Application of transport ventilator in the inter-hospital transport of critically ill children / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To study the application value of transport ventilator in the inter-hospital transport of critically ill children.@*METHODS@#The critically ill children in Hunan Children's Hospital who were transported with or without a transport ventilator were included as the observation group (from January 2019 to January 2020; n=122) and the control group (from January 2018 to January 2019; n=120), respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of general data, the changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen saturation during transport, the incidence rates of adverse events, and outcomes.@*RESULTS@#There were no significant differences between the two groups in sex, age, oxygenation index, pediatric critical illness score, course of disease, primary disease, heart rate, respiratory rate, and transcutaneous oxygen saturation before transport (P>0.05). During transport, there were no significant differences between the two groups in the changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, and transcutaneous oxygen saturation (P>0.05). The incidence rates of tracheal catheter detachment, indwelling needle detachment, and sudden cardiac arrest in the observation group were lower than those in the control group during transport, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly shorter duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the pediatric intensive care unit and significantly higher transport success rate and cure/improvement rate (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The application of transport ventilator in the inter-hospital transport can improve the success rate of inter-hospital transport and the prognosis in critically ill children, and therefore, it holds promise for clinical application in the inter-hospital transport of critically ill children.

An Application of Norepinephrine in Renal Transplantation Guided by Hemodynamic Monitoring / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To investigate the use of noradrenaline under different monitoring methods in renal transplantation and its clinical significance in prognosis. Methods 40 patients under the surgery of renal allograft were randomly divided into two groups (20 patients each): Flotrac-vigileo group (E) and the standard monitoring group (N), then we recorded MAP (mean arterial pressure), CVP (central venous pressure) and HR (heart rate) value divided by 5 periods: after induction of general anesthesia (T1), before operation (T2), external iliac vein occlusion (T3), external iliac vein opening (T4) and the end of operation (T5).Meanwhile, intraoperative norepinephrine dosage, intake and output volumnand renal function indicators during postoperative and after three days were also studies. Length of hospital stay were also compared in this essay.Results The amount of norepinephrine in group E during operation was significantly lower than that in group N (P＜0.05). The urine volume in group E during operation was significantly higher than that in group N (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the amount of transfusion, blood loss and the indexes of kidney function. Conclusions Hemodynamics monitored by peripheral cardiac output significantly reduced the amount of norepinephrine used in renal transplantation, also in the risk of renal damage. Yet it increased the amount of intraoperative urine output, which provided more accurate and personalized management of intraoperative vasoactive drugs.
