In recent years，West China Hospital of Sichuan University actively participated in medical assistance and rescue in Wenchuan，Yushu and Lushan earthquakes. However，professional roles of cardiovascular surgeons in medical assistance and rescue in earthquakes remain unclear because of the particularity of cardiovascular surgery, which often affects the assembly of medical assistance and rescue teams. Thus，we need to explore the necessity for cardiovascular surgeons to join medical rescue teams within 72 hours after earthquake. In this article，medical rescue work of cardiovascular surgeons within 72 hours after 2008 “5•12” Wenchuan earthquake and 2013 “4•20” Lushan earthquake is analyzed and compared to identify professional roles of cardiovascular surgeons in medical rescue within 72 hours after earthquake. It is necessary for cardiovascular surgeons to join medical rescue teams within 72 hours after earthquake.
Surgical treatment of atrial septal defect (ASD) mainly includes occlusion or repair under cardiopulmonary bypass. Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation includes transcatheter radiofrequency ablation or Maze surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. There are many treatments for ASD patients combined with atrial fibrillation, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We reported an ASD patient combined with atrial fibrillation treated by totally endoscopic "one-stop" radiofrequency ablation and simultaneous transthoracic ASD occlusion of atrial fibrillation, with good postoperative results.
Baoxing airborne medical team of West China Hospital participated in the medical rescue in 2013 “4?20”Lushan earthquake. The medical team excellently fulfilled their rescue task for 1 week in the earthquake-struck areas where there was power and communication failure and lack of water and food supply. We found some experiences and problems in airbornemedical team assembly and member selection, which may provide quotable experiences for future disaster assistance and rescue teams.
目的探讨纤维支气管镜（纤支镜）在体外循环术后机械通气患者中的应用。 方法回顾性分析2014年1～12月行纤支镜检查76例体外循环术后机械通气患者的临床资料，男45例、女31例，年龄21～71（42.8±6.3）岁。其中行二尖瓣置换术35例，主动脉瓣置换术11例，二尖瓣置换术+主动脉瓣置换术17例，冠状动脉旁路移植术5例，升主动脉+主动脉全弓或半弓人工血管置换术8例。术前心功能Ⅱ级25例、Ⅲ级39例、Ⅳ级12例。术前合并中、重度肺动脉高压13例，感染性心内膜炎5例。 结果76例患者中气道大量分泌物59例，气道严重充血、水肿明显9例，痰痂阻塞气管导管3例，血痂阻塞气管导管2例，导管部分闭塞2例，气道轻微渗血1例。59例经纤支镜检查吸出气道分泌物后，肺部湿啰音较检查前明显减轻，呼吸状态明显好转；其余17例也经纤支镜检查进行准确诊断和有效处理。本组患者在纤支镜检查中顺利完成痰液标本采集共31例，未发生缺氧、心律失常和出血等操作并发症。 结论体外循环术后机械通气患者行纤支镜检查，在维持呼吸道通畅、正确指导抗生素应用、辅助诊断治疗中有积极作用。
