RÉSUMÉ
Objective@#To summarize the measures and experience of treatment in mass extremely severe burn patients.@*Methods@#The clinical data and treatment of 8 extremely severe burn patients in August 2 Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident who were admitted in the 100th Hospital of PLA on August 2nd, 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 4 males and 4 females, aging 22-45 (34±7) years, with total burn area of 55%-98% [(89±15)%] total body surface area (TBSA) and full-thickness burn area of 45%-97% [(80±21)%] TBSA. All the 8 patients were accompanied with severe shock, inhalation injury, and blast injury. According to the requirements of former PLA General Logistics Department and Nanjing Military Command, a treatment team was set up including a special medical unit and a special care unit, with Chai Jiake from the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA General Hospital as the team leader, Zheng Qingyi from the 175th Hospital of PLA (the Affiliated Dongnan Hospital of Xiamen University) as the deputy leader, the 100th Hospital of PLA as the treatment base, and burn care, respiratory, nephrology, nursing specialists from the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA General Hospital, and the burn care experts and nursing staff from the 180th Hospital of PLA, 118th Hospital of PLA, 98th Hospital of PLA, and 175th Hospital of PLA, and nurses from the 85th Hospital of PLA, 455th Hospital of PLA, 101th Hospital of PLA, 113th Hospital of PLA as team members. Treatment strategies were adopted as unified coordination by the superior, unified responsibility of team leader, division of labor and cooperation between team members, and multidisciplinary cooperation led by department of burns. With exception of one patient who received deep vein catheterization before admission, the other 7 patients were treated with deep vein catheterization 0.5 to 3.0 hours after admission to correct hypovolemic shock as soon as possible. Eight patients received tracheotomy, and 7 patients were treated with mechanical ventilation by ventilator in protective ventilation strategy with low tide volume and low volume pressure to assist breathing. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was done one to three times for all the 8 patients to confirm airway injuries and healing status. Escharectomy and Meek dermatoplasty in the extremities of all the 8 patients were performed 3 to 6 days after injury for the first time. Escharectomy, microskin grafting, and covering of large pieces of allogeneic skin on the trunks of 4 patients were performed 11 to 16 days after injury for the second time. The broad-spectrum antibiotics were uniformly used at first time of anti-infective therapy, and then the antibiotics species were adjusted in time. The balance of internal environment was maintained and the visceral functions were protected. One special care unit was on responsibility of only one patient. Psychological intervention was performed on admission. The rehabilitative treatment was started at early stage and in company with the whole treatment.@*Results@#Acute renal injury occurred in 5 patients within 36 hours after injury and their renal function was restored to normal 4 days after injury due to active adjustment of fluid resuscitation program. No pulmonary complications, such as severe pulmonary infection and ventilator-associated pneumonia, occurred in the survived patients. One of the 8 patients died, and the other 7 patients were cured successfully. The wounds were basically healed in 2 patients in 26 or 27 days by 2 or 3 times of operation, and in 5 patients by 4 or 5 times of operation. The basic wound healing time was 26-64 (48±15) days for all the 7 patients.@*Conclusions@#Treatment strategies of unified coordination by the superior, unified responsibility of team leader, division of labor and cooperation between team members, and multidisciplinary cooperation led by department of burns are the bases to successful treatment. Correcting shock as soon as possible is the prerequisite and closing wound as soon as possible is the key to successful treatment. Comprehensive treatment measures, such as maintaining and regulating the function of viscera, improving the body immunity, and preventing and treating the complications, are the important components to successful treatment. It is emphasized that in the treatment of mass extremely severe burn patients, specialist burn treatment should always be in the dominant position, and other related disciplines may play a part in auxiliary function.
RÉSUMÉ
The professional care by multi-disciplinary team and priority of prevention should be carried out in the treatment of diabetic foot disease to reduce diabetic amputation.This article describes the professional experience in the treatment of four complicated cases with diabetic foot disease and emphasizes the importance of the co-operation among different specialists,including diabetologists and wound,vascular,orthopedic surgeons,etc.as well as of varied therapies applied in staged management of the diabetic foot care,by treating these patients with diabetic foot disease as early as possible.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective To explore the effect of multi-disciplinary management for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated with clipping surgery. Methods 123 subjects admitted to hospital in April 2005 to March 2007 and received traditional management were named as the control group.62 subjects in the control group who admitted to neurology department first and then transferred to neurosurgery when diagnosed as aSAH by DSA were named as the transfer group. 61 subjects who admitted to neurosurgery directly and diagnosed as aSAH by DSA were named as the surgery group. 101 subjects who received multidisciplinary management from April 2007 to March 2009 were named as the experimental group. The waiting time before DSA, waiting time before surgery, hospital stay and hospitalization costs were compared between the three groups. Results Compared with the transfer group and the surgery group, the experimental group was lower in waiting time before DSA, waiting time before surgery, hospital stay and hospitalization costs, but there is no significant difference between the three groups in postoperative neurological function score and incidence rate of complications. The mortality rate was not significantly higher in the experimental group than the transfer group, but was significantly lower than the surgery group. Conclusions Multi-disciplinary management can reduce the "inappropriate hospital stay" of aSAH patients for early surgery. It can reduce the average hospital stay, hospital cost, in order to reduce the burden on families and society.
