Objective To analyze risk factors and therapy strategies of critically ill patients with acute pulmonary edema(APE)after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake．Methods Data including the level of hemoglobin，mean arterial pressure(MAP)，central venous pressure(CVP)，serum albumin as well as complications and liquid balance 1 week，3 days，1 day before onset of APE was collected an d an alyzed retrospectively．Resets Among 142 patients during two months after May 12 earthquake APE was detected in 17 cases for 25 times．The hemoglobin Was (86．04 ±16．31)s／L，MAP was(99．40±17．38)mm Hg，CVP Was (13．64 ±4．09)mm Hg and serum albumin was(27．80±8．10)g／L．Acute renal failure，severe infection，cardiovascular disease and extremity lost were more common in APE patients．Theliquid net intake Was (1 725．05±4 624．84)mL for one week，(1 574．70±2 857．13)mL for 3 days and (368．56±1 589．89)mL for 1 day before the onset of APE．The liquid intake Was significantly higher in young group．APE Was alleviated promptly after integrated therapy in all cases．Conclusions Traumapatients with ARF or extremity lost are prone to be compromised with APE．Severe infection and overburden of liquid may be other predisposing factors．
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention( PCI) under mechanical ventilation for the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with acute pulmonary edema. Methods The clinical data of 15 patients admitted to the emergency ward for acute pulmonary edema caused by acute myocardial infarction from 2007 to 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients received emergency PCI under mechanical ventilatory support.Parameters involved changes of symptoms, arterial blood gas, left ventricular ejection fraction( LVEF) , plasma concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide( BNP) , and high sensitivity reactive protein( hs-CRP) . Results All patients showed significant improvements in dyspnea, artery blood gas parameters after PCI( P lt;0. 01) .LVEF increased significantly after PCI compared with before weaning [ ( 37. 36 ±0. 02) % vs ( 47. 41 ±0. 02) % , F =461. 47, P lt; 0. 05] . The concentrations of BNP and hs-CRP returned to lower level 4 weeks after PCI [ ( 99. 34 ±5. 15) fmol /mL vs ( 430. 50 ±96. 08) fmol /mL, ( 8. 35 ±2. 49) ng/mL vs ( 89. 50 ±9. 30) ng/mL, both P lt;0. 01] . Conclusion Emergency PCI under mechanical ventilatory support is a feasible and effective approach for patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with acute pulmonary edema.
Objective To investigate whether sodium tanshinone ⅡA sulphonate ( STS) treatment attenuates pulmonary edema of seawater drowning ( PE-SWD) , and examine the effects of STS on Na-KATPase(NKA) in PE-SWD. Methods Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into there groups, ie. a normal group ( NG) , a seawater group ( SG) , and a STS treatment group ( TG) . The rat model of PE-SWD was established by seawater instillation. PaO2 , histological changes of lungs, lung wet /dry weight ratio ( W/D) ,pulmonary microvascular permeability ( PMVP) , and NKA activity were detected. Western blot were used to test the effects of STS on NKA-α1 expression. Results Seawater instillation decreased PaO2 and the expression of NKA, while increased W/D ratio and PMVP. At 2 h after seawater instillation, the PaO2 in the TG group were significantly higher than those in the SG group, and peaked at 4 h after seawater instillation.Histological examination showed that there were hemorrhage, edema, markedly thickened alveolar wall, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in alveolar spaces in the SG group, but lung injury was significantly alleviated in the TG group. W/D ratio and PMVP in the TG group were significantly lower than those in the SG group. Additionally, NKA activity and NKA-α1 expression were significantly higher in the TG group than those in the SG group. Conclusion STS treatment can attenuate pulmonary edema of seawater drowning which may be related with up-regulating Na-K-ATPase activity and expression.
【摘要】 目的 探讨西地兰联合小剂量酒石酸美托洛尔静脉注射治疗二尖瓣狭窄合并急性肺水肿与快速型心房颤动的疗效与安全性。 方法 将2005年1月-2010年2月收治的60例二尖瓣狭窄合并急性肺水肿与快速型心房颤动患者，随机分配至西地兰组与联合用药组，西地兰组以多次静脉注射西地兰控制心率，联合用药组则予以多次静脉注射西地兰与小剂量酒石酸美托洛尔，分别在用药开始时、用药开始后监测收缩压、心率、呼吸频率与手指脉搏血氧饱和度（SpO2），同时观察肺部啰音、呼吸困难，记录肺水肿改善时间。 结果 两组患者在治疗开始时心异率、呼吸频率、收缩压与SpO2均无差异；在治疗整个过程中，两组患者收缩压无差异；治疗开始后60、90及120 min时联合用药组心率均显著低于西地兰组。联合用药组从在治疗开始到肺水肿改善的时间短于西地兰组[(71.37±13.37)、(78.77±14.74) min，P=0.046]。治疗期间无患者出现病情恶化或死亡。联合用药组患者的酒石酸美托洛尔平均总量为4.22 mg/例。 结论 在排除美托洛尔禁忌症的前提下，静脉注射西地兰与小剂量酒石酸美托洛尔可快速、安全、有效地控制二尖瓣狭窄合并急性肺水肿与心房颤动患者的心率，缓解肺水肿。【Abstract】 Objective To observe the effect of intravenous injection with cedilanid and small does of metoprolol tartrate on mitral stenosis complicating with acute pulmonary edema and atrial fibrillation. Methods Sixty patients with mitral stenosis complicating with acute pulmonary edema and atrial fibrillation from January 2005 to February 2010 were randomly divided into cedilanid group and drug combination group, which was administered with cedilanid, or cedilanid and small does metoprolol tartrate by intravenous injection, respectively. Systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), dypnea, rales over lung field and the time from beginning of treatment to pulmonary edema improved were monitored as soon as the treatment began. Results There was no significant difference in basic data such as systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and SpO2 at the beginning of treatment between the two groups, and no obvious difference was seen in systolic blood pressure at all the time of treatment between the two groups; while a obvious decrease took place in heart rate between cedilanid group and drug combination group after the treatment began; the time from beginning of treatment to pulmonary edema in drug combination group was much shorter than that in cedilanid group [(71.37±13.37), (78.77±14.74) minutes, P=0.046]. Conclusion Without contraindication of metoprolol, intravenous injection with cedilanid combined with small dose of metoprolol can effectively, quickly and safely treat the patients with mitral stenosis complicating with acute pulmonary edema and atrial fibrillation by controlling the heart rate.
