AIM: To explore the correlation between neonatal retinal hemorrhage(RH)and changes in umbilical artery blood gas analysis.METHODS: A total of 312 full-term neonates born in our obstetrics department from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. According to the RetCam III fundus examination results, 245 neonates who did not experience RH were included in the control group, while 67 cases with RH were found to be included in the RH group. In addition, neonates were grouped into I degree group(n=20), II degree group(n=29), and III degree group(n=18)based on the degree of RH. General clinical data and umbilical artery blood gas analysis indicators between the RH group and the control group were compared; the levels of umbilical artery blood gas analysis indicators in neonates with different degrees of RH, the relationship between pH and RH degree, and the influencing factors of neonatal RH were analyzed.RESULTS: There was no obvious difference in maternal age, average gestational week, fetal gender, parity, gestational diabetes, fetal birth weight, and amniotic fluid between the RH group and the control group(all P>0.05), while there were obvious differences in delivery methods, gestational hypertension, forceps assisted delivery, neonatal asphyxia, and umbilical cord around the neck(all P<0.05). The pH value, arterial blood sample partial pressure(PaO2)and base excess(BE)values of the RH group were obviously lower than those of the control group(all P<0.01), while the arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure(PaCO2)was obviously higher than that of the control group(P<0.01). There were obvious differences in umbilical artery blood gas analysis indicators among children with different degrees of RH(P<0.05), and with the increase of the degree of RH, pH value, PaO2 and BE gradually decreased(P<0.05), and PaCO2 gradually increased(P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the degree of RH and the pH of umbilical artery blood gas analysis(rs=-0.593, P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that delivery method, gestational hypertension, forceps assisted delivery, neonatal asphyxia, umbilical cord entanglement, pH, PaO2, PaCO2, and BE were all influencing factors for the occurrence of neonatal RH.CONCLUSION: There is a close correlation between neonatal RH and changes in umbilical artery blood gas analysis, and umbilical artery blood gas analysis can be used for the diagnosis of neonatal RH, which can be used to guide clinical treatment.

Résumé
Abstract Understanding the physiological concepts of oxygen delivery is essential to discern the mechanisms that influence its increase, reduction or maintenance in the body. This text explores the different mechanisms that help maintain oxygen delivery even in the face of reduced hemoglobin levels. Adequate oxygen delivery ensures tissue and metabolic balance, which is crucial to avoid harmful consequences such as metabolic acidosis and cellular dysoxia. The complex interaction between variables such as cardiac output, hemoglobin and heart rate (HR) plays a fundamental role in maintaining oxygen delivery, allowing the body to temporarily adjust to situations of anemia or high metabolic demand. It is important to emphasize that blood transfusions should not be based on fixed values, but rather on individual metabolic needs. Strategies to reduce myocardial consumption and monitor macro and micro hemodynamics help in making rational decisions. Individualizing treatment and considering factors such as blood viscosity in relation to the benefits of transfusion are increasingly relevant to optimize therapy and minimize risks, especially in complex clinical scenarios, such as neurocritical patients and trauma victims.

Resumen Introducción : En los inicios de la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 la insuficiencia respiratoria aguda ha sido la causa más importante de hospitalización inmediata en los pacientes con COVID-19 que acudían a los servicios de urgencias, siendo mayor la gravedad en pacientes con comorbilidades y factores de riesgo preexistentes; en estos escenarios la hipoxemia ha sido asociada a mortalidad. Nuestro objetivo fue identificar parámetros obtenidos de los gases en sangre arterial (GSA) asocia dos a mortalidad en pacientes con COVID-19 al ingreso hospitalario. Métodos : Se estudiaron retrospectivamente muestras de GSA obtenidos respirando aire ambiente (FiO2 21%) procesadas en el laboratorio clínico en un analizador ABL90 flex (Radiometer). Resultados : La alcalosis respiratoria aguda fue el dis turbio ácido base predominante. Considerando aquellos pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria (paO2 < 60 mmHg) se observó hipoxemia "silenciosa" en 11/176 (6%) de los pacientes estudiados. En un análisis multivariado tres parámetros gasométricos al ingreso mostraron asocia ción positiva a mortalidad hospitalaria: paO2 (p = 0.053), índice paO2/pO2e (que expresa la paO2 ajustada a la paO2 esperada para la edad) (p = 0.047) y saturación fraccional de hemoglobina (OxiHb%) (p = 0.028). Discusión : Los GSA generan un aporte clave en la comprensión de la fisiopatología del paciente COVID-19; en la evaluación inicial, seguimiento y pronóstico de esta enfermedad.
