Progress of injection sites of local infiltration analgesia in total knee arthroplasty / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To review the research progress of injection sites of local infiltration analgesia (LIA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).@*METHODS@#The relevant domestic and foreign literature in recent years was extensively reviewed. The neuroanatomy of the knee, and the research progress of the selection and the difference of effectiveness between different injection sites of LIA in clinical studies were summarized.@*RESULTS@#Large concentrations of nociceptors are present throughout the various tissues of the knee joint. Patellar tendon, subpatellar fat pad, lateral collateral ligament insertions, iliotibial band insertions, suprapatellar capsule, and posterior capsule were more sensitive to pain. Most current studies support injections into the lateral capsule, collateral ligament, retinaculum, quadriceps tendon, fat pad, and subcutaneous tissue. Whether to inject into the back of the knee and subperiosteum is controversial.@*CONCLUSION@#The relative difference of knee tissue sensitivity to pain has guiding significance for the selection of LIA injection site after TKA. Although researchers have conducted clinical trials on injection site and technique of LIA in TKA, there are certain limitations. The optimal scheme has not been determined yet, and further studies are needed.

Analysis of the intention of clinicians to adopt contrast-enhanced ultrasound / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:Based on the technology-organization-environment model and the theory of planned behavior, to construct a theoretical model for exploring the influencing factors of the adoption intention of hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound by clinicians in a medical alliance.Methods:By agency of self-administered scales, a questionnaire survey was conducted among the clinicians in liver disease-related departments of four medical alliances from Fujian and Jiangxi provinces between February and August, 2019.Results:Behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, organizational atmosphere, and industry technical environment all had positive impacts on the clinicians′ intention to adopt hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound technology in medical alliances. The total influence of the five types of factors on the adoption intention of hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound was as follows: perceived behavioral control(0.779), subjective norms(0.635), industry technical environment(0.578), behavioral attitudes(0.359), and organizational atmosphere(0.218).Conclusions:It is recommended to strengthen the intention to adopt corresponding health technologies by providing adequate technical education and training, giving play to the leading role of core members, and building an organizational atmosphere of advocating technological innovation and communication.
