RESUMO
【Objective】 To investigate the independent risk factors of urinary tract infection (UTI) in recipients under-going renal transplantation of donation after brain death (DBD), so as to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of postoperative UTI. 【Methods】 A retrospective study was conducted for recipients who received renal transplantation of DBD in our hospital during Jan.2021 and Dec.2021. The recipients were divided into the infection group (n=26) and non-infection group (n=74) according to the incidence of UTI 3 months after operation. The risk factors of UTI were identified with univariate and multivariate analyses. 【Results】 The incidence of UTI was 26%. Univariate analysis showed that gender, postoperative urinary fistula, time of indwelling catheter and time of indwelling double J tube were the influencing factors of UTI (P<0.05). Forward stepwise regression analysis showed time of indwelling double J tube (OR=1.086,95%CI:1.003-1.177,P=0.042) and time of indwelling catheter(OR=4.687,95%CI:2.064-10.645, P<0.010) were the independent risk factors of UTI (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The time of indwelling catheter and time of indwelling double J tube are the independent factors of UTI after renal transplantation of DBD.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of early lactate in patients with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with ECPR in the Emergency Medicine Department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2015 to August 2021. The age, sex, etiology, initial rhythm, prognosis, blood lactate and pH of patients with ECPR were collected, and their difference between the deceased and survived patients was compared.Results:Totally 95 patients were enrolled, with an average age of 47 years; male accounted for 69.5%, and the survival rate was 29.5%. There was no significant difference in age and sex ratio between the deceased and survived patients. However, the deceased patients had a significant lower rate of shockable rhythms (31.3% vs. 60.8%), a higher level of lactate [16.4 (11.2, 19.1) vs. 9.2 (3.2, 15.0), mmol/L], and a lower pH [7.01 (6.88, 7.23) vs. 7.37 (7.10, 7.43)] than the survived patients. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that shockable rhythm [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.295, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.118-0.739), lactate ( OR=1.159, 95% CI: 1.068-1.258) and pH ( OR= 0.017, 95% CI: 0.002-0.157) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Furthermore, a lactate level >24 mmol/L was the best threshold to predict mortality with a specificity of 100%. Combined application, the cutoff point was lactate level>16 mmol/L and pH <6.828. Conclusions:Shockable rhythm, higher early lactate and lower pH value are independent risk factors for prognosis in patients with ECPR. Early lactate > 24 mmol/L or lactate > 16 mmol/L companied with pH < 6.828 are novel indicators of the termination of ECPR.
RESUMO
Resumen Introducción: Aun con adecuado protocolo de desconexión de la ventilación mecánica (DVM), el procedimiento falla en 15 a 30 % de los casos. Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre factores de riesgo independientes y fracaso posextubación en pacientes con DVM en una unidad de cuidados intensivos. Método: Estudio de cohorte, longitudinal, prospectivo, analítico, que incluyó pacientes sometidos a ventilación mecánica por más de 24 horas y que fueron extubados. Se obtuvieron reportes preextubación de hemoglobina, albúmina, fósforo, índice cintura-cadera y puntuación SOFA. Se definió como fracaso de extubación al reinicio de la ventilación mecánica en 48 horas o menos. Resultados: Se extubaron 123 pacientes, 74 hombres (60 %); la edad promedio fue de 50 ± 18 años. Ocurrió fracaso de extubación en 37 (30 %). Como factores de riesgo independentes se asoció hipoalbuminemia en 29 (23.8 %, RR = 1.43, IC 95 % = 1.11-1.85) e hipofosfatemia en 18 (14.6 %, RR = 2.98, IC 95 % = 1.66-5.35); se observaron dos o más factores de riesgo independientes en 22.7 % (RR = 1.51, IC 95 % = 1.14-2.00). Conclusiones: Identificar los factores de riesgo independentes antes de la DVM puede ayudar a reducir el fracaso de la extubación y la morbimortalidad asociada.
Abstract Introduction: Even with an adequate mechanical ventilation weaning (MVW) protocol, the procedure fails in 15 to 30 % of cases. Objective: To assess the association between independent risk factors (IRFs) and post-extubation failure in patients undergoing MVW in an intensive care unit. Method: Longitudinal, prospective, analytical cohort study in patients on mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours and who were extubated. Pre-extubation reports of hemoglobin, albumin, phosphorus, waist-hip ratio and SOFA score were obtained. Extubation failure was defined as resumption of mechanical ventilation within 48 hours or less. Results: 123 patients were extubated, out of whom 74 were males (60 %); average age was 50 ± 18 years. Extubation failure occurred in 37 (30 %). Hypoalbuminemia was associated as an independent risk factor in 29 (23.8 %, RR = 1.43, 95 % CI = 1.11-1.85) and hypophosphatemia was in 18 (14.6 %, RR = 2.98, 95 % CI = 1.66-5.35); two or more IRFs were observed in 22.7 % (RR = 1.51, 95 % CI = 1.14-2.00). Conclusions: Identifying independent risk factors prior to MVW can help reduce the risk of extubation failure and associated morbidity and mortality.