Abstract Introduction : At the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, acute respiratory failure has been the most important cause of hospitalization in patients with COVID-19, being more severe in patients with comorbidi ties and risk factors. In these scenarios hypoxemia has been associated with increased mortality. Our objective was to identify parameters obtained from arterial blood gases (ABG) associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19 at hospital admission. Methods : GSA samples obtained by breathing room air (FiO2 21%) processed in the clinical laboratory were retrospectively studied in an ABL90 flex analyzer (Radi ometer). Results : Acute respiratory alkalosis was the predomi nant acid-base disturbance. Considering those patients with respiratory failure (paO2 <60 mmHg), "silent" hypox emia was observed in 11/176 (6%) of studied patients. In a multivariate analysis, three gasometric parameters at admission showed a positive association with hos pital mortality: paO2 (p=0.053), paO2/pO2e index (which expresses the paO2 adjusted to the paO2 expected for age) (p=0.047) and fractional saturation of hemoglobin (OxiHb%) (p=0.028). Discussion : GSA generate a key contribution in un derstanding the pathophysiology of the COVID-19 pa tient: in the initial evaluation, monitoring and prognosis of this disease.
Résumé
Las hemoglobinopatías son trastornos genéticos que afectan a la molécula de hemoglobina (Hb). Las mutaciones en las cadenas a o b que alteran el tetrámero de Hb pueden modificar la capacidad de la molécula para unirse al oxígeno. Las hemoglobinopatías con baja afinidad al oxígeno pueden presentarse con cianosis y una lectura alterada de la oximetría de pulso, lo que lleva a pruebas innecesarias y, a veces, invasivas para descartar afecciones cardiovasculares y respiratorias. En el siguiente reporte de caso, presentamos a una paciente pediátrica, asintomática, que se presentó a la consulta por detección de desaturación en oximetría de pulso. Las pruebas de laboratorio iniciales mostraron una anemia normocítica, normocrómica. Las muestras de gas venoso demostraron una p50 elevada. Después de extensas herramientas de diagnóstico, se diagnosticó una variante de Hb con baja afinidad al oxígeno, Hb Denver.
Hemoglobinopathies are genetic disorders that affect the hemoglobin (Hb) molecule. Mutations in the alpha or beta chains altering the Hb tetramer may modify the molecule's oxygen-binding capacity. Hemoglobinopathies with low oxygen affinity may occur with cyanosis and an altered pulse oximetry reading, leading to unnecessary and sometimes invasive tests to rule out cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. In the case report described here, we present an asymptomatic pediatric patient who consulted for desaturated pulse oximetry. Her initial laboratory tests showed normocytic, normochromic anemia. Venous blood gas samples showed an elevated p50. After using extensive diagnostic tools, a variant of Hb with low oxygen affinity was diagnosed: Hb Denver.

Objective:To analyze the effect of different lithotomy positions on hemodynamics in patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy.Methods:A total of 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic total hysterectomy at Zhoushan Women and Children's Hospital between January 2020 and June 2021 were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method, with 25 patients in each group. The control group underwent conventional lithotomy position total laparoscopic hysterectomy, while the observation group underwent high and low lithotomy position total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The general surgical indicators, respiratory function indicators, blood gas analysis indicators, hemodynamic levels, incidence of complications, and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups.Results:The general surgical indicators and airway peak pressure indicators in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PCO 2) and arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO 2) between the two groups (both P < 0.05). At 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum, the PaCO 2 level increased in each group, and the PaCO 2 level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P < 0.05). At the same time, the HCO 3- level decreased in each group, and the HCO 3- level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P < 0.05). At 5 minutes before recovery of body position, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in the control group were (76.52 ± 8.61) beats/minute, (113.52 ± 5.36) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), and (86.91 ± 4.21) mmHg, respectively. At 5 minutes after recovery of body position, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in the control group were (89.52 ± 8.61) beats/minute, (106.85 ± 5.63) mmHg, and (80.96 ± 3.65) mmHg, respectively. At 5 minutes before recovery of body position, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in the observation group were (76.36 ± 8.61) beats/minute, (112.79 ± 5.28) mmHg, and (86.89 ± 4.54) mmHg. At 5 minutes after recovery of body position, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in the observation group were (75.63 ± 6.86) beats/minute, (111.99 ± 5.51) mmHg, and (85.06 ± 3.21) mmHg, respectively. At 5 minutes after recovery of body position, heart rate in the control group was increased and that in the observation group was decreased compared with heart rate measured at 5 minutes before recovery of body position. At 5 minutes after recovery of body position, heart rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure decreased in each group, and the amplitudes of reductions in diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. ( t = 6.04, 3.26, 4.22, all P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The overall response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:Compared with conventional lithotomy position total laparoscopic hysteretsotomy, high and low lithotomy position total laparoscopic hysterectomy takes a shorter duration for total laparoscopic hysterectomy, leads to a shorter length of hospital stay, results in less blood loss, causes fewer postoperative infections, and results in more stable hemodynamics and a lower incidence of complications.

