Application of Tranexamic Acid in Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgery: A Randomised Controlled Trial / 中国医学科学杂志(英文版)

Objective To explore the optimal administration route of tranexamic acid (TXA) in shoulder arthroscopic surgery. Methods Patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were randomly divided into four groups: control group (without TXA treatment), intravenous group (TXA was intravenously administered 10 minutes before surgery), irrigation group (TXA was added to the irrigation fluid during subacromial decompression and acromioplasty), and intravenous plus irrigation group (TXA was applied both intravenously and via intra-articular irrigation). The primary outcome was visual clarity assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) score, and the secondary outcomes included irrigation fluid consumption and time to subacromial decompression and acromioplasty procedure. Results There were 134 patients enrolled in the study, including 33 in the control group, 35 in the intravenous group, 32 in the irrigation group, and 34 in the intravenous plus irrigation group. The median and interquartile range of VAS scores for the intravenous, irrigation, and intravenous plus irrigation groups were 2.70 (2.50, 2.86) (Z = -3.677, P = 0.002), 2.67 (2.50, 2.77) (Z = -3.058, P < 0.001), and 2.91 (2.75, 3.00) (Z = -6.634, P < 0.001), respectively, significantly higher than that of the control group [2.44 (2.37, 2.53)]. Moreover, the control group consumed more irrigation fluid than the intravenous group, irrigation group, and intravenous plus irrigation group (all P < 0.05). The intravenous plus irrigation group consumed less irrigation fluid than either the intravenous group or the irrigation group (both P < 0.001). There was no difference in subacromial decompression and acromioplasty operative time among the four groups. Conclusion TXA applied both topically and systematically can improve intraoperative visual clarity, and the combined application is more effective.

Observation on the effect of body position intervention combined pronase in sifting gastroscopy / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To explore the application of body position intervention combined pronase in gastric mucosal cleaning in painless gastroscopy.Methods A total of 200 patients who underwent painless gastroscopy from July 2016 to July 2017 in the digestive endoscopy center were selected as the subjects.According to the random digital table method,the patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group of 100 cases.In the experimental group,before the gastroscope was examined,pronase plus Dimethicone Powder and lidocaine mucilage was used,and then the body position intervention (right supine 5 min-supine 5 min-left lying position 5 min) was examined,and the control group was taken Dimethicone Powder and Lido before the intensive examination.The caking mortar was then placed on the left side of the examination bed 15 min for examination.The upper gastrointestinal tract visual field definition and endoscopic operation time were compared between the two groups under magnifying endoscopy under white light and narrowband imaging.Results In the experimental group,72.0％ (72/100),20.0％ (20/100),6.0％ (6/100) and 2.0％ (2/100) of A,B,C,D grade of the visual field clarity of mucosa under white light were better than 32.0％ (32/100),30.0％ (30/100),13.0％ (13/100) and 25.0％ (25/100) of the control group,respectively.The difference was statistically significant (x2=39.54,P ＜ 0.05).There were 0,6,29 and 65 cases of 1,2,3,4 scores of microvascular visual field intelligibility scores under magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow band imaging in the experimental group,which were better than those in the control group (11,31,28 and 30 cases respectively).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z =-6.07,P ＜ 0.05).The examination time of the experimental group was (10.64 ± 3.83) minutes,which was lower than that of the control group (11.67 ± 4.89) minutes,and the difference was statistically significant (t=1.978,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The effect of pronase as an anti mucilage agent combined with body position is obvious,and the effect of dispelling the mucus and removing the mucus is comprehensive,and it can effectively shorten the time of examination.It is worthy of clinical application.
