RÉSUMÉ
The theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera" originated from Elementary Questions （《素问》）， which is an important origin of the theory of supplementation and drainage prescription. By exploring the connotation of the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera"， and adopting the archaeological method of literature research， we collected the relevant writings on the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera" by the representative physicians of Yishui school， such as ZHANG Yuansu， LI Gao， WANG Haogu， LUO Tianyi， LI Zhongzi， etc.， combed through the inheritance and development of this theory， and explored the contribution of Yishui school on this. It was found that all the physicians of Yishui school， on the basis of inheriting the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera"， combined with their own clinical practice to develop this theory， and promoted the application and development of this theory in clinic， such as ZHANG Yuansu's theories of cold-heat deficiency-excess in viscera and bowels， and the theory of viscera and bowels prescription， and LI Gao's theory of ascending and descending， floating and sinking， supplementing and draining in visceral qi， and other academic thoughts rooted in the theory of "supplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera" of Elementary Questions. By clarifying the inheritance and development of this theory by physicians of Yishui school， we can deeply understand the connotation and the embedded rules of prescription of this theory， which can not only guide the clinical medication in traditional Chinese medicine， but also provide reference value to the research on the academic thoughts of the Yishui school and the theory of fsupplementation/drainage for bitter-desire of the five viscera.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective:To explore a new method of ultrasound-guided positioning of the tip of neonatal peri-pherally inserted central catheter (PICC).Methods:Clinical data of 174 newborn infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Beijing Chaoyang District Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital from January 2019 to April 2021 receiving PICC catheter intubated under the guidance of ultrasound for positioning the tip were retrospectively analyzed to explore the accuracy, reliability and feasibility of the improved ultrasound-guided positioning technique.Before lower extremity catheterization, ultrasound was performed to monitor the vascular pattern and catheterization of PICC was conducted under the guidance of ultrasound.Results:(1) Among 174 infants intubated with ultrasound-guided positioning of the PICC tip, 172(98.9%) of them had the ideal position, and 2(1.1%) did not achieve the ideal position, but achieved the ideal position after ultrasound-guided correction.(2) Lower extremity venous catheterization was successfully performed at 100.0% after ultrasound-guided monitoring of blood vessels.The time-consuming of lower extremity venous catheterization was significantly shorter than that of the previous method [(31.50±2.58) min vs.(56.10 ±5.30 min)]( t=46.84, P<0.001). The total success rate of catheterization and catheterization of lower limb vein increased by 7.0% and 17.5%, respectively.(3) Only 1 (0.57%) case reported the complication of catheter tip thrombosis, the complication rate of which decreased from the previous 79.00% to 2.70%(2/112 cases). Conclusions:The improved ultrasound-guided positioning of the PICC tip is convenient, simple, faster and accurate, which enhances the success rate and is worthy to be applied in clinical practice.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective@#To investigate the value of ultrasound in the localization of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in neonates.@*Methods@#A retrospective analysis of the PICC catheterization was conducted at Department of Neonatology, Beijing Chaoyang District Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital from June 2017 to December 2018.The ultrasound monitoring was performed immediately after PICC catheterization.The probe was placed into the midline position of the lower xiphoid or the subclavian parasternal line for scanning, and it would be the PICC if a high-echo " equal sign" was observed by ultrasound.It was believed that the PICC was successfully placed when ultrasound detected that the PICC tip was located in the junction of inferior vena cava or superior vena cava in the right atrium.@*Results@#(1)Among 112 infants with PICC catheterization, 103 cases (92.0%) were accurately placed, 9 cases (8.0%) were not placed in the ideal site, among them, 2 cases were too deep, 4 cases were too shallow and 3 cases were catheter heterotopia.The tip position was accurate after the readjustment under ultrasound monitoring in those patients whose the first ultrasound showed the tip position was not ideal.(2)The PICC indwelling time was as short as 2 days (removed due to severe arrhythmia) and as long as 56 days with an average of (15.1±10.7) days.(3)The catheter-related complications occurred in 3 cases with an incidence of 2.7%.@*Conclusions@#Using ultrasound to determine the PICC tips position is accurate and reliable, which is worthy of extensive application in the neonatal wards.