Objective:To investigate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride on respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gas, and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation during thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods:A total of 100 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy with one-lung ventilation at Jinhua Central Hospital from January to November 2022 were included in this randomized controlled study. They were divided into groups A and B ( n = 50 per group) using a random digital number table. Patients in group A received an intravenous infusion of 0.02 mg/kg of pentylenethyclidine hydrochloride 30 minutes before surgery, while patients in group B received an equal amount of 0.9% sodium chloride injection 30 minutes before surgery. Clinical indicators, respiratory mechanical indicators (peak airway pressure, lung compliance), arterial blood gas analysis indicators (blood oxygen saturation, arterial pressure of oxygen, oxygenation index), inflammatory factor levels (interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor level-α), and pulmonary complications were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in mechanical ventilation time or total infusion volume between the two groups (both P > 0.05). At the end of surgery (T1) and 1 day after surgery (T2), peak airway pressure in group A was (17.43 ± 2.69) cm H 2O and (16.81 ± 2.28) cm H 2O (1 cm H 2O = 0.098 kPa), respectively, which were significantly lower than (19.23 ± 3.40) cm H 2O and (18.29 ± 2.06) cm H 2O in group B, respectively ( t = 2.94, 3.41, P = 0.002, < 0.001). At T1 and T2, lung compliance in group A was (34.67 ± 2.93) cm H 2O and (36.26 ± 3.11) cm H 2O, respectively, which were significantly higher than (32.23 ± 2.85) cm H 2O and (33.84 ± 2.87) cm H 2O in group B, respectively ( t = 4.22, 4.04, P = 0.000, < 0.001). At T1 and T2, blood oxygen saturation, arterial partial pressure of oxygen, and oxygenation index in group A were significantly higher than those in group B ( t = 8.12, 3.07, 10.47, 3.16, 3.81, 4.15, all P < 0.05). At T1 and T2, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in group A were significantly lower than those in group B ( t = 11.67, 13.55, 9.60, 15.71, 6.13, 11.50, all P < 0.001). The incidence of complications in group A was 4% (2/50), which was significantly lower than 16% (8/50) in group B ( χ2 = 4.00, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Penehyclidine hydrochloride has a good effect on respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gas, and inflammatory factors in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy with one-lung ventilation and thereby deserves clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate changes in arterial acid-base and electrolytes after repeated episodes of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and defibrillation in a swine model.Methods:Sixteen Peking white swine, weighting (32±2.5) kg, were placed with temporary pacemaker electrodes via the left femoral vein into the right ventricle after anesthesia. Then VF was electrically induced by using a programmed electrical stimulation instrument. An arterial cannula was inserted into the left femoral artery to measure mean arterial blood pressure and cardiac output using a PiCCO monitor, with blood samples collected. The pigs were randomly divided into two group: the manual defibrillation group (MD, n=8) and the automated external defibrillation group (AED, n=8). The first defibrillation was attempted with the manufacturer’s dose (150 J) for 15 s after the successful induction of VF in the MD group. If spontaneous circulation was not recovered, 2-min chest compression and subsequent defibrillation (200 J) were attempted. For the AED group, the defibrillation was delivered following voice prompts of the AED. After the return of spontaneous circulation, the pig was allowed to stabilize for 30 min, followed by the induction of the next episode of VF. The above process was repeated five times. Arterial blood gas, cardiac biomarkers, and hemodynamic variables were measured at 30 min after the return of spontaneous circulation. Results:All pigs were successfully induced VF five times and defibrillated successfully. There were no significant changes in heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure between the two groups after repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation. Compared with baseline measurements, cardiac output tended to decrease after repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation but was not statistically significant (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in arterial pH, HCO 3-, sodium, and lactic acid in the two groups between each measurement time point and baseline values after repeated VF (all P>0.05), but potassium levels in the two groups decreased with time, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the baseline measurement (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB, and cardiac troponin I for the two groups compared with baseline values after repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation or various episodes of VF between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Repeated episodes of VF and defibrillation have no significant effect on pH balance, but significantly decrease blood potassium. Clinical approaches (MD vs. AED) do not affect defibrillation effect, with no significant differences in hemodynamic variables and myocardial injuries.

