Application of circular diet management during perioperative period in selective operation of children with fracture / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To evaluate the practical effects of perioperative diet optimization in pediatric fracture surgery, and explore the clinical efficacy and application value of circular management combined with diet optimization.Methods:Totally 76 children with selective fracture surgery were selected from May 2020 to October 2020 admitted to Wuxi 9th People′s Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University. They were divided into experimental group (38 cases) and control group (38 cases) by random number table method. Experimental group conducted circular management combined with diet optimization for nursing, while control group used only simple diet optimization management. The time and the amount of fasting before and after operation of two groups were recorded, and the compliances of two groups were evaluated according to the total amount of intake. The incidence of subjective adverse feelings, including hunger, thirst, dizziness, fatigue and nausea, were observed. And the satisfactions of patients with nursing management were also evaluated.Results:The preoperative fasting time, preoperative drinking prohibition time, postoperative diet recovery time were (8.25 ± 1.56), (2.76 ± 0.69), (1.17 ± 0.58) h in experimental group, and (9.79 ± 2.51), (3.47 ± 1.18), (1.50 ± 0.80) h in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.21, -3.17, -2.07, all P<0.05). The compliance rates to nursing and fasting before and after operation in control group were 57.9% (22/38), 65.8% (25/38), 76.3% (29/38) and 81.6% (31/38) respectively, which were significantly lower than all 100.0% (38/38) in experimental group ( P<0.05). During preoperative period (hunger), postoperative period when allowing intake (hunger, thirst, dizziness, feebleness) and 6 hours after intake (thirst, feebleness), the incidences of subjective adverse feelings in experimental group were statistically lower than those in control group ( Z values were -3.17- -1.97, all P<0.05). The satisfaction to dietary nursing management in experimental group was (93.82 ± 4.57) scores, which remained higher than (87.24 ± 6.65) scores in control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.03, P<0.01). Conclusions:Single perioperative diet optimization can easily be affected by the unstable clinical compliance of traumatic children, resulting in a low implementation rate. The combination of circular management and diet optimization can improve the intervention implementation and treatment compliance, shorten the time of diet prohibition, accelerate the postoperative recovery, and reduce the occurrence of perioperative adverse reactions.

Pattern of In-line Skate Injury and The Effect of Protective Gear in School Children / 대한정형외과학회잡지

PURPOSE: Despite the rapid increase in the number of in-line skaters, there are few epidemiological studies reported on in-line skate injuries in Korea. This study investigated the pattern of in-line skate injuries in a population of school children, with a particular attention being paid to the effect of protective gear in its prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A questionnaire was given to all school children from 8 elementary schools in an urban area. A total of 13, 482 children and/or their parents were enrolled in this study. The number of in-line skaters, the habit of wearing protective gear, the history of any injury including fractures, and the pattern and etiology of fractures in these children were examined during 2003. RESULTS: Of the responders, 84.6% enjoyed in-line skating. The yearly incidence of in-line skate injuries in 2003 was 39.0% with 1.3% involving fracture.Only 17.0% of in-line skaters wore protective gear, which decreased the incidence of fracture by 72.7%. As they grow older, fewer children were wearing protective gears with a corresponding increase in the incidence of fractures. CONCLUSION: In-line skate injuries are a significant health problem in school children. The use of the protective gear should be encouraged, particularly in older age group.

Clinical Observation on Children's Fractures / 대한정형외과학회잡지

The present study is an observation of 678 cases of children's fractures; which was treated in the Dept. of Orthopedic Surgery, inchon Christian Hospital, for the past ten years, from 1968 to 1978. The peak age was in from 5 years to 6 years. The sex ratio was 2.9 male to 1 female. The ratio between the right and left extremity was nearly equal. The frequency of fracture of the upper extermity was silghtly dominant then lower extremity. The cause of fracture was fall down Injury in nealy 70% of all cases. The epiphyseal Injury was noted as 16.8% of total orthapedic cases. The most common type of Salter & Harris Classiflcation was type II or 56.1%. Mostly all of children's fractures were treated by closed method, and others were treated by open reduction. Complication Included 29 cases of changed carring angle 18 cases of traumatic arthritis and 8 cases of malunlted supracondylar fracture and 3 cases of postoperative Infections and 2 cases of radial nerve palsy and 3 cases of delayed ulnar nerve palsy of the elbow. In fractures of the femur, 3 cases of the peroneal nerve palsy and 2 cases of leg longth discrepancy was noted. Brief discussion and review of Iiterature is presented.
