目的总结截肋引流术在脓胸治疗中的应用价值 方法回顾性分析2008年1月至2013年1月于九原区医院胸外科及大连医科大学附属第二医院胸外科21例脓胸患者的临床资料,其中男15例、女6例,年龄33~65(42.5± 4.5)岁。脓胸位于左侧胸腔9例,右侧胸腔12例。患者均采用截肋引流术进行治疗。 结果21例截肋引流术均获得成功,无围术期死亡病例。术后应用抗菌素7~10 d。术后3~7 d拔除上胸腔引流管。术后10~21 d当胸腔引流液少于20 ml时,将脓腔内引流管引流改为开放引流,23~40 d完全拔出脓腔引流管。术后胸部X线片示18例患者肺膨胀良好,无残腔;3例患者有少量包裹性积液。21例患者均顺利出院。随访6个月至5年,患者症状消失,胸部X线片示肺膨胀良好,无残腔,无复发。 结论截肋引流术是一项安全有效的治疗技术,对于急慢性脓胸均有一定的临床应用价值。
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of combined telephone and WeChat follow-up for patients discharged with an indwelling closed thoracic drainage tube after surgery for stage Ⅲ tuberculous empyema. MethodsPatients with stage Ⅲ tuberculous empyema who were discharged with an indwelling drainage tube from the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu, between November 2021 and November 2022 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into an observation group (combined telephone and WeChat follow-up) and a control group (telephone-only follow-up). The quality of life (QoL), treatment adherence, and recovery outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 81 patients were included. The observation group consisted of 49 patients (31 male, 18 female) with a mean age of (38.63±15.86) years. The control group consisted of 32 patients (27 male, 5 female) with a mean age of (36.91±17.33) years. The observation group showed significantly higher postoperative QoL scores in the domains of physical functioning, emotional functioning, physical symptoms, global health status, and overall QoL compared to the control group (all P<0.05). Regarding treatment adherence, the observation group demonstrated superior performance in daily activity duration, use of a respiratory trainer, and adherence to coughing exercises compared to the control group (all P<0.001). The duration of chest tube indwelling was significantly shorter in the observation group (P<0.001). Furthermore, the observation group showed better recovery in albumin and hemoglobin levels (P<0.001). ConclusionA combined telephone and WeChat follow-up approach can significantly improve the QoL and treatment adherence for patients discharged with an indwelling drainage tube. This method effectively shortens the duration of postoperative tube drainage, promotes nutritional recovery, and accelerates overall postoperative rehabilitation.