Objective:To study the predictive values of umbilical artery blood gas analysis(UABG) plus amplitude-integrated electroencephalography(aEEG) monitoring within 6 h after birth for early complications and short term neurological outcomes in low Apgar score neonates.Methods:From January 2020 to February 2022, neonates with gestational age (GA) ≥35 weeks and 1 min or 5 min Apgar score ≤7 admitted to NICU of our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. According to UABG pH values, the neonates were assigned into pH<7.2 group and pH ≥7.2 group, and further grouped into abnormal aEEG group and normal aEEG group. The ttest, rank sum test and χ2 test were used to compare laboratory results, incidences of diseases, physical growth and neurological prognosis at 6 month of age. Results:A total of 105 neonates with low Apgar scores were enrolled, including 73 cases in the pH<7.2 group and 32 cases in the pH≥7.2 group. In the pH<7.2 group, 52(71.2%) had abnormal aEEG and 21 had normal aEEG. In the pH≥7.2 group, 6(18.8%) had abnormal aEEG and 26 had normal aEEG. The incidence of abnormal aEEG in the pH<7.2 group was higher than the pH≥7.2 group ( P<0.001). The degree of aEEG abnormality was negatively correlated with UABG pH ( r=-0.463, P<0.001). In the pH<7.2 group, the levels of creatine kinase isozymes (CK-MB), activated partial thromboplastin time and the incidence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates with abnormal aEEG were significantly higher than those with normal aEEG, and the head circumference (HC) at 6 month was significantly smaller in neonates with abnormal aEEG (all P<0.05). In the pH≥7.2 group, the level of CK-MB, incidences of HIE and respiratory failure in neonates with abnormal aEEG were higher than those with normal aEEG, HC at 6 month was smaller and the incidence of adverse neurological prognosis was higher in neonates with abnormal aEEG (all P<0.05). Conclusions:UABG plus aEEG monitoring within 6 h after birth shows predictive values for early complications and short term neurological outcomes in low Apgar scores neonates.
Résumé
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of alteplase combined with heparin in the treatment of acute moderate- and high-risk pulmonary thromboembolism and its effects on arterial blood gas analysis and myocardial enzyme level.Methods:Seventy-eight patients with acute moderate- and high-risk pulmonary thromboembolism who received treatment in Dongyang People's Hospital from January 2015 to January 2022 were retrospectively included in this study. They were divided into observation ( n = 39) and control ( n = 39) groups according to different treatment methods. The control group was treated with heparin, while the observation group was treated with alteplase based on heparin. All patients were treated for 7 days. Clinical efficacy as well as arterial blood gas analysis, myocardial enzymes, pulmonary artery pressure, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion pre- and post-treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (94.87% vs. 76.92%, χ2 = 5.18, P < 0.05). After treatment, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(36.24 ± 5.12) mmHg vs. (44.25 ± 3.78) mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa, t = 7.86, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the partial pressure of oxygen in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(78.82 ± 5.1) mmHg vs. (71.23 ± 4.89) mmHg, t = 6.66, P < 0.05]. After treatment, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and creatine kinase isoenzyme in the observation group were (107.42 ± 15.45) U/L, (37.21 ± 10.84) U/L, and (12.28 ± 3.54) U/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (189.94 ± 21.20) U/L, (65.42 ± 6.57) U/L, and (19.29 ± 3.08) U/L in the control group ( t = 19.64, 13.89, 9.33, all P < 0.001). After treatment, the pulmonary arterial pressure in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(32.24 ± 3.86) mmHg vs. (37.79 ± 5.17) mmHg, t = 5.37, P < 0.001]. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(14.07 ± 1.27) mm vs. (12.63 ± 1.16) mm, t = 5.22, P < 0.001]. Conclusion:Ateplase combined with heparin has an obvious effect on acute moderate- and high-risk pulmonary thromboembolism. It can improve arterial blood gas analysis and reduce myocardial enzyme levels.
