC) were also measured, by using the transesophageal Doppler (TED) monitor. Arterial blood gases was determined in every ventilation mode. Results: Ppeak、Pplat and Raw were significantly higher during OLV-VCV than that during TLV-VCV (P
ABSTRACT
The effects of the prone position on the improvement of oxygenation in patients with ARDS were reported already twenty years ago. Recent studies have shown that the prone position would improve the ventilation and perfusion relationship as it improves the ventilation in the local area without altering the pulmonary blood flow during the support of ventilation in the patients with ARDS. We have applied the prone position repeatly on the patient with ARDS which developed after the removal of a bilateral pulmonary empyema and decortication. The initial effect of the prone position on oxygenation improved the PaO2/FiO2 (arterial oxygen tension divided by inspired oxygen concentration) ratio, 104.3 to 132.9, at FiO2 0.7. Improvement of oxygenation was maintained with repeat position change, three times over 24 hours, from supine to prone position.

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation is frequently used in the intensive care unit. Sedation is usually required to tolerate the presence of a tracheal tube and other unpleasant stimulus during mechanical ventilation. The ideal regimen for sedation has not yet been determined. This study was designed to compare the characteristics of safety and effectiveness of propofol to those of midazolam for sedation in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in surgical intensive care unit. METHODS: 44 mechanically ventilated patients were randomized to receive either propofol (loading dose 20~40 mg, followed by 10~50 microgram/kg/min) or midazolam (loading dose 1~2 mg, followed by 0.2~0.8 microgram/kg/min). Infusion rates were titrated to 3~5 points of Ramsay scale. All patients also received morphine 0.5 microgram/kg/24 h without any muscle relaxants. Hemo-dynamic changes (SBP, DBP, HR), ventilatory parameters and recovery time were evaluated. Hepatic and renal functions were measured before start of infusion and after discontinuation of both drugs. RESULTS: The mean initial loading and maintenance dose were 0.35 mg/kg and 1.5 mg/kg/hr for the propofol, 29.2 microgram/kg and 29.1 microgram/kg/h for midazolam group, respectively. There was no difference between the two groups regarding the sedation score evaluated by Ramsay scale. Patients receiving propofol recovered more rapidly than those receiving midazolam (40.5+/-20.1 min vs. 88.2+/-29.5 min respectively; P30% of pre-injection value) or hepatic or renal function changes. CONCLUSIONS: Propofol is a sedative agent with shorter awakening time than midazolam but with the same safety and clinical effectiveness for the continuous sedation of mechanically ventilated patients.

BACKGROUND: Epidural buprenorphine has been shown to reduce the anesthetic and analgesic requirements during the perioperative period. The goal of this study is to see whether epidural buprenorprhine reduce the dose of fentanyl infusion for anesthetic management and postoperative pain control and shorten the duration of postoperative ventilatory support and endotracheal intubation in open heart surgery patients. Method: Total 50 patients who underwent the open heart surgery were included for the study. General anesthesia was maintained with a nitrous oxide (2 L/min)-oxygen (2 L/min)-isoflurane (0.5~1.5 %). In control group additional anesthetic requirement is supplemented with intermittent intravenous injection of fentanyl. In buprenorphine group initial loading dose of 0.3 mg of epidural buprenorphine followed by continuous epidural infusion (20 microgram/hr) and additional anesthetic requirement was supplemented with intravenous fentanyl. RESULTS: The total dose of fentanyl requirement was significantly lower in buprenorphine group than in control group. The duration of ventilatory support and endotracheal intubation were significantly shorter in buprenorphine group than in control group. The duration of ICU stay was not different between two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Epidural buprenorphine reduced the anesthetic requirement and postoperative pain and shortened the duration of postoperative ventilatory support and endotracheal intubation. Therefore epidural buprenorphine can be an reasonable alternative for an adjunctive with general anesthesia and postoperative pain control.
