RESUMO
Objective:To explore clinical significance of prehospital first aid in treatment of patients with cardiopul-monary arrest caused by electrical shock.Methods:A total of 85 patients with cardiopulmonary arrest caused by e-lectrical shock,who hospitalized in our community health service center from Jul 2002 to Feb 2014,were selected. Influence of different factors of prehospital first aid on success rate of recovery and survival rate were explored.Re-sults:After prehospital first aid,heart beat and respiration recovered in 21 cases (24.7%)and 13 patients (15.3%) survived and discharged in 85 subjects.Success rate of recovery and survival rate on discharge in patients with age ≥60 years and high voltage wound were lower,but without significant difference compared with those of 0.05);for the time from electric shock to cardiopulmonary resuscitation,success rate of recovery and survival rate on discharge were the highest in 16min,P <0.05 or <0.01. Conclusion:Early prehospital first aids,such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation etc,can significantly improve progno-sis in patients with cardiopulmonary arrest caused by electrical shock.
RESUMO
An improving method, named direction-coding, is presented in this paper for plotting isodose curves in brachytherapy treatment planning. It is not necessary to find solutions of the intersection point of two lines and distance between two points. All possible curves can be searched with the simplified algorithm. The method is well applied in brachytherapy treatment planning.