Résumé
Objective:To investigate the relationship between arterial blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide and neurological outcome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Methods:The clinical data of 116 patients who underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department of the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the average arterial blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide within 24 hours after admission, patients were divided into normal (35 mmHg ≤ PaCO 2 ≤ 55 mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa, n = 44), hypercapnia (PaCO 2 > 55 mmHg, n = 51), and hypocapnia (PaCO 2 < 35 mmHg, n = 21) groups. ICU stay, in-hospital mortality, and neurological outcome at discharge were compared among groups. A logistic regression analysis model was established. The relationship between PaCO 2 and neurological outcome was determined. Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex, cardiac arrest time, acute physiological and chronic health evaluation II score at admission, 1-hour mean arterial pressure, location of cardiac arrest, and initial heart rhythm among the three groups (all P > 0.05). ICU stay in the normal group [(7.23 ± 2.55) days] was significantly higher than that in the hypercapnia [(12.21 ± 4.12) days] and hypocapnia [(11.78 ± 4.72) days] groups ( t = 6.48, 4.59, both P < 0.01). In-hospital mortality in the normal group was 38.6% (17/44), which was significantly lower than 60.8% (31/51) in the hypercapnia group and 66.7% (14/21) in the hypocapnia group ( χ2 = 4.63, 4.47, both P < 0.05). The good neurological outcome rate in the normal group was 55.6% (15/44), which was significantly higher than 25.0% (5/51) in the hypercapnia group and 28.6% (2/21) in the hypocapnia group ( χ2 = 8.38, 5.14, both P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cardiac arrest time, 1-hour mean arterial pressure, acute physiological and chronic health evaluation II score, and PaCO 2 are important factors for neurological outcomes of resuscitated patients at discharge (all P < 0.01). Conclusion:Within 24 hours after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, maintaining a normal PaCO 2 level can help improve the neurological outcome of patients at discharge.
Résumé
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupoint application therapy combined with pressing needle therapy in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods:Eighty-six patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who received treatment at Lishui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2022 to August 2022 were retrospectively included in this study. They were randomly divided into Group A ( n = 29), group B ( n = 29), and the combined treatment group ( n = 28) according to different treatment methods. All three groups were treated with conventional Western medicine. Based on this, group A was treated with acupoint application therapy, group B was treated with pressing needle therapy and the combined treatment group with treated with acupoint application therapy and pressing needle therapy. Clinical efficacy was compared among the three groups. Traditional Chinese medicine symptom score, pulmonary function index, blood gas index, and quality of life score pre- and post-treatment were compared among the three groups. Results:There was a significant difference in total response rate among group A [75.86% (22/29)], group B [79.31% (23/29)], and the combined treatment group [96.43% (27/28), H = 6.15, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the scores of cough, expectoration, and dyspnea in the three groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of cough, expectoration, and dyspnea in the combined treatment group were (1.79 ± 0.48) points, (2.30 ± 0.32) points, and (1.96 ± 0.43) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in (2.32 ± 0.41) points, (2.68 ± 0.42) points, and (2.27 ± 0.36) points in group A and (2.17 ± 0.50) points, (2.91 ± 0.43) points, and (2.33 ± 0.43) points in group B ( F = 9.81, 17.38, 6.72, all P < 0.05). After treatment, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1), and FEV 1/FVC were increased in each group compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, FVC, FEV 1, and FEV 1/FVC in the combined treatment group were (3.95 ± 0.47) L, (2.01 ± 0.36) L, and (82.91 ± 13.35)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (3.63 ± 0.59) L, (1.76 ± 0.21) L, and (73.23 ± 10.85)% in group A and (3.89 ± 0.38) L, (1.64 ± 0.37) L and (73.91 ± 7.62)% in group B ( F = 3.49, 9.80, 7.05, all P < 0.05). After treatment, blood gas indicators in each group were significantly increased compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, blood oxygen partial pressure in the combined treatment group, group A and group B was (85.76 ± 3.21) mmHg, (81.05 ± 4.23) mmHg, and (80.62 ± 4.03) mmHg, respectively. