RESUMEN
Objective:To compare the difference of low-level assisted ventilation and T-piece method on respiratory mechanics of patients with invasive mechanical ventilation during spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) within 3 days before extubation.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. Twenty-five patients with difficulty in weaning or delayed weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation who were admitted to department of critical care medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from December 2018 to June 2020, and were in stable condition and entered the weaning stage after more than 72 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation were studied. A total of 119 cases of respiratory mechanical indexes were collected, which were divided into the low-level assisted ventilation group and the T-piece group according to the ventilator method and parameters used during the data collection. The different ventilation modes related respiratory mechanics indexes such as the esophageal pressure (Pes), the gastric pressure (Pga), the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), the maximum Pdi (Pdimax), Pdi/Pdimax ratio, the esophageal pressure-time product (PTPes), the gastric pressure-time product (PTPga), the transdiaphragmatic pressure-time product (PTPdi), the diaphragmatic electromyography (EMGdi), the maximum diaphragmatic electromyography (EMGdimax), PTPdi/PTPes ratio, Pes/Pdi ratio, the inspiratory time (Ti), the expiratory time (Te) and the total time respiratory cycle (Ttot) at the end of monitoring were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the T-piece group, Pes, PTPes, PTPdi/PTPes ratio, Pes/Pdi ratio and Te were higher in low-level assisted ventilation group [Pes (cmH 2O, 1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa): 2.84 (-1.80, 5.83) vs. -0.94 (-8.50, 2.06), PTPes (cmH 2O·s·min -1): 1.87 (-2.50, 5.93) vs. -0.95 (-9.71, 2.56), PTPdi/PTPes ratio: 0.07 (-1.74, 1.65) vs. -1.82 (-4.15, -1.25), Pes/Pdi ratio: 0.17 (-0.43, 0.64) vs. -0.47 (-0.65, -0.11), Te (s): 1.65 (1.36, 2.18) vs. 1.33 (1.05, 1.75), all P < 0.05], there were no significant differences in Pga, Pdi, Pdimax, Pdi/Pdimax ratio, PTPga, PTPdi, EMGdi, EMGdimax, Ti and Ttot between the T-piece group and the low-level assisted pressure ventilation group [Pga (cmH 2O): 6.96 (3.54,7.60) vs. 7.74 (4.37, 11.30), Pdi (cmH 2O): 9.24 (4.58, 17.31) vs. 6.18 (2.98, 11.96), Pdimax (cmH 2O): 47.20 (20.60, 52.30) vs. 29.95 (21.50, 47.20), Pdi/Pdimax ratio: 0.25 (0.01, 0.34) vs. 0.25 (0.12, 0.41), PTPga (cmH 2O·s·min -1): 7.20 (2.54, 9.97) vs. 7.97 (5.74, 13.07), PTPdi (cmH 2O·s·min -1): 12.15 (2.95, 19.86) vs. 6.87 (2.50, 12.63), EMGdi (μV): 0.05 (0.03, 0.07) vs. 0.04 (0.02, 0.06), EMGdimax (μV): 0.07 (0.05, 0.09) vs. 0.07 (0.04, 0.09), Ti (s): 1.20 (0.95, 1.33) vs. 1.07 (0.95, 1.33), Ttot (s): 2.59 (2.22, 3.09) vs. 2.77 (2.35, 3.24), all P > 0.05]. Conclusions:When mechanically ventilated patients undergo SBT, the use of T-piece method increases the work of breathing compared with low-level assisted ventilation method. Therefore, long-term use of T-piece should be avoided during SBT.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the abuse tendency of disabled elderly caregivers and analyze its causes.Methods With the convenience sampling method,The main caregivers of 300 disabled elderly people were investigated by the general questionnaire, Activities Daily Living Scale (ADLs) and Caregiver Abuse Screen (CASE) in Guangzhou. Results The degree of disability of the elderly was moderate to severe degree.The average score of the elderly caregiver′s propensity for abuse tendency was(3.3 ± 2.3).178 (59.4 %, 178/300) of the elderly caregivers have abuse tendency (the average score was more than 3). Conclusion Caregivers′ abuse tendency against the elderly is high. The situation of the elderly is not optimistic.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate influential factors and incidence of postpartum urinary retention after forceps delivery. Method The clinical data of 216 cases of puerperas undergoing forceps delivery in our hospital from January 2012 and July 2015 were collected and investigated in terms of postpartum urinary retention as well as its influencing factors. Results The incidence rate of postpartum urinary retention was 24.07%(52/216).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed the significant positive variables for the outcomes included:the first stage of labor and postpartum 2h bleeding.Conclusion The first stage of labor time and postpartum 2h bleeding are the high risk factors of uroschesis after forceps delivery.
