Objective To explore the traumatic situation and transfer methods of the in-patients injured in Lushan Earthquake, and to provide evidence for treating injured mass in future. Methods The information of the patients injured in Lushan Earthquake who were admitted in Chengdu Military General Hospital were collected by “No. 1 Military Medical Project” hospital information system and a self-edited “Questionnaire for Hospitalized Patients Injured in 4.20 Lushan Earthquake”. Results A total of 65 patients were admitted in this hospital: 63 (96.92%) patients were injured in the main shock; 28 (43.08%) patients were injured by building collapse; 23 (35.38%) patients got injured due to falls or got bruised when escaping; and 14 (21.54%) patients were accidentally injured. Rescue methods: 32 (49.23%) patients were saved by themselves; 23 (35.38%) patients were mutually helped; 10 (15.38%) patients were rescued by local non-military rescue team; 34 (52.31%) patients were rescued by military rescue teams; and 26 (44.83%) patients were transferred by air transport. Conclusion In order to cope with emergencies and major disasters (e.g. earthquake) and to treat injured mass scientifically in the future, we should set up emergency wards scientifically and reasonably, carry out education on earthquake prevention and disaster mitigation widely, reinforce self-care and mutual aid in the stricken area, quickly send rescue and medical teams, and organize training for air transportation of patients.
Objective To discuss the common clinical problems and make the individualized treatment for a patient with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding by means of evidence-based medicine, so as to ultimately control the symptoms and reduce the mortality. Methods After the clinical problems were put forward, the systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were collected in The Cochrane Library (online), MEDLINE, EMBase, SCIE and CNKI databases, from the date of their establishment to 2010. The treatment protocol was made by combining the assessment of evidence with the willingness of both patient and relatives. Results A total of 30 RCTs and 5 systematic reviews were identified. A rational diagnostic and therapeutic plan was made upon a serious evaluation of the data and willingness of patients. The Mickel’s diverticulum was found through capsule endoscopy, which was then locally excised under laparoscopy. After a 6-month follow-up, the plan proved to be optimal. Conclusion The treatment efficacy in diagnosed obscure gastrointestinal bleeding has been improved by adopting an individualized treatment plan according to evidence-based methods.
目的 探讨神经外科危重患者经外周静脉置入中心静脉导管(PICC)的常见并发症发生原因,同时总结并发症有效预防措施及护理对策。 方法 纳入2009年9月-2012年9月期间行PICC的190例神经外科重症住院患者,统计并发症发生率,对其原因进行分析,并开展针对性预防和护理。 结果 本组患者PICC置管后有75例发生不同类型并发症,其中置管时并发症17例,包括导管异位8例,送管困难6例,穿刺失败3例,发生率为9%;导管留置期间并发症58例,包括穿刺点渗血、渗液16例,意外拔管12例,静脉炎10例,导管部分脱出9例,导管堵塞7例,导管相关性感染3例,导管相关性静脉血栓1例,发生率为30.5%。根据其发生的不同原因,采取积极的治疗和护理措施,并发症得以治愈,降低了并发症发生率。 结论 规范护理流程,加强临床培训,熟悉和掌握PICC并发症的预防和护理措施,可提高PICC置管、使用的安全性。
Objective To investigate the relationship between changes of vascular elasticity and spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods We examined the semiquantitatively expression of related angiogenesis factors including von Willebrand factor, elastin and neutrophil elastase in 30 specimens of HCC with spontaneous rupture by immunohistochemistry compared with 30 specimens of HCC without rupture. Results The results showed that there was a significant decrease of von Willebrand factor, overproliferation of elastin and abnormal distribution of neutrophil elastase around the small artery in ruptured HCC. These changes exacerbated weakness of the blood vessels and destroyed function of coagulation. The blood vessels split easily when the vascular load increased from hypertension or minor mechanical trauma. Conclusion The spontaneous rupture of HCC may be related to the vascular dysfunction.
Twenty-one patients(male 18 cases,femal 3 cases)died of primary liver cancer after operation are reviewed.The liver tumors were located in the right lobe(13 cases),left lobe(3 cases),middle position of liver(4 cases)and hepatic hilum(1 cases).The average diameter of the tumors were 9.0cm.All the patients had suffered from liver cirrhosis and were operated on (most of them partial hepatectomy).The times of death were about 7 days,7-14 days later after operation.The data suggest that causes of death were different from the different stage after operation.The relations between partial hepatectomy and hepatic failure,and the liver cirrhosis and liver regeneration are discussed.
Objective To analyze death causes and relevant factors in victims of Wenchuan earthquake.Methods Medical records of 27 dead patients admitted to W est China Hospital during the first 30 days after Wenchuan earthquake were analyzed retrospectively.Patient census data,diagnoses,dispositions,and prognoses were collected. Results A total of 2702 patients with earthquake related injuries were admitted to West China Hospital.The overall mortality rate was 1%(27/2702 patients).The death were associated with age≥70.severe cerebral injuries and severe underlying illness.Mortality rate was highest in aged patients with comorbidities.Conclusions Insufficient pre-hospital treatment and inappropriate transfer procedure may contribute to the early death.Complicated with comorbidities is the leading cause of late death.Earlier involvement of intensivist in medical intervention in such a disaster is demanded.