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the three groups was (37.74 ± 5.88) mmHg, (44.32 ± 5.59) mmHg, and (43.22 ± 6.41) mmHg, respectively. There were significant differences in blood oxygen partial pressure and partial pressure of carbon dioxide among the three groups ( F = 15.50, 9.88, all P < 0.05). After treatment, the quality of life score in each group was significantly increased compared with that before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the quality of life score in the combined treatment group, group B, and group A was (43.97 ± 6.34) points, (39.16 ± 4.45) points, and (40.19 ± 4.67) points, respectively, and there was significant difference among the three groups ( F = 4.12, P < 0.001). Conclusion:In the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acupoint application therapy combined with pressing needle therapy is highly effective than monotherapy. The combined therapy can better improve traditional Chinese medicine symptoms and blood gas indicators, effectively enhance pulmonary function, and improve quality of life than monotherapy.
Résumé
Mechanical ventilation is an advanced life support treatment for patients with acute respiratory failure. While stabilizing respiratory function, it also acts as an injury factor to exacerbate or lead to lung injury, that is, ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI). There may be a more subtle form of damage to VILI known as "biotrauma". However, the mechanism of biotrauma in VILI is still unclear. This article intends to review the mechanism of biotrauma of VILI from the aspects of inflammatory response, oxidative stress and complement activation, in order to provide a new strategy for clinical prevention and treatment of biotrauma caused by VILI.
Résumé
Objective:To investigate the value of short-time transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (TcPCO 2) and transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO 2) monitoring in critically ill preterm infants. Methods:From January to December 2018, 62 critically ill neonates receiving respiratory support at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center were retrospectively enrolled. A total of 348 sets of paired data including TcPCO 2/TcPO 2 and arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO 2)/arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2) were analyzed. The patients were divided into different groups based upon birth weight (23 cases>1 000 g-≤1 500 g, 129 sets of paired data; 18 cases≤1 000 g, 130 sets of paired data) and gestational age (16 cases born at ≤28 gestational weeks, 127 sets of paired data; 29 cases born at 28-34 gestational weeks, 159 sets of paired data) and the differences between groups were compared. The correlation and consistency of TcPCO 2/TcPO 2 and PaCO 2/PaO 2 were evaluated using Pearson's correlation and Blan-Altman scatter plots. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of TcPCO 2 in neonates with hypercapnia. Results:There was a positive correlation between TcPCO 2 and PaCO 2 in all patients ( r=0.913, 95% CI:0.894-0.929, P<0.05). In patients whose birth weight was>1 000 g-≤1 500 g or≤1 000 g, TcPCO 2 and PaCO 2 were positively correlated and the consistency were good ( r=0.909, 95% CI:0.874-0.935; r=0.934, 95% CI:0.908-0.953; both P<0.05), and the same finding was also observed in patients born at≤28 gestational weeks or 28-34 weeks of gestation ( r=0.938, 95% CI:0.913-0.956; r=0.871, 95% CI: 0.827-0.904; both P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and area under curve of TcPCO 2 in the diagnosis of hypercapnia were 90.91%, 85.85%, and 0.942, respectively. There was a poor correlation between TcPO 2 and PaO 2 in all patients and those with birth weight >1 000 g-≤1 500 g or gestational age 28-34 weeks (all r<0.75, all P<0.05). There was no correlation between TcPO 2 and PaO 2 in the birth weight ≤1 000 g and gestational age ≤28 weeks groups (both P>0.05). Conclusions:Short-time TcPCO 2 monitoring can accurately assess PaCO 2 in critically ill neonates requiring respiratory support and is of high diagnostic value for hypercapnia. However, TcPO 2 has limitation in evaluating PaO 2 and other indicators may need to be involved.
