RESUMO
Objective To analyze the risk factors for the failure of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD),and to help the clinical risk assessment and decision making.Methods A retrospective case control study was conducted.The patients with AECOPD undergoing NIV admitted to Kaifeng Emergency Center from June 2011 to March 2016 were enrolled,and they were divided into two groups according to whether NIV was successful or not within 12 hours.The nutritional status,blood gas analysis,serum electrolytes,D-dimer,renal function,serum pre-albumin,as well as kinetic vital signs,Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score,expression of respiratory distress,and spontaneous expectoration were recorded.Logistic forward stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the factors for failure of NIV.Results 122 patients.with the initial NIV were enrolled,with NIV failure in 41 patients within 12 hours,accounted for 33.6％.Compared with NIV success group,the percents of respiratory rate ≥ 25 breaths/min (75.6％ vs.17.3％),expectoration disorders (78.0％ vs.19.8％),circulatory disorders (61.0％ vs.18.5％),malnutrition (61.0％ vs.11.1％),decreased serum pre-albumin (58.5％ vs.17.3％),and GCS score ＜ 12 (75.6％ vs.28.4％) in NIV failure group were significantly increased (all P ＜ 0.05).But there were no significant differences in gender,age,body temperature,blood gas analysis,D-dimer,serum creatinine between two groups.It was shown by the results of binary logistic regression analysis that respiratory rate,expectoration disorders,circulatory disorders,malnutrition,serum pre-albumin,and GCS score were the factors of NIV failure [odds ratio (OR) values were 10.879,6.338,9.860,23.273,8.862,6.774,and P values were 0.011,0.038,0.024,0.003,0.015,0.041,respectively].It was shown by the results of logistic stepwise regression analysis that respiratory rate ≥ 25 breaths/min,expectoration disorders,circulatory disorders,malnutrition,decreased serum pre-albumin,and GCS score ＜ 12 were independent risk factors of NIV failure (OR values were 6.610,5.403,5.138,8.153,4.979,5.100,and P values were 0.007,0.013,0.023,0.007,0.027,0.023,respectively).Conclusions The multiple independent risk factors can induce NIV failure within 12 hours in emergency patients with AECOPD,i.e.increased respiratory rate,expectoration dysfunction,circulatory disorders,malnutrition,decreased serum pre-albumin,and decreased GCS score.Emergency physicians should pay attention to these early risk factors in AECOPD patients,which can be taken as correct judgment and guide.
RESUMO
A detailed study and analysis of previous research has been carried out to illustrate the relationships between a range of environmental emergencies, and their effects on the emotional state of the rescuers involved in responding to them, by employing Pub Med, Science Direct, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CNKI and Scopus for required information with the several keywords "emergency rescue", "occupational safety", "natural disaster", "emotional management". The effect of the rescuers' emotion on their occupational safety and immediate and long-term emotional behavior is then considered. From these considerations, we suggested four research propositions related to the emotional effects at both individual and group levels, and to the responsibilities of emergency response agencies in respect of ensuring the psychological and physical occupational safety of rescuers during and after environmental emergencies. An analysis framework is proposed which could be used to study the influence paths of these different aspects of emotional impact on a range of occupational safety issues for rescue workers. The authors believe that the conclusions drawn in this paper can provide a useful theoretical reference for decision-making related to the management and protection of the occupational safety of rescuers responding to natural disasters and environmental emergencies
