Résumé
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of thrombolysis and anticoagulant therapy for post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) in middle-aged and elderly patients.Methods Totally 45 patients with post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism in our hospital were selected.Patients were divided into thrombolysis group (n =22) and anticoagulation group (n=23) according to their conditions.Symptoms and signs,blood gas analysis,D-dimer,echocardiography,CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) were performed before and after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy.Results There were no significant differences in clinical curative rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [95.5％ (21/22) vs.91.3％ (21/23),x2 =0.32,P＞0.05],and no case was found dead in both two groups.There was a significant difference in hemorrhage rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [27.3％ vs.4.3％,x2 =4.53,P ＜ 0.05].At 24 hours after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy,the improvement rate of dyspnea,PaO2 level was significantly higher and the pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly lower in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group [45.5％ (10/22) vs.17.4％ (4/23),(80.4±8.1) mm Hg vs.(73.6±9.3) mm Hg,(51.2±6.2) mm Hgvs.(60.3±5.7) mm Hg,respectively,all P＜0.05],and there were no statistical significances at other time points between the two groups.Conclusions The clinical curative rate and fatality rate are similar in thrombolysis group versus anticoagulation group.Hemorrhage rate is higher in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group.Thrombolysis can relieve dyspnea rapidly,reduce pulmonary artery pressure and make the embolized blood vessels recanalized.Patients with low bleeding risk in a critical condition are suggested to take thrombolysis therapy,while patients with high bleeding risk in a light condition are suggested to take anticoagulant therapy.
Résumé
Objective To explore the relationship between the prothrombotic state and blood coagulation-fibrinolysis system changes with deep venous thrombosis(DVT)in aged patients after total joint arthroplasty,and to propose preventive measures.Methods 400 patients who underwent total hip or knee replacement from January 2003 to June 2011 were classified into suspected DVT(n=200 cases)and non-suspected DVT(n=200 cases)according to Well's clinical scoring system.The patients were divided into 4 subgroups based on the measures to prevent DVT:low molecular weigh heparin group,intermittent pneumatic bag compression group,combined above measures group,control group who refused any preventive measures.Plasma thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT),plasmin-α2 antiplasmin complex(PAP)were determined preoperatively.Venous Doppler ultrasound was performed before surgery,4 d and 10 d after surgery to detect the presence of DVT.Results Totally 71 cases(17.8％)were diagnosed as DVT and 5 cases(1.3％)as pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE).The incidence of DVT in suspected DVT group(28.5％,57 cases)was lower than in non-suspected DVT group(7.0 ％,14 cases)(x2 =31.66,P＜ 0.01).Among patients with suspected DVT,the DVT prevalence in combined measures group(2.0 ％,1 cases)was decreased than in low molecular weigh heparin group(14.0％,7 cases),intermittent pneumatic bag compression (34.0％,17 cases)and control groups(64.0％,32 cases)(x2=4.89,17.34,18.01,all P＜0.05).In the patients with non-suspected DVT,the DVT prevalence in combined measures group(0.0％)was lower than in control group(24.0 ％,12 cases)(x2 =13.64,P＜0.01).The average preoperative level of TAT[(9.63±3.06)μg/L]in patients with DVT was higher than without DVT[(2.59±0.87)μg/L](t=35.70,P＜0.01),while PAP level in patients with DVT[(38.52± 21.13)μg/L]was reduced than without DVT[69.75±30.26)μg/L](t=8.27,P＜0.01).Conclusions The levels of TAT and PAP before total hip or knee replacement are predictive for lower extremity DVT.The clinical effectiveness of Well's scoring on DVT prevention is dependent on the different TAT and PAP state.
Résumé
Objective To investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Methods The clinical data of 114 200 inpatients from June 2002 to June 2008, including gender, age, smoking history, primary disease and risk factors, were reviewed. Results There were 1445(1.27%) cases with venous thromboembolism (VTE), while 1433(1. 25%) patients suffered from DVT and 153(0. 13%) patients suffered from PTE, 16(11. 11 %) patients were dead of PTE. Of all the DVT patients, there were 1348(94. 1%) cases with DVT of lower limbs with no significant difference between left or right lower limb (P>0. 05). There were 49(3.4%) cases with inferior vena cava, 23(1.6%) cases with cavitas pelvis veins and 13(0. 9%) cases with upper extremity veins. The peak ages of morbidity were between 51 to 60 years. Conclusions The incidence of VTE is increasing with ageing and there is no significant difference between males and females. The most common risk factors for thromboembolism include trauma, surgery, cardiac and pulmonary disease, age over 50 years, deep phlebitis, long-term smoking, cancer, pregnancy, childbirth, braking, history of VTE, etc. We may lower the incidence and mortality of VTE by strengthening prevention work according to the high risk factors.
